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.

Clone Wars Campaign Guide wrote:For over a thousand generations, the Jedi serve as guardians of peace and justice for the Republic. These masters of the Force grow and thrive alongside the Republic through the ages, dealing with crises that threaten the Republic and its citizens while maintaining peace and harmony in the galaxy.

Mysteries of the Jedi wrote:Despite the popularity of the Jedi, however, little is actually known about the inner workings of this ancient Order. Who exactly are these powerful knights?

As a Jedi Knight, Plo Koon has seemingly supernatural skills.

Star Wars Encyclopedia wrote:Jedi Knights Protectors of the Old Republic from the time it arose some 25,000 years before the Galactic Civil War, they were the guardians of justice and freedom, the most respected and powerful force for good for more than a thousand generations. The Jedi seemed to have supernatural skills, especially when wielding their lightsaber weapons. But a Jedi's real strength and power has always come from an ability to tap into and manipulate the Force.

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.

The Old Republic Encyclopedia wrote:Few enemies can match the raw power of a trained Jedi Knight. These brave champions spend their entire lives mastering the Force and testing themselves against all manner of challenges and opponents. By the time they are ready to pass their final trails to become Jedi Knights, young Jedi Padawans have already spent more time in battle than the average veteran soldier.

As a Jedi, Plo Koon is among the most powerful warriors in the galaxy.

Jedi Masters such as Plo Koon are a powerful force, and barely any non force sensitives can stand against them.

Threats of the Galaxy wrote:Jedi Masters are sent on important and dangerous missions by the Jedi Council. Whether or not a Jedi Master is encountered in the company of his Padawan Learner, he is an opponent who cannot be underestimated. Few mundane opponents can stand against the skill and ability of a Jedi Master.

As a Jedi Master, Plo Koon is one of the greatest of the Jedi, strong enough in the force to instruct a new generation.

Mysteries of the Jedi wrote:If you prove yourself to be among the most skilled and wise Jedi, then you may be given the highest honor - a seat on the Jedi High Council.

As a Senior Council Member, Plo Koon has an especially powerful connection to the Force.

Official Star Wars Fact File wrote:Although there were often some members of the Council considered to be senior to the others, these in fact had no more power, and all important decisions were always made with consultation of all 12 members. Jedi were regarded as senior only due to their connection to the Force and wisdom in interpreting its will.

Before 44 BBY

As a Jedi Knight, Plo Koon had passed the Jedi Trials, and had displayed skill with Control, Sense, and Alter.

Complete Star Wars Encyclopedia wrote:Jedi Trials The name given to series of milestones a Jedi Padawan had to successfully complete to earn the rank of Jedi Knight. Before the trials could begin, students had to first construct their own lightsaber and demonstrate proficiency in wielding it, from an offensive standpoint as well in self-defense. Among the later trials was a demonstration of facility with the three aspects of the Force: alter, control, and sense. Knowledge of the Jedi Code and its application, and the use of sound judgement were also key trials. Finally, students had to accept and complete a solo mission without instruction or guidance from their Master. The mission could be prescribed by the Jedi Council, or it could be a past mission that had demonstrated an ability to act alone. Only when all the trials were completed would the Jedi Council consider a student for promotion.

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. It is said of Plo Koon that he never grew weary of living among oxygen breathers, of having to cope with claustrophobic masks and strange faces. Me, I would grow weary of it within weeks or months.”

Basically, Plo Koon is one of the most powerful Jedi in history in both Legends and Canon. His family lineage's connection to the Force is compared to that of the Skywalker's (clearly not on the same level potential-wise, but if that's the first dynasty of Jedi that come to mind when making a comparison...). He has some of the best TK feats in the TCW medium, between throwing the Droch-class Pod Hunter and supporting the Venator bridge. Respect Plo Koon!

Electric Judgement


C-CANON


OOU

Plo Koon can use Electric Judgement.

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

Since then, Plo Koon has mastered the ability.

Jedi vs Sith: The Essential Guide to the Force (recorded by Tionne Solusar) wrote:Plo Koon was not only appointed to the Jedi Council but apparently succeeded in perfecting the technique that he called Electric Judgment.

