Star Wars: The Clone Wars helps us in terms of getting to know some of these council members a little bit better. We never hear the great Plo Koon speak in the movies, but he is a major character in the animated series (played by James Arnold Taylor) and is full of wisdom.
Some of them have sense, but for the most part, this is an antiquated circle of helplessness. We initially met this roundabout review board in the first Star Wars prequel, Star Wars: The Phantom Menace, and then we said a semi-permanent farewell to almost all of them in Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith. High in their tower and high on themselves, the members of the Jedi Council in the galaxy far, far away are not what we always dreamed they would be.
