Plo Koon

Plo Koon is a Jedi Master who served on the Jedi High Council and was a close friend of Anakin Skywalker. He had been a Jedi Master for many years before the Clone War, and he was one of the Jedi who resented the war and loathed to take part. Koon led his own battlegroup into combat during the War but rarely fought on the front lines. He disliked Clone Troopers and their machines of war, and he didn't even accept the new Eta-2 Interceptor class Jedi Starfighter due to its heavy focus on combat, instead opting to remain with the Delta Aethersprite class.

Koon was originally a Jedi Guardian but later became a Jedi Sentinel during the course of the Clone War, going on a pilgrimage to reclaim a yellow lightsaber crystal from the tomb of a long-dead Jedi to use in his own lightsaber.

Koon was leading a taskforce to Cato Nemoidia when Order 66 was issued, and he was leading a group of ARC-170 starfighters into combat when the clone pilots turned on him. His Delta Aethersprite was shot down, crashing into one of the Nemoidian structures on the planet and exploding into a ball of flame, killing Koon instantly.
