Did Lucas intend the Jedi to be so stupid in the prequels or is Lucas himself actually as stupid as they are?

They come off as stupid. But i think its to show how dogmatic they are and set in their ways like religious fanatics.

Morally superior and arrogant to the core.

If i did not know any better i would think it was a nod to certain Christians of the right wing political persuasion in our own country.

After all Anakin quotes Bush.

I get this impression, too. Of course, it's still poorly executed, what with the whole "look how cool the Jedi are with their lightsabers" thrown in alongside it.
