If thereās one concept regarding Anakin that Iād love to see in Star Warsābut haven't really seen much of, whether in fandom or canonāitās his relationship with the Force. After all, technically, the Force "fathered" him alongside Shmi; it created him and placed him in her womb.
Iāve always interpreted the Forceāat least for the Jediāas something very abstract; itās not a saint, an *orisha*, or a god, but an abstract concept present in all living beings. I won't get too deep into that, but to get straight to the point: while everyone theoretically has a connection to the Force, Anakinās is different. He is the child of the Force; he was created by it. I like to imagine the Force literally getting hands-on and making Anakināmuch like Hippolyta sculpted a girl (Diana) out of clay and sand from the shores of Themyscira, and the gods breathed life into her. I like to picture the Force sculpting Anakin and placing him in Shmiās womb. He ought to have a special bond with it; after all, it created himāthe Force is his other mother.
Itās a concept I don't see explored much, but one Iād love to witness: that mother-son dynamic between Anakin and the Force. Just imagine baby Anakin back on Tatooine, unexpectedly protected by absurd, inexplicable circumstances. How do you explain a chubby, giggly baby with arms and legs so cute you just want to nibble them, even when Shmi didn't have enough milk to feed him because they were starving? How do you explain what stopped baby Anakinājust learning to crawlāfrom falling into a ditch? Or why animals never attack him?
Itās just a silly little concept I wish were explored moreāthe Force acting like a mother hen to Anakin, whether heās on Tatooine or...
