Who was Anakin's father?

I've herd that the father of Anakin was a Dark Sith who got killed by Palpatine. If so who invented this story and what book is it in?
Are there any pictures of him?

Some other names I've come across are:-

Nevin Skywalker
Maran Skywalker
Rean Kenobi
Brannon Skywalker

these names may of been made up for the 1st script of the TPM but if not then who are they?

I don't buy the idea that Anakin was just born period.

 

I've read somewhere that the Force is his parent and Shmi only carried him .

 

I thought it was Qui-Gon after I saw the first movie I mean he says he'd been there before.

 

Oh God, not this again...

Just like back in the 3SA. This is very sad.

Shmi just doesn't remember having sex with some man that would've concived Anakin. Its possible her mind was wiped regarding that incident or perhaps she was drugged then raped.

Its totally plausible that someone did indeed sleep with Shmi which resulted in Anakin.

 

My parents think it was the midichlorians.


Not like those were ever mentioned again

I dig that Force theory

My only beef is that, if the Force conceved him, then what? The light side and dark side had sex? That's just wrong man. And if that's true, it brings up the question: which side is male, and which side is female?

 

I'm pretty sure his "father" (if you want to call it that) was the Force. I can't recall reading anything that suggested differently. The stories about a human father might have come from pre-TPM fan speculation. Since TPM, it's pretty much accepted that he was concieved by the Force.

 

Anakin's a bastard.

 

As for me i think that the force is Anakin's parent. Just as Jesus had no biological father. The force paralles the Holy sprit.
"... Joseph son of David, do not be afraid to take Mary home as your wife, because what is concieved in her is from the Holy Spirit." Matthew 1:20

Well there is my soapbox.

 

I've heard rumors that Dooku/Sidious raped Shmi.
Rumors.
I buy the force conception.

 

I also by the Force conception and that makes the movies all the cooler because everything that happens occurs according to a divine plan.

 

I somewhat doubt the force could spawn Anakin (plus I'd rather no think of Anakin as a Jesus character). And Shmi's whole "there was no father" could just mean he was some deadbeat that has no place in the kids life.

 

Maul.

 

However impossible it may be, I've always heard that the Force conceived Anakin, though how, I have no clue. But I've never heard anything otherwise, and Shmi says, "There was no father," so the Force must have.

I'm pretty sure that's it.

 

Maul.

Hey, the guy was pretty Horny.

...

What? He had a lot of horns!

Or maybe it was the ghost of Revan...

 

Since we officially go by the movies and not fanfics, Shmi and the force are Anakin's rents.


Anakin's a bastard.


I hate the ugliness of that rermark. For centuries, poor little children have been branded as some lesser being, because their mother was loose, or the father was a rapist of some sort. blaming that on the innocent makes me sick. The only bastards are the ones that think a child should pay for something they had no say in or control over.

And all the Jedi have no parents, so it's strange to hold that against him.

 

Since we officially go by the movies and not fanfics, Shmi and the force are Anakin's rents.

Where is it ever stated that the Force is Anakin's father?

We have 2 things about Anakin's father.

A. Shmi claims there is no father. She never says "I was raped by the Force."

B. We have Qui-Gon jumping to the conclusion that the Force must be Anakin's father. Since he didn't know Shmi 10 years before TPM he has no idea what might have happened.

My reasons.

Maul: Clearly demented. He could have raped Shmi and wiped her memory with his Force powers.

Revan's ghost: Probably the most powerful Jedi before Anakin. How would Shmi know if he was Anakin's father?

 

Ghosts don't have sperm, and Maul was 24 when he died. Why would he rape a 30 year old, not gorgeous slave woman, when he was 14?

And Shmi didn't say she was raped. Shmi is no one special. The point is, Anakin is a vergeance in the force. Midi clhorians cause the vergeance. Shmi has the force, as it states that she always knows when Anakin is near and how he's feeling. Just because she never had the opportunity to use the force doesn't mean she doesn't have it. I think she did, and she had midi chlorians.

 

Ghosts don't have sperm,

Nor does the Force.

and Maul was 24 when he died. Why would he rape a 30 year old, not gorgeous slave woman, when he was 14?

Because he was a demented little Zabrak. And Shmi was a easy target.

 

If Anakin was half Zabrak, he'd have horns, and he wouldn't be a blue eyed blondish kid.

And I said, Shmi had midi chlorians. Already, inside of her.

That being said, I think Anakin could be like little Ian on STTNG. Remember Deanna's son? It was a little energy being that used the DNA of a shipmate and Deanna, to be born and experience their culture. Well, I was thinking an energy being, that used DNA of a good looking blond guy, and Shmi, to be an experiment.

 

>_< not this again....

Seriously, people. Star Wars is Science-Fiction/Fantasy/whatever. The point is that it doesn't have to make sense. It occurs in a universe where the laws of physics don't even apply.

If a worm can have sex with itself
And a dog can have a false pregnancy
then a magical energy can impregnate a normal, run of the mill woman.

 

If Anakin was half Zabrak, he'd have horns, and he wouldn't be a blue eyed blondish kid.

Maul's horns could be fake. He looks like he is only pretending to be a Zabrak.

Real Zabrak and Maul. Hmmm. I know he is supposed to be a different type of Zabrak. But he could be faking it.

And I said, Shmi had midi chlorians. Already, inside of her.

And Revan's ghost couldn't get inside her?

(that was not intended to be sexual. Well kinda)

 

Even though I don't like the Jesus tones to it, I believe the Force is Anakin's father.

Maul? Er...why would it be Maul if it was a Sith Lord? Wouldn't it be a very weird coincidence that Maul happened to go to Tattooine (I know I probably spelled that wrong), knocked up a slave girl, then returns to go slay a few Jedi and meets up with his son?

 

rogue_wookiee, I hope you're just being sarcastic and playing around, cause your ideas are just...*shakes head* Even in the SW galaxy that's just, no. Sorry.

Darth Maul, who's real name is rumored to be Khamier Sarin, is known as a Zabrak to some and an Iridonian to others. It seems you would be believing Iridonian.

So basically, yes there are different types of them.

Vongchild, thank you, everyone please just read what she said.

The idea of any Sith or Jedi knocking up Shmi is ludicrous too, the idea of just simply finding some slave on Tatooine, having sex and conceiving Anakin, then leaving is lame. A jedi would not do that.

And a Sith sure as hell would not go for some unattractive slave woman.
