The secret relationship and forever alone Jedi thing were unnecessary features of the PT, anyway. I don’t know why we need so much emphasis on these aspects to be restored. There is never external pressure from Obiwan or the council acting on Anakin, regarding these rules (I think). It’s unbelievable enough that, watching the Clone Wars TV show, I always find myself defaulting to the assumption that it’s an open secret. Obiwan is obviously not surprised in RoTS.

We still have the ‘unconditional love’ scene showing us that clearly the Jedi have a nuanced view on what would be considered appropriate behavior and relationships. Anakin sidesteps the mentioned rules with a half-assed response, and then they never seek Jedi approval for their relationship.

The dialogue you have left in that scene is still painfully bad. Of much lower quality than anything Hal has left in, IMO. And it doesn’t do anything to further explain these strange Jedi rules. It’s just a bunch of, “We couldn’t!” “We mustn’t!” sludge.
