I always saw the Jedi as religious figures, like Priests or Monks, that lead a very specific lifestyle not everyone is cut out for.

And, of course, kids are locked into this lifestyle when they are far too young to make such decisions for themselves. Anakin, at nine years old, was considered “too old” to enter the lifestyle.

The more I think about it, the more Anakin’s “From my point of view, the Jedi are evil!” makes sense.

wow, never thought about that. But I can see how it might be easier if it's all you've ever known
