Are Jedi Liars?

I had a friend pose an interesting assertion to me the other day: Jedi lie routinely. Not only do they lie routinely but by their own Jedi Code it's okay!

I decided to see how valid this thought was by examining each film for evidence. You can check out my findings, film by film at the following links:

Intro - One Lost Road: A Geek's Journey: Jedi Lies? - Intro
Episode I - One Lost Road: A Geek's Journey: Jedi Lies? - Episode I
Episode II - One Lost Road: A Geek's Journey: Jedi Lies? - Episode II
Episode II.V (2.5 - haha) - One Lost Road: A Geek's Journey: Jedi Lies? - Episode II.V (2.5)
Episode III - One Lost Road: A Geek's Journey: Jedi Lies?: Episode III
Episode IV - http://onelostroad.blogspot.com/2011...pisode-iv.html


Feel free to weigh in with your thoughts but please examine the evidence as presented in the films first. More to come as I fully analyze the original trilogy.

Short answer: Yes, they are. Both Yoda and Kenobi were economical with the truth in the OT and the prequel Jedi don't seem like the sort of people who'd tell the truth if it wasn't expedient.

Wow... "Economical with the truth..." That is actually the perfect way to describe it!
