Discussing this is one of my favorite exchanges/threads I’ve had on this site for sure.
I mean, yes, it sure does seem reasonable that marriage would be forbidden for a Jedi who wants to keep being actively a Jedi (given that being MARRIED is a pretty substantial attachment, haha) but also the only people we see talking about it are Anakin and Padme (who presumably is getting most of her Jedi information from Anakin), so it’s funny as hell to think about the possibilities.
I just love the idea that literally no one ever said a Jedi couldn’t get married, Anakin misinterpreted something at some point because he’s an idiot, and now he’s living in what he assumes is some Very Top Secret Marriage That No One Can Ever Know About and is Deeply Tormented about it for what turns out to be no reason. Anyone with even the smallest amount of awareness and sense knows Anakin and Padme are together, and so now the whole Order is just like “…so, do they not want us to know they’re married??? Are they waiting to throw another reception with everyone there? I don’t get it; I thought Anakin liked us!” Obi-Wan tries to broach the subject and Anakin just snaps at him all NO OBI-WAN I DON’T EVEN KNOW WHAT YOU’RE TALKING ABOUT OF COURSE I’M NOT MARRIED, WHAT THE FUCK, GOD.
I also loved the idea that like, in this AU, Jedi don’t usually get married, so when one of them DOES it’s like, a gigantic party and they go all out and poor Yoda is SO HEARTBROKEN because he finally had a chance to give one of his grandkids away (and to that nice Amidala girl no less!) and host a beautiful ceremony in the Temple gardens, and yet HE WASN’T EVEN INVITED TO THE WEDDING.
Anakin just assumes Mace Windu keeps making a face at him because Mace hates him for no reason and is a jerk, but it’s really just the face of a man who is deeply offended that he, a senior Jedi Council member, never even got an ANNOUNCEMENT CARD IN THE DAMN MAIL. Anakin believes Obi-Wan is frustrated with him because of some BS Jedi training reasons, when in actuality Obi-Wan’s quietly and deeply hurt that Anakin got married and not only was he not asked to be the best man, he wasn’t even invited.
