I feel like a lot of Star Wars fans need to be acquainted with the concept of “friends with benefits.”

I just wish I had a link to the Lucas interview circa AotC where he said Jedi are not celibate as a rule. It is attachment/marriage they have a problem with. The Jedi have always had recourse to rationalize what Anakin and Padme are up to.

Honestly, after watching the movies and especially TCW, I’m not sure I can even contemplate celibate Obi Wan seriously. That man is ridiculous. He probably legitimately considers banter early foreplay. If anyone could delude himself into thinking Anakin was just finally getting his proper slut on instead of defiling Jedi tenets, it would be him.

I remember reading an article about this, yeah!

“Jedi Knights aren’t celibate – the thing that is forbidden is attachments – and possessive relationships.”

So they definitely can have sex, it’s possessive relationships (which is what attachment is associated with) that they forbid.  Whether Anakin is right that that includes marriage or if he’s misinterpreted that part, who knows, but you will NEVER convince me that Obi-Wan didn’t feel perfectly free to have sex when he felt like it.

LOL @ all of this, but also I am dying because what if, after all this anguish, there actually WASN’T a Jedi Rule against marriage, Anakin was just confused (I mean…this is Anakin we’re talking about,) and so when Anakin and Padme are (poorly) sneaking around all those YEARS, the rest of the Jedi are like “…so, do they not want us to know they’re married? Why?” Other Jedi are starting to feel slighted and wondering why Anakin didn’t invite any of his Jedi family to the wedding. Jedi don’t get married that often, so when one of them does, they throw one HELL of a PARTY. Yoda is heartbroken because he’s Anakin’s elderly great-great Jedi grandpa and he still didn’t even get an announcement in his inter-office mail. 

Obi-Wan shrugs and explains that, well, Anakin’s weird sometimes. Oh, he’s tried to ask about Senator Amidala, all right, but Anakin always brushes him off! He’s not sure what to do anymore (and he’s also totally pretending not to be crushed that he wasn’t asked to be best man.)

On a slightly less ridiculous note, I am completely sure Obi-Wan was not celibate. One of my favorite things about the Rey’s Parentage Debates were when people would be like “well we know she’s not Obi-Wan’s granddaughter because CLEARLY Obi-Wan would Never have sex oh my no” and I’d just be like “look, I don’t know who her parents are, and I have no stake in this fight, but if you think that man never had sex with anybody ever I am not sure we are even watching the same show.” 

OBI-WAN JUST WANTED TO ASK HIM ABOUT WHERE THEY WERE REGISTERED AND ANAKIN BIT HIS HEAD OFF SO ALL RIGHT GUESS ANAKIN DOESN’T WANT TO SHARE THIS WITH THE REST OF THEM.  Yoda’s heartbroken about it, he was so looking forward to the grandkids’ wedding and that Senator Amidala girl is really nice, he gets a warm feeling in his heart when he sees her!

On to the slightly more serious note–I’m pretty sure the implication that we were supposed to take away from his relationship with Satine was YEAH THEY DEFINITELY BANGED because even if Korkie wasn’t canonically his bio-son we’re meant to at least consider the idea and to consider THEY HAD TO HAVE BANGED IN THE FIRST PLACE.

Also, you know there’s a string out there of of heartbroken super hot blondes who just get SO MAD at his stupid handsome face.  Probably at least a dozen of them!
