Quinlan Vos Enlists in the Clone Wars
The star of several of Dark Horse’s Star Wars comics — the by-no-means-saintly Quinlas Vos — will be popping by this week’s Clone Wars. While I remember Vos as being rather brooding in the comics, he seems pretty smarmy here, but whatever. I’m more interested in when Lucasfilm acknowledges other parts of the Star Wars Expanded Universe in its main products, if only because it does it so rarely. Still, I’d love to see a Vos-focused episode following the Dark Horse comics, as opposed to him passive-aggressively telling Obi-Wan he looks like shit. Thanks to Julie for the tip.
