I definitely agree that the Jedi Order has a lot of cult-like tendencies (especially during the prequel and kotor era). The Jedi have always come across to me as a group with good intentions, but that over time the group lost their way and gave into their fear of the Sith, hypocrisy, and corruption and forgot their true ideology.

I feel slightly uncomfortable defining them as completely cultish, because whenever you apply real-world terminology to a fantastical and exaggerated fictitious world I feel like you kind of lose sight of the original point of the universe. But the Jedi Order definitely fit the points of a cult in numerous ways and I do think, that at least in part, that was intended by George Lucas.
