What did Mace Windu mean by this? I mean, in what other fashion would the Jedi defend the Republic and keep peace, and not be so involved in battle?įor example, on one end of the spectrum you have Qui-gon and Obi-wan going on (what they thought to be) a diplomatic mission in Episode I and then, at the other end, we see Obi-wan (and other Jedi) leading military operations in other films, like Episodes I, II and III. Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones script We are keepers of the peace, not soldiers. there aren't enough Jedi to protect the Republic.
