Quinlan lives!

Tychu · Post by **Tychu** » 2005-09-15 11:34am

after searching the upcoming issues of Republic, i noticed that theres one that has Quinlan surviving that ATTE attack on his ATTE in the Episode III comics. It leaves hints that he might infact die later but the thing is that he lived.

Now is there any other Jedi that survived the Purge that were thought to be dead, like in Quinlans way?

Wank. Fuck DHC.

The only thing that makes this a pale shadow of a good idea is if Vader gets to disembowel him. Regardless, I agree with IP on this one. This seems to be the case of one or more irrelevant people who are so attatched to their character they hold onto it until they've completely run it into the ground. I never liked Quinlan Vos much to begin with, his character ran right up against the edge of the Dark Side so often but he never fell over the edge for good. Its utter bullshit designed to make him that edgy and extreme good guy that fits better in a soft drink ad than in the Jedi Order.

Are you sure? I thought that it had been made clear by Dark Horse that Vos didn't survive, and the last issues with him in them were flash backs.

If not, WTF.

Well I think it's clear that some Jedi survived the initial attack of the purge, Order 66, otherwise Palpatine wouldn't have had Anakin set the recall code at the Temple that Obi-Wan and Yoda reconfigured to say "stay away".
However, by the time of ANH (EU aside) the Jedi, like Obi-Wan says, "are all but extinct".

I've gotten the impression that the status of Jedi during the OT and KOTOR2 is similar if not indentical (aka some Jedi do exist but most of them given up the ways of the Force).

That is certainly true (the upcoming Dark Lord and Hyperspace webcomic Evasive Action are beginning to chronical the rest of the purge, and other Jedi have been mentioned in past sources.) However, bringing back Quinlan is pretty much just streching a popular character out so he can appear in more comics (yes, I know this has happened before, and I don't mind Fett, but somehow this just seems off-putting.)

No respect for the dead.

Now it almost seems like Lucas' treatment of Aayla Secura- scorching her sweet, sweet ass- was a good thing, after all.

To be honest, this does connect the supposedly non-canon story, "Ghost" (from one of the early, non-canon SW Tales), where Vos briefly appears as an old man.

Heh.

I´m actually looking forward to these post-ROTS Republic issues, if only to see the early Empire crush all opposition!

And meets Han Solo as a boy?

Heh.

Hey, never said it was a good story.

Personally I don't have a problem with a decent percentage of 10k force sensitive warriors survivg 66, after all Vader needs something to do

Even a few Jedi surviving the second purge would be ok, fter all it's a big galaxy. (By few I mean less than a hundred)

Bull, Fucking , Shit

Five bucks says he fights along with Chewbacca prior to Chewie's enslavment. But this just cheapens the Ep III comic. IF he wasn't going to fucking die why put him in there, and why put him on Kashyyk. Put him somewhere isolated or something where it makes more plausible sense.

President Sharky · Post by **President Sharky** » 2005-09-17 01:06pm

My bet is that he dies anyways at the end of this issue. Something about that description that practically screams he'll die in a heroic last stand.

VT-16 · Post by **VT-16** » 2005-09-17 01:29pm

Actually, he´s on the cover of several issues. Joy.

if he does fight with Chiewie, it is now clear that, that tales issue had some kind of glorious meaning i mean. Old man Quinlan sees young Han, he had fought alongside Hans future best friend, its a complete cirlce

Fuck that 'glorious meaning bullshit', all it means is that some writer over at DHC shoves his hand down his pants when coming up with new ways to use Quinlan Vos. And i'm sure that the TALES you are referring to might fall under "Infinities".

Havok · Post by **Havok** » 2005-09-19 02:07am

GawD!! Why can't the people responsible for the EU come up with something original that DOESN'T involve every character from the OT.

That aside, having Vos survive isn't that big of a deal, like Death said, there are supposed to be 10,000 Jedi at the time of TPM. Even with the losses we see in the films and EU, there should still be a healthy amount of Jedi left, at least 8,000 for arguments sake. Were there 8,000 Jedi Generals commanding clone armies? Probablly not. (Are there figures on that?) And from some of the EU I read, not every Jedi was involved with the Clone Wars IIRC.

Anyway, I hope that this story arch leads to some good surviving Jedi vs. Vader stories, since aside from the birth of the rebellion there doesn't seem to be anything interesting on the horizon.

VT-16 · Post by **VT-16** » 2005-09-19 05:46am

Most of the upcoming material seems to deal with Jedi Extermination and the Empire's rise to power. After that, there's the two SW TV series (one with more CW battles and another in the ROTS-ANH period). Since there's little chance of seeing either Han or Luke or Leia in this period, it sounds spiffy to me.

Im on the computer at school, so i cant save the picture and give you something cool like i did with the Quinlan picture, but to answer if theres going to be some Jedi vs Sith action (ie. Order 66 survivors vs Vader). For Havokeff, heres a link

That looks rather nice. Although my friend has said that "Dark Horse has great cover art and shitty plots" I'm still looking forward to that particular comic. I always like Vader comics.

But Quinlan... I just can't believe that they somehow made him to survive a direct hit from AT-TE (somebody correct me if I'm wrong about the vehicle)!

I mean, what are the chances? Quinlan is quickly becoming every SW comic writer's wet dream (he lost his memory and nearly fell to the dark side? He defeated a bunch of Nightsisters of Dathomir and stopped Coruscant from being torn apart by a honkin' wormhole? He had the hottest apprentice of all the Jedi? He got to use Force lightning seemingly without repercussions? He was at Dooku's side - no, he's at the Republic's side, no, at the Separatists' side, no..! And now this?) Jebus, what that man is incapable of doing? Scoring with Mon Mothma, Amidala's remaining Handmaidens and some hot Nightsisters in one huge orgy?

Bah. There's a story I'm NOT looking forward to.

It was a shot from a Juggernaut, and it only described the Juggernaut he was sitting on, disappearing in smoke and fire.

Stark · Post by **Stark** » 2005-09-19 07:04pm

Sigh. Vos was a terrible character when he was just a piece of wank amonst others, but this is ridiculous. Is there any retarded wank Vos HASN'T done? I've only read a few, but he was ticking his way throught the Hero Checklist pretty fucking fast.

I agree wholeheartedly with the 'edgy good guy' thing - worst of all that's obviously been their plan from the beginning. Everything that is wrong with SW comics, is Quinlan Vos. I have literally never read a comic where he wasn't tempted/using/fallen... no wait to the dark side. Everyone hates DE for this sort of thing.

As an aside, I encourage all the non-comic readers (like myself) to aquire Vos comics and read them. See for yourself. You can almost SMELL the semen.

Darth Fanboy · Post by **Darth Fanboy** » 2005-09-20 02:07am

This also means that I have to kill him off in my RoTS Fic also.
