I always saw the Jedi as religious figures, like Priests or Monks, that lead a very specific lifestyle not everyone is cut out for.
And, of course, kids are locked into this lifestyle when they are far too young to make such decisions for themselves. Anakin, at nine years old, was considered “too old” to enter the lifestyle.
The more I think about it, the more Anakin’s “From my point of view, the Jedi are evil!” makes sense.
wow, never thought about that. But I can see how it might be easier if it's all you've ever known
I wonder if Vader talked to the younglings before killing them.
“If you become Jedi, you will live your whole lives without ever falling in love, without having children, without getting laid[*], and without any personal possessions other than your lightsaber. Trust me, this is better for you.”
[*] Note: Reportedly, Jedi are allowed to have sex, but not to conceive children. It is established that accidental pregnancies can happen, even to Jedi, so if Jedi are forbidden to conceive children then they clearly must not be told to rely on fallible birth control. Therefore we can only conclude that the sex that Jedi are permitted to have consists of pedophilia, necrophilia, bestiality, and homosexuality. (And no, I'm not drawing a moral equivalence between homosexuality and the others.)
How do you even define bestiality in a universe with multiple sentient species? Is getting it on with a Twilek bestiality or just getting it on with a Ronto?
