To get back on topic, someone prove to me that Darth Plageous could not have been responsible for creating Anakin. It makes much more sense for him to have created Anakin than Sidious.
Consider this hypothetical situation. Sidious learned Plageous was using his powers to influence the midichlorians to create life. When Sidious learned of this, he probably assumed one day Plageous would have Anakin to be his apprentice. Fearing that this would occur, Sidious killed Plageous but never really knew where Anakin was created.
After the events of Episode One, Palpatine heard that a small boy from Tatooine was conceived by the will of the force. Realizing Anakin was probably created to be a Sith apprentice to Plageous in the first place, Palpatine decided to use Anakin to his own advantage.
It's makes absolutely no sense for Palpatine to have created Anakin and have him grow up as a slave. If Palpatine raised him from the start, it probably would have been easier for him to influence Anakin in the first place.
Prove to me Plageous was not the creator.it's not an unreasnobale theory, and i won't bag it out, as it has merit, but it is not lucas' style to have anything affected by a character we don't see or meet...
he likes everyone to tie in (anikan and greedo, yoda and chewbacca, etc.).
i just can't see him making an outsider responsible of such a thing. a SW film being affected by an unmet character would be like a murder mystery where the killer turns out be none of the suspects or characters... but some random off the street...
although i must say... if anikan would have been raised by palpatine, he would never have been able to get him inside the jedi order to find out what was happening in there...
