How Was Anakin Skywalker Created? George Lucas Has 3 Theories

George Lucas has three Star Wars theories to explain how Anakin Skywalker was created. While Star Wars: Episode I – The Phantom Menace was marketed as the movie that would reveal Darth Vader’s origin story, the film ended up creating new questions regarding Luke and Leia’s father. The Phantom Menace revealed a new member of the Skywalker family tree, Anakin’s mother Shmi Skywalker, yet it also established that Anakin did not have a father. From then on, who or what was behind Anakin Skywalker’s birth became one of Star Wars’ biggest unanswered mysteries, especially when considering the Chosen One prophecy.
