George Lucas actually allowed one Jedi from the Star Wars Expanded Universe to be exempt from the Jedi Order's strict rule against marriage.
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT The Star Wars prequel-era Jedi Order infamously forbade marriage among Jedi, but George Lucas himself allowed one Jedi to break this rule in Legends. From 1977 to 2014, the Star Wars franchise’s Expanded Universe, comprised of material outside the main six saga films, was the official Star Wars canon.
In both canon and Legends, the Jedi Order forbade marriage for much of its history. In the new canon, the High Republic-era Jedi may have been allowed to form romantic relationships and marry, but this fell out of practice sometime before the prequels. In Legends, Luke Skywalker’s New Jedi Order not only allowed marriage, but also encouraged such healthy attachments. The Legends-era Jedi Order that preceded Luke’s generation, however, only permitted marriage before the Great Sith War.
Anakin Skywalker was actually briefly apprenticed to Ki-Adi-Mundi in Legends, making his polygamous marriages oddly ironic. Why Ki-Adi-Mundi Had Wives In Star Wars Legends In-universe, the reason why Ki-Adi-Mundi was exempt from the Jedi Order’s rule against marriage is that it was necessary for his species to survive. Ki-Adi-Mundi is a Cerean, a species whose male birth rate is extremely low, necessitating that male Cereans have polygamous marriages.
Ki-Adi-Mundi notably struggled to avoid becoming attached to his Cerean family members, but he nevertheless adhered to the old Jedi Order’s code. Tragically, Ki-Adi-Mundi’s careful work to both keep his species alive and avoid becoming attached to his family were all futile. In the first year of the Clone Wars in Legends, the CIS invaded Cerea and while the Republic, whose forces were led by Ki-Adi-Mundi himself, won the battle, it came at the cost of a million Cereans.
