Warning: Major spoilers ahead for Obi-Wan Kenobi episode 3! Turn back now if you haven't seen the latest episode on Disney Plus!
Obi-Wan Kenobi episode 3 has name-dropped a deep cut – but very significant – Star Wars character: Quinlan Vos.
At one point in the episode, while on the run with Little Leia, Obi-Wan ends up in a safe house. Inside, he finds a message from Quinlan that reveals the Jedi is still out there. But who exactly is Quinlan Vos, and where else have we seen him before? We explain all about the enigmatic Jedi…

In the canon novel Dark Disciple, we learn that Vos later fell to the dark side while trying to discover the identity of Count Dooku's Master, Darth Sidious (AKA Emperor Palpatine).
