Ploon Kun and Darth Maul (myfavorite hero and villian)
Plo Koon was a Kel Dor male from the planet Dorin who became a Jedi Master and a lifetime member of the Jedi High Council, holding the position from before the Invasion of Naboo to the end of the Republic in 19 BBY. During the Clone Wars, Koon served as a Jedi General in the Grand Army of the Republic. Plo Koon was also an accomplished starfighter pilot.
Koon had a niece, Sha Koon, who was also a member of the Jedi Order, and served as a personal communicator between the Jedi strike force and the rest of the Republic during the Stark Hyperspace War. He was a close friend of fellow Masters Qui-Gon Jinn (whom he fought alongside during the Stark Hyperspace War), Micah Giiett, Ki-Adi-Mundi and noted fighter pilot Saesee Tiin.
Plo Koon was shot down over Cato Neimoidia by his clone troopers, killing him in compliance with Order 66. His fighter crashed into a Clone assembly area, killing 141 clone troopers of the 7th Sky Corps. Remaining close with his former master, Koon studied as a Jedi Guardian independently, taking on missions that often required that he demonstrate his skill with a lightsaber, rather than diplomacy.Native to the planet Dorin, homeworld of the Kel Dor species, Koon was accustomed to breathing in an atmosphere containing little oxygen, forcing him to wear an antiox breath mask when abroad. Born into a family strong in the Force, Koon's own Force-sensitivity was discovered early and he was turned over to the Jedi Order early on in his infancy for training. Like his uncle before him, Koon was trained at the Coruscant Jedi Temple's academy for most of his childhood years, eventually passing the Initiate Trials and becoming eligible to be selected as a Padawan. Selected by the esteemed Jedi High Council member, Jedi Master Tyvokka, Koon had a reputation for making quick and clear distinctions between right and wrong. Often taking swift, decisive action with little or no thought of repercussions; this attitude, combined with Koon's sarcastic wit, often tried the patience of his Jedi Master.
"A Jedi does not cling to sorrow, young Padawan. We accept it. Sorrow is a part of life as well as joy. There are gifts to be found, even in death and sorrow…strange gifts. We accept this, we learn, and we go on." ―Koon to Aayla SecuraDarth Maul Darth Maul was a Dathomiri Zabrak Sith Lord during the waning days of the Galactic Republic. A brother to Savage Opress and Feral, Darth Maul and his kin were part of a clan known as the Nightbrothers, who lived apart from the mainstream Zabrak population on the planet Dathomir, subservient to the Nightsister witches. As apprentice of Darth Sidious, he was taken at an early age to be trained in the ways of the dark side of the Force. In 33 BBY, Sidious gave Maul his first mission; put the criminal organization Black Sun in disarray. Maul carried out this task perfectly, dealing the group a grievous blow. Darth Maul was a Zabrak born on Dathomir, a colony planet of his species, and was a member of the Nightbrothers, a clan of male Zabraks subservient to the Dathomiri Nightsisters. At a very early age, he was taken by the Sith Lord Darth Sidious to be trained in the ways of the dark side of the force. During his training, any show of fear was severely punished, and any hint of mercy rewarded with cruelty. By the time Maul was an adolescent, his master had already forged him into a weapon of pure hatred. He had a sense of honor, however, respecting those he deemed worthy opponents and granting them quick deaths. Despite a traumatic childhood, Maul had filial feelings toward his master, and never once contemplated killing him—until his final test.He proceeded to create a new lightsaber, based upon Sith schematics which he had received from Darth Sidious and inspired by the Zhaboka, a traditional weapon of his species. Fabricating two lightsabers, Maul welded them together, pommel to pommel, creating a double-bladed lightsaber.
"At last we will reveal ourselves to the Jedi. At last we will have revenge." ―Darth Maul
