Star Wars: 10 Things Everyone Always Gets Wrong About The Jedi

10. They're Not Allowed To Show Any Emotion

Throughout the Prequel Trilogy in particular, George Lucas paints his Jedi Order as a stoic group of Force-sensitive monks who simply refuse to showcase the faintest glimmer of emotion out of fears that it may consume them.

Or at least, that's what the average Star Wars watcher tends to take away from the days of the Galactic Republic.

In truth, though, the Jedi Order don't actually forbid their members from showcasing any and all heightened emotions. However, what is stressed from the minute a Force-sensitive soul begins their Jedi training is that one must learn to control their emotions and feelings; finding peace in even the most emotional circumstances.

The first line of the Jedi Code's mantra confirms the comforting thought process just about every Jedi finds themselves falling back on even in the darkest of times, that being "There is no emotion, there is peace."

So, far from outright denying their pupils the basic human response of being upset or frustrated on occasion, it is evident the Jedi simply want those learning the ways of the Force to not let said anger fester and grow out of control... that can lead to donning all black and a new shade of lightsaber, you know?
