Who is Plo Koon?

Biography Native to the planet Dorin, homeworld of the Kel Dor species, Koon was accustomed to breathing in an atmosphere containing little oxygen. So, in order to survive on oxygen-rich worlds, a Kel Dor had to wear protective goggles and an antiox breath mask, which supplied him with a trace gas found only on his home world, and also included a built-in comlink. An adept and skilled warrior, Plo came from a long Kel Dor Jedi dynasty, including an uncle and Plo Koon's own niece, Sha Koon . Plo Koon studied the Jedi way under the tutelage of legendary Wookie Jedi Master Tyvokka . The Kel Dor had a reputation for making quick and clear distinctions between right and wrong. Plo Koon was no exception, often taking swift, decisive action with little or no contemplation for repercussive effects. This attitude, combined with Koon's sarcastic wit, often tried the patience of his Jedi Master. In his career, Plo trained many Padawans, including Bultar Swan and the female Trandoshan Lissarkh—Koon's apprentice during the Invasion of Naboo .
