I just wanted to mention that one scene I thought was amazingly done is the one where Padme and Anakin are talking on the Veranda before he heads to Mustafar and post Youngling slaughter...
Anakin walks in and out of the shadows that are there...which echoes his plunging in to the dark side with his only tether to the light being his wife....who is standing on his right side which is where the light is coming from. Its well done and something I didn't see the first or second times I saw it...
So what do you think? Who is Anakin's "father", is it Palpatine or Plagus? Or is it neither and just one of those mysteries we will never know, like the name of Yoda's species.
=================
While Lucas maintains that Anakin's conception parallels Biblical lore, he also says that the real story to Anakin's conception is ultimately left up to the audience. (Rolling Stone interview) "I" choose to believe that it was a miraculous conception, and that Anakin could've ended up on either side -- that his choices made him into what he became, not some pre-ordained destiny. But, that's just my opinion!
Funny, you talk about self-fulfilling prophecies, but all these are not of that kind.
A self fullfilling prophecy is like saying when it rains, I prophecise we shall become wet or something like that.
The fact Anakin, in his quest to find the power to save Padmé, becomes the one who actually kills Padmé is not a SFP. It's mostly a tragic aspect.
If Plagueis is indeed responsible for Anakin's birth, or Sidious is, the fact that, although Anakin established the Sith's rule and purge of the Jedi, he also is the single factor in destroying the Sith, as prophecised, is not a self-fulfilling prophecy.
SFP's have that "Yeah well duh..." aspect. The Jedi prophecy, Anakin's destiny, both are not.
So despite all those degrees, all barking up the wrong tree.
I think they should reveal the AT-TE, Turbo Tank, and the Tank Droid.
