[Star Wars] How do Jedi justify bringing children (padawans) to battle?
gpt
By the time the padawans are actually brought into battle, they're very well trained so it's not like they're bringing in civilians to fight. In addition, they're bringing in students who are at their youngest, early teenagers. Not actual children.

In addition to all that, the Clone Wars was an all hands on deck situation. If they could afford to leave trained fighters behind, they would have. All personnel that could wield a lightsaber were out there, or if they weren't, they were back at the Temple either guarding it, or training the next generation of Jedi.
