Welcome back to the finale of what if Plo Koon survived. Thank you to those of you who
watched the first part! To recap what happened in the first part, if you haven’t seen it,
the Jedi master had escaped Cato Neimoidia, and after discovering the survival of former
Jedi Ahsoka Tano and several clone troopers, he managed to reunite with Obi-Wan and Yoda
at the Jedi Temple. Now we follow Plo Koon and Obi-Wan, as they go to search for the
fallen Jedi knight Anakin Skywalker… The Jedi Council members allowed the droids
aboard to guide them to their destination, as they meditated in the ships quarters. Sensing
the darkness from the planet they were approaching, they looked at the navigational computer,
and found that it was the lava planet of Mustafar. The Jedi observe Padme’s Naboo star skiff
float onto the platform, and the senator rushes out to approach Vader. Obi-Wan is about to
jump from the safety of their ship, but Plo Koon commands for patience, and they see Vader
collapsing to his knees. From above, the Jedi masters choose the moment to emerge, and Vader
stared at them. Plo Koon felt concern that he chosen the wrong moment, as the Sith apprentice
ignited his blade, and lunged in their direction, but his technique was full of his internal
conflict, and they disarmed him easily. The former Jedi bemoaned all of his actions as
Vader, and pleaded for the Jedi to eliminate him, so his suffering could end. R2-D2 leapt
from Anakin’s ship and stunned his master, leaving the others with little choice but
to drag him back to their ship, and help Padme back to Coruscant. Reaching for the presence
of Yoda, they could sense he was still in a ferocious battle with Palpatine, but he
needed their assistance. Arriving as quickly as possible, senator Organa stood at the foot
of the ramp, and he carried Padme to the closest medical facility, as the Jedi masters left
the unconscious Anakin in the ship with C3P0 and R2-D2. The Jedi ran to the senate building,
discarding any of the clones who crossed their path, before hearing the cackle of the galaxy’s
new Emperor. The foot of the building was now completely barren, as the Jedi cautiously
ventured inside, and rushed to help Yoda to his feet. The Grandmaster regarded himself
to be failure, for his inability to defeat Sidious, but the Council members gave him
hope. Looking up to the dark Lord of the Sith, his face scrunched into that of annoyance,
and began to project pods in their direction, as they lifted Yoda to safety. Together, Plo
Koon and Obi-Wan dodged all of the Force augmented attacks launched in their path, finally reaching
the same level as Palpatine, and ignited their blades. The Jedi were regarded as two the
best lightsaber duellists in the Order, but Palpatine’s speed had not been something
they had ever faced. Obi-Wan was still feeling the effects of his tribulations on Utapau
and the discovery of Anakin turning to the dark side, so the Kel’Dor master battled
the Sith Lord with his patented form V of lightsaber combat. Matching Palpatine strike
for strike, he was proving to be a worthy adversary, and demonstrated all of the skills
he had when defeating Yoda at the Temple. Sidious realised that Plo Koon could not be
defeated in hand-to-hand combat, and leapt back to extend his fingertips, then launch
a lightning attack. The Jedi master absorbed the attack with his armoured talons, but could
not make any progress in moving to Palpatine, until a figure from above leapt in between
them. Anakin had recovered from being stunned to awaken in the cargo hold of the ship, and
knew he had one last chance to redeem himself for the crimes he had committed. The Jedi
knight used the Force to jump to the roof of the senate building and cut a hole in the
dome, revealing the duel taking place. The sight of Obi-Wan labouring to defend himself
sparked Anakin into action, diving in the path of a Force battle, and blocking the lightning
attack aimed for Plo Koon using his blade. Sidious growled like a feral beast, but Anakin
did not back down, pushing Sidious to the edge of a senate pod. From above, members
of the Wolfpack and Rex slid down, and pointed their blasters at the Chancellor, declaring
his reign to be over. Palpatine pushed them all out of the way, trying to escape to the
floor, but he was stopped in mid air by Plo Koon, who cut through him with his lightsaber.
The building dropped into a cold silence, before the clones cheered, and Anakin ran
off to find Padme. Yoda, Obi-Wan, Plo Koon and Bail Organa met outside of Padme’s medical
bay, to decide on their next steps of rebuilding the Jedi and the Republic, and head off to
try to find any other survivors of Order 66. Anakin and Padme would become parents to the
powerful Force sensitives Luke and Leia, raising in the reconstructed Jedi Temple, as the senator
continued to represent Naboo in the New Republic’s senate, always praising Plo Koon who had become
their hero. That is it for what if Plo Koon survived.
