So, unless those freaky Midiclorian alien beings somehow inseminated Shmi Skywalker with their God-like alien-microbe sperm, and instead just induced pregnancy, Anakin would technically be a clone of his mother. I mean, that's just how nature WORKS. Without a secondary DNA donor to mix things up, Ani would have to be genetically identical to his mother, his birth a form of mammalian parthenogenesis. Only, you know, developed as a male in the womb.

So, if Vader was half alien, that would explain how powerful he was, and his descendants are.

But if he was a naturally occurring clone of some kind, then wouldn't that mean Shmi was also Force sensitive?

Or was he some other, third option? Like, a parasitic humanoid that developed like a "normal" human fetus, but was completely unrelated to his mother, implanted by "the Force"..? Did somebody roofie Shmi and rape her?

I'm pretty sure this was all hand-waved away as a "miracle of the Force" in the movies, but I'm genuinely curious where the hell Vader actually came from!
