Are Jedi Knights Overpowered?

There are many in the SWTOR community that believe that Jedi Knights, and their Imperial counterparts the Sith Warriors, are overpowered in PVP and that there is no reason to ever play a different class.  The last statement must be false simply on the grounds that Jedi Knights are tanks or DPS and nothing more, but the idea has been floating around the Internet that says 8 Jedi Knights against a mixed group of 8 classes in a warzone would end in the Jedi slaughtering everyone.  I’m not sure if this is true as I didn’t play a Jedi in beta, but many that did tend to agree.

I’ve been looking all over the Internet at opinions on the Jedi, and fortunately I found a video that clearly shows the superiority of the Jedi over any ranged class, and possibly all classes period.  Before choosing a class at launch you need to watch this video.
