I'm just saying that parenting isn't a common trait among Sith. They're typically very selfish and cruel, obsessing over power and distrustful of everyone. Not a lot of family tales involving Sith.

All the mental gymnastics are kind of pointless. The only real reason for it is that JJ decided that was how he was going to retcon her origin.
I think it's kind of silly and any number of alternatives would have been better for me. I still like the idea of Satine keeping a child secret from Obi-wan, creating potential for a Kenobi grandchild. Or Ezra and Sabine. Or pretty much any two characters not named Palpatine. Abrams went for too many moments that were cool from the perspective of a 40+ year old who'd lived their entire lives fantasizing about the SW universe, moments that made no sense in the context of a new movie trilogy with new characters. Too much was tied to the original trilogy, and not much really survives even a cursory examination of the plot, themes, events or motivations of the final trilogy or the characters within. That's the main issue I have with episode 9 (and 8 and 7...). But maybe it wasn't ever possible to really do it right. |

If clay didn’t see sex in the movie, it didn’t happen.

Outside of Anakin, we've never heard tale of ANY Sith OR Jedi having sex.
It was a stupid, hamfisted, lazy plot device.

Ranik Solusar, Jedi Master, was the father of Kam Solusar who became a Jedi Knight. Ta'ania was the illegitimate descendant of a Jedi Knight. Margolis Mingla was the daughter of a Jedi Knight. Ki-Adi-Mundi was given permission to marry and have kids (though an exception as his race was near extinction). There was the whole "Children of the Jedi" which has been blown up by Disney. Leia had Anakin, Jaina, and Jacin. (Had Ben Solo in the new universe) Luke and Mara had Ben Skywalker and possibly another kid. Jacen Solo (Jedi/Sith) and Tenel Ka Djo had Allana Solo.

George Lucas sold Lucasfilm because he was tired of being told that he was "wrong" all the time about his movies and stories.
No A-List Director wanted anything to do with the Star Wars prequels or the Star Wars sequels. There is no "right way" to do a Star Wars film, which is why the slate has been wiped clean and Lucasfilm is focusing on TV series, which cost far less than if they spend $500 million on shooting and marketing a film that the majority of the public doesn't like or doesn't respond to positively. It's a No-Win situation. |

https://makingstarwars.net/2020/02/p...ins-backstory/ In the Darth Plagueis novel from around that time it was inferred that she could be a problem for Darth Sidious. After the show was canceled, one of the last Dark Horse Star Wars comics Son of Dathomir hinted at some of this story. In the third issue, Talzin reveals that Sidious betrayed her and that Maul is in fact her son. Long ago, Sidious came to me on Dathomir. We exchanged secret wisdom–mingled Dark Side abilities with Nightsister magicks. He promised to make me his right hand, but instead he stole what was most dear to me… My own flesh and blood. My son! --- Of course, this reveal doesn't make RoS any better (or any worse, for that matter) but it does show that Sith and Dark Siders did have affection for their offspring. |

I don't think there's a huge difference between Dark Side Force Users and Sith in terms of their quest for power, so we'll just agree to disagree. I would also imagine that future Star Wars properties will explore these types of relationships, making this tiny plot point moot. |
