Nor was it ever a "thing" in KotOR or elsewhere in the old EU. Jedis in the New Republic spent plenty of time with their families, and were not sequestered away nearly as much. Han and Leia' s kids all lived with their family until old enough to begin formal Jedi training (ie, build and use a lightsaber). One of the young trainees was even a royal heir on her home world, and spent time in diplomatic lessons and meetings, etc. (Her grandmother's idea- a very controlling grandma who was kind of a b**ch....)

The Old Republic was pretty similar, in fact it was a holocube archive that Luke used to base his teachings off of, and all his students (And later theirs) learned the Jedi traditions from it. Nothing was ever said about not having families or other relationships. That seems to have been a gradual shift that happened during the later part of Yoda' s time, before the Clone Wars but probably within just a few centuries. (Yoda was 900 by the time of RotJ so he might have remembered when that was not the case- but probably didn't care much.)
