    Child endangerment is the Jedi way.

    That’s why they are given laser swords that can cut through anything at age six!

      You mean those kids didn’t go through the Jedi ritual of constructing their own lightsabers? What has happened to our cherished traditions?!

        Palps strip mined Ilum so it’s probably better that we don’t send younglings there any more.

        At least before the fall of the republic, it was apparently common for Jedi Padawans to be locked in a cave to face a trial against their deepest fear to get a Kyber Crystal to even make their lightsaber in the first place. If they failed to conquer their fear, they died.

        Edit: apparently they don’t die per se, but are meant to believe they will and also if they fail, they might be stuck there. It’s weird and still not ethical
