Are jedi evil

Not in the cannon. The person below believes that the evidence of the movies shows them to be evil. Whether this is the case or not I don't want to argue. I believe your question refers to the intent of the creators rather than the good vs. evil of the individuals portrayed in the movies. The Jedi are meant to be a force for "Good" rather than evil. They are meant to be the light to the Sith's dark.

yes, jedi and sith alike are both evil, although in the saga they are made out to be against evil, they harbour great distaste for many beings, they have caused devastation on many worlds, along with sending thousands of soldiers to fight their battles and die, this evidence suggests they are evil, although they are campaigning for justice and freedom, they are inflicting more damage than they are worth.
