For over a thousand generations, the Jedi Knights may have been the guardians of peace and justice in the Old Republic, but when it comes to telling the truth, they have shown that they are not above lying to whoever they want, whenever they need to, in order to get a job done.

While watching Episode 1, many people were surprised at Qui-Gon Jinn's nonchalance at using the force to manipulate others to further his own cause. However, anyone who has paid close attention to his pupil, Obi-Wan 'Ben' Kenobi, would have noted that the Jedi have a long- running legacy of this kind of behavior. Manipulation, deception, and many other acts of deliberate misuse of power are the hallmarks of the Jedi Knights, it seems. They are a veritable fountain of untruths!

Let us go back to the first movie, Star Wars: A New Hope, to chart the pattern of lies that Ben Kenobi seems so fond of:

"Your father wanted you to have this when you were old enough, but your uncle wouldn't allow it."

This statement is obviously untrue. How could Anakin/Vader have wanted Luke to have his old lightsaber if Vader did not even know Luke existed? And if Anakin/Vader had known about Luke, then why didn't he tear the universe apart looking for him all those years? This was obviously an attempt by Ben to give Luke a sense of entitlement and destiny, and to get him to enlist into the Jedi Knights.

"A young Jedi named Darth Vader, who was a pupil of mine until he turned to evil, helped the Empire hunt down and destroy the Jedi Knights. He betrayed and murdered your father. Now the Jedi are all but extinct. Vader was seduced by the dark side of the Force."

This is probably the most famous of lies, where Ben Kenobi twists the truth into a revisionists version of history. Faced with the fact of his own failure, Ben could not bear to tell Luke the whole truth, opting instead to set Luke up for a traumatic encounter three years later. 'A certain point of view?' Yeah, right--Jedi propaganda is more like it!
