Just a thought I had. The quote comes from the trailer, but this is a question about the movie itself.

I really hope this does not mean Palpatine is Anakin's father.

no that would be a very stupid thought.................

Agreed!!

I heard the interesting theory somewhere.. bear with me, but it was that Sidious had learned how to manipulate the force so much, that Anakin's birth was the will of the force... but Sidious had willed the force to do it? And that's why he knows about Anakin when he's so young? It was an interesting and plausable theory, I probably didn't do a well enough job of explaining it, but good ears, DarkYoda.

^ just what I was thinking as I read the first post...

Possible? Yes. Plausible? A bit...

Palpatine is more of a father figure than Obi Wan in Anakin's eyes. Palps knows this so he plays on the fact Anakin hasn't got a father. Remember, he's a master manipulator.
But Palpitine turning around and saying "I am your father" will be so stupid and corny i'll walk out!

Shmi is an honest woman - if thats what she told Qui Gon about Anakin's conception (being 'no father'), then thats what happened. I think Qui Gon would have known if she was lying.


Although the old Padme switcharoo had him fooled....

Already been suggested and shot down (thankfully) by Ternian aka Motee.

i don't really think it means anything but...ive said this before...maybe palpatine says "son" because he wants anakin to think of him as a father..and palpatine knows thats what anakin lacks...but i think it really just doesnt mean anything...

Malic Clanorian - I like your thinking on this matter.

thank you my green friend...

It is no different than saying "lad" or "boy"

Palpatine irish style- "Go in kill them jedi ma lad, but can't have me lucky charms"

lol, you do know that he is scottish? so if he used his regular voice it would be something like that! lol

No hes not his Son, Papls is just using Anakin and Making him beleve he should turn to Him than any of the other Jedi, Palps has always been saying how great and everything Anakin really is.

I agree... It is real unlikely.... Palps always calls him "My friend"
and "Lord Vader" through the rest of the saga....

that's because at that point Anakin/Vader is already pussywhipped by palp so than he calls him friend instead of son

Not this argument again. Why don't we bring back the theory on how Palpatine is Sidious' clone too.

He IS isn't he....?

palps is supposed to show us powers we havent seen yet so i think he can change his appearance from normal 2 sith mode.

What like artificial (and distanced) force insemination?!

yeek, incest. its one or the other my man (personally i take leia, that slave outfit....oh so fine...)

imagine padme in the slave outfit.........

that i could imagine.....so far, nothing shes worn can match that one.

I must say...this is very "on topic"

Mmmm..portman in a slave outfit........

Might distract from her bad acting

Emm, well concerning the topic...lol

I think if Palpatine was Anakin's father Shmi wouldve said something like..
"Well one night this man who said he just "looked like" the Senator of Naboo, came over and well.... One thing lead to another... Then he was gone"

its a phrase people use, e.g "Look here son! " it doesnt mean i am your father

well priests say "son" a lot...but I don't think they are your or my father!

Exactly lol Scene from Episode III

Palps: Anakin, I am your father!
Anakin: No you're not...
Palps: Yeh I know, I was just kidding

Ok i dont want to bring religion into any of this, but GL wanted Anakin to be concieved from the will of the force. Very much like Jesus was conceived from the will of god. He was put on this earth to bring peace and abolish evil. Since Anakin is the CHOSEN ONE, he had a similar task

we'll have no more of this "palps is anakin's father" giberish!

Exactly! lol But yeh--- it seems to be a dream come true for some "fans"

this was confirmed from George himself in the "Mythology Of Star Wars" documentary a few years back, so its complete bullsh!t thank god!

Indeed..... Its not a soap opera for crying out loud lol

"Palps: Anakin, I am your father!
Anakin: No you're not...
Palps: Yeh I know, I was just kidding"

HHAHAHA!!! that was funny....

Thanks lol

and im pretty sure that he isnt being literal with this....lol

i think its more of a normal thing to say. hes kinda old, and old people often refer to young men as "son".....it also like some have said, is palps knowing what anakin wants. he never really had a father (other then obi-wan) and hes trying to show anakin the respect that anakin thinks he deserves. a respect he is not getting from the jedi.

Exactly, but people read into things.... You can read into everything if you are looking for it.

I tried to explain that multiple times to members here...but no it's all Anakin's fault

Obi-Wan says to Luke in Episode IV.. "Rest easy son, you've had a busy day" Again, doesnt mean that Obi-Wan's making hints! lol

Sounds like a job for Jerry Springer if Obi-Wan was Luke's dad. H8 to think what the security guards would do against a pair of sabers lol j/k theres no way Palpatine is Anakins dad. At least i hope not

No need to hope--- he isnt Anakin's dad, end of story

THIS IS WHAT IVE BEEN SAYING THE WHOLE TIME!! im sure that he was just calling him son just like some old dude does to anyone, but i still think it would be awesome if his father was palatine, THEN IT WOULD BE LIKE 3 GENERATIONS FIGHTING EACHOTEHR AT THE END OF ROTJ..

and taht whole ting about the midichlorians conceiving him.. no! has there been anynone who has actually said.. shmi never even had a partner... she was just pregnat one day..?

i hope hes not really his father. just a figure of speech like how old people say sonny and stuff like that.

palpatine being his father would be absolutely ridiculous and uncreative! Creating parallels is okay, but this would be exagerated! He is conceived by midi-chlorians...The Force created him...that's the end of it...Shmi told the truth, Anakin has no father, that's what George Lucas said too.

Exactly-- and as I said earlier-- I think Shmi wouldve remembered!

why would shmi fall for an old dude like him anyways??

could've of been wild in bed, waving his lightsaber about, but lets not get into detail here!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Does anyone REALLY think that GL would release a spoiler of that magnitude in the d*mn trailer!? c'mon! Even if it were the case, there is not a chance in Mustafar that in a 1 second clip of the trailer it would be revealed. Get real

Suddenly, this thread has taken a turn towards the better...

nicely done, altho her hair isnt suitable with it...still roxxxx tho!

Agreed! Much better topic than my original one!

Result..........!!!

What people need to realise is that Anakin has father figures, thats all. In Episode I it was Qui-Gon, In Episode II its Obi-Wan, and in Episode III it is Palpatine.

in my opinion, Obi-Wan was a father to Anakin, but Anakin wasn't like a son to Obi-Wan...a part why he became so arrogant.

Thats kinda true--- the problem was that Anakin didnt like the way Obi-Wan was treating him. Palpatine was always encouraging, so eventually it is his side that he takes instead of Obi-Wan

well he earned some respect, and there is only one moment in the movie that Obi-Wan gives him respect. I know you can't give him to much respect otherwise he would become more arrogant. But he deserved more.

Thats what Anakin thought also lol The thing is that he shouldnt care what people think of him, he should just do his duty as a Jedi. But he is a snob now, he wants to be the best and that is because of his upbringing as a slave, so he wants constant recognision and appraisal but he doesnt get it. But Palps gives it freely, and deliberately

she needs to be a little tanner,shes lookin kind of pale.

Hahahaha

I think the way Palpatine is trying to sound fatherly is appropriately devious.....

up

This is the thread that never ends, 'cause it goes on and on my friends!
