Will Jedi wear clone armor?

Actually, I always wonderred why Jedi KNIGHTS didn't wear armour.

Even nimble Samurai's (imspiration for Obi-Wan and Vader in a new hope remember) wore armour.

Yeah Why didnt they lol, maybe because their weapons can cut through pretty much anything and they can deflect blastershots, never saw the need 😛

Well i do.

I think its highly doubtful we'll see armor-wearing Jedi. It just doesn't seem like something George would do.

I think it was OJ Simpson who said that, when he played in the NFL, he always wore the smallest amount of padding possible, since it inhibited his ability to sense his pursuers as they bore down on him. I always figured that one of the things that Force Sensitivity did was enhance this sense, and that with an Armor shell, a Jedi's ability to be acutely aware of his surroundings would be compromised. So, they'd basically be trading their ability to anticipate and dodge/deflect a blaster bolt for a suit of armor that probably wouldn't save them from that same blaster bold either. And, as mentioned before, no armor's going to save you from a lightsaber.
I dunno if this is the real answer, but I think we'd have seen some more Jedi in armor by now if there wasn't some reason for them not to use it, and that seems like the easiest explanation to me.

Yeah, kinda like what I said a page ago, but with more words. 😄

Yes and no. You made no mention of the "sixth sense" type deal, of sensing surroundings in some intuitive manner. But yeah, the rest is pretty much what you said, rephrased.

cause they are so damn good they dont need it 😂

I know they are good but they are not invincible. Remember in TPM when Anakin said "nobody can kill a Jedi". Qui Gon said "I wish that were so". They can be overwhelmed.

And if the quote isn't good enough for you, you could just reference a bit later in the film, where, you know, he's killed 😉
