      Not wrong. The concept of “don’t ever form meaningful relationships/attachments/commitments apart from towards the cult” is pretty sociopathic.

      While in the OG materials the Jedi are portrayed as this perfect society, that’s changed a lot in Extended Universe and newer shows. It’s quite a flawed concept, the Jedi Order.

          I never relized that the Jedi are the Catholic Church. Kinda weird symbolism that in Star Wars the main opposing forces are the Catholic Church clerics vs the Nazis.

            Ouch that hurt me more than you probably meant it to.
