I love the idea that the Jedi are the guardians of peace and justice in the galaxy, but there are surprisingly few examples of that out there - mainly because the Jedi get sucked into the Clone Wars. I'm as much of a fan of the Clone Wars as the next guy, but I really craved seeing the Jedi doing their thing on a non-war footing. That's the great appeal of this new Jedi Knights series: We really get a chance to see what the Jedi did before the Clone Wars and their eventual fall.
Now, this is not to say that the whole series is an apologia for the Jedi. Rather, it really has to do with where I'm choosing to shine the spotlight. For the first ten or so issues of the series - which is as far as I have currently plotted - we're focusing less on the internecine issues in the Republic and more on Jedi being Jedi. Specifically, what does 'being guardians of peace and justice' truly entail?
