Aside from the fact that the Jedi were deeply flawed and hypocritical by nature, Obi-Wan and Yoda the only seeming exceptions, attracted is not a choice.

Of course it is.  Or rather, ones reactions to that attraction are the choice.  I could be a sick disgusting pervert that's attracted to 8 year olds (I'm 33 btw and not attracted to 8 year olds, just using an example), but I don't have to react on that at all.  Similarly, Anakin does not have to react to his "attraction" to a 13 year old, especially when he's married.

I don't know where this idea comes from that the Jedi were flawed and hypocritical.  It's new as of the PT as far as I know.  The Jedi had their rules and traditions for 5000 years, then some snot nosed brat comes along and f's it all up, and they're suddenly flawed and hyprocritical?  No, more likely they just got stupid for constantly giving Anakin these "missions" to test him that he kept failing.  Anyone else would've stopped giving him shit to do and kicked him out of the order.

I've enjoyed the first two episodes, for many of the same reasons already stated.

If only they would tone down the battle droid slapstick. They are more annoying now than they ever were in the prequels!

I've long presumed Order 66 is some sort of deep subconscious brainwashing thing ala "The Manchurian Candidate". The clones simply can't disobey it.

How the hell Order 66 was programmed into an Army bought and paid for by an alleged Jedi is anyone's guess. I don't think the Kaminoans would do it without asking a lot of questions, and Palpy can't possibly have met every clone personally...

I believe this is stated in one of the novels.  The Order 66 was right there in the programming.  The Jedi just never bothered to actually read the entire programming.  Order 66 wasn't specifically tied to Jedi either I don't think.  It was tied to anyone that committed treason.  As soon as the Chancellor informed them that the Jedi had committed treason, that was really all they needed.
