Few understood, though, that while specific, individual bonds such as romantic love or family were forbidden, the Jedi were not ashamed of compassion. The Jedi cultivated a practice of nonattachment, which had always served them well. So instead of bringing up old stories, or naming long-unspoken names, Averross moved on. He wasn't sorry he'd pushed back against Qui-Gon's empty moralizing, but it wasn't like he'd wanted to cause his friend pain. These words cut deep-or the memories did. On Felucia, you broke the spirit of that law into a dozen pieces." I might've broken the letter of the law, but not the spirit.
That doesn't compromise my emotions, doesn't divide my loyalties, anything like that. Getting laid? Not so much, not if it's casual, like me and Selbie. "Falling in love-that's what the Jedi Code forbids. "Yeah, there is." Damn, but Averross wished he had that ale around now. "There is a difference," Qui-Gon insisted, righteous as ever, "between falling in love and simply giving oneself license to do as one pleases." "Oh, no? Guess it's about hypocrisy, then." "This isn't about what happened in my past," Qui-Gon said.
The man's face was as inscrutable as ever, but the moment the door swung shut behind Selbie, Qui-Gon said, "Have you forgotten yourself entirely?"Īverross laughed. Once Selbie had stalked out with her head held high, Averross had no further excuse to avoid eye contact with Qui-Gon. So, I've taken the time to put together those ideas. Many have shared George Lucas’ view of attachment, but haven't discussed how the Jedi themselves viewed attachment in-universe. And like the Jedi, there has been a great deal of discussion about what “attachment” really is. Attachment has been a hot topic over the past few weeks following the events of The Book of Boba Fett.
