Let's try making a multiple choice question from this information.
Read the following two dialogues and answer question number 10
A. From Star Wars: The Phantom Menace
QUI-GON: The force is unusually strong with him, that much is clear. Who was his (Anakin's) father?
SHMI: There was no father, that I know of... I carried him, I gave him birth, I can't explain what happened.
B. From Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith
PALPATINE: I thought not. It's not a story the Jedi would tell you. It's a Sith legend. Darth Plagueis was a Dark Lord of the Sith, so powerful and so wise he could use the Force to influence the midi-chlorians to create life ... He had such a knowledge of the dark side that he could even keep the ones he cared about from dying.
10. Based on the information provided in the above dialogues, Anakin's father is most likely:
a. Palpatine
b. Qui-Gon
c. Shmi
d. Darth Plagueis
Correct Answer: D
Anakin's birth was unexplained by his mother. Palpatine describes Darth Plagueis as the only person capable of creating life. It is logical to conclude that Plagueis influenced the midichlorians to create Anakin. For whatever reason, he chose Shmi Skywalker as the "carrier".
