The movie itself! Anakin, a dude who had no physical father but was conceived via the Force, is told a creepy story by Palpatine during that weird water opera thing they go to. During that scene Palpatine tells Anakin Darth Plagius was able to influence midachlorians to create life (Palpatine turns to look at Anakin when he says "create life",) all while they watch a giant watery orb has thing have wriggly bulb headed worm things swim around inside of it.

The point of the scene was Ol' Palp putting out the bait to bring Anakin to the Dark Side to save his wife while covertly being smug about killing his master, but I remember watching that scene in the theater and going "Holy shit, the Jedi were fucked from the start! Anakin was the result of a Sith experiment!" The One who was to bring Balance to the Force was always a Sith weapon to kill Jedi.
