Yes and no. More often than not Jedi have a wagon train of Jedi fanboys grouped with them and will attack you meaning you'll need the armor. If you're sure they're solo then remove the armor but at least wear some hawtpants. Killing Jedi while wearing hawtpants is the true mark of the master.

I have only fought a Jedi once when I was buffed and unarmored. The Jedi was alone, so i didn't have to worry about any gank squad. I remember that this question was asked a while ago, but I PvP so rarely, I wasn't paying total attention. As i recall, there was something about since the armor was coded to have no resistance to a light saber, you take take more damage because the armor takes precedence over attributes/mods. Not wearing armor leaves the toughness factor in, but removes the rule that "armor must absorb damage first." I think the conclusion is, that you actually take less damage while fighting a Jedi with armor unequipped.

Now I know that was the must un-eloquent paragraph ever, so if someone could state that in a better fashion, or tell me if that's totally incorrect, I'd appreciate it

Taking off armor is QUITE quick actually, if you just replace it with clothing. Instead of removing armor, i wear pants, shoes, duster and gloves, which leaves only my helmet on, and takes < 1 second. You can also have some decent BE stats added to the clothing, which could help with the jedi.

To summarize:

If you are sure the jedi are alone or you are dueling them, take the armor off.

If the jedi are grouped with someone or you think they might be, leave iton.

um... you will (in all the encounters i have had with jedi, which are many) always be better off wearing no armor EVEN with a couple fanboys trailing along when facing jedi. The regen rates make a HUGE difference, in fact, when i was at full strength (i.e. not mostly full from a recent death and especially when im mind buffed) i cant recall losing a duel to a jedi. I know quite a few who are either masters or simply switching some of their templates around, but are almost complete.

In short, when dealing with jedi, the only time one should wear armor is when there are 3+ other guys with them who are NOT jedi (otherwise you are going to easily die to the jedi's lightsaber which btw is not stopped by armor in the least (if the armor had LS resists, which none has, then it would work against you because of light ap)).
