    Jedis are fuckbois (and girls) confirmed. Look my Star Wars love is as limitless as space but this makes even less sense. Loving attachments are DARK SIED but using other people’s bodies for your own temporary pleasure & skipping out on any consequences is light side virtue?https://twitter.com/SWTweets/status/1357859074512089088 …

        Yoda uses sex as self care. It’s canon now. Useless to argue.

        Friends with benefits? No long term plans. Jedi are the college Greek system.

        And of course they 100% CAN have loving attachments, but only at work with other Jedi and/or padawans. So the problem actually seems to be sex + attachment. Sex without attachment is fine, attachment without sex also A-OK. The Force is weird & kind of a jerk

        I get possessive relationships being a bad thing sure, but attachments can be healthy & good so not sure what that would be bad. So many old (now) white guys from Sci Fi who had/have some disturbing views on relationships. (see Star Trek the Motion Picture novel by Roddenberry.)

        Forbidding love, family, and attachment is not the sign of a healthy culture. LET ALONE WORK CULTURE

        Is this another "white guy totally misreads Buddhism" that became Star Wars canon?

        Exactly, the problem is the word attachments. Look how many stories there are of people that kill their family then themselves Hell awaking was attached to his mom and daughter Tuskegee raiders as revenge. It isnt wrong just....needs a better word.

        I'm having a problem with equating "attachments" and "possessive relationships". I do think a loving attachment with something is thoroughly possible (and not at all uncommon) without the sort of possessiveness that that Anakin fell into.

        And maybe outlawing loving attachments pushed Anakin into that unhealthy possessiveness?
