Prime Posted February 6, 2006 Share Posted February 6, 2006 What I want to know is if that is him in TPM then why wasn't he all like "Hey Qui-Gon! What up, dog?" or if Anakin was that close to him why didn't he sense anything special about him and then say something?Because Jedi don't say, "What up, dog." Duh!

TK-8252 Posted February 6, 2006 Share Posted February 6, 2006 Under characters who appear in Episode I smartass. http://www.starwars.com/databank/appearance/ep1.html That's misleading. Appearance means in the databank that information related to Episode I is in his profile (the behind the scenes tab). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Palpatine_dc Posted February 6, 2006 Share Posted February 6, 2006 I agree with MachineCult and Darth_Terros. Quinlan Vos is a EU character who is based on the unnamed extra in TPM. In the movie he isn't identified specifically, so in this you have a point, TK-8252. If you only take the movies in account, we just don't know who this extra is. It could be Quinlan Vos, it could be someone comepletly else. However in EU is implied that this extra is him (Star Wars Republic: Twilight). This is expanding the Star Wars Universe at its most basic level, adding flesh to the movies. I would like to point out another popular EU character was "born" out of the Boonta Eve Classic scenes: Aurra Sing. Those were the earliest expansions into the prequel area and are still very popular. Conclusion: Taking EU into account,then yes, this is Quinlan Vos in TPM, taking only the movie in account it still could be him, but that is then just speculation. Remember that even GL himself doesn't refrain from using things in the prequels that stem from EU like the name 'Coruscant', Aayla Secura and Quinlan Vos.

Palpatine_dc Posted February 7, 2006 Share Posted February 7, 2006 It says 'near-human' meaning humanoide, not part human. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kurgan Posted February 9, 2006 Share Posted February 9, 2006 Because Jedi don't say, "What up, dog." Duh! If it was him though, you'd think that Qui Gon would be like "Ah ha! Another Jedi Knight! Excellent, we're in a bit of a jam here see, can you lend us some money or a ride on your ship so we can get out of here? Or perhaps you can send a message to the Jedi Council for us as this is quite an urgent matter and we're stuck on this backwater planet, etc" Isn't the EU explanation that at this point Vos has amnesia and doesn't know he's a Jedi or something like that? Still, you'd think Qui Gon or Obi-Wan would sense another Jedi nearby... maybe not. It would seem unusual for a Jedi to be just hanging out on some backwater planet outside the Republic, wouldn't it? You could also say that ROTS doesn't make it explicit that it's Quinlan Vos, the EU character. Obi-Wan just says "Master Vos" (and it's not like two people in the Star Wars galaxy can't have the same last name, even if there are only 10,000 Jedi). From what I hear, the novel or comic of the movie makes it clear Quinlan is meant and that he gets physically torn apart by an explosion, so it was intended that he died. In any case, a peripheral character almost-cameo of a background extra expanded into an EU character, then mentioned in passing in a G-level source. I could care less about the character, but an interesting situation nonetheless. If you view this as an Easter Egg (retroactively speaking) then you can just ignore it (like the shoe in the asteroid field or the TIE Fighters chasing an X-Wing on Coruscant). Or you can try a retcon explanation as to why this Jedi is sitting there and doesn't lift a finger to try to help his comrades or even acknowledge them (and vice versa).

PoiuyWired Posted February 14, 2006 Share Posted February 14, 2006 Well, note that in RtoS the "Master Vos" mentioned is definitely Quinlan Vos, given the whereabouts of this "Master Vos" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth_Death Posted February 14, 2006 Author Share Posted February 14, 2006 I know that in Rots they do mention Quinlan Vos but can you specify the scene it is in. I dont remember and I dont have the movie at hand to review it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MachineCult Posted February 14, 2006 Share Posted February 14, 2006 It's in the scene where Anakin misses the briefings of the outer rim sieges. You can hear it on this webpage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth_Death Posted March 4, 2006 Author Share Posted March 4, 2006 I wish that GL put quinlan vos in Rots instead of just mention. I mean before reading it some place i never even new that his name was mentioned. It also would have been great to see another jedi survive the purge because many ( mostly non-star wars fans) thought only yoda and obi-won kenobi had lived.

MachineCult Posted March 4, 2006 Share Posted March 4, 2006 There was a short scene scripted in which he would appear but it was cut just before filming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
