Immortality Posted March 26, 2004 Posted March 26, 2004 A friend told me the other day that Jedis werent supposed to have sex "for some reason". I got rather curious, so here you have me... asking if its true that the Jedis cant have sex, and why?? Thx.
leXX Posted March 26, 2004 Posted March 26, 2004 Attachment is forbidden. Possession is forbidden. Love is forbidden and therefore sex. Anakin only said "Compassion, which I would define as 'unconditional love' is essential to a Jedi's life. So you might say that we are encouraged to love", as an excuse so he could get his leg over.
Immortality Posted March 26, 2004 Author Posted March 26, 2004 Uhm... I am assuming that any kind of physical attachment is forbidden then. Or is it spiritual attachment forbidden too? What about love for friends/family? How cant you be atached to your friends, for example? Even if Jedis live in celibate, its impossible not to have some sort of "reaction" to certain people. And also, do Dark Jedis follow the same rules? What changes in a Jedi when they turn into the Dark side? (sorry for all the newbie questions )
Lynk Former Posted March 26, 2004 Posted March 26, 2004 Glad I'm not a Jedi wannabe... though I can see why most ...*ahm*Star Wars fans relate to Jedi's
Boba Rhett Posted March 26, 2004 Posted March 26, 2004 These rules were changed by Luke after he started up the Jedi again seeing as how that rules placement was out of fear the first time around and because it had such contradictions as you stated.
Lynk Former Posted March 26, 2004 Posted March 26, 2004 After kissing his sister you bet he changed the rules!!
RoxStar Posted March 27, 2004 Posted March 27, 2004 Thats hilrious. But to answer the question about the Dark Jedis, do dictators tax themselves?

What changes in a Jedi when they turn into the Dark side? (sorry for all the newbie questions ) Hmm, dark jedi probably do. The sith seem too obsessed with power to have the time though they must since they interbreed with the original sith. I imagine the jedi do as well they just see it as falling, as love invokes powerful emotions and that can lead to the darkside...
Sabretooth Posted March 27, 2004 Posted March 27, 2004 Tge Jedi code states that Jedi are not allowed to love, and even if so, should keep their emotions underwater. Anakin was a clear-cut exception in this. His arrogance, and Dark-Sidishness infected his mind sent him for Padmé. Padmé didn't know much about the way of the Jedi and let Anakin love her. Soon, his emotion of love became lust and soon, the Skywalker twins were born. Jedi aren't allowed to have sex since sex invistes lust, greediness, intoxicationg thoughts, dirtiness, "the feeling" and finally, anger due to betrayal. All of these factors open the door to the Dark Side, and what happens next? Anakin will explain... Jedi are allowed to love, though. Nothing further than that. No sex, no compassion, no "encouragement to love" or anything.
BawBag™ Posted March 27, 2004 Posted March 27, 2004 Beats me how Jedi can be so passive, not being able to get their end away. (Well, the bloke Jedi anyway).
Sabretooth Posted March 27, 2004 Posted March 27, 2004 Originally posted by Immortality Ahhh, thanks very much, sabretooth Glad to know somebody has apprecieated my Star Wars knowledge...
Weiser_Cain Posted March 27, 2004 Posted March 27, 2004 *mumbles something about being unappreciated*
JediNyt Posted March 27, 2004 Posted March 27, 2004 I heard George might have said that casual sex is ok for Jedi, they just cant get attached. Boy youd have to be pretty shallow to be a Jedi if thats true.
Immortality Posted March 28, 2004 Author Posted March 28, 2004 Ahem. My apologies and thanks Weiser_Cain. Also, things are getting confusing now too... How come George says casual sex is ok as long as the Jedi doesnt get attached? I mean... isnt it WORSE than having sex with someone you love? As JediNyt says... boy, thats shallowness!! So.. uhm.. some straight answer would be ok Also... what about dark jedis (sorry, the same question again) cos i didnt really get if they can or cannot love. I also think that the logical thing is that they want the power of the force so much that they wouldnt even think of love/sex, as it wouldnt be in their plans, as long its not for a very specific reason, like... reproduce?
Immortality Posted March 28, 2004 Author Posted March 28, 2004 Oh, and also, what about force sensitive people?
Darth Homer Posted March 28, 2004 Posted March 28, 2004 I believe JediNyt was joking when he said what he did, you'll have to forgive that, we are fairly light-hearted around here I believe that if you are a jedi, sex is forbidden as for the Sith, if they find time between all the plotting to overthrow the galaxy, they can do whatever they like. They run off of base emotions; hate, fear, etc.; so they can probably have sex, though I doubt that any sith really loves anyone other than themselves. And force sensitives can probably love & get married and such, because they are only sensitive to the force & not governed by the Jedi Council or Code hope that helps!
JediNyt Posted March 28, 2004 Posted March 28, 2004 Actually I wasnt joking, I either read or heard that somewhere on starwars.com. I just cant remember where for sure. Regardless, Im sure George said it as a joke. And yes we are lighthearted around here.
dark jedi 8 Posted March 28, 2004 Posted March 28, 2004 i didn't think the dark jedi even loved themselves. they love the quest for power and to make themselves better, stronger, more powerful. if they loved themselves, then, well that'd be wierd. IMO.
Immortality Posted March 29, 2004 Author Posted March 29, 2004 Thanks everybody! Now everythings clearer
ckcsaber Posted March 29, 2004 Posted March 29, 2004 Hmm... I wonder if you can "squander the passion" as a jedi?
Emperor Pangasa Posted April 16, 2004 Posted April 16, 2004 I think Jedi can have casual sex. There really is no attachment there. A jedi could make a good player:emperor:
