I love this post, so let me add a couple of my favorite anecdotes of Jedi doing this shit from some recent SW books:
- talking about personal possessions - Qui-Gon is shown to be something of a packrat and keeps souvenirs from all of his missions, including gifts from people he's helped
- this includes sentimental keepsakes, Yoda keeps Qui-Gon's cloak and has it with him decades later on Dagobah, Dooku keeps the comlink Jenza gave him for like 50 years before giving it to Sifo-Dyas, who seems to have also kept it (disastrously)
- Dooku and Lene Kostana even have pets they keep in their quarters and take on assignments
- Rael smokes and drinks and has sex - far from being uptight about this, Dooku is shown drinking with both his Padawans and making jokes about Rael's slutty (affectionate) ways
- Masters and Padawans are physically affectionate and describe the relationship in loving, familial terms
- Jedi actively choose to live and work together outside of formal bond - Dooku tags along all the time with Sifo-Dyas and Lene Kostana as a Padawan, Rael goes on missions with Dooku and Qui-Gon and specifically requests Qui-Gon for a mission later in life, Sifo-Dyas and Lene Kostana seem to have remained in partnership for most of their lives, decades after Sifo-Dyas was knighted...
- Obi-Wan is shown having normal, teenage thoughts about what his sexual identity even is
