Vos won't be on the TV show. I know you think he'll be, and you'd love him to be, and it stands to reason that he would be, but he won't.

My guess is that the only returning characters will be the ones established in the movies. Any new characters won't be from the current EU. The writers will want all new characters, ones they can build for the new audience, and use them around established common characters the audience will know, like Obi-Wan, Vader or Yoda. They don't want to cater to the current EU crowd, they'll be trying to capture a new audience.

Writers are very fickle. These guys will want to create their own characters, not use Vos, Aayla, Thrawn, or someone who's been in novels and comics for years.


You speak with authority. How do you know? I thought at this point the series was still in its planning stages? Every good series needs an heroic lead, and we both know that Quinlan would be perfect. In any event, why would GL ask that he be spared if it wasn't to use him, and if not in the TV series, then where?

actually, this is an exact quote from mccallum himself about the new series...

"McCallum also denied rumors that the new series would focus on members of the Skywalker family, but repeated that the show will take place in the timeframe between Episode III and IV. "All-new characters," he added. "That missing 20-year period when Luke is growing up. ... Think bounty hunter. That's all I can tell you. There's nobody else that you'll know [in it]. At the moment. You know, it's still [in] really, really early stages. He hasn't really sat down to think about which direction [he's going]."

from what i've heard, they are pretty much doing only EU stories on EU characters. You wont see Han Solo for instance, but you will see like Boba chasing the Falcon here or there. Think Bounty Hunters, Jedi still on the run that were not gunned down during the purge, and a character like Quinlon Vos on the run, searching for the truth. They have already signed Momoa, so he is playing the role. They have also signed the girl that played aayla secura, and the kid who played boba, he's all grown up now. I iknow it's after the purge, and "blue-girl" died, but Vos and Secura were master and apprentice at one point...just a note to keep in mind. Should be exciting, just guess all the EU haters better get over it, or i guess they cant watch...

Quinlan Vos will not be the star of the new show. There's no way of knowing what the show will be about, but it won't center around any current EU character, like Vos or Thrawn. Bookmark this thread and come back in about 2 years.

When Rick McCallum mentions "new characters," this might include EU characters because they're new to the audience of the movie? Can you confirm the information about the actors you mentioned? That would be great! I always thought that Aayla Secura would survive because she's too hot to kill off? Maybe Commander Bly only stunned her, and later on revived her so he could have his way with her in exchange for letting her live...? happy

Thanks for the offer but I'd rather do it right the first time, but thanks for the spell check.

Now back to the original topic...I'm not saying Vos will be in the series, this thread was only started to show the resemblance betweeen Momoa and the character. Read carefully before assuming something you guys.

Here's an interesting fact: Quinlan was slated to die at the end of The Hidden Enemy, a 3-part story arc in the Republic comic series. However, George Lucas himself requested that Quin's creators not kill him off, supposedly because he wants the character to appear in the TV series.

Even so, I doubt he will actually star in the series, but signs point to at least a cameo appearance. Possibly also from other Jedi who survived the Purge.

As to the topic of this thread, here's Momoa's Wiki entry. OK, he's got the dreads, but he doesn't really look like Quin.

Here's Doug Wangler, friend of Jan Duursema, who dresses as Quin for fan conventions. He looks more the part than Momoa.

>>Didn't Jan at least get a VHS copy to pause? If not, then I'm amazed!<<

Nope, no VHS copy- just a regular screening, as I recall.


>>Do you have any more information on the creation of Quinlan?<<

A little, but if you have anything else you want to ask about him, try asking John Ostrander and Jan over in their respective dicussion threads in the Authors & Artists forum.


>>I also want to ask you about your signature. Is it confirmed that K'Kruhk is still alive after ROTJ? Please elaborate.<<

My sig quote is sort of a popular running joke that I sorta started and it caught on. Basicly, K'Kruhk has had the habit of seemingly being killed or severely injured several times and yet surviving (he was thought dead in a battle early in the Clone Wars, but resurfaced later, then again was struck down by Genral grievous in Clone Wars Volume 1 on Hypori, but survived thanks to his physiology, and again was injured by Quinlan Vos in a duel on Coruscant about a year later.

So the joke began that K'Kruhk just couldn't die and that he'd survive Order 66, retire on Alderaan, ride a chunk of Alderaan to safety from the Death Star, retire again on Serpidal before the moon crashes into it, surviving that, and so on...

I then combined that joke with the popularity of K'Kruhk's hat in that sig quote. Thus giving birth to the Freakin' Sweet Hat as an explaination as to WHY he could survive all those brushes with death, as noted in this SW Wiki entry

The running joke was later winked at in the comics themselves (K'Kruhk mentions something to the effect of he has learned to carry basic medical supplies with him wink ) and, so far, he has not been identified as a casualty during Order 66.



>>Vos won't be on the TV show. I know you think he'll be, and you'd love him to be, and it stands to reason that he would be, but he won't.<<

As mentioned earlier, his last-second survival in the comics came from Lucas, apparently, which implies we might be seeing him in the show afterall.


>>My guess is that the only returning characters will be the ones established in the movies.<<

Don't forget that Vos was mentioned in the movie and almost appared in it (to the point of animatics and costumes being made and an actor casted).


>>They have already signed Momoa, so he is playing the role. They have also signed the girl that played aayla secura, and the kid who played boba<<

Momoa has not been signed, and neither has anyone else yet. With Momoa being a main character on Stargate Atlantis, it's unlikely he'd be available for another show (especially given the general longevity of the Stargate shows). Amy Allen (Aayla Secura) did supposedly mention at Celebration 3 that she'd be appearing in the TV show, but since Aayla is definitely, definitely dead (see below), she could only appear in flashbacks if they were to use that technique, with Quinlan perhaps. Daniel Logan has not been signed either, but was either hired for promotional stills of him in the Fett armor or simply took said photos with a fan's costume.

