Plo Koon vs. Rotj Luke

Started by Quinlan_Vos3 pages

Vader didn't want Luke to die. However, that's doesn't mean he wasn't even trying against Luke. No, he was trying to perform Cho Sun or get him a surrender position, which he was incapable to do throughout the duel in ROTJ and ESB. This shows Luke isn't a newbish Jedi, but very strong for a person of his stature. Yes, he can definately take on QGJ. ESB Luke is not better than Jinn, but ROTJ Luke is definately on par or even better.

Now Plo Koon is stronger than QGJ, therefore he beats Luke. Howver, he doesn't own Luke in thirty seconds. I would say Skywalker dies after a couple of minutes's of useless determination.

Are you kidding me? Vader didn't have Luke in a surrender position in ESB? He had him on the ground with a lightsaber to his throat and then lopped off his hand. He pwned Luke in ESB. And I will admit that in ROTJ he underestimated Luke, and with the help of the darkside he defeated Vader. However, Vader was NOT trying to kill him, wanted to inflict minimal damage in order to help him take out Palps. He also wanted him sheltered from palps once Luke got there, hence throwing his house down the shaft.

When was this?

When he was walking back to the jedi circle escorted by a TF droid.

He didn't get captured. He, Kit and Mundi shut down the droid control computer to stop the droids, only these Battle Droid are upgraded versions from the ones in TPM and shutting down the system doesn't stop them. Then they allowed the droids to escort them back into the circle where the other Jedi were. If they had tried to keep fighting they would have been shot and killed, and Dooku had instructed the droids to half the battle so he could talk to Windu so there was no point in not allowing the droids to lead them back into the circle.

lead back by the droids to avoid being shot and killed = captured.

Vader wasn't trying to kill him, but he was trying to capture Luke, which he couldn't do for a good several minutes against Luke in ESB. I know how powerful Luke becomes by ROTJ, he's as strong as QGJ. However, he'll still lose to plo.

Because they were on a mission to save them all, not actually just out there defending against blaster bolts....

Luke beat Vader with Anakin's help....yea figure that one out, lol.

Anyways, Plo was one of the top Masters of the Order, and hass no emotional connection to Luke where by to let him win, and he was a much physically stronger being as was the nature of his species. Koon hands down. If not even saber skills then mos def in force mastery.

Pretty much, although Plo actaully was alot more skilled in Djem So than Luke was.

He'd break Luke down in about a minuite.

Yeah, I agree that a minute or maybe a minute and a half would be how long this duel would take it (with Plo winning, though Luke gives a good fight).
