Or Plagueis did.
Sidious creating Anakin might have been a thing in an early draft of ROTS, but I'm glad it was left out of the film because imo it conflicts with the intent of TPM.
What was Palpatine's original plan for Naboo?

If Plagueis did, then that does not preclude Sidious from knowing about it. That's why I said "had a hand in," like he was Plagueis's Igor. How else could he insinuate the conception, if he wasn't somehow privy to it?
True. But I said the knowledge wasn't precluded, not that it was necessitated.
The idea that Palpatine, Plageius, or anyone else used the Dark side to create Anakin has been thoroughly and officially debunked by Lucasfilm.
Luke managed to locate Han and Leia in Cloud City without ever having been there himself and without specific knowledge that they were even there. Luke was guided by his visions of the future that he had experienced through the Force. Even if Luke had searched Alliance databases for a city in the clouds, his knowledge of what to search for came from the Force. Sidious was even more powerful than Luke. We cannot conclude that it would be impossible for Sidious to locate Anakin using visions experienced through the Force, given what we know of canonically-established Force-abilities.

Well, in that case, there you go!
Where? IIRC it was allegedly once stated outright in an officially licensed product, though (a) that was possibly before Disney and (b) it was in a low-profile source that no one really cared about AFAIK.

Whoever did, then.
Charles Soule's Darth Vader comic contained a panel implying that Palpatine may have been involved in Anakin's conception, but both he and Star Wars Story Group member Matt Martin almost immediately stated that the comic's imagery was a manifestation of Anakin's fears and nothing more.
Lucasfilm Writer Confirms Palpatine Is Not Anakin's Father
The final installment of the Skywalker Saga, The Rise of Skywalker, has fans questioning many things and old topics bubbling up to the surface. Beware of spoilers ahead as we discuss Anakin's father.
So how do Anakin's fears debunk anything?

The comic panel is a manifestation of Anakin's fear that Palpatine had a hand in his conception, not a Canonical confirmation or statement that Palpatine had a hand in Anakin's conception.
Per that article:

Per that article:
"Not a canonical confirmation" is not the same thing as "debunked".
And nothing is said of Plagueis at all!
Anakin having a fear that Palpatine created him is consistent with any of the following scenarios:
1)Palpatine created him
2)Plagueis created him ( after studying Osha? )
3)someone else created him ( if that can be made to work given the timeline of the Banite Sith )
4)the Force created him

Bringing balance to the force means 2 Sith and 2 Jedi.
Besides, that was Anikan living up to prophecy, and would have happened even if Sheev was holidaying on Canto Bight, and didn't contribute an ounce of evil to the little shit's upbringing.

No, it doesn't.
Bringing balance to the Force means the total destruction of the Sith.
