Did you get the impression that man did everything by the code? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you get the impression that man did everything by the code? oh no question he ignored the code if/when it got in his way, still something fundemental like relationships, having children how in lore terms would he have been allowed to remain a jedi master?

XjediXrf Posted March 24, 2012 Share Posted March 24, 2012 In this time,Jedi could marry,but could only see each other on Tython and their children would be raised by the order,as if they were taken there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If this helps: (warning, Spoilers about the Jedi Consular story) marrying Nadia is not a dark side path, it seems like it's no more than frowned upon. The fear for romantic attachments is still there, and the jedi will apparently stop someone's training over it, but it isn't a big enough deal to throw out a dedicated Master who has proven himself time and time again.

casirabit Posted March 24, 2012 Share Posted March 24, 2012 (edited) Also consider this A consular tends to deal more with the force powers rather than lightsaber combat. In doing so they can open themselves up more to dark side powers than a romance/marriage ever could. In a sense if your partner is rooted in the lightside/good side there is a big strong possiblity that should you start using dark side powers he/she would catch it way before any other person would and be able to help you stop that descent. And like someone said love/marriage is not forbidden just resticted and you have to be able to prove you can handle the responsibilites and stay on the right path whether you love/marry another jedi, smuggler or trooper. If you can prove you are responsbile for that then no they will most of the time figure that is not a big deal. Your past actions and behavior has a lot to do with how they will react to it. In this time period it happens, look at Bastilla and Revan and even Satela has a child from a relationship. Edited March 24, 2012 by casi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you sure? Because I think Orgus Din told my JK that "This is why Jedi aren't allowed to marry" when the Twi'lek matriach died. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You might as well ask how Grand Master Satele was able to have a son and still be allowed to be Grand Master. Neither her, nor Fain, can have continuous contact with their kids which is...rather sad actually. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phalynn Posted March 28, 2012 Share Posted March 28, 2012 always been a Lore gap IMO within the whole world of SW. Obviously the force can be prominent in most people of most races regardless of ancestry....but with so many Force users in the galaxy its crazy to NOT think that the most prominent method is genetics. seems to me there there would be considerably less Jedi if the main method of creating them was not passing Force affinity down to offspring Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miaxi Posted March 28, 2012 Share Posted March 28, 2012 Touching the dark side and finding your way back to the light is part of a jedi's training. Besides, a night of drinks and fuzzy memory is all it takes to put a bun in the oven. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerid Posted March 28, 2012 Share Posted March 28, 2012 Keeping in mind this is spolierish... The impression I got was that when they were on Malachor IV (or was it III?) and were overcome by the darkside that he and Youn actually got it on. It's concieveable that the daughter is from that encounter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amien Posted March 28, 2012 Share Posted March 28, 2012 If Jedi couldn't have children, the order would have died out a LONG time ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lexiekaboom Posted March 28, 2012 Share Posted March 28, 2012 (edited) The problem with the good guys is you can always redeem yourself. If you follow the stories, I would be surprised if a single member of the Jedi order wasn't a homicidal madman at some point. Big deal. You fall to the dark side, get redeemed, and all is forgiven. You can fall to the dark side, almost eliminate the Jedi order and start a cival war, get defeated, lose your memories, have your memories return, turn a jedi master to the dark side with your ***** (and later marry her) and all you have to do is blow up a star station and you BOTH get to come back as full masters. It's a pretty goofy system, but hey, it's pretend. Edited March 28, 2012 by lexiekaboom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

afedyuki Posted April 3, 2012 Share Posted April 3, 2012 I am under impression that this whole "Jedi are forbidden to love" is more of a "don't ask don't tell" thing. Everyone is probably doing it but no one talks about it. Besides, it is not really enforceable. I mean, what what are they going to do if they find out? Kick you out of the order? They might as well give you a recommendation letter to Korriban academy if they do that. Also I don't feel like having this conversation about birds and bees so let's just say that not all kids are a result of serious romantic relationship.

maxetius Posted April 4, 2012 Share Posted April 4, 2012 Kick you out of the order? They might as well give you a recommendation letter to Korriban academy if they do that. But when there's no Sith, that's exactly what they do. Kick you out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well then there's the slightly silly/horrifying, they may be forbidden from love, but not forbidden from having intercourse. I can see it now, 'Congratulations Master Skippy for gaining a seat on the Jedi council. Since you have show such wisdom and restraint your first task will be to mate with these females to perpetuate the order.'

Now here is my question, if Jedi are forbidden by code from romance how is it that Duras Fain has a Daughter There are several examples in the EU of children being born to members of the Jedi Order (examples such as the son of Satele Shan are mentioned here and many more are known to Google). These children were either given up for adoption or raised by the Order. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nucairion Posted April 4, 2012 Share Posted April 4, 2012 in this time as smeone pointed out jedi could marry and have kids, tho could only see each other on tython and kids would be raised by the order away from the parents. also remember that it wasnt until much later harsher rules came into affect. but also how could satile shan be decent of bastila if jedi couldnt marry/romance. for me tho its a tad ironic that jedi saying has fear leads to the dark side and yet EVERY jedi fears love Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
