10 Lies About Star Wars You Probably Believe

10. Jedi Knights Are Celibate

Throughout much of the Skywalker Saga in particular, the idea of a Jedi falling in love and inevitably getting somewhat intimate on the back of this felt like one of the biggest taboos in the entire galaxy.

Largely framed as monk-like figures for the most part, it's not hard to see why most Star Wars fans would assume the galaxy's supposed forces of good were very much sworn to celibacy from the second they decided to follow the path of the Jedi.

However, as George Lucas would later reveal to the BBC around the time of Attack of the Clones, it turns out that the likes of Anakin Skywalker bumping uglies with another isn't as off limits as you initially expected.

As Lucas put it:

"Jedi Knights aren’t celibate. The thing that is forbidden is attachments – and possessive relationships."

So, in other words, settling down to start a family with someone you're very much in love with? That's a big no-no.

Feeling that the Force is particularly strong with someone else for one-night-only, no strings attached, however? That's apparently all good, according to the Jedi Order's questionable rulebook.
