I think plo koon is cooler, but i think ki adi mudi would win. He was appointed to the jedi council while still a knight, i mean, you have to be badAs$ to do that.

The whole Sidious kills Jedi Masters in one second apiece is kinda far fetched. I mean, it's there, it's in the movie. But it's pretty piss poor cheap.
Ya I don't like the idea of him slaying 3 Jedi's in under 10 seconds either, but that's what happened. I think it is meant to showcase the difference between just a kick ass Jedi (plo and Ki) and the true masters of the force. I'm not saying Plo or Ki are weak, but a duel thread without the usual suspects (yoda, palpy, obi, anakin, maul, qui gon, etc...) is just too hard to judge. Could go either way. I'm sure it would be epic on their own smaller scale, but a real Jedi or Sith would just slap them with his dick.

PLo Koon killed a Sith? Nonsense. That's Super Shadow right there. The list of Sith in PT are as follows: Vader, Tyrannus, Maul, Sidious. Plo Koon didn't kill any of those. Rethink your post, man.

Janus is right. However, Plo koon66 sir, I think you are still right about Koon being better anyway. Mistakes happen, though. DAMN YOU, SUPERSHADOW!!! (please log in to view the image)

I just went to the SS site for the first time since - never mind. Look at this - it's inconceivable how he isn't being sued:
Special Message From George Lucas: “In a few short hours, many of you will have the greatest cinematic experience of your lives. This movie has been over 28 years in the making. When Star Wars first became a glimmer in my eye, I knew that the final episode of the prequels would be one of the defining moments in the history of motion pictures. Shadow and I have slaved for nearly three years on this one. Revenge of the Sith has all the darkness and foreboding of The Empire Strikes Back. It has all the escapism and excitement of Return of the Jedi and it has all the wonder and magic of the very first Star Wars film.
For the first time, you can decide the future of Star Wars. The burden is all on you and your friends. I implore each of you to watch Revenge of the Sith at the midnight showings that will cascade all across the world. Then tomorrow I ask for you to watch Revenge of the Sith all day long. Wake up early in the morning and watch the very first matinee. Then get back in line all day long and see the movie all over again many, many times. Each time you watch the film you will discover something new.
After you‘ve watched Revenge of the Sith a few dozen times in theaters, you will begin to appreciate all the hard work and effort that Shadow and I have poured into this film. We have given our all and the result is something that you can all feel proud of. Your ideas helped shape this film. You all made a difference. We did this together. Your best efforts will always be remembered and never forgotten. As always, may the Force be with you.” (Source: George Lucas)
Exclusive Star Wars Actor Interviews at SuperShadow.com
Exclusive Ewan McGregor Interview at SuperShadow.com
SuperShadow: What’s the best thing about playing the role of Obi-Wan Kenobi?
Ewan McGregor: The light-saber action. It’s really surreal. It’s hard to believe that you’re actually on a set being paid to play around with a light saber. The best thing I have ever had to do acting wise. I wouldn’t trade it for the world. I’ve actually become a decent swordsman after working on three movies. I hate that’s it’s all over. I really do miss it. All the friends. Everything.
SuperShadow: How much are you being paid by Lucas?
Ewan McGregor: George has been very generous. I’m making more than Harrison Ford and Mark Hamill combined for what they made for the originals.
SuperShadow: That might not be much considering Lucas didn’t have to pay them squat.
Ewan McGregor: (Laughs.) I’m not complaining at all. I should be paying him. It’s that much fun. I wish it would never end, but it’s bloody well over. Went by much too fast.
SuperShadow: You worked with Tim Burton for the movie “Big Fish.” Is Burton as weird as the press makes him out to be?
Ewan McGregor: Not at all. Tim is very down to Earth. Completely normal chap. One of the best I have ever worked with. He has a distinct vision and knows exactly what’s he’s after. I had a fantastic time working with Tim because he is so funny. He’s got the best sense of humor. We were always joking around on the set.
SuperShadow: What was it like to travel the world on a motorcycle?
Ewan McGregor: I had the time of my life. It was the adventure of all adventures. I was challenged on a daily basis and had no idea I would come out in one piece. That too was something that went by too fast. Over in an instant. My life seems to be a blur. One big thing after another.
SuperShadow: Have you been approached to do James Bond?
Ewan McGregor: Not really interested. I mean it would be the role of a life time, but they want a multi-film commitment. Something like four or five films. That would be like eight to ten years of my life because they like to make a Bond film every two years. I would spend all my time on Bond and miss out on a bunch of tasty roles. Anyway it would be hard to follow in the footsteps of legends like Sean and Pierce. They don’t seem to miss it so I don’t even think I want to bother with it.
SuperShadow: What made you want to sing in Moulin Rouge? Want to be a rock star or something?
