Plo Koon Model!

[ET Warrior]

oops, my mistake. Misunderstanding, appologies.

[LOUman]

with a bit knowledge you can change the sabercolor of bots too...

[Kinja]

Hey everybody, even though you may be disapointed now because there is no image of this model. Trust me this is your lucky day, cause a friend of mine is going to model Plo Koon. The cool thing is, is that this guy is a freaking amazing artist. He was my teacher, my Yoda, so to speak. I'd start looking for some images about monday 06/24. Anyways I have a feeling we are all going to be blessed with this one. Anyway, Merry Christmas, early!

P.S. I will be posting all Images and Updates here under this thread. So Keep checking back.

Great is one of my favorite Jedi! Hey when your master is done what about a Kit Fisto model?

[nucular_jedi_14]

insted of a gay reskin for the mon mothma model!!! that skins sucked ass!

[nomad]

Plo Koon! Very cool!
Kinja, with an endorsement like that... this model sounds very promising indeed.

nucular_jedi_14,
You should definitely try to keep criticisms at a respectable level. Your statements of someone else's skin attempt should not be so irresponsible unless you yourself made it.

If we were to critique what you've shown of your grasp of the English Language, we could most likely be very insulting.

(I'm not trying to be cute by asking this next question, because you may have made some very good skins) Have you made any Skins?

Kinja,do you know of wahat version of Plo Koon he is making? Id much prefer his unique robed version (http://www.starwars.com/databank/cha.../img/eu_bg.jpg) featured in "Jedi Power Battles" than the default jedi tunic and blue saber in Episode II.

[nucular_jedi_14]

i thank that the reskin was boogus1

[nomad]

LOL

[Jason_W]

Screw Kit Fisto. Someone should do Ki-Adi-Mundi (the other white meat)

[ondraedan]

Sounds good to me.

/me waits

[iTeM]

yesyesyes! we need more jedi!

[iTeM]

btw, I'm no longer Bantha fodder... yay =D

[AoD-Venom]

That is sooo sweet
when will we get some pics?!?

[Sinister1]

Great news Kinja, I wish your friend all the best in modelling this Jedi Master. Perhaps he could be the one to model the other Jedi Masters too?

One thing at a time though! Great to hear!

[Kranckor]

Kit Fisto is so much better then, Ki Adi! What is wrong with your brain matter?




HAVE YOU THE BRAIN WORMS!!!!!!!!!!!

[Droidekas]

Yo kinja, nice to hear the good news! And while your master is modelling Plo Koon, what do you think about getting in the masters too and starting a Saesse Tiin model? Just suggesting...

[SithBrakiss]

NUUUUU!
Make a model of Jacen Solo!!!
That would rock!
or one of Brakiss

hehe

[nucular_jedi_14]

i agree we need alot of people who know how ta model cause we do need more jedi!!!!!!!!!!

[__CKY__]

Plo Koon 0wns i cant wait for pics and everything i wish your master the best of luck

[omegapsob]

At last a Plo Koon Model is comming out. Hes one of my fav jedi. I agree with rory_vetack the plo koon in jedi power battles looks better. Hope to see some pictures soon.

[Sinister1]

How does he look in Jedi Power battles?

Also, doesnt he supposedly have a yellow or orange lightsaber, but had a blue one in the movie? So the blue one is his real color?

[lok-on]

I had jedi power battles and he did use a yellow saber. but he looked way better in that game than in the movies. but since movies r canons i guess the blue saber is his one.

[Rory_Vetack]

Actually, the only reason he had a blue saber in the movie is the same reason Ki-Adi-Mundi had a blue one too, George Lucas decided that Jedi's are only to use Blue/Green sabers, while sith use Red (with of course the exception of Mace Windu, who requested the purple). So really, his saber is yellow/orange.

Since George Lucas has final say over anything and everything Star Wars, his saber is not yellow/orange, it's blue. I personally would prefer a little bit more variety in the saber colors, but the official color is blue.

[remark 666]

I don't give a damn about the color, ingame you can choose your owns, k ?? lol

model of him would be great, can't wait to see progress (but you should of posted this when your friend had soem screenshots, what's the point of this ?? trying to get popularity ?? or something....) just wondering

BradFu, I disagree, if Plo Koon used a Yellow Saber in a lucasarts game... But then George Lucas wants to keep up with the old star wars, then that does not change his saber. The same goes for Aayla, she used a Red saber (just like Adi Galia) but to prevent confusion of what side shes on, Lucas changed it. She was in many comics before episode II so I feel her original color stands. Even though this has no bearing on gameplay, I was mainly referring to how Plo Koon dressed in JPB, which when he wore it used a Yellow saber. Many of the Jedi Council member featured in Ep[isode I had different colored sabers, but didnt use them, but for when they did, they were changed to keep the Blue/Green = good, Red = bad.

