Just a little thought

So what will the Jedi say to the parents when they take their baby away? Servie for the great good sounds fine, but I doubt any normal parents will just give their baby away that easily. In TCW, the mother is sad and angst about her child leaveing her even though she already give the Jedi permit to take her child. So what make she choice this?

The thing that's important to understand, and it's never made clear, is that by the time of the Phantom Menace, the Sith are urban legend to the most studious scholarly civilian. Most people have never heard of them. Consider - it's been 1000 years. By the time of A New Hope, the Jedi are largely unheard of, and that's been 19 years. Neither side really had that big of a presence to those outside of core world government when either order was at the top of their game

That makes sense. It's still pretty creepy though. (Regarding the Jedi taking children from their parents thing)

It's all in your perception of what you know. To them it's normal. To us, creepy as hell for all the wrong reasons. There are stranger things on this world that are seen as normal to some cultures.

Looking at it that way, it...definitely makes more sense. :)
