"I feel I need to ask this, but is there an option that doesn't require someone to live like celibate robocops or total freaking psychos?"

That's the question that Padawan Theidon Jade posed to the Jedi Council last Thursday.

The Council was seemingly puzzled by the question, despite having meditated on the nature of the force for thousands of years.

"I mean, is it just me? Has no one brought this up before?" he pressed.

One of the masters attempted a philosophical response, invoking the timeless wisdom of his forebears "Ignorance leads to fear, fear leads to hate, and hate leads to the dark side".

"Where does healthy skepticism lead, though?" replied the Padawan. " because I feel like there's a totally reasonable compromise to make here".

By then some members of the Council were growing visibly annoyed with him. "You have much to learn yet, Theidon," added another master.

"Seems like we all do." he answered.

Unfortunately for Theidon, his learning will continue elsewhere, as he was expelled from the Academy the next day. Despite his sudden expulsion, Theidon insists he's not bitter. "I mean, I can still do a bunch of cool things. I'm not sure why they'd want me out there unsupervised."

If anything, he says it's perfectly consistent with Jedi logic, he further remarked. "Give a bunch of sexually-frustrated dudes lightsabers and send them out into the world. Nothing bad can happen, right?"
