You can't leave us hanging like that Lucas. Don't try that whole Shmi/Virgin Mary crap angle. I'm not buying it.

I've always thought it should be a "Devil's Advocate" scenario. Years ago, when Palpatine was a low level bureaucrat on some fact-finding tour or whatever he happened upon Shmi and his force sensitivity told him she would make an ideal mother for his dark child. He shtupped her and did a little sith mesmer on her to make her forget him.

Anyone else feel like Lucas was trying too hard to add mythology / symbolism with his whole "The One" , "Prophecy", and "There is no father" baloney? It's almost like he saw the Matrix and thought, "Gee, that's a pretty good idea, I should do that in my movie!"

At the very least, Lucas could have been a little less heavy-handed with the Anakin-is-Jesus connection.

I certainly think that Lucas has made some missteps in the prequel trilogy, but I don't think a couple of brief references to a prophecy of "The Chosen One" equates to being "heavy handed".

WHAT? You mean the Matrix wasn't a completely original concept, better than Star Wars in every possible way? I can't believe fanboys would mislead me like this.

Bah! who cares anyway! An explaination is given in EPI, its a piss poor one, but it is offered, take it or leave it... and who know's something better (or probably much much worse) may be revealed to us thru EU some day.
