Respect Plo Koon

This RT is divided into different categories (Telekinesis, Telepathy, etc), from there divided by canon status (G-Canon, T-Canon, C-Canon, S-Canon, N-Canon, LEGO Canon, and, last and certainly least, Disney Canon), and from there into chronological order.

I learned the hard way that there's a character limit in SI, so the RT will be split into at multiple parts. The first part (this one) will go into his general accolades surrounding his power and telekinetic abilities.

But a Jedi's real strength and power has always come from an ability to tap into and manipulate the Force.

Hardly anybody could withstand a fully trained Jedi such as Plo Koon.

Tistura Paan nodded. She sat on one of the foam circles and, by gesture, invited Luke and Ben to do likewise. They complied. She said, “Over the centuries, many of the Koon family have been Baran Do. The Force runs strong in that line, as, it is said, in the Skywalker line.

The New Essential Guide to Characters wrote:Koon could employ the Force Push ability without needing to face his target, manipulated the environment to create fog or ice, and even employed the controversial finger-lightning technique, which Koon called “Electric Judgement.”

44 BBY

Plo Koon uses electric judgement for the first time, knocking out Pommel.

Jedi vs Sith: The Essential Guide to the Force (recorded by Plo Koon) wrote:The suite was spacious, and I was separated from Pommel by a distance of fifteen meters. Keeping an eye on me, Pommel began pulling the crying girl- I estimated her to be five years old- out through a wide doorway, beyond which I could see a small ship that rested on the suite's private landing pad. Obviously, his intent was to escape, and he considered the child his insurance. I had no reason to doubt that he would eventually kill her, even if i allowed them to board the escape vessel, for I could see what he'd done to the girl's parents and two siblings, whose bodies lay upon the floor of the inner suite.

In hindsight, there were many possible tactics I might have employed to apprehend Pommel and rescue the child, but I did not consider any options or calculate angles of attack as I watched him drag her toward the ship. I believe I acted instinctively when I extended my right arm toward Pommel and released a barrage of lightning.

I know that the Jedi Council was hesitant to send me on any assignment so soon after the death of Master Tyvokka, but I did not let loose with Force Lightning the way undisciplined beings might release stress. Like other Jedi, I learned of Force lightning at the Jedi Temple, and I am well aware that it is regarded as a dark side power. I never had any special interest in Force lightning, or felt compelled to experiment with it, but I knew it was- at least in me- an innate ability. I did not feel anger as I directed the lightning at Pommel's head, nor did I fear for the girl's safety. I was calm and in control of my faculties. I merely acted to end the situation before any more innocents died.

Upon being struck by the first bolt, Pommel reacted as anticipated as the shock seized his system. His arms flew out and away from his body, releasing both the blaster and the child, who fell to the landing pad. A second bolt ensured that Pommel would remain unconscious until local authorities arrived. I was never tempted to deal a killing blow.

Upon my return from Metellos, my use of Force lightning was included in my report to the Jedi Council. I maintained that I did not embrace the dark side when I used this ability, and that I acted by the will of the Force.

I appreciate the Council's concern with my report. I have not forgotten that is was Master Tyvokka's last wish that I join the Council. I also acknowledge the Council's observation that the Force runs strong in my family. My uncle was a Jedi Knight, as is my niece Sha Koon. While Kel Dors like ourselves have a reputation for seeing moral issues in black and white, I urge the Council to disregard my family in this situation, for I alone am responsible for my actions.

The Council asked me to contemplate whether I would hesitate to use Force lightning again, and whether I was wrong to employ it on Metellos. After much meditation, I believe it would be wrong of me to ignore this power that I might develop into a useful technique for combat. As for whether I was wrong to use it, I believe the only person who can rightfully answer that question is a five-year-old girl. Her name is Claria Labreezle, and she has been placed with relatives at Stratablock 7 on Metellos. May the Force be with us all.

40 ABY

Fate of the Jedi: Outcast wrote:“Though I have lived among humans for many years, some of the differences between our ways choose not to fade into irrelevance. The electroencephaloscan, for example, would be considered a grave and very personal intrusion by my find. Fortunately, my order knows of a means to keep even it at bay. Unfortunately, when utilizing it, we cannot determine that we have functioning brains."

These abilities include:

Fate of the Jedi: Outcast wrote:”Well, then. The technique you asked to learn is the ayna-seff technique of thehassat-durr family. In our language, the term hassat-dur means ‘lightning-rod.’”

“Why do you call it that?”

“Because if you are not absolutely perfect in your mastery of the technique and perform hassat-durr during a storm, you will be repeatedly struck by lightning and killed."

Despite himself, Luke laughed. “You’re kidding. Right?”

She shook her head. “The hassat-durr techniques suffuse your body with a very low level of electromagnetic radiation. You produce the radiation as an interaction between the Force and your own mental influence over your central nervous system. The energies a student produces early in his study of the technique attract lightning much like a lightning rod. It is for this reason that this skill, like that of dismantling explosives, is best perfected before it is attempted in the field.”

