I don't think the jedi are supposed to get women pregnant. I think in some EU thing some jedi got disciplined by the order for getting a woman pregnant.

I'm still glad he let them have sex, despite the unpleasant implications. Otherwise you might get paedophile jedi knights preying on the padawans/younglings and Yoda trying to cover up the scandal.

I don't think Jedi should have sex because, again, they are supposed to be totally selfless, they ARE the light side of the force, sex is a loving bond between two people, Jedi are supposed to equally distribute their love to all life through the force. Again, my interpretation.

I think it's seriously unhealthy to ban people from having sex. Not to mention unnatural.

The Jedi way of life could be considered unnatural. Aren't priests not supposed to have sex either? (i.e. they can't get married and sex before marriage is supposedly bad. Sorry I know nothing about organized religion) I always saw the Jedi as religious figures, like Priests or Monks, that lead a very specific lifestyle not everyone is cut out for.

I disagree with the priest practice too. I think keeping priests celibate has done a lot of harm to the catholic church. I don't think the jedi, who are presented as if kids should look up to them, should be presented doing anything like that, whether no sex or just no relationships. It's a damaging message to promote.

I've always thought of force sensitivity as something anyone can develop with training, but some are naturally stronger than others (and this strength is hereditary).

The ban on marriage is a prequel idea; I don't really pay much attention to that.

I think early on force sensitivity was treated as something anyone could develop, but I think for a long while the idea has been that some people are born as force sensitives and those who are not just don't have it.
