Plo Koon
taken from Clone Wars Adventures: Volume 3
this Jedi Master was one of the last members of the Jedi Council. As a Padawan,
Plo Koon was trained by the Wookiee Tyvokka, until his death during the Stark
Hyperspace Wars. A Kel Dor descended from a long line of Jedi Knights, Plo
Koon was a close friend of Qui-Gon Jinn. He hoped that the human Jedi Master
would someday sit on the Council, but recognized that his friend was much too
headstrong to adjust to the Council's rigors. Being a Kel Dor, with enlarged
external sensory organs, Plo Koon's grasp and control of the Force was
incredible, and he was known among the Council for his warrior skills. Plo Koon
was noted for his efforts in rallying the forces of the Old Republic after Master
Tyvokka was killed during the Fifth Battle of Qotile. Years later, he was present
when Anakin Skywalker was first presented to the Council, and was one of the
Jedi Masters who were dispatched to Geonosis to combat the Separatists during
the opening stages of the Clone Wars. Master Koon participated in many battles,
and was nearly killed near the end of the Clone Wars when he was taken hostage
aboard the Mersel Kebir, during Rendili's attempt to secede from the Republic.
Master Koon had traveled to Rendili with Saesee Tiin, Captain Jan Dodonna, and
Anakin Skywalker, in order to ensure that the planet's fleet of Dreadnaughts was
not turned over to the Separatists. If an agreement could not be reached, Master
Koon was ordered to destroy the fleet. A bold move by Anakin Skywalker saved
the Jedi from having to eliminate the ships, and ensured that Rendili would remain
free to join the Republic. In the wake of the First Battle of Coruscant, Master
Koon was dispatched to Cato Neimoidia, where he assumed control of the
planet's forces after Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker were recalled to
Coruscant. However, when Darth Sidious revealed his true nature and killed
Mace Windu, he sent out communications to the various clone commanders to
execute Order 66. Upon hearing the order, the troops that had been supporting
Master Koon turned to open fire on him, shooting his starfighter from the sky and
killing the Jedi Master.
