[QUOTE="doctorbadwolf, post: 6787497, member: 6704184"] Great points! Imo, the failures of the Jedi in 1-3 are also partly due to their insistence on avoiding attachments and emotions. Luke, and 5+6 Yoda IMO, allows himself to experience emotions, focusing on not letting them rule him, and his attachments are, like you said, what allows him to redeem his father. Anakins downfall isn't so much that he was attached, but the manipulation of Sidius the lying and secrets, and the resentment, jealousy, etc that builds in him as a result of all that. If he had felt comfortable talking to the other Jedi about his relationship, the advice he was getting from Palps, and his various emotional issues, the Sith would have lost. I mean he forces himself to hide much of his emotions from the Jedi, because the Jedi would probably treat them like a failure of his training. "Ah. I see. Had you been brought to us at a younger age, perhaps you would not have such trouble controlling your emotions." -random Jedi, probably And he misses his mother, but is expected to just...not. So of course he clings to the paternal relationship offered by Palps, and listens to his advice. I mean, imagine if Yoda and Obi-Wan had been Anakin's closest confidants? Or if he had been allowed to keep in touch with his mother? Or if he could live with Padme, and thus have a closer, open relationship, not to mention that if he had grown up with normal healthy relationships around him, maybe his marriage wouldn't be so uncommunicative, and he might confide in his hella smart wife, maybe? Seriously, the Jedi screwed up with that whole Zen monks who protect the galaxy thing. There is a reason monks tend to detach themselves from society. The two aren't easily compatible. [/QUOTE]
