"Jedi must ignore their feelings." "That's quite a statement. Is it your own?" "Yes." Then the boy considered. "Well... Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan said much the same." "I think you misunderstood," Mace said. "Jedi do not ignore their feelings. They integrate them. Own them. They fear, but they are not afraid of fear. They grow angry, but they allow their anger to motivate only honorable action. Do you understand?" The boy nodded, but Mace knew he did not --yet. There was time. -Mace Windu: The Glass Abyss by Steven Barnes, pg 24

That one moment in Tender is the Flesh where Marcos is meeting with Urlet and it describes the various human heads on the wall he keeps as hunting trophies, then promptly tells us he has framed photos from before "the Transition" of hunters posing with the corpses of African people they'd hunted for sport. Murder had already been legitimized, cannibalism already existed as an industry. The world didn't go to hell after "the Transition," it just got better at branding.
