ok. i've got one question for you guys....why in the world would Plageius or Palpatine or whoever create Anakin on some hidden world? why would they feel they needed to hide him? the jedi didn't even know the sith existed at the supposed creation of anakin. why let some lady you don't even know raise someone that you have put so much into? there's too many risks. what if she was a terrible parent and he went off and died somewhere. what if she had a nervous breakdown and killed her son while he was sleeping? anakin is on a far off planet that takes a long time to reach. why take that risk? why not create him, then raise him yourself? the earlier you start to train him in the dark side the more powerful he'll become that much faster. why couldn't palaptine have raised anakin as his son and explained as much to the republic while he was chancellor? i suppose you could argue that the Jedi might recognize him through the force or that they might feel the dark side in him. if that's the case why couldn't they have done the same with Palps? it makes no sense to send the most important person to your plan for universal domination out in the middle of nowhere and wait for him to be raised. no, i'm sorry but logically this doesn't make any sense. there is no reasonable explanation for why the sith wouldn't start training him from day one. you might be able to make an argument that the sith created anakin but didn't know where they did so and that would make more sense (although no likely), but to create him and then let him off on his own for no reason at all is a ridiculous claim. there was too much at stake when it came to anakin. i believe that it wasn't until anakin was discovered and labeled by the Jedi as the Chosen One, that Palpatine figured Anakin would be a fine ally. tell me what you think but you can't look past these questions to prove any point about the sith creating a powerful force-child.
