Precisely! The Mouse Guard are defenders of peace and justice in the Mouse Territories, too – but their job is against mouse Nature. It is not the way of the Jedi to fight. It is the way of the Jedi to live quietly and meditatively. But they can’t, because they have to defend the galaxy. It is not the way of a guardmouse to fight. It is their way to hide, escape, etc. But their duty, their job, is at odds with their nature.
I don’t know nothin’ 'bout no Clone Wars or prequels. The only Jedi I know are Luke Skywalker, Yoda, and Ben Kenobi.
