Han calls it a "hokey religion."
Vader choked the guy who said:
"Don't try to frighten us with your sorcerer's ways, Lord Vader. Your sad devotion to that ancient religion has not helped you conjure up the stolen data tapes, or given you clairvoyance enough to find the Rebel's hidden fortress...
urp!"
He was calling it magic sarcastically.

I prefer to see it as a chi or ki - like force.
Of course it would seem like magic or sorcery to the uninitiated.
As for the midi-chlorians, I prefer to prentend I never hear of them. Or Jar Jar.
