Did anyone notice Plo Koon at the end, or was I imagining?

I liked Solo, however the portrayal of a young Lando was so good I think they'd have done better if it had been a Lando movie with a Solo supporting character.

That's a good point. The movie was good enough, but it was always a hard to sell to try to believe someone else playing Han Solo. It would have probably worked better as a secondary character.

Imagining. Plo Koon died in Revenge of the Sith during Order 66. Solo is set after that movie. It's possible you saw the same species, I haven't looked, but it can't be Plo Koon.

Its kind of funny, but when I was watching Revenge of the Sith a couple of weeks back, I remember when I saw it in the theatre I cheered when the Jedi were getting executed because I just plain like the Sith more.


But after watching Clone Wars, I had an entirely different perspective, it was almost a shame that CW's came after ROTS because there would have been an amazing emotional punch to the gut.


Plo Koon had a really big part in TCW's and he was pretty much the only jedi that really showed Anakin respect, and his interactions with Ashoka were emotional and heart felt.





Even when Ki Andi Mundi being gunned down by Clone Troopers became heart wrenching because of the Geonosis episodes when Mundi was a popular general with the Clone Troopers.


I'm really looking forward to some quality Star Wars when Clone Wars returns.
