I thought that was killing Younglings according to George.

But that of course flies in the face of the fact that Anakin is an asshole in Episodes II and III and had no problem killing sand person kiddies in episode II. Of and unarmed females too. tough guy that anakin.

The novelization does make a distinction though that his first murder is dooku, in episode II he was just mad because they tortured his mom to death. He said they were like animals and he slaughtered them like animals.

That it was not premeditated and he just lost his cool it was just manslaughter,lol.

Anyways jedi are above the law and don't answer to the senate anyway and since they have their own distinction of right and wrong they are to do whatever they want regular people need not be concerned.