32 BBY

Plo Koon can use Electric Judgement due to his years of Jedi training. It being called "crackling death" implies that it can be fatal.

The Ultimate Visual Guide to Characters wrote:A Kel Dor, Plo Koon can control the environment to create fog or ice.

Plo Koon can turn running water into bridges of ice, conjure fog for camouflage, make opponents faint by raising the temperature of the air around them, and more.

Power of the Jedi: Force Files wrote:Plo Koon employs his knowledge of science and physics to cause changes in the environment. He can transform a stream into an ice bridge, create a blanket of fog for camouflage, or raise temperatures that cause opponents to faint.

Plo Koon is capable of filtering the air around him to be breathable, but wears a mask instead to conserve energy.

Power of the Jedi: Force Files wrote:ANTIOX MASK

Because he does not want to expend energy filtering the air around him, Plo Koon wears these protective goggles and breathing apparatus to remove oxygen from the air he breathes.

33 BBY

Plo Koon summons fog to cover the retreat of himself and his fellow Jedi.

Hassat-Durr Techniques


C-CANON


43 ABY

Plo Koon knows of the Hassat-Durr techniques, as a Baran-Do sage.

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.”

Plo Koon himself used a Jedi mind trick to disperse a crowd of student protesters who had infiltrated the Jedi Temple.

Vehicles and Starships #66 wrote:At one point, Master Plo even had to use a mind trick to deal with supporters of the People's Inquest who had managed to gain access to the Jedi Temple on Coruscant.

Holonet News Vol 531 51 wrote:JEDI TEMPLE, CORUSCANT - A mob of 20 university students attempted to infiltrate the Jedi Temple yesterday, managing to get as far as the Second Atrium Lobby before being handily contained by Jedi. 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 a Jedi, Plo Koon is skilled with the lightsaber.

Who are the Jedi? wrote:The main weapon of the Jedi is the lightsaber, a beam of plasma that can slice through almost anything. They use their lightsabers with restraint and skill, never anger. Every Jedi guards his or her lightsaber well because their life depends on it.

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

The Old Republic Encyclopedia wrote:Few enemies can match the raw power of a trained Jedi Knight. These brave champions spend their entire lives mastering the Force and testing themselves against all manner of challenges and opponents. By the time they are ready to pass their final trails to become Jedi Knights, young Jedi Padawans have already spent more time in battle than the average veteran soldier.

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

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

Yet some Jedi might find advantage in a hybrid style that draws upon any or all forms.

As a Jedi Knight, Plo Koon had passed the Jedi Trials, and had displayed proficiency with the lightsaber both offensively and defensively.

Complete Star Wars Encyclopedia wrote:Jedi Trials The name given to series of milestones a Jedi Padawan had to successfully complete to earn the rank of Jedi Knight. Before the trials could begin, students had to first construct their own lightsaber and demonstrate proficiency in wielding it, from an offensive standpoint as well in self-defense. Among the later trials was a demonstration of facility with the three aspects of the Force: alter, control, and sense.

Plo Koon would have fought General Grievous in the outer space, and the fight would have been "awesome."

[quote=https://www.theforce.net/jedicouncil/interview/henrygilroyanddavefiloni.asp]In the original final draft script of “Destroy Malevolence”, Captain Panaka was with Padme and captured by Grievous. Grievous brutally murdered Panaka and George really liked how we did it and approved it. But alas, when the producer demanded the script be rewritten — it was without Panaka. That version also included a lightsaber duel between Plo and Grievous on the exterior of the Malevolence in space that was freakin’ awesome — but don’t get me going! Sigh.

Dave: I did some concept paintings of that fight, Plo even had a different face mask to breath in space.

Henry: That mask is Plo-Kool! FYI, the Jedi originally got on board the Malevolence using ‘the carbonite infiltration manuever’, freezing themselves in carbonite to get past droid bio scans and radiation beams. Anakin had custom built this special mask for Plo to be frozen in carbonite, but it also worked in vacuum of space.[/quote]

Plo Koon pilots a weaponless Jedi cruiser in a firefight, evading enemy blasterfire. Considering the fact that he is piloting while Micah Giiett, Lilit Twoseas, and K’Kruhk are also present, this suggests superiority as a pilot even then.

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 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
