Jason Momoa as Quinlain Vos

Jason Momoa as Quinlan Vos (should they include him in the possible series)...not too shabby eh? Beats the actor playing him in PM.

 

who is he??

 

He's in the Stargate: Atlantis series and did a little Baywatch back in the day. Just copy/paste his name in Google Images.

 

Whas' PM?

{||||| ?||} -----------------------------

 

"Phantom Menace" I'd assume

 

Normally I'd assume the same, but I don't recall seeing Quinlan in TPM? I'm sure I'd have heard about it before now.

I thought he wasn't even mentioned in the movies until RotS...

{||||| ?||} -----------------------------

 

well, me too - unless he was one of the ensemble characters not properly featured/mentioned, but appears in the databank

 

Aaaah, I see! Every day's a school day!

Fair 'nuff

Having not known this before, is there a reason why Qui-Gon doesn't give a "Quinlan! Good to see ya, you old Gundark! Don't suppose I can borrow your transport back to Corrers can I? Only our Hyperdrives carked it, a planet's been invaded and it looks like I'm here for a couple of days before the pod-race where my luck *might* be in. I'm workin' in a time-frame here!"

Yeah, PM is Phantom Menace (I hate it when people abbreviate every little thing too but I assumed everyone would get "PM"). I found out from this site I believe that there is a character "resembling" Vos. He appears during the scene when Jar Jar and Sebulba squabble a bit. He's in the background if you can catch a peek I can safely say that the guy looks exactly like Vos, especially seeing as how he has a yellow mark exactly where Vos has his.

 

You hardly even see him in that picture!!

 

I know, but if you hit the pause button just before it shows him and then frame up until you get the best shot the similiarities are undeniable. I just don't see the character being anyone else BUT Vos.

 

That's really awesome! I started a discussion about this in the Prequel Forum. Do you have any more information on the creation of Quinlan? Didn't Jan at least get a VHS copy to pause? If not, then I'm amazed!

I also want to ask you about your signature. Is it confirmed that K'Kruhk is still alive after ROTJ? Please elaborate. I've never accepted that all the Jedi were killed by Order 66. Just watch Qui-Gonn and Obi-Wan in TPM. Do you really think EVERY, or even MOST, Jedi wouldn't be able to outfight the clones? At the very least, I hope GL realises what a great move it would be to make Quinlan a major character.

 

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.

 

Who took the gem out of your doughnut? J/K
I figured as much...I guess it's up to me to get my degree in Cinematography to continue the EU tales. I won't let you guys down.

 

Send me an e-mail when you're at the concept-design stage, Stallion, I'll come and help

Oh, and it's Jam, mate

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...?

 

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.

 

Who've you been talking to about me?

{||||| ?||} -----------------------------

 

Noone, I find it's bad manners to talk about someone without them being aware.

 

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.
