Star Wars Rebels and Jedi: Fallen Order have established that "Ben" Kenobi and Yoda weren't the only Jedi to survive Order 66, but yesterday's episode of Obi-Wan Kenobi revealed another big name from The Clone Wars is alive and well. Helped by an Imperial officer (played by Indira Varma) who has turned against the Empire, we follow Obi-Wan and Leia to a safehouse.
It turns out many Jedi have passed through, including The Clone Wars' Quinlan Vos!
His story is a fascinating one, and Vos' post-Order 66 fate has long been discussed and speculated on by fans. The fact he's still out there protecting the Force Sensitive beings targeted by the Empire suggests we could see him appear elsewhere at some point, and we wouldn't be remotely surprised if that happens in the upcoming Jedi: Survivor video game seeing as it takes place around the same time as Obi-Wan Kenobi.
Clearly shocked and moved by the revelation that there are other Jedi out there, Obi-Wan reads an inscription his old ally has left behind: "Only when the eyes are closed can you truly see." When Leia asks what it is you can see, the Jedi simply responds, "The Way."
This a pretty wonderful throwback to Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, and the importance that saying has had in this franchise over the past few years. There are other names in this hideout, and we're sure eagle-eyed fans will translate them soon enough.
Where would you like to see Quinlan Vos appear next?