Ewan McGregor: (Laughs.) No, it was something out of the ordinary. A real challenge. I like to do unconventional films and keep people guessing. That film did pretty well so I have no regrets. I don’t think I sound all that bad considering my experience.
SuperShadow: Did you get to score with Nicole Kidman?
Ewan McGregor: I’m a happily married man and Nicole is a lady so, of course, nothing happened. She’s very lovely and I enjoyed working with her. It was quite a treat.
SuperShadow: Are you going to do any more high-budget, big-time movies like Star Wars in the future?
Ewan McGregor: I don’t really plan things out for the long run. I just take what they offer me. Of course, I don’t take every role, but I’m open to about anything. So yes I would do something as epic as Star Wars again if given the chance. I would like to work with James Cameron. He’s bloody well brilliant.
SuperShadow: Thanks for taking the time to speak with us. The fans appreciate everything you have done for Star Wars.
Ewan McGregor: I’m the one who should be thanking them. My boyhood dreams have come true with Star Wars. Thanks to you all.
Exclusive Samuel L. Jackson (Mace Windu) Interview at SuperShadow.com
SuperShadow: How did you get involved with Star Wars?
Samuel L. Jackson: I made overtures to Lucasfilm that I was very interested in having some kind of involvement with the new prequel movies. I didn’t care what kind of role I was given just as long as I could do something. Anything. No matter how small a role.
SuperShadow: Are you surprised that Lucas gave you the pivotal role of Mace Windu?
Samuel L. Jackson: I never dreamed I get to play a Jedi especially the second most powerful one after Yoda. It’s quite an honor. George could have given me a cameo role, but instead he made me a significant player in the movies. I’m very grateful. I’ve enjoyed making all three of the films.
SuperShadow: Did you know going in that Windu would die at the hands of the Sith?
Samuel L. Jackson: George didn’t tell me what was going to happen to my character until he started writing Episode 3. He told me that Mace was going to die, but the death scene would be something to remember. I wanted my character to go down with all guns blazing. Mace actually has Darth Sidious defeated until Anakin steps in. At least Mace is able to hang tough with the baddest Sith of them all. I guess it’s kinda ironic that Anakin is the one that ends Mace’s career given that Mace didn’t really want Anakin in the Jedi Order.
SuperShadow: What’s your favorite movie that you have starred in?
Samuel L. Jackson: I would say it would have to be Diehard With A Vengeance. That was a break out vehicle for me. Pulp Fiction was great for my career, but Diehard really put me on the A-List. It’s quite a coincidence that Bruce was also in Pulp Fiction. I guess it was fate. Life is funny like that. You never know what’s going to happen.
SuperShadow: Did Lucas have to pay your regular salary for Star Wars?
Samuel L. Jackson: No, I wasn’t doing Star Wars for the money. I made sure that George could afford to give me a role. I know he is reluctant to use well known actors in his films. So I’m glad George made an exception for me and for Jimmy, too.
SuperShadow: What’s it been like using a light saber in a heated battle with the dark side?
Samuel L. Jackson: I was glad to be able to use my light saber for Episode 2. I was disappointed that there wasn’t anybody against me using one. Jango was pretty defenseless against a Jedi of Mace’s calibur. We really didn’t get to see what Mace was capable of until Episode 3. Sidious takes out the Jedi I’m with fairly quickly. Fortunately, Mace has the skills to keep Sidious at bay. Some would say that Sidious allows Mace to get the upper hand so that Sidious can utilize the situation to turn Anakin to the dark side. That’s cool, but I like to think that Mace really is that good with the light saber.
SuperShadow: You could argue that Windu is more skilled than even Yoda with a light saber because Sidious defeats Yoda in Revenge of the Sith.
Samuel L. Jackson: Yeah, it makes you wonder how Mace was able to go toe to toe with Sidious when not even Yoda can find a way to defeat Sidious. I guess we had to see Yoda fight Sidious so we could understand why Yoda and Obi-Wan were hiding from the Empire. It’s makes that line about not underestimating the powers of the Emperor all that more significant. We find out that Sidious, despite his age, is as good as any Jedi with the light saber. Of course, Yoda is real old too so the outcome might have been different if Yoda had faced Sidious several hundreds years in the past, but you have to fight the battles when they come to you and the fact remains that Yoda loses to the Sith.
SuperShadow: Are there any plans for a prequel to Pulp Fiction that you know about?
Samuel L. Jackson: Quentin talked about doing a prequel about the Vega brothers, but I think he figured that they, the actors, were too old now to do a film about their younger days. I’m not sure my character would have had a role, but I would jump at it in a heart beat to play that character again.
SuperShadow: Do you ever plan to attend any science-fiction conventions to meet the fans face to face?
Samuel L. Jackson: My schedule doesn’t permit me to do any of that. Those things usually happen on the weekends and I’d rather take it easy since I’m usually working all week long. It would be nice to meet the fans because I know they take this stuff really seriously. Too seriously I guess.
SuperShadow: Thanks for your time. We all look forward to seeing you in Revenge of the Sith.
