When I had heard about Chris Gore's "leaking" of episode 3, I had thought he was saying "The Force is being made tangible- in the form of a woman." No, it wasn't that. But what they did is basically spit on established Lucas lore. Anakin is no longer a Christ-like miracle child, these lesbian witches were giving birth through Force Conception at will a hundred years before.
The idea Anakin was born from the force was always pretty dumb from the beginning. Plus there's no indication in the show that Palpatine isn't just making that up to entice Anakin. They never actually show this 'power.'
To be extra cynical about that, though… She wouldn’t be the first woman in history to claim that as an easy hand wave (in order to avoid tricky questions), lol…
Do I think Lucas probably meant it sincerely? Sure. But in the real world, women do say that sort of thing not uncommonly…

Anakin's mother is the one who said that there was no father.

Nothing in the depiction of the character supports her doing anything but telling the truth about this.
Women have been pulling that trick for thousands of years.
A self destructive child of a single mom? Never seen that before.
