For me it would be the prequel doctrine on attachment I disagree with. Because Jedi had families and children in Star Wars lore before the prequels. Just like how the chosen one thing was made up and so was midichlorians.
To get the Jedi celibacy thing you have to go all the way back to discarded script drafts for the original film, the son of the suns prophecy for the chosen one thing. Midichlorians came from nowhere.
- It isn’t fair to expect Lucas to be beholden to other people’s writings for his own universe
- Midi-chlorians were also based on ideas from older drafts
Which ideas and drafts were those?
The second draft of ANH mentions that the first Jedi knew that anyone could use the Force, but he only chose his children to become Jedi because he was worried about people who are weaker in the Force having an easier chance at being seduced by the dark side. The prequel Jedi in Lucas’s vision basically did the same thing, except midi-chlorian counts take the place of the family connection
