“I don’t know who the father is” is really easy explanation if the father is an unknown person. Or “his father wasn’t around and I raised him myself”. Or maybe “I don’t want to get into it” if it was an unwilling pregnancy related to her status as a slave
“I can’t explain it” implies she can’t trace it back to a person (or group of people) at all.
Anakin not having a biological father is a major factor in the council seeing him at all despite his being already “too old” for training according to Yoda. If he weren’t unique the council wouldn’t have wasted their time with him and just rejected a meeting all together.
He was seen by the council because Qui Gon believed he was the prophesied one and had the midi chlorians blood test.
I think my post already explains why Simi might have said it that way. You’re not wrong that she can’t trace it back to a person. There might be multiple possible fathers or gaps in her memory. People don’t always answer with full honesty especially with difficult topics, and since she raised anikin herself, it’s true enough that there was no father.
“I can’t explain it.” Implies one thing to you, but a different thing to me.
To me, virgin birth is so unlikely that unless they went more in depth into it, I wouldn’t believe that happened based solely on what she said to Qui-Gon.
Then why did she say “I can’t explain it.”?
