Subject: jedi married

Question
okay can obiwan have gotten married when he was in exile and did all the skywalkers get married if so who did they mary,did yoda know anakin was married in ep3 when he was counciling him?

Answer
First of all, thank you for the question.

Here are my responses:

1.) "okay can obiwan have gotten married when he was in exile"

I will assume that by "exile", you refer to Obi-Wan's stay in Tatooine during the events that take place between Episode III and Episode IV. On that note, neither the movies nor the Expanded Universe (i.e., the novels, video games, etc.) mention that Obi-Wan got married during this time span.

2.) "did all the skywalkers get married if so who did they mary"

Here is a list of some well-known Skywalkers and their respective spouses:

- Shmi Skywalker (Anakin's mother) - married to Cliegg Lars (Cliegg is therefore Anakin's stepfather)
- Anakin Skywalker - married to Padme Amidala Naberrie Skywalker
- Luke Skywalker - married to Mara Jade Skywalker (in the Expanded Universe)
- Princess Leia (Skywalker) Organa-Solo - married to Han Solo (in the Expanded Universe)

3.) "did yoda know anakin was married in ep3 when he was counciling him?"

Officially, no. I say "officially", because it is rather difficult to tell whether Yoda had the feeling that Anakin was married (i.e., whether Yoda was delving deep within Anakin's thoughts and feelings). After all, Yoda (along with the "egghead Jedi" named Ki-Adi-Mundi) was able to sense Anakin's sad feelings towards leaving his mother, so it is very much possible that he had some suspicions in regards to Anakin's marital status.

Since "Jedi marriage" is the subject of your questions, I just want to give you a little tidbit regarding the same topic that you may or may not have already heard of:

Ki-Adi-Mundi, who is the "egghead Jedi" that I mentioned earlier, was actually allowed by the Jedi Order to marry. The reason was that the planet Cerea, which was his homeplanet, had a relatively low birth-rate. Thus, the Jedi Order allowed Ki-Adi-Mundi to marry and have children in order to offset this low birth rate.

I hope my responses help. If you have any more questions, or if there is anything unclear in my answers, do not hesitate to ask again.

Thank you.
