In many cases, they're not Lawful, and some of their actions are not Good either. Qui-gon Jinn, the supposed Jedi saint who learns how to cheat death, spends Episode I lying, cheating and stealing his way across the galaxy.Obi-Wan Kenobi lies repeatedly, disregards legitimate authority ("These are not the droids you're looking for"), and leaves the man he claims to think of as his brother to die in burning agony, rather than putting him out of his misery.Yoda, the great and wise Jedi master, shows a remarkable callousness when asked for help by a very troubled young padawan ("Mourn them do not. miss them do not."), sending the young Anakin directly to the one person who actually could help him (and, incidentally, the closest thing he ever has to a father).Mace Windu, when arresting Palpatine, initially starts with good intentions, but after defeating the Chancellor and rendering him helpless, he then casually casts aside those good intentions in favour of a summary execution, even when the nascent Darth Vader reminds him that that is not the Jedi way.Frankly, Luke is the only decent one amongst the lot of them.</blockquote>
