One thing I find interesting is that the Jedi do not truly represent purity and goodness. There is quite a bit of room for gray area with them. Now perhaps one might argue that their reasoning serves a higher purpose, but let me relate a few instances to you, simply from the films or the novels of the films. Qui-Gon seems to be a particular offender.

Qui-Gon lies multiple times, to Anakin ("Checking your blood for infections..."), to Watto ("I've acquired a pod in a game of chance..."), to Shmi (claiming he was a farmer in the novel).

Qui-Gon actually steals the power supply that Anakin uses in his pod from Watto's shop and does not reveal to anyone where it came from.

Obi-Wan lies about Vader being Luke's father.

The Jedi Council tries to manipulate Anakin and never help him with his concerns.

And there is more, including quotes I did not provide. I'm sure there are even things I'm not remembering at the moment. Yet these are the polar opposites of the evil Sith. Kind of interesting to me that the good guys are sometimes questionable.
