Yet another "Anakin's origin" thread: Official word from Lucas (apparently)
First of all, apologies for starting yet another thread with that theme, but I really didn't want to tack this onto the end of five pages of heated discussion...

Anyone have that issue of Rolling Stone and can confirm if this is actually said by Lucas or by the interviewer?
"Now there's a hint in the movie that there was a Sith lord who had the power to create life. But it's left unsaid: Is Anakin a product of a super-Sith who influenced the midichlorians to create him, or is he simply created by the midichlorians to bring forth a prophecy, or was he created by the Force through the midichlorians? It's left up to the audience to decide. How he was born ultimately has no relationship to how he dies, because in the end, the prophecy is true: Balance comes back to the Force."
In other words, we can debate until the cows come home, it's up to our personal point of view. Thanks, George. 😠
