It was actually said that Plo Koon was the ONLY sole Jedi to vote against Ahoskas banishment. As in the scene right before they announce their decision, they say that “thou we are not all on agreement”.

[@omargutierrez1856]

I thought Obi-Wan was also opposed to it?

[@chrispetersen910]

I'd like to think that Plo Koon, Obi-Wan, and Yoda were the members who voted against Asohka being kicked out of the order. Yoda, being Grand Master had to deliver the news. I think Yoda saying that they were not in agreement was his way of saying you are alone, and I am here for you.

[@sosopath]

Your right straight from Dave filoni yoda, obi, plo all had her back

[@MLGProTroller]

@@chrispetersen910 If that was the case, she wouldnt have been expelled as that would make majority. One of those people voted against Ahsoka, as they would have to. Not sure if it was Obi-Wan or Yoda, I just know it wasn't Plo Koon.

[@chrispetersen910]

@@MLGProTroller There were 12 Jedi on the council. 3 of 12 is definitely not a majority. So, what I said could be valid, in regards to the 3 of them being the dissenting votes.

[@astrocatb.cosmocat3076]

It annoys me that Plo Koon died in starfighter ambush. Because by watching the video it's clear to me Plo Koon would've most definitely been a to survive Order 66

[@wohaandissanayake8580]

I like to think that Plo Koon survived Order 66, following similar logic to Mace Windu surviving the fight with Palpatine.

[@ThyofBNWY]

​@@wohaandissanayake8580bro was blown to bits

[@hoyinny]

I actually like the idea. The idea that a character of impeccable character and skill being ambushed in transit and shot down before they have the chance to respond feels very realistic compared to giving every single ‘golden boy’ a glorious last stand/ heroic sacrifice death.

[@astrocatb.cosmocat3076]

true. very true🤔@@hoyinny

[@hsdgfasdg5646]

Same here. When I first watched that scene, it didn't mean much to me as I hadn't yet known anything about him. But after seeing content like this, he was definitely a wasted character.

[@forsagebone]

Honestly, my only complaint about Plo Koon's character is that there wasn't enough of him. I wanted more when I watched Clone Wars

[@grandmofftarkin6961]

A blue lightsaber he may have, but it'll always be yellow for me when I think of him. He suits it more. Love this fella Plo.

[@elliotkingaby5312]

Same. He's been my favourite jedi since I was a kid reading the comics and books. They should have given him his Gold saber.

[@decay79]

Plo Koon has been my favorite since the Clone wars, there's just a great style to his personality that i really like.. Calm, focused, gentle & yet strong and ferocious when needed to be.

[@THE_MASTER46]

koon is the egoat

[@homemadecringeycontent6363]

*And* he looks cool as hell on top of all that!

[@BotanRice]

and he looks badass

[@PumpkinPain]

Everyone wants Mace Windu to have secretly survived the purge but I want Plo Koon

[@thelowground7741]

Same, although his situation was far less survivable than mace's

[@PumpkinPain]

@@thelowground7741 True and fair

[@MetalfaceFra]

It would make sense for both to survive as they were both one of a kind, Mace windus association to the dark side of the force that made his Saber purple is kind of similar to koon's yellow lightnings.

[@frankieseward8667]

​he might have been able to had he used force breath to eject before the crash, though he would've needed some serious luck to not only escape but heal as he lilely had major burns. It is possible but requires alot of force aid

[@mistah3687]

Plo Koon was such a masterful Jedi that he’s one of if not the only one to successfully create force lightning for the light side. That takes an incredible amount of talent force prowess to do.

[@elliottnovak7144]

Oh I didn't know that! Awesome!!!!

[@ad3l547]

Isn't force lighting basic force technique ? Everyone can do it, but in the Jedis many combat forms there is no utility.

[@donaldtrumpscat2443]

I heard that Plo was the only jedi to beat Yoda in lightsaber combat on a regular basis. This is due to his combat style, which is very skilled and also the perfect counter for Yoda's Ataru jumping.

