NERD ALERT!!!
If you don’t like Star Wars, just stop reading right now. I won’t be offended. OK good, now that all the cool kids have left us, we can talk about important stuff.
However you feel about the Star Wars prequels, they really didn’t bring much to table compared to the original trilogy. Or so we thought. There was an interesting article in the NY Daily News that reveals a new theory about the origin of Anakin Skywalker and the role the prequels played in the whole saga.
Basically, the article says that Anakin’s virgin birth may have been triggered by Darth Plagueis the Wise, who had the ability to manipulate life, and his entire being was a ploy by the Sith to destroy the Jedi. It’s definitely possible and fascinating that George Lucas may have intended it to be the big reveal for the prequels, but it’s a bit unlikely considering that it was never explicitly mentioned. Read the article and decide for yourself. Now if you don’t mind, I’m going to look at some boobs and regain my manhood.
