Var Darth Sidious medveten om Anakin innan Jedi plockade upp honom?

nr.

Från sammanfattningen av Star Wars: Darth Plagueis roman på Wookeepedia:

As the novel comes to a close during the events of The Phantom Menace, Sidious and Plagueis learn that a young boy named Anakin Skywalker, a former slave found by Qui-Gon Jinn on Tatooine, had been born of the Force. They discern that this is most likely due to Plagueis's experiment of creating life through the Force that he had commenced about a decade earlier.
