  • If you look it up in the wiki, it confirms your point of view. So if you want to be right, you are right.

    I’m saying as someone who was watching the phantom menace with only the first three original films and maybe some expanded universe novels as well, Virgin birth has never come up, although we have heard about how the force connects all living things and extends influence over objects and predicting the future.

    In this universe it still seems more likely to me that it was not virgin birth based solely on this one scene. Especially when the other interpretation springs to mind so easily. Extraordinary claims need extraordinary evidence.




  • He was seen by the council because Qui Gon believed he was the prophesied one and had the midi chlorians blood test.

    I think my post already explains why Simi might have said it that way. You’re not wrong that she can’t trace it back to a person. There might be multiple possible fathers or gaps in her memory. People don’t always answer with full honesty especially with difficult topics, and since she raised anikin herself, it’s true enough that there was no father.

    “I can’t explain it.” Implies one thing to you, but a different thing to me.

    To me, virgin birth is so unlikely that unless they went more in depth into it, I wouldn’t believe that happened based solely on what she said to Qui-Gon.




  • So this is my interpretation. It still makes sense if there was no father who stuck around. She doesn’t know who the father was. The father was never part of her or Anakin’s life, so she can’t explain who the father is.

    The explanation that it was a virgin birth is a possible interpretation, but when I saw the movie that didn’t occur to me. I thought she was like all the other single mothers who’ve had to raise a kid without a father.

    She is also a slave and we don’t know a lot about her history. It might be that Anakin’s mother had some history she didn’t want to share.