[@masterpalladin]

he had the advantage ...but still cant deny he was a great duelest and force user.....he may have been the battle or weapon master as to explain his skills as a duelist......or possibly a jedi watchmen

[@Harry-Murphy]

​@@masterpalladinHe was a Jedi Guardian

[@hsdgfasdg5646]

And he was also proficient in the Ataru style as well

[@chengkuoklee5734]

I heard his race has affinity in telepathy, perhaps that gives him slightly advantageous edge during dueling?

[@mxyzptlk1616]

They're depicted training together once and by best Yoda, you mean was able to touch Yoda. It was a training game. No one could lay a hand on Yoda except Plo. He figured out a way once

[@eviljigglypuff2254]

Plo is stupid underrated. He taught what might be the best. Ahsoka? Bs death though. Cheap move empero

[@Sparked-Out]

Plo Koon has been my favorite since the malevolence arc. "You're not expendable to me" | also first :)

[@Cryptic62637]

Same

[@Clucks_chicken]

Same bro

[@abhikergaming7783]

I love Plo koon. he to be honest would have been a far better mentor for Anakin as he wouldn't just shut down his emotions and make them feel obselete, but he'd also teach him not to be completely blinded by them. I in general love Plo Koon, how he treats Anakin, the clones, Ahsoka and everybody in general makes him one of my favorite characters

[@Lorem_ipsum2028]

I would've loved it if plo Koon survived order 66 he wasn't my favorite, but he was definitely on the list of most liked jedi

[@patrickhuber8630]

probably his compassion for all living things, even the "expendable" clones makes him my favorite, also his unique abilities set him apart.

[@junsake2797]

10:10 this is actually one of the most memorable actions of plo koon that made him and the wolfpack my favorite jedi-trooper duos. (also Plo's Bros LOL)

[@ryth-2401]

Dave decided Plo Koon needs to be more like Gandalf but he still feels more like Optimus Prime to me, especially how he treats his clone troopers

[@jessISaRicePrincess]

So that's why i like him so much

[@Mr-b-ryce]

Smart comparison.

[@vins8561]

Everyone loves Master Plo 😌

[@furkanbugrahanuysal6577]

Alongside that he is a prime character with his speech and standing, I must say that we love masked ones.

[@funnature8679]

Electric Judgement isn't a dark ability, it is his feeling of justice or related that brings forth those abilities.

[@KagirinaiYonaka]

It is a dark ability according to the Jedi Council at the time. At least in the beginning they thought it is.

[@smileyfawler8454]

Favourite Jedi since Phantom Menace. I just thought he looked the coolest. His backstory only adds to it.

[@Floydd_Sulok]

Underrated Jedi Master

[@Magnificent7Seven]

My favorite Jedi as well. I rather he had a yellow saber as in the old comics.

[@jeffjefferson8137]

i had a plo koon action figure with the lightsaber gauntlet. i was so confused cause i had never seen it before

[@tardif66]

Awesome video. Plo Koon has been one of my favourite SW characters ever since Jedi Power Battles on PS1. Seeing him get so much love in Clone Wars and EU has been amazing

[@DonnyZaZa]

same.

[@phillkyupers1602]

same!

[@thelastjohnwayne8726]

OMG Jedi Power Battles!! Loved that game. Plo Koon was my favorite character. He was crazy strong and that yellow lightsaber was the shyyyyt!

[@anthonylaw2109]

plo koons crash was for sure survivable as the cockpit seemed to be intact during the entire scene also given the fact he can survive the vacuum of space it would be safe to assume he can survive such a crash and he would be one of the only characters i would want to see brought back to life

[@bpuderbaugh6101]

I think it would had been really cool if they actually made Plo Koon the jedi to go after Grogu in the Mandalorian proving that he survived order 66

[@tenilledewees4617]

Me and Faloni need To talk about our shared favorite Jedi

[@Saimeren]

I've liked Plo Koon since Jedi Power Battles on the N64. lol.

[@ENDTIMESNEWSOCRACY]

that fucking amazing orange glow. still my favorite lightsaber color

[@kamakazi339]

He has always been my favorite Jedi

[@juanrosales7767]

The more I learned about Plo Koon, the more I discover that he was an absolute amazing Jedi. He is such a badass.

