I guess I'll be that guy and point out this actually is what the word "celibate" is supposed to mean, and not having sex at all is the word "chaste"https://twitter.com/SWTweets/status/1357859074512089088 …

The Jedi are a lot like the Catholic Church and a lot like the Confician civil service in that they're institutions set up to compete with/replace a traditional family aristocracy and try not to become one themselves
That might have been the idea, but several aristocratic families in Italy used the Catholic church to promote their interests for centuries, purchasing positions, political intrigues, living like Cardinal princes. Many great fortunes were made managing the Papacy's wealth.
**begins tearing out hair** if we accept that force power is passed down through bloodlines, and then the jedi aren't allowed to have children, AND the jedi collect all force-sensitive kids and make them jedi, doesn't this entail that they're breeding the force out of the galaxy?
That's a feature, not a bug In the big picture the Jedi serve the social function of being "containment" for Force users, their overall job is to minimize the effect the Force has on ordinary people's daily life
And in that sense they are proven right, given that the instant a dude is able to pursue a family, he ushers in two generations of fascist darkness with the "happy ending" to it all being an end to the genetic line... with the other key fascist's descendant taking on the name
The Knights of the Old Republic comic series goes into what happens when you get "he comes from a good family" Jedi too. It's less than ideal.
that just sounds like mages in dragon age
