The 22nd character for the Official Sith Pacify Power Rankings is…Plo Koon!
Plo Koon Overall = 89
Jedi Master Plo Koon was an accomplished individual who was an experienced fighter as well as a dynamic starfighter pilot.
But not only was the great Plo Koon physically gifted, his intelligence and character superseded all the combat accolades the Jedi Master could ever achieve.
Plo Koon’s own Master once referred to him as “The most humble, polite, stubborn, and difficult Padawan.”.
But this is only a glimpse of Plo Koon’s character as there are numerous tales of him lending a helping hand to Jedi younglings.
Heck, Plo Koon was the one who discovered Ahsoka Tano! And she’s not even in the rankings yet?? How does that work!
Let’s find out.
Characteristics
- Inner Fortitude (Strength, 92/100)- Plo Koon’s best characteristic was his ability to connect to those young and old, strong and weak, big and small. He always gave a humanitarian-like effort to help those in need and council them whenever he could. Plo Koon had a big heart and it did not go unnoticed. His battlefield prowess is clearly evident, but his ability to reach out a helping hand is heroic.
- Combat Skill (Strength, 90/100)- It’s not everyday that you deal with a Jedi Master who is an elite swordsman as well as a very strong starfighter pilot. The versatility of Plo Koon in a conflict puts him in a unique category. Plus, you can’t ignore the fact that he was a highly successful Jedi General in the Clone Wars. From taking on pirates to destroying battle droids, Plo Koon is supremely talented in warfare.
- Wisdom (Strength, 94/100)- At the age of his death, the Kel Dor male was 363 years old. He began his journey in the Jedi Order as a Padawan and eventually worked his way up to the illustrious Jedi High Council. His knowledge of the Force was terrifically potent that it is only overshadowed by one other ability, his teaching capabilities. Whether it was giving instruction on life or teaching the ways of war on the battlefield, Plo Koon’s wisdom touched many lives.
- Honor (Strength, 87/100)-When I think of Plo Koon, his dignity and prestige are one of the first thoughts that come to mind. He’s deadly when necessary, always powerful through the Force and loved and respected almost everywhere. His humility is unparalleled, it gives you an idea why he’s so respected. Even Senators throughout the Republic seemed to be pulling for this guy! It’s not very common you see that.
- Blindness (Weakness, 65/100)- No not physically. It seems that Plo Koon was another Jedi Master that just could not see through the cloud of the Dark Side that Yoda talked about. One of the reasons he is so high on this list is because his brilliance ends here. With his inability to survive Order 66, Ahsoka Tano deserves the honor of being ranked higher than her old teacher since she was able to survive. Honestly, I don’t think Plo Koon would disagree with that statement either.
- Order 66 (Weakness, *)- When you think of everything that Plo Koon was and stood for, it is very very difficult to really find another weakness. I don’t even know if the word “weakness” is appropriate here. Maybe the word “disappointment” fits better? I have “Order 66” down as a weakness because I strongly believe that if he was able to survive the clone trooper’s betrayal, he would have been able to severely help the people of the Galaxy and hey, maybe with the combination of Plo Koon and Yoda, the Jedi could have been victorious against Sidious.
Intangibles
- Force Abilities (Strength, 95/100)- Plo Koon’s comprehensive knowledge of the Force is something that is well undocumented. One of his many talents is an impressive mastery of a forbidden Force technique known as the Electric Judgement. Basically this power was very similar to the Sith’s use of Force Lightning. His understanding of the Force also allowed him to create small whirlwinds as well as a dense fog over a limited area, freeze tiny rivers and lakes, and raise or lower the temperature of his surroundings enough to incapacitate an opponent.Now THAT is impressive.
Final Word
In the end, Plo Koon was taken from the Galaxy far too soon. He was an incredible soul with the powers to be one of if not the strongest. It’s extremely unfortunate that he was cut down at the ripe age of 363…In all fairness, the Jedi Master lived a colorful, caring and special life. His humanitarian efforts are so immense that it would humble even the most decorated Jedi. Like I said earlier, if Plo Koon survives Order 66, I have no doubt in my mind he is in the top 10 of the Official Sith Pacify Power Rankings.
