Kit Fisto is a character from the Star Wars universe, who appeared in the prequel movies Attack of the Clones and Revenge of the Sith, as well as the Clone Wars animated series.

History
Taken from his homeworld of Glee Anselm at an early age, Nautolan Jedi Master Kit Fisto quickly shined in the Jedi Order as a youngling. He was probably trained by Yoda as he possessed uncanny lightsaber skills. Fisto was a master of the Form I lightsaber combat technique.

Not much is known about any of Kit Fisto's accomplishments or missions before the Clone Wars except that he took a Mon Calamari Jedi named Bant Eerin to be his Padawan learner. Bant Eerin graduated to Knighthood shortly before the Battle of Geonosis and fought in her Jedi starfighter above the desert planet. Fisto however played a much more important role in the terrible battle as he was one of the four commanders of the Jedi taskforce sent there to rescue Obi-Wan Kenobi.

After the battle in the execution arena ended in failure and Fisto's outnumbered Jedi comrades were nearly destroyed, Master Yoda picked the survivors up with a new clone trooper army.

Kit Fisto wasted no time in taking over a fresh battalion of clone troopers to thwart an attempt by the evil droid army to burst through a canyon into the clone and Jedi ranks. This division of the operation was a success, yet the clone and Jedi death toll that day was still unthinkably large.

Weeks after the Battle of Geonosis Kit Fisto was given a seat on the Jedi Council, replacing the late Coleman Trebor, for his outstanding efforts. Following this Kit Fisto led a battalion of clone scuba troops to the peaceful Mon Calamari homeworld to end a civil dispute with the Quarrens, who were in league with Separatist leader Count Dooku. Fisto's troops there enjoyed a swift victory.

Over the course of the war, however, Kit Fisto developed a relationship with a fellow Jedi, the Rutian Twi'lek Aayla Secura. An example of this was when amphibious Kit Fisto saved the life of Secura on Kamino after Super battle droids plunged her into the raging waters of that stormy planet. Had they been outside of the Jedi Order this relationship may have expanded into love and maybe even marriage, a forbidden action in the Jedi Order.

Kit Fisto also had dangerous encounters with Asajj Ventress on Cetsus Prime and General Grievous on Coruscant during the war.

As the war came to an end with the destruction of Grievous on Utapau, Chancellor Palpatine grew more powerful each day, worrying the Jedi Council. Master swordsman Mace Windu led a strike team consisting of Agen Kolar, Saesee Tiin, and Fisto to arrest the corrupt Chancellor.

When they arrived the Sith Lord Palpatine drew his lightsaber, quickly killing Kolar, then Tiin, and after mere seconds of blocking the Sith Lord's vicious attacks Fisto was killed.

On the movie Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith Fisto was sliced in the chest. But in the novelisation of the film Anakin Skywalker arrived in the Chancellor's office and found Fisto's head on Palpatine's desk. The optimistic, good-spirited Jedi's severed head was reportedly smiling.

Kit Fisto had a laid back outlook on life and believed it was his duty to use his powers to help the citizens of the galaxy.

Plo Koon is a fictional character in the Star Wars universe. He is played by Matt Sloan.

Spoiler warning: Plot and/or ending details follow.
Plo Koon was an imposing Jedi Master and a long-term member of the Jedi Council during the Battle of Naboo and the Clone Wars. Koon was the last Padawan learner of the Wookiee Jedi Master and Jedi Council member Tyvokka. In the aftermath of the Stark Hyperspace War, in which Master Tyvokka was mortally wounded, Plo Koon was invited to serve on the Council in place of his former master. During this conflict, the natural leader Plo Koon had raised the Galactic Republic flag, inspiring his fellow Jedi to victory.

Plo Koon was a Kel Dor from the planet Dorin whose well-muscled humanoid form filled out his Jedi robes. His physiology was such that he wore protective goggles and his face-concealing antiox mask whenever in oxygen-rich environments. As a Kel-Dor, Koon naturally possessed highly developed extrasensory organs that supplemented his already formidable Jedi attributes.

His species tended to see issues in black and white, and favored what was termed "rough justice," a method of solving disputes that to non-Kel Dor seemed overly retributive and too close to vigilantism. Somewhat controversially, Plo Koon employed a Force technique that he called "Electric Judgement." This seemed to be harsh in comparison to his fellow Jedi.

A skilled and adept warrior, he fought many battles during his career. Plo hailed from a long Kel Dor Jedi dynasty, including an uncle and Plo Koon's own niece, Sha Koon, who fought in the war, as well. Plo was a master of the powerful Form V lightsaber combat. Also, Master Plo Koon possessed an extensive knowledge of the physical sciences. In particular, he used his expert knowledge of physics along with the Force to alter the environment: the resourceful Jedi could create whirlwinds as well as a dense fog over a limited area, freeze rivers and lakes, and raise or lower the temperature of his surroundings enough to incapacitate an opponent. He was a master of telekinesis, considering he could move objects without even having to face them. He wore talons over his fingertips, allowing him to further augment his already prodigious Force powers.

Plo Koon was also an accomplished fighter pilot; however, he was then topped by fellow council member, Saesee Tiin who was in fact topped by Anakin Skywalker.

Plo Koon tended to be unusually quiet, as he never spoke in any of the three movies he appeared in and rarely contributed to the Council's debates. Although, he was not so tacit in Cloak of Deception as he sided with his close friend Qui-Gon Jinn, who had fought along side him during the Stark Hyperspace War. .

