Your theory doesn’t account for the noted difference in mastery of the skills of lightsaber duels from Anakin and Obi-wan’s battle on Mustafar to their battle on the Death Star. Yes Obi-wan is older, but Darth Vader can’t be that old by then however bad he looks under the suit. So we still need an in-universe excuse for that (we all know it’s absolutely inconceivable that it was actually because that was the first movie and the creators hadn’t done anything with lightsabers before).

And for the record I think the whole Midi-Chlorians thing is ridiculous. Your potential to be a hero shouldn’t be capped by the amount of bacteria/protozoa? seen in a blood test. In fact that was one thing I did like about The Last Jedi, making the point that anyone can use the Force.
