12 Star Wars Graphic Novels You Must Read Before You Die

Although his apprentice Aayla Secura is the only character to ever make the jump from comics to the big screen, Quinlan Vos has undoubtedly become the most fascinating and tormented character to emerge from the background of the films. One of countless random characters populating the background of The Phantom Menace, the image of Quinlan Vos was plucked from obscurity and launched into an epic series of his own.

A Jedi with the power of psychometry - the ability to sense the past history of items - Quinlan worked behind the scenes to keep the galaxy safe. During a case involving glitterryl smuggling, his memory was wiped, and he briefly flirted with the Dark Side during his quest to rescue his apprentice Aayla. Quinlan's adventures in the grey areas between light and dark continued well into the Clone Wars, serving as a double agent for the Jedi, positioned within Count Dooku's circle.

The adventures of Quinlan Vos gave a grittier, more sinister feel to the dealings of the galaxy, and the hard choices he faced made for gripping reading.