Plo Koon was always humble and felt there were many others more qualified than he was to serve on the Council, notably his friend Qui-Gon Jinn. Plo was also a close friend of fellow Council member Micah Giett. After Giett was killed by Yinchori warriors, Koon took over the training of his padawan, Bultar Swan.

Plo Koon was present when Qui-Gon Jinn presented Anakin Skywalker as the Chosen One. He was also at Jinn's funeral and the celebration after the Battle of Naboo.

He was one of the Jedi who fought at the Battle of Geonosis and is among the few that survived. During production of Episode II, it was originally planned to have Plo Koon and Ki-Adi-Mundi lead an attack on the droid control ship. This idea was abandoned, however, as there was deemed to be insufficient character development.

During the battle of Brentaal IV, Koon led the battle from a cruiser in space.

During the Standoff at Rendili, Koon was present on the Flagship Mersel Kebir. The ships captain was Jace Dallin. When Lieutenat Yago tried to kill Dallin, Koon took action. Because of this, Koon was taken hostage and was to be killed. Obi-Wan Kenobi, Saesee Tiin, and Quinlan Vos were able to rescue him.

Plo Koon was then sent to Cato Neimoidia after a battle had taken place there. While there, Order 66 was issued. Koon was flying in his Delta-7 Starfighter when ARC-170s fired at him, breaking his ship apart and killing him in the process.

Qui-Gon Jinn (92 – 32 BBY) is a Jedi Master, the mentor of Obi-Wan Kenobi and was once the Padawan of Count Dooku in the fictional Star Wars universe. Liam Neeson plays Qui-Gon in The Phantom Menace and does a voiceover as Qui-Gon in Attack of the Clones

A venerable if maverick Jedi Master, Qui-Gon Jinn is a student of the living Force. Unlike other Jedi Masters, who often lose themself in the meditation of the unifying Force, Qui-Gon Jinn lived for the moment, espousing a philosophy of "feel, don't think -- use your instincts." Were it not for Qui-Gon's unruly views, he would have undoubtedly been on the Jedi Council.

At the behest of Supreme Chancellor Valorum, Qui-Gon and his Padawan apprentice Obi-Wan Kenobi journeyed to Naboo to settle the trade dispute that threatened the peaceful world. Aboard a Trade Federation battleship, the Jedi were ambushed, but they managed to escape to Naboo's surface.

In the swamplands of Naboo, Qui-Gon rescued a clumsy Gungan outcast, Jar Jar Binks, who swore a life-debt to the Jedi. Qui-Gon's compassionate nature was such that he took the strange alien under his protection. With his help, they journeyed to the city of Theed. There, they freed Queen Amidala and her retinue from the clutches of the Trade Federation, and set off to deliver her safely to Coruscant.


Qui-Gon Jinn battles Darth Maul on Tatooine.During the trip to the capital, damage sustained to the Royal Starship forced an unscheduled stop on the Outer Rim world of Tatooine. There, Qui-Gon discovered a young slave boy named Anakin Skywalker, who was strong in the Force. Sensing the boy's potential, Qui-Gon liberated Anakin from slavery. During their departure from Tatooine, Qui-Gon was nearly killed by a dark warrior, whom he suspected to be a Sith Lord.

The Jedi Master then traveled to Coruscant to present Anakin to the Jedi Council. The Council, however, felt Anakin's future seemed clouded and uncertain, and deemed the boy too old to begin training and dangerously full of fear and anger. They refused to allow Qui-Gon to train Anakin, but the Jedi Master nevertheless kept the boy as his ward as he returned to Naboo.


Qui-Gon Jinn and Obi-Wan Kenobi battle Darth Maul on Naboo.On Naboo, Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan confronted the Sith Lord Darth Maul, Qui-Gon's attacker from the desert. Maul proved a deadly and fearsome opponent. Together, Obi-Wan and Qui-Gon fended off the Sith Lord's attacks, but as the battle progressed, Master and apprentice became separated. Maul pressed his advantage, wearing down Qui-Gon's defenses and ultimately killing the Jedi Master. Obi-Wan then defeated Maul, but nothing could save Qui-Gon. With his last breath, the Jedi Master asked Obi-Wan to train Anakin, a request Kenobi accepted.

A short time later, the Jedi Master's body was cremated at a funeral attended by numerous mourners, including Anakin, Obi-Wan, Jar Jar, and several Jedi Council members.

The living Force
Precognition is the ability to sense the future. (Darth Sidious seems to be the most accurate with this ability but Yoda is also a very capable practitioner.) Qui-Gon encourages Obi-Wan to concentrate on the moment (the living Force) rather than contemplating the future (the unifying Force). The living Force focuses more on using emotions, whereas the unifying Force (The Jedi Code) teaches uniformity and restricts emotion. Qui-Gon's focus on the living Force differs from his Jedi counterparts as it is what some would consider to be a more "liberal" take. It promotes a constant state of awareness to the present since it is the present that shapes the future. Qui-Gon's belief in this justifies his behavior when on field missions. Sensitivity to current situations motivate him to make decisions that perhaps a more conventional Jedi would not as exemplified by his Padawan Obi-Wan Kenobi. This split in philosophy has kept Jinn off of the more conservative minded Jedi Council.

Qui-Gon's independent spirit was inherited from his equally (if not more so) rebellious master Count Dooku. Dooku was a man who also appreciated the value of the moment as opposed to the abstract future but unlike his master, Qui-Gon dug deeper and found support for this belief in the Journal of the Whills. The Whills were a society that pre-dated the Jedi and studied the Force in their own unique way. Through the Whills, Qui-Gon found justification for his support in the living Force as well as curious knowledge in regards to maintaining one's identity in spirit after death.
