Near the peak of the Clone Wars, Jedi Generals Plo Koon and Kit Fisto weren’t sent on a
mission together, to take control of the horrendous M’Bardi Prison, deep in the outer rim, after
a riot had begun among the prisoners.
The M’Bardi prison held some of the Republic’s most disgraceful and dangerous criminals,
each charged with horrible crimes.
Once inside, Kit Fisto and Plo Koon got into a heated argument about whether to kill the
prisoners who were a threat, or to simply knock them out and use non-deadly tactics.
So, I’m going to breakdown the time Plo Koon and Kit Fisto attempted to stop a prison
riot at one of the galaxy’s most horrific prisons.
Before we get into it, make sure to hit the subscribe button for more awesome Star Wars
lore content.
The story begins deep in the outer rim, on the watery world of M’Bardi, where a the
Republic has constructed a giant, underwater prison complex for some of the galaxy’s
worst scum and villainy.
Jedi Generals Plo Koon and Kit Fisto have been dispatched to the location to take control
of the facility, because the local Clone Security forces and management were unable to prevent
the riot from beginning or stop it, once it began.
Once inside, the two Jedi were greeted by large, angry brutes of many species, each
roaring at each other in anger and attempting to kill anyone who even dared to look in their
direction.
And I just have to say the Officers managing this prison have not done the best job, as
many of the prisoners has somehow snuck a cutting knife into one of the Republic’s
most highly secured prisons…
Someone is definitely getting fired for this.
Following this, Kit Fisto steps through the main entrance to the prisoner area, and firmly
places his hand out in front of him, demanding that the inmates drop their weapons immediately.
This does catch the vile criminal’s attention for a few moments, but as you would expect,
the moment the prisoners realize he is a Jedi, they turn all of their attention on him, and
begin swarming him.
Fisto rapidly ignites his green lightsaber, but he is far too late, as one of the muscled
up prisoners leaps into the air, before violently throwing him to the ground and tightly grabbing
his neck.
As the prisoner is attempting to kill Fisto however, a hooded figure approached rapidly,
slamming him into a nearby wall, and saving Kit Fisto’s Life.
It is of course, Plo Koon.
Plo Koon tells Fisto that his Jedi mind powers need work, but Fisto responds, telling him
that It is their responsibility to end the riot without violence if possible.
As the two continue to watch over the ragging riots, the glass outer walls of the facility
begin to crack badly, allowing huge torrents of water to enter…
Sooner or later, the place is going to flood.
Plo Koon however has no interest in in ending the riots without violence, instead swinging
his lightsaber through the air, chopping the limbs of the prisoner’s clean off and destroying
their weapons in the process.
As he does this, the Kel’Dor Jedi master proclaims that violence is all these inmates
know.
We should take them out quickly.
Kit Fisto is worried by this, frantically asking his fellow Jedi not to kill anyone,
but Plo Koon is so confident in his abilities, that he says he won’t need to.
Fisto is very happy with this, and as he swings his green blade through the air, he tells
Plo Koon that they came here to stop a prison riot, not to execute the prisoners.
The two continue weaving their lightsabers through the criminals, careful not to kill
them, but very precise in disarming them.
Plo then asks his fellow Jedi “Why such concern for these criminals?”
As more of the inmates are brought to the ground, Fisto reponds, saying “I just believe
in second chances”, before the force pushes two incoming prisoners away, with one even
wielding a massive blade.
Plo Koon doesn’t agree with Fisto at all about second chances for these degenerate
prisoners, responding by saying “Scum like this can’t be rehabilitated, before walking
up to one of them and forcefully slamming his head against the prisoner’s face.
Before he can even feel the pain of this move however, the thick, glass outer walls of the
prison complex begin to crack even further, allowing the water inside to begin rising
very quickly, putting every single soul inside in extreme danger.
But let me know what you believe down in the comments.
Do you agree with Kit Fisto’s point of view, that an enemy should never be killed, or do
you agree with Plo Koon, that can never be redeemed and should be killed if they pose
a threat.
