well, nothing from what we heard even hints at the idea of palps creating anything. it seems to me that he just learns to manipulate them to create life. it would certainly be related to the sith, since the sith love artificially reproduced fighters...so anakin is kind of a 'force clone' when you think about it.
however, on the very down side imho, its just wipes the remaining mysticism out of the force. even "the chosen one", probably the most important holy icon the jedi are taught about, turns out to be a fluke...a creation by a human. so what of the WILL of the force? what of all the talk of "finding him was no accident". was palps behind that as well? the force has been costantly hinted in the OT as guiding one's destiny...more god-like than just an energy field wouldnt you say?

cant agree with that. evil/sith do not hand in hand and neither do peace/jedi. simply because, without the jedi and the sith, there would still be good and evil.
the jedi HELP handle disputes on a large scale. they dont make peace, they just help it along with treaty signing here and some 'agressive negotiations' there. they are not increasing 'good', but simply preventing chaos the best they can. and keep in mind that there were no sith to deal with for over 1000 years, but they still had a job. thus, there is still evil and injustice and they are still needed. the jedi do not tip the scales of the universe in any way at all, they just help keep it all from going to shit. thats balance.
the sith just want to eradicate all opposition, enslave the people, and control everything, and basically turn the galaxy upsid down for his own amusement... thats imbalance.
i guess what im saying is that i dont believe that the jedi and sith are on opposite ends of a scale...or that 'balance' implies a scale at all. the jedi are PART of the balance, and the sith create imbalance. the way to achieve balance is to wipe the sith out forever.
