He was seen by the council because Qui Gon believed he was the prophesied one and had the midi chlorians blood test.
I think my post already explains why Simi might have said it that way. You’re not wrong that she can’t trace it back to a person. There might be multiple possible fathers or gaps in her memory. People don’t always answer with full honesty especially with difficult topics, and since she raised anikin herself, it’s true enough that there was no father.
“I can’t explain it.” Implies one thing to you, but a different thing to me.
To me, virgin birth is so unlikely that unless they went more in depth into it, I wouldn’t believe that happened based solely on what she said to Qui-Gon.
If you look it up in the wiki, it confirms your point of view. So if you want to be right, you are right.
I’m saying as someone who was watching the phantom menace with only the first three original films and maybe some expanded universe novels as well, Virgin birth has never come up, although we have heard about how the force connects all living things and extends influence over objects and predicting the future.
In this universe it still seems more likely to me that it was not virgin birth based solely on this one scene. Especially when the other interpretation springs to mind so easily. Extraordinary claims need extraordinary evidence.
It’s not about being right to me, I already know that the majority of people agree with me, and I really don’t care about Star Wars as a franchise in the first place.
I was curious about the argument so I did my own researching and came to my own conclusion. Truly, I think that phrasing argument should have convinced you.
At this point, I just want you to either refute my phrasing argument somehow or change your own mind. Doing neither is frustrating to me because it reflects the stubbornness of people that refuse to change their mind even when presented with strong evidence they cannot refute.
But it’s cool, we can agree to disagree if you really want to, I’m an annoyingly stubborn person myself but this is an argument that I don’t care about even a little.

Why is virgin birth so unlikely to you in the world of magic space knights (and all the other wacky shit)?
Let me make it clearer for you, I think this will change your mind.
“There was no father” vs “There is no father”
It doesn’t make sense to use the past tense unless she’s referring to the past (in?)action of conception. Because there is still no father.
