April 11, 200520 yr Good that enlightened New Jedi Order led by wise Luke, resigned from this strange social engineering. 80% of New Jedi Knights are guys who joined the ranks between 16-30 year of their lives. And they indeed proved that they are as good as those prequel products of artificial non-family upbringing. HERMOCRATES: Nur Ab Sal was one such king. He it was, say the wise men of Egypt, who first put men in the colossus, making many freaks of nature at times when the celestial spheres were well aligned. SOCRATES: This I doubt. We are hearing a child's tale.

Maybe Jedi should not be sociable: more monastic and less chatty. But then what are they defending? If the Jedi order is the semiotic equivalent to the Samurai, then it should be derived from Shintoism/Confuscianism, so: one of its central tenets would be the pre-eminence of the family in general and filial piety in particular. So they are abrogating their own filial piety to defend everyone elses? Sounds like a recipe for disaster, like Roman Catholic priests not being able to marry. Methinks Luke had the right idea, let the Jedi live a life that is an example to others. OBSCVRVM PER OBSCVRIVS ET IGNOTVM PER IGNOTIVS OPVS ARTIFICEM PROBAT
