Anakin was not buying the explanation about the Council and their reaction to his feelings about his mother.

“They wouldn’t have rejected me if I had no concern or attachment to my mother and you know it. I was there, I remember what I felt from them. It was enough to keep me out of the Order, because Jedi aren’t supposed to feel anything when the person they care most about has been left in a terrible situation. And that rule is so inflexible, even prospective Force-sensitive children must abide by it without knowing it exists or any training to help them follow it before they’re even considered for acceptance into the Order. Or maybe that was just me they expected to be perfect at nine.”

A sardonic smile spread on his face. “Okay, you’re right. Jedi have emotions. They rejected me out of fear. But at nine, I was the one just showing emotions and they were the ones letting their emotions influence their actions.”
