Jedi with Speaking Roles?

Can you folks help settle a bet, please? I was just telling a friend of mine that there are very few Jedi with speaking roles in the six live-action Star Wars films, and he agreed, but he thinks that this list is incomplete:

Main Jedi Characters:
Luke
Anakin
Obi-Wan
Mace
Yoda
Qui-Gon

Secondary Jedi Characters:
Ki-Adi Mundi
Jocasta Nu

Did any other Jedi have any lines?
 
The rest of the Jedi council in the prequels, the padiwans/kids, there was a female teacher/librarian, something like that, maybe others.
 
You got me scratching my head, but I think that list is pretty complete. If you want to get technical, you could add Dooku to the list. He was known as an ex-Jedi for most of AOTC until his new affiliation was revealed.

Of course, thanks to the Clone Wars cartoons, there's been quite a few more vocal Jedi.

The female librarian is the aforementioned Jocasta. And my friend and I intentionally skipped the padawans---I think only two of them speak, BTW: Liam from AOTC and the little "twitching" kid in ROTS. However, I think you are mistaken about the rest of the Jedi Council....that was sort of the point of my discussion with my friend. Mace and Yoda yakkity-yak all the time, and Ki-Adi chimes in a few times, but the rest of the council members just give silent reaction shots.
 
isn't there someone else in the beginning of ROTS at one of their interstellar conference calls? or am i possibly getting muddled up with the Clone Wars toon?
 
I think your list is complete. Shaak Ti has a line in a deleted scene, but of course that doesn't count. If you really wanted to extend the definition of "Jedi", I guess you could add Count Dooku.

You've got it. Other than the couple of Younglings, all the other Jedi just stood around until it was time to die in numerous lame ways.

The animated Star Wars stuff makes up for this by having a shit ton of the silent movie Jedi and new one-offs say stuff, though.
