I think that's about it. Emotional attachment is an evil, you know. We got that message loud and clear in ROTS, when Annie went evil and killed kids all because he was in love with Padme and thus wanted to save her. Attachment leads to the dark side. Love is evil and makes you kill kiddies.

Wtf has happened to Star Wars?

So you'd prefer nice Protestant Jedi (Methodists?) who are allowed to marry rather than Jedi resembling the East Asian monks that they are so clearly inspired by?

And it is worth noting Yoda never gives a word of 'no attachment' advice to anyone who is not weilding a superhuman power that has an active and malignant Dark Side.

Yeah but Yoda's advice sounds like it's meant to apply generally not just for force wielders. And a lot of people will go to that film and go "Wow, Yoda is wise. I have to follow his advice," and try to apply that stuff in their lives.

And I'm not in favor of any group we're supposed to look up to being portrayed as being against love or sex or relationships or whatever. And despite them being shown to have some faults, there is a lot pushing the audience to look up to the jedi. That's pushing an anti-relationship/anti-love attitude as a good thing, as does the plot of ROTS. Love and sex and relationships are a natural part of life and it's unnatural to ban them. Pretty funny for a bunch like the jedi who are supposed to be in touch with life.
