Anghraine

Right. Leaving the Order is leaving your entire way of life; I'm kind of curious what made pre-Sithly Dooku split (but I'm not surprised he was a pretty old man by the time he managed to do it). And most of those people wouldn't have anywhere to go. (Based on what Obi-Wan says in ANH, it's my headcanon that he hit it off with Owen and Beru so well that they offered to give him a place at home, and he seriously considered it before falling back on ten years of Jedi ideals.)

I don't find the idea of children in the Order inherently wrong -- I mentioned orphans and boarders in QOM -- but only as students. Hogwarts has its problems, but nothing like the old Jedi.

Anyone can request a drabble from me, and I am happy to write in the Revengeverse! Is there anything specific you'd like?