“Other than scrambling brain scans and permitting a rather difficult-to-solve form of suicide by lightning, what do the other hassat-durr techniques do?”

“They can disable one’s own prosthesis and electronic implants, can interfere with shock shackles, can cause one to be perceived by animal senses as something terrible or something inoffensive, and can allow one to act as a very effective range-boosting antenna for comlinks. And other uses.”

Unharmed, the students shouted cries of "tyranny and oppression" and "free Baby Ludi" as they were delivered to Judicial holding pens.

At 0700 yesterday morning, a sociology tour group from the University of Coruscant entered the Temple's public lobby. They then unleashed pre-programmed graffiti-bombs with such messages as "Broodsnatchers!", "Baby Ludi Wants Her Mom," "Justice, Peace & Kidnappings" and logos of the People's Inquest movement in the polished interior.

Two younger Jedi Padawans attempted to contain the activists, but were unwilling to injure them with their brandished lightsabers. The unruly mob pushed into the Second Atrium when Jedi Masters Ki-Adi-Mundi and Plo Koon arrived.

"Disperse immediately," commanded Koon. "You are likely to injure yourselves if you continue, and we do not want that to happen."

"We will disperse immediately," repeated the crowd, uniformly, "We are likely to injure ourselves if we continue, and you do not want that to happen."

Jedi Padawans then affixed the students with handbinders, by which time Judicial officials arrived with a transport speeder. The students were loaded into the speeder, by which time the Jedi trance had worn off, and they again became agitated.

As it has important implications for Plo Koon's standing relative to the other Jedi in terms of combative prowess, I thought it worth including another part to the Respect Thread to make note of his authority and reputation among the other Jedi Councilors. Respect Plo Koon!

Plo Koon is a permanent member of the Council of Reconciliation.

Starships and Vehicle Collection #66 (De Agostini) wrote:His abilities as a diplomat saw him take a permanent place on the Council of Reconciliation, which worked to organize and oversee negotiations within the Galactic Senate.

Plo Koon is a Senior Member of the Jedi High Council.

Mysteries of the Jedi (2011, Elizabeth Dowsett, Shari Last) wrote:Plo Koon is a senior member of the Jedi Council. This stern Jedi Master is known for making fast decisions. Plo's ability to act quickly makes him both a fierce warrior and a fearsome starship pilot.

Plo Koon is one of the most respected members of the Jedi Council.

Fact File #123 (2004, Chris Spitale, Jane Irene Kelly) wrote:

44 BBY

Plo Koon had already been offered a seat on the Jedi High Council, and needed only claim it to join.

Starship and Vehicle Collection #66 (De Agostini) wrote:On the verge of becoming a Jedi Master in his own right, Koon was offered a position on the Jedi Council. However, he was still considering the offer when he travelled with his former Master to help negotiate peace between Iaco Stark, a pirate of renown, and the Trade Federation, among others. Unfortunately, the peace conference was sabotaged and, in the resulting fight, Tyvokka was gunned down. With no time to mourn, Master Plo brought the remaining Republic forces together and led an incredible reverse in fortunes that saw the Republic win through. On his return to Coruscant, Plo Koon was formally named Jedi Master and took his position on the Jedi Council in honour of his late Master.

When Plo Koon at last joins the High Council, he takes Tyvokka’s seat as a permanent Councilor, and is considered one of the more prominent members.

The Clone Wars Campaign Guide (2009, J.D. Wiker, Patrick Stutzman, Rodney Thompson) wrote:Following the Stark Hyperspace Wars, Plo Koon receives his promotion to Jedi Master and is offered a permanent seat on the Jedi High Council in honor of his Master’s dying wish. Although he feels that many others are more deserving, he nevertheless accepts the honor.

The Complete Star Wars Encyclopedia (2008, Pablo Hidalgo, Steven J. Sansweet) wrote:In the ensuing firefight, Master Tyvokka was killed when the Trade Federation’s battle droids opened fire into the melee. His place on the Jedi Council was taken by his apprentice, Plo Koon.

Fact File #123 (2004, Chris Gardner, Rich Handley, Matthew Harvey, Iain Lowsen, and James McFadden) wrote:A COUNCIL OF WAR: During the build-up to the Clone Wars, Plo Koon was a prominent member of the Jedi Council, having taken the place of his Master, Tyvokka, following the Wookiee’s death.

33 BBY

Like Micah Giiett, Plo Koon is an esteemed Jedi Master.

Fact File #111: SWA 2 (2004, Chris Spitale) wrote:

Plo Koon is on the Council of Reconciliation.

Cloak of Deception (2001, James Luceno) wrote:Many held the opinion that Qui-Gon would have been seated on the council, if not for his penchant for bending the rules and following his own instincts--even when those instincts conflicted with the combined wisdom of the council members. This had not endeared him to his loftier peers. In fact, rather than treat him like a peer, they viewed his unwillingness to amend his ways and accept a seat on the council as a further sign of his incorrigibility.

