Plagues wanted to test his powers so he went to tatoonine. So when he saw a slave ( shmi) he tested his powers with her knowing, that he was evil, and then anakin came into the story. You wonder why anakin is so powerful with the force. Nowing that plaguis was evil, that made Shmi mad because anakin was a son of a sith

Revenge of the Sith seems to imply that it was either Darth Plagueis or Darth Sidious/Palpatine who caused the midi-chlorians to create Anakin. However, not everything Sidious says should be considered the truth. Remember, he blatantly lied in Attack of the Clones when he said, refering to his nogotiations with the Sepratists, "My negotiations will not fail." He was also lying when he told the Senate in the AOTC novelization, "The power you give me I will lay down when this crisis has abated." (continued)

Myself, I believe that the midi-chlorians created Anakin themselves to conteract the threat posed by Palpatine. And when that failed, Luke was their back-up plan. Maybe James Luceno's upcoming book about Darth Plagueis and Darth Sidious will shed some light on this.

not everything Sidious says should be considered the truth.

Exactly. In ROTS he said that his master 'taught his apprentice everything' yet, once Anakin joined him Palpatine added 'to cheat death is a power only one has achieved, but if we work together, i'm sure we can uncover the secret.' So Palpatine lied. But which one was the lie? No one knows.

I believe that the midi-chlorians created Anakin themselves to conteract the threat posed by Palpatine.

Yep, I agree.

I believe the force allowed Plageius or Sidious, I can't decide which, to creat Ani, for the same reasons jedivan2 stated. Even if it was Plageus, Sidious was aware, being his apprentice. Ani's birth may have been what gave Sidious the catapult to kill Plageus. Maybe he saw the way he could use Ani to bring about the fall of the Jedi. Makes him seem even more calculating and evil.

I believe that it is supposedly Plagueis who influenced the midi-chlorians to create Anakin.

There is supposed to be some evidence to that effect in one of the encyclopedias or something (I don't own it unfortunately), but it discusses some chamber or something of Plagueis' that is hidden somewhere that houses his prior experiments or something, I believe.

That is from memory from someone else. I have not read it myself.

I'm more curious has to how Shmi was picked to become the mother of this chosen one. Something attracted her to Darth Plagueis so that she would become the mother of the chosen one. Fascinating stuff.

I don't think Shmi's wishes had anything to do with it. I think she was an indescriminate slave. She wasn't married, had no children, no family to speak of, an owner with a cursory interest in her at best, as long as her work was done... perfect test subject. If she died as a result, who was to care? Was it even dangerous, whatever was done? She lived on a backward, out of the way world. She may have not even been aware Plageus or Sidious existed. I hope, hope, someone writes a novel on the subject.

I got nothin'. I've wondered the same thing many times myself, and have seen the same answers posted here time and again.......

I hope, hope, someone writes a novel on the subject. "Amen" to that one, Zelaskowski!!

Maybe James Luceno's upcoming book about Darth Plagueis and Darth Sidious will shed some light on this. Luceno is one of my fave authors - good choice, jedivan2!!

thank you mo2yp

mina, good points

Same here. Like MO2YP, I have wondered this time and again to no avail. It is one of those things we all would like to know, but are not sure what to do once we do.

Maybe James Luceno's upcoming book about Darth Plagueis and Darth Sidious will shed some light on this.

Maybe...he is a wonderful author and I'm sure will do a wonderful job with this one.

I think that's it, cbern!

Well we know for a fact Anakin did not have a father. I don't believe the MIdichlorians, on their own, created Anakin and I'll tell you why. I don't believe the force is didvided against itself. In other words, the force simpli "IS". The application of the force determines weather it is of the Dark side or not. The force wouldn't need to balance itself, it is always in balance. What is out of balance is the depth and knowledge to which it is used and understood and in this regard, the Sith were definitely ahead of the Jedi.

CONTINUED

This leaves either Palguies or Sidious. Although we can never know for sure, I suspect Sidious created Anakin using the midichlorians. Once created, Anakin is niether a servant of the light or the dark side. He still has to be persuaded to choose a side and that was one of Sidious's greateast accomplishments. Maintaining a strong influence on Anakin, yet allowing the Jedi to complete most of his training.

I just don't want to give the darkside that much credit. I think Sidious was lying through his teeth about the darkside being able to create life. He speaks about it with such confidence until it is time to deliver on his promise to Anakin, and then suddenly the knowledge is unavalable to him. Imagine that! He makes me soooooo mad. However, if the darkside did create Anakin then it serves them that he did in fact destroy the Sith!

Hmmmmm my feelings on this are stronger than I thought!

then suddenly the knowledge is unavalable to him

This has always been a point of contention for me. Sidious just cannot be trusted! Did he actually posses the knowledge he claimed to have and just refused to share it with ANY of his apprentices? Sith understand that thier apprentices one day will attempt to kill them so I'm sure Masters do not teach them all their powers. Was Sidious hording these powers for himself?

Then again, he could have been blowing smoke up Anakin's behind!

I think it's good we don't know (though maybe we will with the upcoming novel). It will certainly color what we feel about Anakin and the choices he made. If he was created by a 'dark sider' many will consider his turn towards the DS inevitable and not really under his control, thus excusing his horrid actions. Regardless of his birth, Anakin had choices to make and a destiny to fulfill. The Force might have kick-started the process, but Anakin's destiny was far from certain.

very true, kf, very true

i agree

Me 2!

I agree with Kenobi-fan.

Mayt he Force be with us all! God bless!
