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.'
And although James Luceno is/ was a great SW writer, I thought “Darth Plagueis” was pretty bad for its own retcons and making the “Anakin is Jesus” a real thing.

I never liked it (and I liked Eps II & III).
