there is no father...

could shmi be lying to qui gon? or just not realize what happend to her?

I can't get the scene out of my head when shmi is overlooking qui gon taking to obi wan about anakin's midichorian count and the sith music ooozzing into the end of that scene as we see shmi with a suspicious look on her face!!!

could anakin be a clone of an past great sith lord? our old pal palpatine could be behind this!

hey, I know this is a long shot, but ya never know...now that would be a good shocker/bombshell (lucas style)

Well, it is possible..but I always thought she just looked concerned.

the whole thing seems sort-of mysterious. shmi may have not wanted to say anything else, or maybe she really didn't know anything else. the fact remains, anakin's midi-chlorian count is huge. if he did have a father, i want to know who it was.

by the way, can shmi use the force? would make sense if she could. two really powerful parents create a super hero or something. okay, maybe not.

I think if she could use the Force that QC would have sensed it. I am still believing that there really isn't a father, thus explaining Anakin's power. If the life forms that create the Force created him, it explains how he is the choosen one

I agree with Dim. Shmi only looked worried or concerned to me. And she did not seem to be force-sensitive in any way, but I guess you never know.

I think a dark Jedi may be Anakin's father,maybe Christopher Lee.But having two Skywalkers discovering their fathers are evil Jedi would kind of be dull don't you think?Who knows it could even be Palpatine.I do think Shmi knows who the father is though.

I agree that Shmi just looks concerned while standing by the door at night. But I don't think that we'll find out that Anakin has a father. I know we should expect to see lots of plot-twists and surprises, but Anakin being conceived by the midichlorians seemed to be a rather important matter in his role as the chosen one and it is unlikely that Lucas will change it.

I know...I agree with all of you, but I can't help but notice the sith music mixed into the end of that scence and think there was a hint of some sort....

I'm probobly paranoid on this one...I know...

No! Like I said before, the Medichlorians and Shmi conceived him. That's why his medichlorian count was "off the charts".

Why does Anakin have blonde hair when his mother has brown?

The father maybe had blond?

If there is a father that is.

Which I beleave there is.

Maybe midi's are blond.

I had a debate on another board one the official bio's on StarWars.com revealing possible clues. It struck me that Shmi's bio did not mention anything about Anakin's conception but did tell how she could sense him so well. This might mean Anakin's origins are still open.

Yes I heard that she could sense when he was near or far away.

Maybe she gave Anakin his Jedi reflexes.

If she has so many midichlorians within her then how comes she doesn't really show much jedi traits (apart from the one we just mentioned)

Because she was deprived of those skills being a slave.She didn't have a mentor that could open up her skills.That is why she showed no signs.

"Because she was deprived of those skills being a slave." So was Anakin, yet he showed Jedi reflexes and seeing into the future.
This midi thing is getting out of hand, hopefully Qui-Gon was wrong on this one.

Thanx for that info EJ.
