Right in the midichlorians :'(

Oh dear. A comic has given me emotions.

Wow...the alternative was so bright...

How has no-one mentioned the fact that he wouldn't become Darth Vader if Padme didn't die? He wouldn't have the fight with Obi-Wan...
Docbone
because the comic is a vision of what could have been, but wasn't, as seen by Vader as he's dying at the end of Return of the Jedi?
autopia
Wasn't romance supposed to be forbidden to the Jedi? So he'd get kicked out of the order as soon as they found out he had a kid.
ajpimpsalll
That's what happens when a writer makes a contrivance to backtrack an entire universe...
UltraBooster
Its the dating that basically ruined everything. Cared too much and the darkside found its way in
WoahMyDudeThatsCrazy
I'd imagine that after killing (presumably) the most powerful sith alive at the time they would ease up on old Anakin
ThatNameWasTaken
Yeah but maybe he don't love dem hoes so he's just dropping nuts and smashing sluts. Then can he stay a Jedi?
EmporerDragon
It wasn't really romance the Order was against, it was the attachment. A few too many Jedi went down the vengeance path for their liking.
mikeatike
I thought the panel was depicting Anakin turning his back on Kenobi and Yoda for his family.
Keairan
EU bit here, but the Corellian Jedi commonly had families.
BoozeHound001
Corellia was just the "Fuck you we play by our own rules" planet
Puttzy
It was quite common for jedi to have kids actually, they either kept it hidden or became "grey/gray" and gave their kids for training [pt 1]
Puttzy
Some disliked the order and fled to train their children freely. But it was common tho frowned upon as they were against passion and feeling
barnwolf
Loving your wife so much that you'll murder everyone in the Jedi temple, not cool. The Jedi kinda got a point.
freiman
Well if they dealt with these feelings openly and honestly and don't hide maybe it turns out differently
barnwolf
I guess the Jedi are naturally inclined to those sorts of extremes, while non-force users are not?
mcgeeverslop
Yeah but this is a nicer ending than the reality of canon

when you truly enjoy a series and the accompanying story, random days of our lives escapades doesnt cut it. i want an epic.

There was a branch of jedi seeking to lax up the code Qui Gon was a part of it. Having the Messiah and the hero of the jedi on their side(1)
dangerousDoc
Would provide a lot of political fire power to that branch
ashcans
Maybe, but he'd get to have his family. That's what it shows, him playing with his kids, not being a Jedi Master. He would have been happy.
watchrinserepeat
And would have brought some balance to the force already so could retire
cobragrunt
And he could easily train them
TheMortiestMortyfromC137
The order was already doomed... it was a flawed system
vanbarbee
"Only a Sith deals in absolutes!"
BoozeHound001
Isn't that comment in and of itself an absolute?
vanbarbee
Think that may have been the point. Said by Obi-Wan nonetheless.
BoozeHound001
Who by his own logic was a sith.
MagicBackPack
Master ki-adi-mundi had a wife and kids iirc, some were given special permission due to cultural differences, the more you know
stupidstray
In the Jedi-apprentice books Qui Gon got, like... Jedi-married to another jedi. Something like that. Not that those are Canon anymore.
skeeli614
I think that was because it was a very rare chance for a male of his species to be born? Iirc
cthulhusbestfriend
It was the fact that his specis was going extinct
Randomman96
Extinct due to low birth rates if I recall correctly.
AllanMariscal
Interesting! I always thought it was silly to forbid love. Why serve at all? To uphold peace, justice etc and not fight for love is stupid
AzgarOgly
There where lots of warrior munk orders in the past. In European and other cultures. Maybe you should check their motivation.
MrLobstrosity
Keep in mind, Anakin betrayed the Jedi for love.
eggmuffin
It's to avoid powerful emotions. Love is a tremendous motivator, but not always for good deeds.
AllanMariscal
Good point. But peace and justice are also good motivators to kill with the right intentions
eggmuffin
Those aren't emotions.
