Shmi informs Qui-Gon that Anakin has no father, leading Qui-Gon to suggest that Anakin is a product of midi-chlorians (Force-imparting microorganisms). As the film progresses, Anakin leaves Tatooine to begin his Jedi training.
According to Shmi Skywalker, “There was no father. I carried him, I gave birth, I raised him, I can't explain what happened.” Even in the world of Star Wars, a cosmic variation on a "virgin birth" is a major development, and Qui-Gon knew to bring the boy back to the cradle of the Jedi.
Rey is Anakin's half sister, and Palpatines relations to Rey through the force. Rey is a genetic experiment/force experiment of immaculate conception orchestrated by palpatine. So Rey is Palpatines daughter or grand daughter, in a metaphorical sense. The same way Anakin is Palpatines son through the force.
Qui-Gon found Anakin as a boy on Tatooine, freed him from slavery, and set him on the path to becoming a Jedi. It is unlikely that he is Anakin's father as it wouldn't particularly make sense in the movie, but that hasn't stopped fans from speculating about it for years.
Palpatine is not Anakin's father in either Canon or Legends. In Legends, Plagueis and Palpatine tried to manipulate the force for their own desires but the Force didn't like that and so it retaliated and created Anakin, the Chosen One.
What if Luke JOINED Vader When He Said I AM YOUR FATHER? (AI GENERATED)
Is Anakin the grandfather of KYLO Ren?
Though initially trained as a Jedi by his uncle Luke Skywalker, Ben was seduced to the dark side of the Force by Supreme Leader Snoke, and aspires to be as powerful as his grandfather, the Sith Lord Darth Vader / Anakin Skywalker.
Kylo Ren (Adam Driver) was introduced as a knock-off Darth Vader in Star Wars: The Force Awakens, with good reason—he's Anakin's grandson. Similar to his grandfather, Ben Solo was once seduced by the dark side and goes on to wreak havoc in the galaxy.
Although Rey is also strong with force, she doesn't compare to Anakin's pure strength with the force and his connection, being created by the Force itself. Even in the movies, comics, and shows we see Anakin accomplish greater feats of strength that Rey was years away from learning.
But if Palpatine essentially fathered Anakin through the Force, the Emperor would be the great-grandfather of Kylo Ren and the grandfather of Rey, making the pair first cousins once removed.
Han Solo marries Princess Leia and they have three children: twins named Jacen and Jaina, and a younger son named Anakin. Luke reestablishes the Jedi Order, marries a non-movie (but fan favorite) redheaded Force-wielder named Mara Jade, and they have a son, Ben Skywalker (named in honor of Obi-Wan “Ben” Kenobi).
Kylo and Rey (Daisy Ridley) also blasted the Imperial Crusier open trying to Force pull the Lightsaber away from each other, so clearly, Kylo Ren is an extremely strong Force-wielder. Nonetheless, it can be said that Darth Vader is the more powerful master of the Force for one key reason: his temperament.
Anakin Skywalker may have been a great Jedi before turning to the dark side, but the most powerful Jedi in Star Wars was his Padawan, Ahsoka Tano. Despite being the Chosen One, Anakin Skywalker was not the most powerful Jedi in Star Wars, as that honor goes to Ahsoka Tano.
With the release of The Rise of Skywalker this debate can finally be put to rest. The two duel on the ruins of the Second Death Star and its pretty clear that Kylo is the more powerful of the two. Rey is soundly defeated by Kylo who appears to be significantly more powerful than Rey.
With Anakin's mother dead, his padawan Ahsoka estranged and his faith in Obi-Wan and the rest of the Jedi council fading, Padmé was all he had left by the climax of Revenge of the Sith. By eliminating her, Palpatine would be the only one left for Anakin to turn to and therefore would have complete control over him.
Kylo Ren was always obsessed with his grandfather. He didn't learn he was the grandson of Darth Vader until he was a teenager, when a recording from Bail Organa - intended to be a private message for Leia - was shared with the entire galaxy.
Despite seeing Vader as an idol, Kylo conveniently ignored his grandfather's redemption. He was well aware of what happened, and it's likely Luke himself who told Ben about the events of Star Wars: Return of the Jedi.
Anakin Skywalker never knew Padmé was pregnant with twins, and he believed his child had died with his wife. He had no idea Padmé had given birth before she died, still less that the Jedi had spirited the children away and hidden them.
History. Owen Lars was a young adult when his father Cliegg married Shmi Skywalker, a Mos Espa slave he'd purchased and then freed. After Tusken Raiders kidnapped Owen's stepmother, a Jedi Padawan arrived in search of Shmi. This was Shmi's son Anakin, the stepbrother Owen had wondered if he'd ever meet.
Having revealed that he used to be a Jedi Padawan under Luke Skywalker, Ben Solo changed his name to Kylo Ren in order to escape his lineage after turning to the dark side.
