Dr. McCoy of course. Canon Star Wars/Trek crossover confirmed.
As another BTS tweet pointed out, the smoking-gun illustration, which is already very figurative, has Palpatine with an extremely-pregnant Shmi. Like, about to give birth.
Traditionally, conception occurs well before the moment prior to birth. Ergo, the drawing is not showing Palpatine inducing Anakin’s creation.
Marvel's Darth Vader #25 says "hello!"
You're adorable.
Then what, oh pray tell, is it supposed to represent, oh he who knows all?
Vader's fears.
And I'm not the "know-it-all" here.
That, as already pointed out, would be one Matt Martin (aka Rebels' Mart Mattin), as well as other Lucasfilm Story Group members who have stated that there is no part of current Canon that states that Palpatine had anything at all to do with Anakin's birth and have also stated that people have misinterpreted that comic panel.
No it doesn't. Anyways in that frame she's already pregnant.
Once it is said someplace other than a non-canonical tweet, I'll agree with you. I don't believe in canonical merit of Twitter.
Uh that was a member of Story Group, the people who control the canon. The same people you stated earlier would have approved it that made it canon.
Now you're contradicting yourself.
Nope. It's the story group that's contradicting itself.
No it isn't. It's a memeber of the story group clarifying a confusing image.
Now you're moving goal posts.
So the 1-2 PT track record is now the same for the ST.
Making halfway decent SW shouldn't be this hard.
Bingo.
One of the many reasons the Story Group exists is to clarify what is and isn't part of the Canon and what the Canon actually says, and that's exactly what Matt Martin did with that tweet.
He's also not the only person from the Story Group who has unequivocally said that Palpatine had nothing to do with Anakin's creation.
No. I'm going by what was canonically presented on the page. I have not budged from that stance. And I wont. It's the story group that moves goalposts by presenting conflicting views.
Tweets from the story group are as canonical as the EU was and I never considered any of that as canon either. Don't tell me that you actually believe if someone came up with a story for the screen somebody's going to say, "oh wait, we can't do that because the story group sent out a tweet"? Ridiculous.
The first encounter we have with Luke has him nearly getting murdered and having to be saved.
Do you need the actual writer of the comic to tell you that Palpatine isn't involved with his creation?
I'm not against them having it be true in future sources. I'm against saying he is right now in the present, be he isn't.
I never said he was the father! I agreed with the exact opposite of that.
You know what I mean, involved with his creation.
Which he was. Canonically.
