The celibate monk thing goes back to the 1974 screenplay but was dropped in the actual movies and the EU. Only to be recanonized contexualized in the prequel. Like midi clorians being too similar to the Kaiburr Crystal as a way to describe the force. its something that should have not been revisited.

My opinion.

The weird thing is, I recall an interview from the early 2000’s where George stated that Jedi actually aren’t technically celibate. They’re just not allowed to have emotional relationships, but it’s technically okay for them to have sex. Which is weirder to me. I need to find where he said that.

Sounds like a post hoc justification to keep the Jedi “cool”. Otherwise, Padme being pregnant with Anakin’s kids wouldn’t be this terrible secret they’d have to keep from the Council. They could explain it away as the result of a one-night stand.