You're obviously very knowledgeable, and I appreciate you taking the time to share what you have with us. I hope you don't mind if I ask you a few more questions?

1. Are you sure that no one has been signed? Here's a link to an article on this site discussing how Madonna has or is about to sign:
http://theforce.net/swtv/story/madonna_signs_on_for_live_action_television_series_97771.asp

2. Do you know if Quinlan could be played by the original actor? I thought he looked great! Has there been any specific talk of casting an actor to play him? Any actor? Even Ahmed Best? (BTW, will he be in the TV show? I actually wouldn't mind it...)

3. I know that Rick McCallum said the show would largely focus on bounty hunters, which certainly suggests that Daniel Logan will be in it.

4. Was "The Hidden Enemy" the last story arc in Republic that takes place in issues 81-83? I thought it was great that he survived, and it leaves the door open for MANY other Jedi to survive because, if Yoda couldn't sense that Quinlan was still alive, even though they're on the same planet, then how would Yoda know whether or not there were other Jedi by the time of ROTJ? Another explanation, and one that GL himself hints at in the movie, is that Obi-Wan is the only Jedi Yoda heard from after the issuance of Order 66, and afterwards he retires to Dagobah. So he simply assumed there were no other Jedi left. Also, Luke was extremely reluctant to kill Vader, so perhaps Yoda thought that Luke would be more likely to not follow through if there was some other Jedi out there who could pick up the slack?

5. If Amy Allen is going to be in the show, then why couldn't she have survived? My theory continues to be that Commander Bly under stunned her so he could keep her alive as a XXX slave. I know I would! love love love

Thanks for turning me on to the Authors & Artists forums. I wasn't aware of them, much less than actual creators like Jan Duursema post there.

Also, thank you for taking the time to respond to me!

Ok, I kinda glanced over this and decided what the hey, I'll leave a comment becasue this interests me.

Momoa would be excellent. His face would avhe to be made to look a litte rougher, but other then that hes an excellent choice. I can't remember who posted it, but earlier somone psoted a pic of the guy who does the Fan gigs at Cons, and let me tell you, hes a horrible choice.

Also, the pic with Sebulba and anakin arguing, thats not Vos. Its sjut someone from his homeworld, of Kiffu I beleive. I may be wrong in memory of his homeworld. But anyways, that wasn't Vos, he was on some mission with Aayla if memory serves me correctly, though I can't, for the life of me, remeber what they were doing or where I read that tidbit. But I'm fairly certain tahts not Vos, as I think someone else pointed out.

http://theforce.net/swtv/story/madonna_signs_on_for_live_action_television_series_97771.asp <<

No one has been signed yet- they haven't even written the scripts or settled entirely on the premise, from what we keep hearing, so they are a lonnng way aways from announcing casting.

And you'll note the Madonna story was posted on April 1st.


>>2. Do you know if Quinlan could be played by the original actor?<<

Though I'm not 100% positive, I believe that the original actor's identity is either unknown (unrecorded extra) or he declined further appearances. Someone else would have played the role in ROTS anyways, had it been filmed, so it's probably a moot point.


>>3. I know that Rick McCallum said the show would largely focus on bounty hunters, which certainly suggests that Daniel Logan will be in it.<<

It's quite possible Logan as Fett could appear in the series, but nothings certain at this point.


>>4. Was "The Hidden Enemy" the last story arc in Republic that takes place in issues 81-83?<<

Yes.


>>if Yoda couldn't sense that Quinlan was still alive, even though they're on the same planet, then how would Yoda know whether or not there were other Jedi by the time of ROTJ?<<

If I was to speculate, I'd suggest Yoda's inability to detect Quinlan was probably a combination of the massive disturbance in the Force Order 66 created and Quinlan being near-death at the time.

As for ROTJ, depending on how you want to look at it, for all intents and purposes Luke WAS the last viable Jedi around as the others were either in hiding or had abandoned their Jedi ways, etc.



>>5. If Amy Allen is going to be in the show, then why couldn't she have survived?<<

She'd definitely dead. Amy may have been misinformed or purposely provided misinformation due to the movie not being released yet at the time of C3. Or, they may have suggested she could appear in flashback. But nothings set in stone.


>>Also, thank you for taking the time to respond to me!<<

No prob ::)


>>Also, the pic with Sebulba and anakin arguing, thats not Vos...he was on some mission with Aayla if memory serves me correctly, though I can't, for the life of me, remeber what they were doing or where I read that tidbit.<<

It actually was Vos. Initially they beat around the bush a bit but it was confirmed that was Quinlan in a comment made by Aayla during her debriefing in the framestory of The Stark Hyperspace War. Quinlan and Aayla were on Tatooine investigating the origins of the glitteryll drug (which led to both their memories being erased soon afterwards, leaving them where we pick the characters up in Twilight and Darkness).

Ah, so that maybe what I read. Hmm its been a long time since I've looked into any of that info and my memory is faulty with information like that when i jsut see it in a pssing glance.

Anyways, Vos and Secura both were neither my favorites at any point so I paid ill attention to anytihng concerning them.

Thank you for setting me straight.

IMHO I think it's very unlikely that we'll see Vos even though I would like to, there's a very simple reason

HTL He's a father now so he probably want to settle on some planet somewhere with Kayleen rather than running about being a Jedi.
