Revenge of the unlikely plots

A forum poster argues:

This infamous Dark Lord of the Sith supposedly gained such an insight into the Force that he was actually able to influence the midichlorians to create life. Anakin becomes interested in this story after his haunting dreams of Padme’s death – perhaps this time he could prevent her death, unlike his mother’s. So, Palpatine says that Plagueis was able to cause the midichlorians to create life. Now, the spoiler goes on to talk about Anakin's dreams, but I believe that this relates DIRECTLY to the birth of Anakin, who HAD NO FATHER. quote:Anakin asks what happened to Plagueis in the story. Palpatine says that he was murdered by his apprentice as soon as he discovered the same power. Still thinking about Padme, Anakin asks “Would it be possible to learn this secret in some way?”Here Palpatine tells Anakin that Plagueis' apprentice murdered Plagueis "as soon as he discovered the same power"IT'S AS PLAIN AS THE NOSE ON MY VIRTUAL FACE!!!! Palpatine is EXTREMELY old, so old that HE was in fact Darth Plagueis' apprentice!! And it was PALPATINE who learned how to cause the midichlorians to create life, just like his OLD MASTER!!! So, logically, PALPATINE IS ANAKIN'S FATHER!! He manipulated the midichlorians to create Anakin in order to fulfill the prophecy, and complete his own vision of galactic rule. This is why Palpatine is so interested in Anakin. He is Anakin's "father". This resonates with the Vader/Luke father/son theme.

My view?

Darth Plagius is indeed Palpatine's master, who he did murder, and Plagius may have discovered this power but Palpatine did not create Anakin. He was also bound to wait for the situation and Anakin's birth before he could put his plans into operation. Both he and the Jedi were waiting for the chosed one - after all, the prophesy speaks of balance - which would theoretically mean the Sith either become as powerful as the Jedi or eclipse it, as the Jedi have eclipsed the Sith for generations.

It is entriely possible for Palpatine to be Plagius' apprentice - in Dark Empire we learnt that Palpatine had mastered the art of transferring his spirit into clone bodies, which could also explain his knowledge of Kamino and the strength of cloning. The story of manipulating the midichlorians is used by Palpatine to persuade Anakin that by turning to the Dark side he can save Padme - but this turns out to be a lie to corrupt Anakin finally.
