Despite the ban, and its associated dangers, many Jedi, including
Kento Marek,
Ranik Solusar,
Nejaa Halcyon, and
Anakin Skywalker, were wed, either in secrecy or with the knowledge, and disapproval, of the Jedi Council, which led to disciplinary actions being taken against them. Ban notwithstanding, these unions often resulted in children being born, but not all necessarily becoming Jedi. Some
Jedi Masters in the Old Order were permitted to marry, as was the case with Master
Ki-Adi-Mundi. Due to the low ratio of
males to females, Mundi's duty to his species was taken into account and he was permitted to remain wedded to his wife and honor wives. Jedi Masters
T'ra Saa and
Tholme fell in love, despite the vast difference in species, but ultimately did not become a married couple. Master
Obi-Wan Kenobi and
Siri Tachi fell in love but this did not continue due to Tachi's demise.
Kit Fisto and
Aayla Secura had a long relationship until their deaths. The
New Jedi Order had their own marriage traditions. Under the leadership of
Luke Skywalker, the Jedi were allowed to marry and Skywalker himself married
Mara Jade.
One of the many marriage rituals. This one in particular is a royal
Onderonian wedding.
Some species, such as the
Zeltron, were devoted to the pursuit of pleasure and upheld hedonistic values, and marriage wasn't held in high regard. Some Zeltrons made an attempt to "educate" others on the "errors of monogamy." However, there were Zeltrons who thought differently, but they were rare.
Deliah Blue was in a monogamous relationship with
Cade Skywalker in
137 ABY, and even felt jealousy, a near un-heard of emotion for a Zeltron to feel.
Inter-species unions were rare, though not unheard of, and sometimes produced offspring. Commonly, such unions were between a
Human and a
near-Human, as in the case of the
Lethagoe, although more exotic unions were present, such as
Cut Lawquane's marriage with his
Twi'lek wife,
Suu. However, it was unlikely that such pairings would produce
hybrid children, in the absence of genetic modification or even
Sith alchemy. Jedi Master
Arca Jeth himself had
Sephiancestry, and
Darth Malgus took a Twi'lek,
Eleena Daru, to be his wife, which was considered to be unusual amongst the
Sith. This move echoed the past history of the Sith, where members of the
Sith species would
interbreed with the
Exiles. These unions produced many powerful Sith Lords who were strong in the power of the dark side.
Marka Ragnos and
Naga Sadow were two examples of such beings. Another exotic example of cross-species mating would be the
Force-sensitive assassin,
Aurra Sing, being the offspring of a human mother and a father of an unknown species, whom she had inherited certain traits from, most easily seen from her pale, alabaster white skin. In other cases, offspring of unions between humans and near-humans were not always so markedly different from the normal appearance of baseline humans, although sometimes they do face certain cultural or clan issues as in the case of the
Human/
Kiffar hybrid,
Ailyn Vel.
Moses aka lil Zel in here, as a lead? I may actually watch, dont expect much though.