[@Angron_Of_Nuceria]

He is my favourite Jedi ever

[@raikaria3090]

Plo was a Guardian, a lightsabre specialist. Yet despite this he has discovered a unique force ability. That about sums up his level. He knows more of the force than force specialists

[@markanthonyona8730]

Try Kit Fisto next he's a aquatic dueling phenomenon

[@EyeKahnography]

Came here to vote up Kit Fisto. ^^^ Yaas

[@Saimeren]

I really wish he had kept his orange lightsaber.

[@dreklin]

No body. No death. PLO Koon is, and always will be the GOAT. He ejected and survived. Period.

[@angelsegreti4500]

Master Plo Koon is not dead, we want to see him alive again and tell us how he survived and remained hidden from the empire.

[@leerogish7223]

Plo being a compassionate, wise yet extremely powerful jedi master with hundreds of years of experience perfectly fits the bill of the father figure anakin needed to train him instead of the big brother figure Obi wan was who was still learning as he went as well.

[@brandonflores3718]

Plo Koon was my first ever Lego set and I love his character, one of the best Jedi to ever live :)

[@thecadester4360]

I think this is my favorite video on KZbin.

[@elliotkingaby5312]

Between his mastery of both form 5s and 4. His skill as a pilot. His tech skills, intelligents and general character and love of all lifeforms, he was probably one of the biggest threats to Palpatine. He would have been able to vanish after order 66 and fight against the empire, while being hard to track or catch. Hate the way they killed him but glad it wasnt Wolffe that pulled the trigger. I think we can all agree he was the best of the order. Would loved to have seen him survive and go on fighting and travelling with Ahsoka as they had such a bond.

[@darkness32185]

plo is such a cool dude

[@Bka321]

Georgie got the confirmed kill

[@RUBIKS_GRUB]

no wonder Plo Koon had to die to order 66 he was to good.

[@Qui-GonJinn1234]

Imagine Plo Koon and Qui Gon Jinn working together

[@spiritfox6066]

He really should have lived order 66.

[@user-oy1jw2wg6h]

I was going to be mad if how Plo Koon cares about his Clone troopers was not mentioned.

[@vipe650r]

He was better less than perfect, and maybe better than perfect. He was faithful.

[@Sparked-Out]

How does this video only have 400 views!! This is extreme quality here

[@daveshif2514]

Plo Cool's the best!

[@PWR.SHADOW]

Im very sad it was Luke we watched end of the mandalorian season 2 finale, I just wished it was Plo Koon so we can see his journey again

[@grindory]

It would have been cool if that instead of luke plo koon survived order 66 and met din djarin and trained grogu though im fone with it being luke

[@alexcovey1200]

My personal opinion is that he would have a yellow saber if he was trained during the high republic.

[@sosopath]

His premier in a video game showed him with an orange blade. He is by far the best least appreciated of all that eras jedi

[@jamesplunkett8912]

You should do Master Mace Windu next! I like him, and I made a purple lightsaber in memory of him since he was the only Jedi 💜 to wield a purple lightsaber.

[@2000s_gamerguy.]

As much as it was awesome that Mace wielded the purple lightsaber, it is not true that he was the only one to wield a purple lightsaber, darth treya, before turing to the darkside also wielded a purple lightsaber. She interesting enough, actually made a force prophecy of the mandalorians, (the race of aliens whom she hated) over Mace Windu. The prophecy was that Mace Windu would cause much of Mandalore to be scattered throughout the galaxy outside of their home planet Mandalore, and end up destroying Mandalore, after destroying Jango Fett. This actually came true, as in the beginning of Mandalorian, we see that the droids had destroyed much of Mandalore, and had taken control of it, then, with the empire, them destroying Mandalore as well. But this all had happened because Mace Windu caused the whole scattering of the Mandalorians because of Mace Windu, cutting off Jango's head.

[@rantingfatman4555]

It always made me mad that he got taken out in his ship when he should have been leading ground forces, and Saesee Tiin was taken out leading ground forces instead of in the air.

[@HOSSundHOPF_._._0]

Disney could bring him back, because i think could survive this and his Lego jet has jetpack and i have analyse order 66 and in the end therer is no glass in his cockpit anymore
