exactly... if this was just to coerce Anakin then Lucas is stupid. And I don't believe he is.
As I said, Anakin doesn't want to be able to create life, he wants to save it. Which leads me to believe Palpatine is the father. There is NO other reason in my mind to bring this up other than to imply this.
If I'm wrong then it's just terribly written.
