Mickey Mouse Mickey Mouse , also known as Jedi Mickey , was a pint - sized male Jedi Master who belonged to a species of sapient mice . On occasion , he fought alongside the equally diminutive Yoda , the Grand Master of the Order . During the Clone Wars , he assisted the Galactic Republic in its fight against the Confederacy of Independent Systems , with the help of his customized Jedi interceptor and his droid partner R2 - MK . Following the end of the war , Mickey Mouse escaped the Jedi Purge and became an adversary of the newly - formed Galactic Empire . During his career , Mouse would never part with his signature white gloves , and he would customize most of his possessions with his personal crest , a stylized version of his head . Biography . Mickey Mouse , a male mouse , was born on the planet of Hyperion during the twilight years of the Galactic Republic , a government that ruled over most of the galaxy . He was Force - sensitive , meaning that he could sense and manipulate the Force , an ubiquitous and binding power that suffused the whole Known Universe . Mouse ended up joining the Jedi Order , an ancient society of warriors who maintained peace in the Galactic Republic thanks to their wisdom and special powers . With the Order , he was taught to wield the Force , and to fight with a lightsaber , a formal melee weapon that emitted a blade of pure plasma . Mouse raised in the ranks until becoming a Jedi Master , the highest formal title obtainable by a member of the Order . During his career , he often joined forces with other Jedi Knights in their battles to fight the dark forces in the galaxy wherever they were found . On at least one occasion , Mouse even teamed up with Yoda , the Grand Master of the Jedi Order himself . Mouse greatly benefited from his superior ' s erudition and understanding nature . Together , the diminutive masters proved that no warrior should be judged by their size , and that defeatism could be conquered . In the fifth month of 22 BBY , an alliance of seceding star systems known as the Confederacy of Independent Systems declared war against the Republic . During the resulting conflict , known as the Clone Wars , the Jedi were heavily called on to lead the Republic ' s newly formed Grand Army , and Mouse was no exception . Mouse was granted his own Eta - 2 " Actis - class " interceptor , in which he flew with his astromech droid partner , R2 - MK . After the end of the Clone Wars in 19 BBY , the Supreme Chancellor of the Republic Palpatine established a new regime called the Galactic Empire and undertook to eliminate those Jedi who had not perished during the conflict . Mickey Mouse , however , survived the purge of the self - anointed Galactic Emperor , and he decided to resist the oppression of Palpatine ' s Galactic Empire , using his customized interceptor to shoot down entire squadrons of Imperial TIE / LN starfighter s . During the Dark Times that followed the birth of the Empire , Mouse experienced many adventures throughout the galaxy with R2 - MK . At some point during the early stages of the Galactic Civil War , Mickey alongside R2 - MK , joined the Alliance to Restore the Republic to resist the rule of the Empire . One of his missions involved getting into a dogfight with various Imperials . He accompanied Bree Starlighter , along with the droids C - 3PO and R2 - D2 , at the unveiling of Star Tours ' first hub in the Earth system . Personality and traits . Mickey Mouse was a diminutive individual , measuring only 0 . 66 meters . He was in fact the same height as Grand Master Yoda , who would later teach to his last pupil that " size matters not . " Mouse had black hair and large eyes of the same color . When ready for combat , he would sport a wide grin and a determined frown . Equipment . He used to wear the traditional , humble trappings of the Jedi Order . He owned at least two outfits , one of which was made of a yellow tunic with cream - colored outer robes , while the other featured a beige tunic and a brown cloak . Similarly , he was known to have owned pairs of yellow and brown boots , and he used to wear a pair of white gloves at all time . The Jedi Master would customize some of his possessions with his personal emblem , which consisted of two little circles put on top of a bigger one — a design that reflected the shape of his head viewed from the front . Notably , the wings of his Jedi interceptor bore that crest , and the droid R2 - MK had been given a pair of round ears as a whimsical embellishment . Most of all , his lightsaber was very personal . Like the weapon carried by Yoda , it was shorter than a normal lightsaber to match its bearer ' s small stature , with its hilt measuring at only 14 . 00 centimeters and its blade around a half - meter . Its silver and black cylindrical hilt bore unique markings that harkened back to Mouse ' s personality . The top of the hilt featured three lines pointing toward the blade , which were reminiscent of the markings on Mouse ' s signature gloves . The activation stud was shaped like the trefoil emblem of Mouse , which itself reflected the shape of his head . Below that ignite button was also a frieze of such trefoils that went around the hilt of the lightsaber . Finally , the pommel was ornated with Mouse ' s initial in High Galactic alphabet . When activated , the weapon emitted a blue energy blade , the traditional Jedi lightsaber color . Powers and abilities . Mouse , being a Jedi Master , showed exceptional skills and devotion to the Force , as well as great talent in lightsaber combat . In spite of his small stature , he was powerful . He was also a capable pilot , as he could fly an " Eta - 2 Actis - class " interceptor . Behind the scenes . Origins .
