Why Plo Koon Was the ONLY Jedi To Ever Beat Yoda In a Lightsaber Duel

Plo Koon is by far the most underrated Jedi ever. 1. One of the Greatest duelists 2. Amazing Pilot 3. Great Master. 4. Force Lighting but good 5. All around chill dude. 6. And he found Ahsoka (everyone mentioned this in the comments and yea I can't ignore this)

I fully agree also he could easily take Vader because of his electric jugement, and since Vader’s suit is extremely weak to that type of stuff

[@nytecrow6452]

I always felt Plo Koon was by far the wisest and most exceptional member of the Jedi Council. He knew when rules were too stagnant and should be bent to achieve true victory as he did many times with Anakin and Ahsoka in the Clone Wars. He was able to guide and advise against rash actions, able to understand others decisions and thoughts when they tried to explain their own reasonings. He was exceptional in combat, let alone as a Master. Take his use of Force Lightning for example. He is one of the only Jedi permitted to use it, for much the same reason Mace Windu is approved to use Vaapaad the aggressive Lightsaber style that feeds on battle revelry.

@@omnibomni7661 yeah, but it’s more than just skillset or abilities, it’s match-up. Skill is just the proper utilization of strength. Besides, it was stated that he’s physically strong, meaning he’s probably an anomaly of his race. His strength makes him able to adopt a style similar to Darth Vader. Darth Vader still had an aggressive style, but no where near as aggressive as Anakins because his cybernetic strength made up for the skill so he could focus more on the defensive side that his slower body lacked, less in canon and more in legends but still present in both. While Anakin was aggressive and played into his strengths, it left him open to counterattacks against people of his caliber. Also, while Anakin might have been the best Djem So user, the fact that Vader is better than him for adapting all forms into a singular fighting style, similar and superior to what Plo Koon did, proves my point.

[@omnibomni7661]

@@tchoythao1730 Prove Vader is > Anakin. George has multiple times stated the opposite. Prove that Anakin's form leaves him open to counterattacks from People of his calliber. Yes, Dooku struck him with lightning in season 4, but that is early 20 BBY, not Anakin in his prime. The novelasation for Rots states that Anakin is the strongest and fastets Jedi of his generation, perhaps Any, which would naturally include Plo and Yoda. Keep in mind that the Darth Bane trilogy stated that your overall force power mattered more in a fight, since force augmentation amps both your speed and strength. It doesn't matter how skilled your opponent is, if you Are too fast for them to Even register your movement. And again, when was it ever stated Plo was physically strong? I agree that he should be stronger than a normal human, do to force augmentation, but saying he is as phisycally strong as Anakin, Mace or Even Obi-wan is ridicoulous, especially when no proof of this being the case is shown. However I do agree Plo was within the top 10 of the prequel Jedi, one of the strongest members of the Council, but Stupendous Wave's reasoning is not reseanoble, since he shows no evidence to substantiate his claims.

It happened because it was a sparring match, eg a training match or one just for fun.

[@AndrewAce.]

I had an idea for what might have occured if Plo Koon had been on Coruscant during Sideous' revelation to Anakin: Plo would probably not have moved to arrest Palpatine the way Windu did. That was far too rash, and gave Palpatine the final piece of ammunition he needed to condemn the Jedi, as well as forced Anakin to choose between the Jedi and his wife. That was a bad move. Plo would have been much more tactical I believe he had the empathy that Windu lacked to be able to sense the deep turmoil within Anakin. Windu's problem is that he was sure of himself to the end, always was focused on things in the distance, like the enemy, and not the people around him like Anakin. Master Plo would stay with Anakin and counseling and reassuring him, keeping him from Sideous while putting his faith in Anakin to help him take charge of securing the safety of the Jedi Temple. He would be treated like a Master. Together they would have put all Jedi on notice, preparing for an attack. They would secretly contact trusted allies - the faithful senators at the head of the Delegation of 2000. Particularly Padmé Amidala, Mon Mothma, and Bail Organa, who alone, would be informed of the full situation, and instructed to petition the Senate to revoke Palpatine's emergency powers immediately. They would, of course, be gaurded by reliable Jedi the entire time, reassuring Anakin of Padmé's saftey. This motion from the senate would give the Jedi the ammunition they needed should Palpatine refuse or delay, especially when backed by the support of the Delegates - though it would also move the timetable up on his plan, making him more hasty and eager - Especially when combined with his prolonged seperation from Anakin after their prior confrontation and Anakin's declaration to oppose Palpatine - which would cause Palpatine to begin to suspect that the Jedi had begun their own plot, and go into meditation in order to uncover it. The timer would essentially be how long the slow-moving Senate would take to come to a decision. In this time, neither side would want to strike for risk of making an error, revealing their hand, or falling to the other side's yet unknown trap. It would essentially be a standoff - a game of chicken perhaps. How long is the other side willing to postpone their strike? Will they pull the trigger on their plan first? The first to strike doesn't necessarily win, but waiting is equally risky. With these events, the balance begins to shift towards the Light's favor. Palpatine loses insight through the Force while the Jedi gain it. He tries to discern the future, but the balance is ever shifting, and destiny rapidly flickers between outcomes. He would be stunned by the cloudiness he hasn't experienced for many years, and lose track of the situation, still trusting that he will be able to see through the veil. And this would perhaps create enough time for the Jedi to regroup slightly, which may give Yoda and Obi Wan the time they needed to complete their objectives, or at least stabilize the situations (Yoda's campaign on Kashyyk was a bit more complicated), and if the two of them were able to return, even only briefly to attend to the emergency, it would be over for Palpatine, as Anakin, Obi Wan, Yoda, Plo Koon, Mace Windu, and Kit Fisto would all abruptly move to arrest Palpatine for his treason - beating Palpatine to the punch. By the time he sensed it, it would be too late. His plan was extremely time-sensitive from the start, and Master Plo's patience, tactics, and faith in Anakin would fatally disrupt that time-table.

