Star Wars‘ Jedi Order could have used a couple of emotional support counselors on staff. In the prequel trilogy, we were repeatedly told that Jedi should suppress their emotions, cut all ties with their families, and avoid romance at all costs. These rules make sense for real-world monks, but then real-world monks aren’t at risk of becoming all-powerful galactic conquerors.
Their most notable failure was Anakin Skywalker. The Jedi removed him from his mother Shmi (leaving her enslaved on Tatooine), assigned him to protect a woman he was clearly besotted with, and repeatedly told him that he was “the chosen one”. All that’s going to mess with anyone’s head, and left him extremely vulnerable to being manipulated by Darth Sidious.