Interesting question, so let me know.
After this, the two Jedi go even further into their argument, with Fisto asking Plo if he
see’s everyone in a very black and white way, either a hero or a villain.
Plo Koon however says “not quite.
I also see the innocent victims.
“Victims of monsters like him.”, before pointing over at a savage, two headed, red
skinned beast, rushing towards them with weapons in hand.
The two Jedi demand that the vicious beast drop his weapon immediately, but interestingly,
one of the men inside of this two person body puts his hands up, but the other, raises his
blaster, ready to kill the Jedi.
The one who raises his weapons shouts out in a rage, saying they’ll have to take my
head first.
Plo Koon is happy to take this opportunity, igniting his lightsaber, before rushing towards
the two headed abomination, and using his rapid reflexes to deflect two blaster bolts.
Plo is only seconds away from taking the hostile head off the creature, and sparing the innocent
head, but before he can do this, in a rapid motion, Kit Fisto pushes the whole creature
away, warning Plo that if he kills one, they’ll both die.
Immediately after this, he also adds “fortunately, there are other ways to subdue our enemies,
before slamming his green fist straight into the creature’s head, turning his vision
black and probably breaking his nose.
Following this, Plo Koon is pleased that his fellow Master could deal with the prisoner,
but also annoyed at just how slow his method is, reminding Kit Fisto that they still have
three hundred prisoners to recapture.
As their heated argument continues, Fisto senses something far more dangerous in the
area, more menacing than any of the prisoners.
Plo once again brushes his fellow Jedi Off, saying “I’ll trust what I can see over
your intutition, as he rushes up to two prisoners and crushes their heads together, knocking
them out instantly.
As he is doing this however, Kit Fisto shouts a warning across the room to Plo Koon, urgently
telling him to watch out, as two blazing rockets rush through the air towards him.
The rockets eventually impact in a fiery blaze, sending Fisto the ground, and the water is
now pouring into the area at a rapid pace.
As Fisto Looks up, he sees the feared bounty Hunter Durge, who arrogantly tells him that
he started the prison riot to lure the two Jedi masters across the galaxy into his little
trap.
Kit fisto then enters combat with Durge, and is not in a great spot, but his fellow master
leaps into the area, cleanly slicing Durge’s arm off.
And if you know anything about Durge…
This will not be stopping him from continuing his rampage.
Moments later, the two Jedi rush at Durge with immense force, but he has no trouble
repelling them, slamming them into the nearby rock faces, badly hurting the two jedi.
Out of nowhere however, a scorching blaster bolts illuminates the area, going straight
through durge’s chest, throwing him straight to the ground, before a massive blast rips
through the ceiling.
At this point, Durge knows he’s in deep trouble, and the two Jedi masters are absolutely
shocked at what they see.
The two headed beast from earlier has returned to help them escape.
And this time, both heads are in agreement about helping the Jedi.
Kit Fisto and Plo Koon then begin to help the two climb out, up onto a nearby rockface,
but as soon as they plant their feet firmly down, durge’s grip comes up from the cavern
below , gripping their necks and beginning to choke them out.
Luckily Kit fisto is able to free them, but Durge shouts that he’s done with the Jedi
yet.
Unfortunately for him, Plo Koon is able to use a huge boulder to plug up the gap, holding
durge off, and allowing them to make an escape.
Fisto then asks what they should do with the prisoners, and awesome, Plo Koon has changed
his mindset from earlier, agreeing to trust in his fellow Jedi’s instincts.
Fisto, being the man who fully supports second chances, agrees to take the two headed creature
with them and asks them to watch his back.
And to end the story, Fisto offers to take some time off of their long prison stays for
their good behaviour during the riot, and helping the Jedi Out.
Nice end to the story, and good redemption for the two headed man.
So that is how Kit fisto and Plo Koon got involved in a massive prison riot at one of
the galaxy’s most horrendous prisons.
Thanks so much for watching, really hope you enjoyed it.
Cheers guys, hope to see you in the next one.
