Topic: Was Anakin created by Darth Plagueis

Reading a book recently that said Darth Plagueis theoretically could create a force sensitive being with the highest midi-chlorian count ever. Could he or Palpatine actually have managed this and created Anakin. If so it would explain Anakin never having a father and palpatines interest in him. Any thoughts?

I absolutely believe that is what they have alluded to in the prequels. I read somewhere that Anakin only became limited in his ability because of less actual biological components (Which meant an overall smaller amount of midichlorians). I haven't read the book on Plagueis but I'm sure that is somewhere along the lines of where it leads to.

Its an interesting concept but I don't feel "The Force" ever had to be explained and that the theory of midichlorians cheapens is some.

I have to agree with you. The Force is meant to be something that no one knows where it really originated from or what it actually is. I don't think there was any need to try and explain it with midi chlorians.

That really does seem to be the popular consensus. Although the idea of a mad-scientist type Sith is kind of cool. Have you read the new Plagueis book that came out?
