I'd go even so far as to say that the Jedi were institutionally unequipped to deal with Anakin. They tried to have it both ways by keeping him around to prevent him from turning to the dark side and stunted him to prevent him from becoming too powerful while also failing to provide him with an environment to deal with his emotions other than appealing to stoicism and abstinence. Their obsession with dogma over people is what ultimately led to Luke destroying the ancient Jedi texts in the sequel trilogy after similarly failing his own nephew.
- staticman2 3y agoLuke doesn't destroy the texts, he was going to until Yoda's ghost appears to do it with lightning then they show Ray had stolen the texts. (I think it would have been better if Luke was going to destroy the texts, Yoda does it, Luke is outraged and realizes he doesn't want the Jedi to end, then Yoda says "then you'll have to tell people what was in the texts" and then Luke becomes a teacher again and doesn't die) The sequel trilogy really has nothing to say about the prequels. Luke doesn't fail because he's following Jedi dogma, he doesn't even have the texts until he leaves and finds the first Jedi temple after Kylo turned evil, which had nothing to do with worldly attachments as far as we see.
