Jedi being monks and taking them as children so they don't have attachments isn't really that bad, because it is suppose to show that they are out of touch in the PT, and by Luke/Leia growing up in normal families and having the ability to fall in love and have children, it contrasts well as to why they turned out normal and saved the galaxy.
You guys have to remember that the PT in some ways has to contrast the OT, and the OT has to look better in that sense. The Jedi Order are suppose to be alittle out of sync with the republic during the PT, thats is their flaw, they never changed, and all of their jedi just became robots, and their star jedi who wasn't trained as a kid ran amuck after he realized he was that talented. If you watch the Saga 1-6, Luke/Leia/Han should come out as the good guys who save the galaxy, and if the Jedi were portrayed as just as good as Luke/Leia/Han, then there would be no arc in the story.
My real beef with Lucas is that whole setup in ROTS and the final turn scene on how eventually Anakin turns, making it because of silly dream and having him not even question Palpatines' motives, and then finally turning within 5 seconds and then go killing kids in the next scene was utterly ridicuolus and undid everything Lucas set up in TPM/AOTC. Damn Shame.
