He served as a respected Jedi General during the Clone Wars, a pan-galactic conflict between the Republic and its splinter state, the Confederacy of Independent Systems. Plo Koon was a Force-sensitive Kel Dor Jedi Master who served as a member of the Jedi High Council during the last years of the Galactic Republic. " Not to me." ―Plo Koon and Clone Sergeant Sinker The time Plo Koon did this was to save Warthog who was under heavy fire, much like Anakin wanting to go back to help a clone in trouble during the opening sequence of Episode III, which brings me to my last point.Īnakin and Plo had similar ideologies and cared very deeply about the clones." Sergeant, why are you so certain no one is coming?" Clear your mind young one and you will see the pathĪlso in two separate occasions they cut their fighter's engine ( here and here) to get a better shot at the enemy. You have to feel your way through to stay on course Their similar approach to piloting was hinted in the clone wars as evident by the following conversation during the shadow squadron's journey through balmorra run.Īnakin: This is old fashioned flying. This makes me wonder how Plo would have handled Anakin's conflict during Episode III when he was overrun with emotions.īoth Anakin and Master Plo were the best pilots the Jedi order had to offer. Even Anakin looked surprised by what Plo said and actually seemed to calm himself a bit. Any other Jedi would have said they must fear the worst and Anakin should learn to let go of Ahsoka and his attachments. Plo was sensitive to Anakin's feelings and knew how to work around them- Sticking with the 'lost padawan' story arc, during their conversation in the Jedi temple,when Anakin was losing his mind, Plo calmly suggested that if Anakin has trained Ahsoka well she will find her way back to him. This scene would have been very different had Obi-Wan given the order. This was very surprising considering how protective Anakin was of Ahsoka. Anakin obeyed him with little to no resistance. Plo informed Anakin all necessary actions have been taken to find her but ordered they should leave the planet as their mission was over. Anpther example is when Ahsoka was kidnapped. Plo Koon was one of the best duelists of the order, I'd say just below or on par with Mace WinduĪnakin respected and obeyed Master Plo - There are some examples of this in the clone wars series: when Plo advised Anakin they should attack the ion cannon of the malevolence instead of the bridge, Anakin immediately changed his tactics. They were both willing to use unorthodox techniques to better themselves as Jedi (e.g electric judgement) Plo Koon was the reigning master of Form V Shien whilst Anakin was the master of Form V Dejm So It would make sense for him to take both Obi-Wan and Anakin under his wing after the fall of his friend Plo Koon had a close relationship with Qui-Gon Jinn. Plo Koon is very much like Anakin in a lot of aspects, yet he is much calmer, wiser and level headed than Anakin or even Mace. I think Master Plo Koon would have been the ideal Master. The task of mentoring Anakin should have fallen to a senior master like Mace Windu, Shaak Ti or Plo Koon. What Anakin needed was a father/mother figure. Not only was he inexperienced but he would also have been shaken and kind of lost after the death of his master. However, at the time, despite coming off a win against a Sith lord, was not ready to take on a padawan. Obi-Wan is one of the greatest in the Jedi history. ( Exclusive legends material will be in italics) I will also need to use some legends material as Plo Koon is not as explored in the new canon although the canon material is good enough to get my point across. Disclaimer: I am not in any shape or form bashing Obi-Wan Kenobi.
