I'm not sure if this has ever been discussed here before, but as I was riding up to Illinois today with a friend of mine who's a stormtrooper in the 501st, we were talking about - Star Wars - of course.
He had mentioned that someone posted this theory on the MWG (Midwest Garrison) board in the members only forum. The more we talked about it, the more it made perfect sense so I thought I'd post it here to see what others think about it:
(Note, I'm doing my best to remember the entire thing. My friend (TK-118) is typing it all out for me tomorrow so parts of this might be edited to ensure the accuracy of the theory)

It's known that Palpatine has cloning facilities on Byss and Camino, this is documented in the films as well as the books. It's also known that Palpatine has cloned himself.
Anakin has no father, this is stated in the film when Shmi is talking to Qui-Gon. Palpatine, atleast until Anakin becomes Vader, is the 'most powerful' in the galaxy.
Who's to say that Palpatine hasn't laid out exact plans long before his ultimate rise to power by having Shmi impregnated with his own clone?
Since Shmi is a slave on Tatooine and in Hutt controlled territory, it wouldn't be hard at all to keep tabs on young Anakin Skywalker. The Hutts are in deep with the Imperials (or rising Imperial's if you will).
It could conceivably have been arranged that Anakin would be 'discovered' by Qui-Gon, set up so that Anakin would eventually win the race and be taken off the planet to learn the ways of the Jedi; thereby eliminating the need of having to train the boy in the ways of the force himself.
As training went on Anakin would be 'knocked down' repeatedly by his Master(s); which would slowly build up the anger and resentment: IE: Obi Wan putting Anakin in his place when en route (or when they are at) Padme's to become her escorts for a short time.
It also could have been 'arranged' to have Shmi abducted by the Tusken Raiders, knowing that Anakin was off doing something else at the time, and that she would die. The news, of course, would get back to Anakin (as it did) and he'd go off to find her.
Finding his mother dead, pushes him further along the path of the Dark Side ( as we saw in the film).
----
Palpatine continually strokes Anakin's ego during the films, making himself look better than Yoda and the Jedi Council in the young man's eyes. A few well placed words here and there has Anakin seeing things in a whole new light.
Episode III will set off the rest of the events that lead up to the complete turning to the Dark Side, etc etc ....

Please do note that this is a basic rough outline of sorts of the theory we discussed earlier today. (Forgive me, its been a really rough past five weeks). I will edit it in a day or two so that its stated properly, but this was the basic idea behind it.
I'm just curious as to what others think about it.
