      “Attachment” is not the same as connection. The concept the Jedi are talking about is the Buddhist idea of attachment. It’s possessiveness, codependency, fear of loss. One cannot be fully connected to anything they’re attached to.

      You’ve been misled by the Sith propaganda my friend.

      And it’s very possessive. Yandere type.

      Yea this always seemed like a major plot hole to me. How are the Jedi good if their entire ethos is about isolating yourself from everyone and everything you’ve ever loved or had a connection to?

          I’m familiar with Buddhism. I also don’t see it as inherently “good,” it just “is.” Which I think most Buddhists would agree with.

          On the other hand, the Jedi are explicitly the “good guys” in a very black and white universe.
