== Darth Maul is Emperor Palpatine's clone. ==

== Midichlorians are a species of microscopic Mushi that allow manipulation of the [[Life Stream]]. ==

 

== There was no Darth Maul. ==

 

This is why, for example, force ability can be passed to children. Then there's the "Midichlorian Count" thing. A body's Midichlorian System can be stronger/weaker innately, just as different people have stronger/weaker eyesight. Or it can be strengthened with use, like a muscle, which is why trained force-users are so strong, they exercise and hone their Midichlorian System until they can use lots of Force at one time.

I know this theory sounds somewhat off because Spaceballs itself was a parody of the ''original'' three Star Wars movies (and their merchandising), but considering the storyline, there are some striking resemblances to ''Episode 1: The Phantom Menace''. '''Both''' films begin with an idyllic world of peaceful people who is attacked by bureaucratic morons with superior techology. Eventually, the heroes of the film enter the scene and rescue an important female member of the Royalty of the attacked planet from the attackers who want to capture her. However, they are forced to ditch on a desert planet, where they get some help from the natural inhabitants. Then, after a short visit to the home planet of the [[Big Bad]], they return to the princess' planet just in time to save it from the attackers. If you consider all this, it's not completely out of the realm of possibility that George Lucas got some inspiration from the parody.

== The bad guys are the "Trade Federation" and they are repeatedly referred to as "[[The Federation]]." ==

Shmi was a slave. Its possible that she was raped/was with someone who she would never would want to tell people about, so told people that he was a virgin birth.

** Or she just wasn't being literal. One possible translation is: "You're kidding, right? I had the kid inside me for ''nine freakin' months''. His dad took off\was a rapist. Forget him. That kid's mine."

** [[Luke, I Am Your Father|Darth Maul]]

* Or Anakin's father was a powerful force user who erased Shmi's memory.

* EU says that Darth Plagus, Sidious's master, used midi-chlorians to create Anakin as the ultimate Sith. And I guess it worked.

== Shmi is the most powerful, force-sensitive being in the galaxy history. ==

* That would an extremely specific prejudice on the part of the Jedi.

* Furthermore, there are plenty of counterexamples in the [[Expanded Universe]]. Or even if you're a movie purist... remember [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Jocasta_Nu that old lady in the library]?

 

== Nothing in Star Wars happens after a shot in the end of the Senate scene. ==

 

== Obi-Wan knew about the decoy Queen all along. ==