The Reconciliation Council was made up of five members-- though rarely the same five--and today there were only four on hand: Jedi Masters Plo Koon, Oppo Rancisis, Adi Gallia, and Yoda.

Power of the Jedi Sourcebook (2002, J.D. Wiker, Michael Mikaelian, Jeff Grubb, Owen K.C. Stephens, James Maliszewski) wrote:Months before the Battle of Naboo, Master Koon sat on the Reconciliation Council when Qui-Gon reported the destruction of the Trade Federation freighter Revenue.

32 BBY

Plo Koon is a Lifetime member of the Council.

The Complete Star Wars Encyclopedia (2008, Pablo Hidalgo, Steven J. Sansweet) wrote:At the time of the Battle of Naboo, the Council consisted of the following:

• Lifetime members: Mace Windu, Yoda, Oppo Rancisis, Plo Koon, Yarael Poof.
  Long-term members: Eeth Koth, Even Piell, Depa Billaba, Saesee Tiin.
  Limited-term members: Ki-Adi-Mundi, Yaddle, Adi Gallia.
  

22 BBY

Plo Koon is one of the senior members of the Jedi High Council.

Attack of the Clones junior novelization (2002, Patricia C. Wrede) wrote:Yoda approved of the windows, but the rest failed to impress him. Earned it, the Chancellor certainly had -- no one could say he had not worked hard for the Republic and for peace. But Jedi preferred simpler surroundings, though none of the senior members of the Jedi Council who had come to discuss the situation with Chancellor Palpatine would ever have said so. The luxury made Yoda's ears twitch.

"I don't know how much longer I can hold off the vote, my friends," the Chancellor told the four Jedi facing him. His soft voice sounded tired. "More and more star systems are joining the Separatists."

Plo Koon is one of the top-ranking Jedi.

Plo Koon is noted to lead his fellow Jedi to victory during the Battle of Geonosis.

Hasbro: Plo Koon action figure wrote:A member of the Jedi Council, Plo Koon uses special equipment to protect his sensitive eyes and nostrils from the oxygen-rich atmosphere of Coruscant. With his extensive grasp and control of the Force, he leads the Jedi into battle on Geonosis.

The Clone Wars Campaign Guide (2009, J.D. Wiker, Patrick Stutzman, Rodney Thompson) wrote:Plo Koon survives the Battle of Geonosis, although he and fellow Jedi Master Ki-Adi-Mundi are captured while trying to disable the droid control ship and escorted to the arena to be executed with the rest. After helping lead the Republic to victory that day, Plo Koon is given the rank of general, directing his troops through the battle of Brentaal IV and the Battle of Rendili.

Plo Koon leads the Battles of Ywllandr, Brentaal IV and Rendili.

Plo Koon is again on the Council of Reconciliation.


-Republic #71 (2004, John Ostrander, Jan Duursema)

After Yoda, Mace Windu, and his master, Obi-Wan Kenobi, Plo Koon and Ki-Adi-Mundi are the foremost among Councilors whom Anakin was excited at the prospect of sitting near.

Revenge of the Sith novel (2005, Matthew Stover) wrote:"Anakin, I am asking you-as a personal favor to me, in respect for our long friendship-to accept a post as my personal representative on the Jedi Council." Anakin blinked. He blinked again. He said, "Me?"

"Who else?" Palpatine spread his hands in a melancholy shrug. "You are the only Jedi I know, truly know, that I can trust.

I need you, my boy. There is no one else who can do this job: to be the eyes and ears-and the voice-of the Republic on the Jedi Council."

"On the Council . . . ," Anakin murmured.

He could see himself seated in one of the low, curving chairs, opposite Mace Windu. Opposite Yoda. He might sit next to Ki-Adi-Mundi, or Plo Koon-or even beside Obi-Wan! And he could not quite ignore the quiet whisper, from down within the furnace doors that sealed his heart, that he was about to become the youngest Master in the twenty-five-thousand-year history of the Jedi Order...

Plo Koon is a Senior Member of the Jedi High Council.

Revenge of the Sith novel (2005, Matthew Stover) wrote:He moved slowly into the center of the circle of brown-toned carpet, and turned toward the Senior Members.

Yoda was unreadable as always, his rumpled features composed in a mask of serene contemplation.

Mace Windu could have been carved from stone.

Ghost-images of Ki-Adi-Mundi and Plo Koon hovered a centimeter above their Council seats, maintained by the seats' internal holoprojectors. Agen Kolar sat alone, between the empty -hairs belonging to Shaak Ti and Stass Allie.

Obi-Wan sat in the chair that once had belonged to Oppo Rancisis, looking pensive. Even worried.

Plo Koon is very consistently listed as a Lifetime Senior member of the High Jedi Council, from his induction onto it until the Order's destruction, as well as a permanent member of the Council of Reconciliation. Either officially or unofficially, most other High Councilors cede authority to Koon. He is universally held as one of the most respected Jedi on the Council, and his status as a legendary Jedi Master is undisputed.
