Hmm. That's kind irritating. I know that one of the official releases for a SW game makes an allusion about that scene. Oh, and I'm talking about the idea of either Palpatine's or Plague-as (is that how you spell it?) being Anakin's father. I mean how much more implied subtext do we need.

Palpatine: He was so powerful that he could create life from the force.

Or something to that effect.

You know that throws a whole new angle on the Palpatine and Vader relationship *winces* Skywalkers and their habits of killing their father figures (or causing their death in one way or another.)
