Come to think of it, the Jedi are kinda dicks, they prevented anakin becoming a master despite his obvious talented skills in saber combat and his power in the force.

Not to mention, lore wise they let mundi have relations with his family where as it would’ve been a kick out for anakin.

Lastly, the jedi were sorta arrogant for thinking that nothing was wrong or that they were perfect despite having literal counterarguments from rebellious masters, Qui Gonn being a good example of somebody smelling the bullshit that the jedi were involved in.

So my fellow sith lords and jedi knights, what say you?

    The Jedi code teaching students that emotions are dangerous, is about as useful as teaching abstinence in sex ed.

    Stop teaching people to ignore attachments and focus on dealing with them in a healthy way instead.

      Strictly speaking, it’s less like teaching abstinence in sex ed and more like teaching abstinence in a monastery. The Jedi aren’t telling this to the general galactic population, they’re telling a select group of warrior monk wizard diplomats trained from toddlerhood.

        Especially important the context of a universe where feeling too strongly can be a snowball effect to evil for someone entrusted with certain powers.

      Having superpowers powered by emotion is dangerous, and the whole point of Jedi training is to understand and recognize your emotions, so that you don’t allow intense emotions to control your actions.

      Anakin did not learn those lessons. Ignoring emotion is the antithesis of Jedi teaching, the entire point is to learn how to deal with them in a healthy way.
