Anakin was concerned for the health of his pregnant wife, Padm Amidala, and Palpatine planted the idea in Anakin's head that becoming powerful I hate Captain Panaka now. Laying the trap for Luke Skywalker. If Sidious did not create Anakin, how do you think he was born if he did not have a father? In the first chapter of Wild Space, which is between the Battle of Geonosis and the final scenes of AotC, Yoda and Obi-Wan talk about Anakin's attachment to Padme and Yoda tells Obi-Wan to convince Padme to break up with Anakin. What do we know about the Palpatine family and Sheev's life?

Now the validity of Darth Vader #25 aside, theres a chance that Palpatine did create his own child, presumably around the time Anakin had turned to We are not creeps for speculating about the romances of Palpatine. Palpatine tempted Anakin with ways to save loved ones from death, but for that to be effective he must first know of Anakin's vision. After Windu dies, Palpatine further squeezes Anakin and orders him to wipe out the remaining Jedi because they pose a threat. How did he learn of it?
