I wouldn't call the jedi order oppressive. Just incompetent at running an organization.
Honestly the jedi come off as neo liberals to me, they felt very in favor of the status quo even if there was obviously bad things going on in the galaxy like slave trade and shit
I can feel that.
They stole and then brainwashed children into their religion and forced their members into celibacy.
Not celibacy. Just no attachment. One of the masters on the council Ki-Adi Mundi was allowed multiple wives due to his species being considered endangered.
Jedi could engage in pleasurable activities. They just weren't supposed to be attached to those activities.
No, they didn't. Parents had the right to refuse.
All education is propaganda. That doesn't make it wrong, and the Jedi were the guardians of a 10,000 year old Republic made of thousands of different species. They were clearly right about a lot of things.
Members were free to leave, like Dooku did, and the Order made plenty of exceptions, like with Ki-Adi-Mundi, and, thanks to canonization of Corran Horn, apparently all the Corellian Jedi were just getting married anyways. Lmao.
Tl;Dr Star Wars fans don't know shit about Star Wars, and Anakin was just a messy bitch.
