The previous page states a Mark Hamill quote is coming... but the next page doesn't contain any text in the body area. What's up with that?

The page is there on the version I downloaded off the site yesterday. Possibly your version is corrupted or I corrected this mistake in the newer versions.

It may not be just a title, and it may be a decription, but even outside of Catholic doctrine it still simply means clean and doesn't refer to virgin

Outside the Catholic doctrine it is a colloquialism that is taken as meaning "virgin birth". I probably should use the term "virgin birth" so as to leave no doubt to what I am referencing (I believe its still in the book), but "immaculate conception" translates to "conceiving a child without sex" in the popular understanding (with regards to non-Catholicism), even if semantically the definition is technically not that specific.

Anakin wasn't even a virgin birth anyway (Schmi probably wasn't a virgin), he just was concieved without sex (an "undefiled" or "immaculate" conception). But thats the archetype it recalls. In fact not all "immaculate" conceptions in myth are virginal. And in some of them, like some of the Greek ones, they arent even immaculate, the gods actually have physical sex with women to sire a half-mortal son. "Divine conception" is probably a better term to all-encompass this stuff, but people identify meaning better with the term "immaculate conception", at least when it comes to Anakin.