[Jango_Fett91]

What about a Nym model???? That would be kool.

But thats a bit retarded,considering some Jedi have yellow sabers,and orange ones....but thats the whole point of a jedi's training,to make a unique Lightsaber.

Well, it all depends on how tightly you hold to what's 'canon'. As far as Star Wars goes, the only stuff that is truly 'canon' (meaning officially correct) is the stuff in the movies. Even LucasArts stuff is not officially canon, and the books and comics definitely aren't. I personally am a big fan of the Expanded Universe, so 'canon' doesn't mean much to me. When this Plo Koon model is finished, I may use the yellowish saber for him. There are, however, no Jedi in any of the movies that use anything other than blue, green, or purple.

I think it could (and very well may) be easily explained by the need to create a new lightsaber for a few people. There is 10 years of time between Episode 1 and 2, so having completely new lightsabers for several of the Jedi isn't far-fetched. Perhaps the Jedi order has even adopted new policies about lightsaber blade color between Eps 1 and 2, ie it must be blue or green, unless you're at the top of the Jedi Council, in which case you can use Purple (or maybe a color of your choosing). The Jedi order is declining somewhat, and the Republic is beginning to unravel, so perhaps they wanted more unity in the symbol of the Republic, the Jedi.

Anywhoo... of course none of this really matters for multiplayer, use whatever you like But for bots, single player, and npcs, it becomes marginally important. I would vote blue for that, since it's the color Plo Koon's lightsaber currently is.

Then what do you call this (just to the left of obi-wans head)? REALLLLLLLLY light green

[El_graco]

Oh Sh*t sorry sithbraskiss this is for bradfu

[Kent H]

Personally, I prefer his Eps 2 look without the robes, but to be fair, I'll suggest this: Would it be possible to do like the Tyrion model and make the robe a feature that can be turned on or off?

On EU vs Cannon, Lucas, or Lucas Films, or Lucas Licensing, or all of them, have repeatedly stated that anything not DIRECTLY contradicted by the movies is indeed cannon. I emphasize directly because even with apparent contradictions, there are ways to explain something as still valid.

Besides the whole lightsaber thing is very simple: Colors don't matter. The only reasons Lucas said Blue & Green (& Purple for BMF) for Jedi and Red for Sith/Dark Jedi in the movies are (1) to help the mentally deficient (or young kids) differentiate between good guy and bad guy (plus Lucas was getting his cowboy freak-on), and (2) because those colors showed up best against the backgrounds.

[SithBrakiss]

See?
in episode 2 they have all sorts of different colored sabers,Orange,Yellow

[iTeM]

hmm... that picture seems a little odd. It's not just yellow sabers, but there's some teal ones too. but I don't recall seeing any teal sabers in the movie (i'm referring to the fatty with his saber pointing downwards, just next to Obi-Wan)...

Meditate over this, I will...

as you say in swedish:
Jag anar ugglor i mossen

=D

[BradFu]

I don't beleive that that picture is directly out of the movie. I've seen the movie numerous times, and don't recall a scene quite like that. This may be an early test-composite. Specifically, note the lack of Kit Fisto and one or two other alien Jedi. I would say most likely this is an earlier shot, possibly done before Lucas decided to keep the Jedi green and blue except for Windu. You can see Plo Koon right behind Windu, and that's clearly a yellow/orange lightsaber, which points even more to this being an earlier shot. Check out Obi-Wan's lightsaber. That's not blue, it's purple, and there is no question that Obi-Wan doesn't have a purple lightsaber at any point in the movie. Also look at the left side of this picture, notice the strange outline Anakin seems to have. He's not blended with that background at all. If this WAS in the movie, that's a major screwup for ILM.

Don't get me wrong, guys, I really wish there WAS this kind of diversity in the lightsabers, I'm all for it, but the ONLY lightsaber colors we have ever seen in a Star Wars movie are blue, green, purple, and red. As it stands now, Plo Koon's lightsaber is blue. I will probably be doing blue and green for all my Prequel-era Jedi skins, but for Post-ANH skins, I plan on having lots of variety (If I ever do any post-ANH skins )

[t3rr0r]

it's obviously a doctored image.

[Sounds Risky]

Looks like a fan's representation of the scene before they saw the film. There's no battledroids surrounding them even. If you look you can even see the Geonosians in the stands still and it looks like the background has been cloned and flipped on the right side.
