Plo Koon's lightsaber was the lightsaber constructed and used by the Kel Dor Jedi Master Plo Koon during the decades leading up to his death in 19 BBY.
History[]

Plo Koon wielding his lightsaber
When Mace Windu called out for all available Jedi to accompany him to Geonosis to help Obi-Wan Kenobi and his Padawan Anakin Skywalker in 22 BBY, Koon and a strike team of fellow Jedi traveled to Geonosis, carrying it into battle against the Separatist Droid Army.[5]
Koon continued to wield it as he became a Jedi General during the Clone Wars,[8]until his death during Order 66 in the skies of Cato Neimoidia.[9] He wielded the weapon on numerous fronts ranging from the orbit of Anza, Florrum, Felucia, Coruscant and Khorm. It isn't known, however, what led (story-wise) the crystal change from orange to blue.
Behind the scenes[]
This lightsaber hilt is a copy of the one carried by both Mace Windu and Luminara Unduli in promotional material for Star Wars: Episode I The Phantom Menace,[10] with the addition of blue coloring of the grooves around its blade emitter[1]. Both Plo Koon's and Mace Windu's copies were blue bladed, while Luminara's one was green bladed. Both Koon and Unduli's lightsabers had colored grooves towards the emitter, and Luminara had a colored pommel as well, while Mace Windu's lightsaber was plain.
