Definitely. A lot of Yoda’s teachings are about being afraid which leads to poor decisions. Fear led him into the path of Vader who was waiting to twist his mind, and letting Han die might have prevented it. It’s not “if you get married you’ll be afraid to be alone, so never get married or have attachment to anybody, and don’t feel anything for your family either”. If anything Anakin’s stupid love taboo plot cheapens Luke’s arc because it’s compassion over fear that saves the day. Unfortunately now the Jedi Order looks like a real life cult that takes kids and teaches them to forget their parents.
