[Star Wars] Are Jedi stupid?

It seems that in the films that there are many occasions where a Jedi  could one of their many force powers to do something that makes sense. However, they can apparently do almost God-like things but for some reason they just don't.  Of course if they used their powers in a more practical fashion the stories wouldn't be as good.

Jedi are bound by a looong list of morals, since they're supposed to be the "good guys" and pacifists, etc. Sith aren't bound by these morals, which is why they sometimes appear to have more powerful Force techniques (Force lightning, etc.) Also, every Jedi has a sort of "force barrier" preventing themselves from being harmed by Force attacks. This barrier can be broken, but does exist.
