      Yeah I mean in-universe I feel like this is obviously the Jedi both wanting their members to have only one loyalty, to the Jedi Order, and to avoid the idea of "Jedi dynasties" within families Which all makes sense, especially with their history as an anti-Sith army

      **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

      this feels like the big reveal at the end of a book 1 of an expanded universe trilogy, where we discover the heroes' light-side mentor is actually the villain and he wants to eliminate all knowledge of the force from the galaxy, for order

      Well I mean to me Star Wars just generally makes more sense with the backstory from KotOR The galaxy was once ruled by tyrannical Dark Side Force users (the Rakatan Empire) whose cruelty and tyranny was boundless, and whose inevitable collapse led to even more suffering

      The ancient origins of the Jedi Order were an attempt to try to make sure this never happened again The purpose of Jedi Knights is to be a neutered version of Sith Lords who *take the place the Sith would have* in an earlier society

      The whole Jedi concept of "Light Side" and "Dark Side" is the ancient Jedi trying to identify all the psychological factors that led to the old magocracy going mad with power and purge them from themselves Like how the rebels against the Hand in Marvel are carried "the Chaste"

      Like how Pratchett describes magic as like nukes in Discworld The purpose of Unseen University is to create a monopoly on wizard magic, put it all in one place, and then lock it up and not use it

      Cf. the idea that the original Jedi planet and the original Jedi texts are in this inaccessible nowhere place on purpose, the original Jedi founders were trying to protect the world from themselves

      Interesting discussion would be whether or not that's practical or wise, since canonically the Force is an active instigative impetus throughout the universe and history, and it purposefully gives rise to antithesis when the jedi predominate or things become stagnant.

      I was so hype for this to be the actual meaning of the subtitle of Star Wars Episode VII: The Force Awakens But like so much else from that movie the exciting hints weren't really followed up on

          But yes I definitely consider this part of the subtext of why Luke thinks the Jedi Order isn't worth bringing back in TLJ ("To call the Jedi the same as the Light is vanity") and the reveal with the Broom Kid in the ending

          It’s why in my opinion TLJ is the only sequel that actually engages with the rest of the series, instead of being an “…and then, and then…” add-on. Johnston specifically countered the idea of Star Wars being the story of one dynasty of force-users with Rey and the stable-boy.

          I was so hyped up when LJ pretty blatantly leaned in to saying rei was the rising antagonist to the dark side, and then the potential of both Kylo and Rei bucking previous trends of this conflict and ideology and where we could go for a synthesis. Alas. Our dreams are but dreams

          I will say the choice to have them literally tear the thematic football of the conflict of the force, and the fate of the skywalker bloodline, in two between them was very on the nose and just tremendous. The past cycle is gone, now we must make a new world.
