Did the anti-Christ save the Galaxy?

[genius]

Since Vader's father was a Sith, and he was "the chosen one," does that make him the anti-Christ and does it mean, that when he eliminates the dark side, the universe is saved by the anti-Christ?

1. Not exactly...

Vaders' father wasn't a Sith. Vader's father was the Force itself. Vader existed to fulfill a prophecy of a "chosen one" bringing "balance to the force".

Unfortunately for the Jedi, with all their wisdom they couldn't figure out that "balance" is not what you want when there are thousands of Light side jedi and one to two Dark jedi.

As far as Vader being the anti-Christ, I suppose to a certain extent you could draw that conclusion. However the anti-Christ (according to el Bible) has far different motives and agendas.

2. Vader's father was the Sith Lord Sidious killed.

I think it is interesting that Anakin followed the guy who killed his father and then later killed him to save his son.

3. I don't know where you're getting it from...

that Darth Plagueus was Anakin's father. I didn't get that from either the movie or the book.

4. I didn't get that either

They were fairly clear in Episode 1 that Anakin was created by the Force, to fulfill the prophecy.

6. The only thing that was clear in I was that the mother didn't know

how she got pregnant. Sidious explained the how to Anakin.

5. Go back and watch the movie again. It is clear from what Sidious said

that Anakin's father was Sidious. That's how come Anakin's mother hadn't known what happened to her. Everyone in our movie theater picked up on that and was talking about it afterwards.

7. Sidiuous manipulated the Force

to result in Anakin's birth. He didn't go out and bang Anakin's mother.

9. Again, I am just not seeing it...

I can still picture it in my mind (it was less than 12 hours ago) and I see Anakin and Palpatine sitting in the "opera" booth. Palpatine tells Anakin about Plagueus and thats pretty much it. There was no mention of him having a kid......


Although... now that you mention it......


I see what you are saying. When he mentions that Plagueus was able to create life he gave a sidelong glance to Anakin...

Hrrrmm... interesting, I had not considered that. You may in fact be a genius, genius. :D

10. Having only seen the movie once...

I am going on repeated reading of the novelization. It goes into much more detail on character motivations and it says NOTHING about Sidious either siring ANakin or manipulating the Force in some way to ensure his birth.

8. Jeez. Nice spoiler.