Having watched the OT probably hundreds of times from childhood I truly believe that Lucas did not originally envision Yoda ever having been a Lightsaber wielding warrior. People would naturally respond to that by going on endlessly about oh but the clone wars and the prequels, etc. but all of that stuff was added after the original trilogy was made. Speaking specifically only of the way the character was portrayed in the original trilogy, I think Lucas intended him to not need to be a physical jumping and running warrior at all. He is an unassuming Buddha-like character with mastery of the force itself not needing to use any physical skills for combat. I have read the well written explanations here about him being very old, having lost his light saber in the battle with Sidious, etc. but I think this is ignoring the original point of the character. Originally I truly don’t believe the character was intended to have fought with a Lightsaber. Lightsabers just became so immensely popular with fans and he wanted to wow people with Yoda has a little, whirling ball of lightsaber fury. The same goes for Darth Sidious/Emperor Palpatine. Palpatine is absolutely condescending towards Luke in ROTJ about him having a Lightsaber as the weapon of a Jedi. It seems clear that Lucas never originally intended Palpatine to have been someone to use a Lightsaber. It again had just become so popular among the fans that everyone fights with awesome lightsabers that he rewrote the character for the prequel to be such that all Sith have awesome lightsabers too. In the OT It really just seems like Vader has a light saber because he’s a fallen Jedi.

@@redstarkboxingsportsnews4289 the point of Yoda in the OT though was being powerful like a transcendental monk guru with amazing force powers who didn’t need to jump around to take you down physically like a warrior because he had mastered his force powers. He was an old Yogi, a Buddha like figure of the Jedi, not someone who was going to spin around like a top with a lightsaber. Lucas took the kitchen sink approach though in the prequels and thought it would be cool for the kids to see Yoda bouncing all around, but it doesn’t speak to the point of the character in the OT.

[@sparkyparky2906]

I also believe in the ot, Yoda says, the force is to be used only for defence, never attack, for that is the way of the jedi. (In ESB) and then they have him using an all out offensive style in the prequels. I may have loved it as a kid, but now I feel it cheapened the character. I agree, it was purely fan service.

[@hitbycars]

Plo Kloon as been my favorite Jedi since I was 11 in 1999. I'm 34 now and that has not changed.

[@TerLoki]

Anakin calling Plo Koon his equal reminds me of how Britain viewed Horatio Nelson. Anakin was defeated by Yoda, Plo Koon DEFEATED Yoda. Anakin's response? "Oh wow, this guy is as good as me!" Nelson was good, but did suffer losses in his career and was brought up in the Navy. Admiral Yi Sun Sin, on the other hand, was trained in warfare on land, was undefeated despite being outnumbered (sometimes as many as 25 to 1), and basically stopped the Japanese invasion of Korea when no other Admiral or General could. British sources said he was "possibly" Nelson's equal.

[@AmaryIIion]

He was able to best him once and only able to do so because it was only training. Yoda would 100 percent defeat him if he wanted.

[@daddystamkos5900]

[@AmaryIIion]

@@daddystamkos5900 you don't know whether he was trying or not, same with yoda. I'd have to find it again and I don't care enough because yoda was 900, not much beats that kind of experience other than connection to the force and plo wasn't like anakin so objectively its obvious who is better.

[@aykay6778]

Qui Gon was above them all in the spiritual sense . He knew that the balance of the force required one to move away from the Jedi train of thought and appreciate a more balanced way with non Jedis etc . wish they made a series on him.

[@heavygrass2895]

love the fighting style break down. great video.

[@Stay-xb9id]

But if Yoda wanted to kill PLO koon he could. A friendly duel can't tell the truth, you have to want the blade to actually hit yo opponent to tell the truth. Meaning Yoda had to be holding back a little. Just like sidious didn't hold back against windu because if you an enemy of the Jedi , you have to want windu dead and out the picture. His power was rising just like Anakin's over the clone wars.

[@personplayz3016]

yes but plo must have also been holding back

[@nobodycares99]

Aye if we're doing a deep dive, how did he win? Holding it to Yoda's throat? Cutting his light saber? Fatiguing him? Either way great feats, for not going for the kill.

[@Stay-xb9id]

@@nobodycares99 by Yoda not moving as fast as he actually could, not jumping around going high and low. Plus Yoda beat 3 of the council members without a light saber using pure speed and technique powered by the force. If he use a lightsaber they would be dead.

[@silentalliance3269]

Ive always loved PLO Koon as a Jedi as much as Qui Gon PLO had a very wise way of thinking that wasn’t as strict as many other Jedi masters or padawans. I imagine he had had as much power as Qui Gon and he was very swift and had crushing power when he wanted to be I mean PLO’s master Kel Dor was like Plo and one of the most powerful Jedi ever really….in amongst others..but he was so under-utilised!!

I remember a friend in highschool said that he thought i was kinda like that one jedi with the mask and i knew who he was talking about but forgot his name at the time now looking back i take that as a huge complement especially since he was my favorite jedi besides obiwan as a kid technically according to one of the test i did by layas lair i did get form 3 so maybe we are similar ....

I got form 1. Form 3 is Obi wan's form and it focuses more on defense. Form 1 is about disarming not killing and usually meant for multiple opponents. Also kit fisto mastered form 1 to the point of almost beating people like general grevious In a fight. General grevious got away but he was winning and would of succeeded if grevious didn't manage to get away.
