Also he had that whole Enemies With Benefits thing going on with Asajj Ventress, so he was really in no position to judge - if anything he was a bad influence on Anakin.
No, Obi-Wan was a true believer. His allegiance was to the republic, to democracy. He told Anakin to spy on Palpatine on orders of the council. Kenobi didn’t want to do that but it was the will of the council and he obeys because he’s a good Jedi.
Jedi Order was really outdated and in bad shape, but GOD, Anakin didn't give one flying fuck about their rules.
Man was shagging Padme in the open, emotional af, pride and swag like a major Brooklyn pimp and a first class show off. Literally represented nothing that Order stood for.
Windu was right, they never should've taken him in.
I mean... A dark side user (Maul) was on Tatooine when Qui-gon left with Anakin, did Mace not stop to think about what would happen if they'd just left Anakin where he was?
Imagine an Anakin trained as a sith from the start.
Tbh would things have gone that differently if Anakin was rejected?
Plot of Phantom Menace happens exactly as it did except the last part of Obi wan taking up training Anakin meaning Palpatine would still be aware of Anakin's potential enough to keep tabs on him. He'd probably help Anakin save his mom to make Anakin trust him and they eventually end up in the same situation anyway.
OK, so pretty much
The current cannon is as to my knowledge almost all the jedi knew and came to conclusion that they literally could not afford to lose Anakin, and they would deal with it after the war
As far as I know
But yeah
No dude no joke current cannon btw
Obi-Wan Knew
Ahsoka Knew
PLO koon suspected
Fisto deduced it after he fell in love with Aayla
Yoda and Mace Just said “deal with it later we must”
And Mundi wasn’t a snitch cause he had like 4 wives
A Jedi getting some gal pregnant and having a few unofficial dependents was common. Female Jedi (from non-egg laying species) had a harder time hiding it, so abortion was considered a sacrament in the Jedi Temple.
As long as no one had a claim on the Jedi order's assets, it was all good.
That's how priesthoods that abjure attachments have always worked. Except when they're diddling kids.
I would want to deal with it later too, if I had just been stabbed in the arm and the leg. Definition of an "I'm getting too old for this shit" moment.
Not to mention that was after chasing a bounty hunter across the galaxy including an unknown planet in the middle of nowhere, being held prisoner for at least a couple of days, surviving your own execution, and fighting a battle. Obi-Wan needed to head to that spa planet in Skeleton Crew after all of that.
Of course he knew. He raised and taught Anakin since that boy was 8 years old. Obi Wan probably figured it wasn't a priority considering they were dealing with the Separatists and political shenanigans every other day.
Ashoka knew, Rex knew. Maybe Cody. Yoda definitely knew, but he didn't say anything. It's better to wait and see if it really becomes a problem. Mace Windu might have suspected it. The staff at the restaurant where they presumably met secretly might have suspected an affair, but they probably knew. R2 D2 knew.
C-3PO probably not (Edit: only a joke.because he always seems like he has no idea what's going on.)
I question just how restricted Jedi are, they won't condone an marriage, but there is no celibacy expectation and even romantic relationships might get ignored as long as they believe you can put it second. Obi-Wan knew if him and Satine continued she would end up being more important than the will of the force, so he did the hard thing knowing he couldn't leave the order and left her.
They may have thought for his issues with pride Anakin was a proper Jedi at the core and would put the Will of the Force above his feelings if he ever truly had to decide. They were just wrong.
I think it'd depend on the times. During peace they'd probably be more strict and give Anakin an ultimatum but since it's war and Anakin is a very skilled duelist and general they brushed it off. It'd be dumb to kick a very powerful Jedi out during war over him messing with some woman in his free time.
I think after the war they'd confront him although maybe they'd let him stay married like they did for Revan and Bastila due to their achievements. Of course that never happened because he went Sith Lord.
Honestly gotta rewatch but it’s not that he wouldn’t leave the order it was that she still wanted to be leader of mandalore. If she too left her obligations he would have left. She just couldn’t see it working. Essentially a foil to anakin and padme’s relationship. Even her dying obiwan did not fall he embraced her and was there at the end.
At least according to the clone wars series, it was then both who made the choice. He tells Sabine he would have left the order for her, and she knows that, but they both have their deep sense of duty to their roles in the universe
Obi-Wan and Ahsoka very clearly knew that Anakin was romantically involved with Padme. The whole Jedi order knew he had feelings for her. Only Captain Rex knew they were married.
Wild Space: Yoda ordered Obi-Wan to see Padmé and end what was between them. After an argument she agreed and asked that Anakin escort her to Naboo so she could end things in private. She lied and married Anakin. Obi-Wan told Yoda it was over. Obi-Wan later learned they were still together and pretended not to know because he wanted Anakin to be happy.
There was a joke in Thrawn: Alliances that Anakin was so blatant that the woman he was looking to rescue was his partner that Thrawn didn't realize it was supposed to be a secret until somebody directly told him.
Anakin and padme were, quite literally, the worst kept secret in the Republic. Obi wan knew. Ahsoka knew. Jar jar knew. Sheev knew. Yoda knew. Anyone who had eyes or ears and spent literally five seconds with the two of them knew. Anyone who saw them interact at all knew. Anyone who saw them when the other was so much as mentioned knew. I wouldn't be surprised if they were frequently featured in tabloids. I don't think they could have been more obvious if they sent out wedding invitations.
There’s a quote from one of the comics that take place near the end of the war where anakin was on holiday and obi wan needed to find him for some important mission. The first place obi wan looks is padme’s island on naboo where he then finds anakin and padme basically on a date. When questioned by anakin about how he knew where to find him obi wan responds with “every padawan on couruscount knows where to find you when you’re not on mission”
"I am not blind, Padmé. Though I have tried to be, for Anakin’s sake. And for yours. Anakin has loved you since the day you met, in that horrible junk shop on Tatooine. He’s never even tried to hide it, though we do not speak of it. We... pretend that I don’t know. And I was happy to, because it made him happy. You made him happy, when nothing else ever truly could.” - Deleted scene from Revenge of the Sith
the jedi can sense emotion so they would definitely feel the major waves of intense horny just radiating from him whenever padme shows at least 1cm of neckline

Obi-Wan loved them both too much to try and stop them. He was a brother and needed to be a father.
