I think I'll revive this thread by making a comment here. I agree the Jedi were short sighted, so much went on right under their noses (for those who had a nose). Even Yoda said many were overconfident and too sure of themselves, even the older and more experienced ones.
As for not breeding enough, apparently in the Jedi order it is forbidden to marry and as a result have children. Interesting, the same b.s. dogma is in some of today's religion. Nowhere in the bible is marriage denied if you want to serve God. The apostle Paul did mention some advantages to staying single for the time being, but it was never forbidden.
Anakin was the chosen one, he did bring balance to the Force. If a member of the Sith even exists, the Force is out of balance. After he killed the Emperor and died himself, that just left his children to re-start the Jedi training program proper, without a lot of arrogant jedi around to muck things up.
