HUFFPOST: Marvel’s ‘Darth Vader’ Comic Finale Reveals The Identity Of Anakin Skywalker’s Father
- Thread starter Lunar Wolf
- Start date
This was a hugely popular piece of theorycraft for 19 years, anyway. From the moment Shmi says there was no father there was no going back from the stupid. Full sail ahead; this is dumb but it makes enough sense to click with the rest of the idiocy.
It's hinted at in Episode III and then, apparently, was confirmed in one of the old EU novels. This, while not 100% confirming it, VERY heavily implies it to be the case in the new canon.
I'm very confused. She's already pregnant. So is Sidious/plageius not doing anything other than manipulating the unborn child? So they're not the father, then.
This adds nothing. All it does is take away from Anakin as a character, reducing his choices down to pre-determined destiny beyond his control rather than the choices of who he was a person.
Him turning to the dark side wasn't a result of the influences around him and the consequences of his actions shaping his views. No, it was pre-ordained and planned from the start.
EDIT: Can't characters just be their own person anymore? Are we gonna find out that Steve Rogers isn't a good person because he's just a good person but because he was specially created by Shield to be a nice person?

1. Palpatine pretty much says this in the prequels.
2. This confirms nothing. Vader's having a trippy force vision in some weird dimensional place and everthing he sees there is metaphorical/not meant to be taken literally.
That said, I think this is another nod toward the idea rather than an outright confirmation. This will be one of those things that will always be left purposefully ambiguous.
Also, you all should read that Vader run. Absolutely incredible stuff.

It doesn't look like he impregnated anyone, but rather corrupted an unborn child in the womb? Thread title is inaccurate! Fake news!
And, this...
And, this...
sounds AWFUL. Lmao.
1/20 chance that Sheev is the father: https://www.resetera.com/threads/woman-who-had-sex-with-20-ghosts-is-now-engaged-to-a-spirit.77956/
Shmiive. Search your schedule. You know it to be true.
Oh I'm afraid this seed will be quite operational when your cycle arrives.
Jar Jar.
Midichlorian.
Can someone please elaborate more on the hints that were provided in the prequel?
I saw all episodes but I can't believe I missed this.

Prequels hint towards this.
Its stupid, but its clearly what Lucas wanted.
I hate that in this large galaxy everything seems to revolve around 1 family and small group of people.

Yeah, I thought this was very heavily implied in Ep III.
Ok so say he instead corrupted an unborn, isn't that really stupid?
Didn't Anakin almost never get found on Tatooine? And it was incredible chance Qui Gon found him at all?
And didn't he and Qui Gon almost die a dozen times (including at the hands of Darth Maul, who Sidious SENT)?
And didn't the Jedi almost refuse to train Anakin because he was too old because he was on a backwater planet for so long (which again, what was Sidious planning here)?
I guess you just answer "the Force" to all these questions which isn't very narratively interesting or satisfying.

Palpatine being directly tied to Anakin's creation has always been heavily implied.
Plagueis was Palpatine's master. The idea was that Plagueis discovered how, taught Palpatine, then Palpatine killed him and actually did it.
Last I heard she called it off with the spirit fiance
This...
...is this...
...h-how the world ends...?
This is just another wonderfully stupid ingredient to what is already an immensely fucking dumb universe.
Papa Sheev, ya'll.
Papa Sheev, ya'll.
Why create him and then have him be raised by a random on Tatooine and then have him trained by the Jedi? All part of the plan?
Will this panel join the ranks of NormanOsbornsOFace.jpg? I'm thinking that it will.https://www.huffingtonpost.com/entr...-skywalker-father_us_5c1fd41be4b05c88b6f9e7de
Congratulations, Darth Sidious. You are the father!!!!
If it was, it worked out prettttyyyy well since they destroyed the Jedi order.
