    I still prefer the fan-canon that padme knew what she was doing because trying to emotionally connect and correct the upcoming angry sithy jedi was the only plan the council could come up with. Her (stated/acted on) feelings toward him were all a lie.

      But the Jedi think passion and romantic bonding is evil - if they thought that was a good remedy for Dark Side Anakin, why would they keep the "no relationships’ rule for everyone else?

        everyone else presumably had time to be indoctrinated. Jedi start training as infants, taught to temper their emotions and such.

        I’m not very much into the start wars theories, but are they really against passion and romantic bonding in general?
        I thought, that’s only for their active members, so they can’t be compromised that easily

          Yeah it’s for all members of the Jedi order, but they want Anakin to stay in the Jedi Order and it’s probably the beat way for him to avoid being seduced by siths or learn to control his emotions.

            Thanks, I see

            I’m not very knowledgeable when it comes to start wars, so thanks for the insight :⁠-⁠)
