- "I don't believe in chance, Commander. I know if we work together, we will stay alive, and someone will find us."
- — Plo Koon to Wolffe
Like many of his kind, Koon had a strong sense of justice. His species tended to see issues in black and white, and favored what was termed "rough justice", a method of solving disputes that, to non-Kel Dor, seemed overly retributive and too close to vigilantism. In his youth, Koon's Master Tyvokka said that he was "humble, polite, stubborn and difficult".

Plo Koon had a very close bond with Ahsoka Tano, having been the Jedi that found her and brought her to the Jedi Temple, affectionately nicknaming her "Little Soka". Because of their bond, Tano was able to sense his presence after his fleet was destroyed by the Malevolence. After learning the existence of alternate universes and the events of his counterpart in the Viau Universe with the bond between them and Ashoka, Plo Koon made a solemn vow to avoid the the same mistake that his counterpart had made when Ashoka of the Viau verse was accused of murder and abandoned her to a possible fate.
During the Clone Wars and the First Multiverse War, General Plo Koon developed an affinity for the clone troopers under his command and often stated how their lives meant more to him than completing a mission. For instance, he questioned Sergeant Sinker about why he had no hope of being rescued. When the clone replied that it was because all clones were created to be an expendable product, General Koon firmly stated "not to me" thus showing that he felt a degree of compassion for the clones.
