During the Clone Wars, a string of very high-profile Republic senators were
assassinated in very suspicious circumstances, all in very similar ways. After hearing of this,
the Jedi Council were able to determine that a branch of the Coruscant Underworld
Mafia were involved but knew that they could not be acting alone. This caused
Master Yoda to dispatch General Quinlan Vos to infiltrate their organization,
to find out who was pulling the strings and giving THEM the orders to carry out these assassinations.
So, I’m going to break down how Quinlan Vos joined
the Coruscant Mafia and almost uncovered Palpatine’s hitman serial murder spree.
Before we dive into it make sure you’re subscribed
to be notified as soon as I release more awesome STar WArs lore content.
The story begins on a dark and dirty street of the Coruscant underworld,
where quinlan Vos emerges out of a disgusting manhole, from the sewers below
As quinlan exits the noxious sewer, he bumps shoulders with some of Coruscan’ts
most dodgy and rough figures, each of them calling him names and hurling abuse at him,
but he simply shrugs it off and continues on his path.
Quinlan Vos literally walks for hours all the way from the lower levels of Coruscant up the grand
steps of the Jedi temple, still dripping with the filth from the sewer he just came out of.
Eventually, Quinlan Vos makes his way to Yoda’s quarters inside of the Temple, before
Master Yoda hilarious tells him. “Quinlan Vos, quite horrible you look… and worse you smell”.
Vos tells Master Yoda that trudging through the sewers for the past week was no picnic, and Master
Yoda quickly moves to ask him if his mission was a success given how filthy it has made him.
Vos gives him a pretty vague answer, telling him that he discovered that a
Wing of the Coruscant Mafia named The Red Hand, who are the lowest, vilest criminal
class on Coruscant, were responsible for the recent assassinations of senators.
Vos goes on to tell Master Yoda that the group are lef by the Deadly Ayo Morota and have been
using the underground sewers of Coruscant’s lowest levels as a base of operations.
Master Yoda realizes that this gives their group access to the entire city
without being seen or heard, something that could even pose a threat to the Jedi Order.
Quinlan Vos then tells Master Yoda that he did manage to infiltrate their organization
to find out who was really pulling the strings behind the assassinations,
and that he was so close to find out too… But unfortunately, his mission ended quite shockingly.
Following this, we cut straight to the flashback, right after Quinlan Vos has been exposed as a
spy for the Jedi Order, and has just been put on Trial for his treason against the Coruscant Mafia.
Importantly to them, Quinlan Vos has broken “The Code of the Streets”,
which all of Coruscant’s underground gangs follow in order to keep their organizations
running orderly, without sparking any gang wars… yep, pretty hilarious considering they
are literally criminal syndicates. Deception and treason are some of the most disgraceful actions
under the Code of the Streets, which Quinlan Vos has of course committed.
Ayo Morota is incredibly angry at Quinlan Vos, because he pretended to come to the the
group with nowhere to go, and claimed that he was expelled from the Jedi Order. After hearing this,
the group gave him a home and put their total trust in him, unfortunately all based on a lie.
They somehow discovered that Master Yoda had sent him on this mission to gather information on them.
Quinlan Vos just laughs at Ayo’s anger, asking “Let me get this straight,
Ayo… The lowest, vilest criminal class on coruscant is Judging ME, because I lied?”
Ayo fires back, saying “this trial is about a betryal of trust, Jedi Scum!”. Quinlan Vos then
savagely makes fun of her for being so sensitive, and shreds her to pieces for living in a sewer.
Ayo however is not having any more of this, demanding that Vos be quiet,
before bringing out the “judges' ' to determine what his punishment should be,
after determining he was guilty of treachery.
Her 100%, totally fair and definitely not biased judges, from a variety of different species,
all shout out “death to quinlan vos”. This paints a smirk on Ayo’s face, before she violently calls
for her brutish executioners to approach quinlan vos and bring him to death. As the
executioners surround Vos, he hilariously tries to reason with them, reminding them
of the good times they had together while they still thought he was a real member of the gang.
The leader of the group then orders his men to tear Quinlan apart,
but he immediately ignites his green lightsaber, slicing each of the weapons of the executioners in
half in quick succession, before slaughtering them moments later. Yeah, Quinlan has always
had that slightly darker side, which you’ll know if you’ve read some of his other comics.
As Quinlan Vos does this, Ayo Morota is furious,
demanding to know why her henchman didn't take Vos’s lightsaber away from him earlier.
The idiotic henchman somehow forgot to do one of the most important things, absolutely angering
Ayo and causing her to put him on the kill list right after Vos’ execution is complete.
A few more members of the gang charge at Vos, but he of course has no issue dealing with them,
before facing a flurry of blaster fire from behind. Yet another idiotic hechmen walks up to
the long haired Jedi and excitedly exclaims “I got him! I got him!!”, but he is instantly thrown down
into the deep sewers below, as Quinlan manages to leap through the air to a nearby platform.
As he continues rushing through the sewer systems, he encounters yet another group from the gang,
this time on their bikes, firing another burst of bolts at him.
These guys are once again absolutely useless,
with Quilan gracefully leaping over the top of them, and slicing their rides into 2 pieces.
As large blasts ring out behind quinlan, he begins sprinting away from the scene, climbing ladders
and running in various directions until eventually he loses his bearings and is lost in the sewers.
Ayo and her remaining crew do eventually spot Quinlan on their security cameras,
before personally leading the charge to chas him down and capture him. As quinlan is running,
a blast detonator is thrown right at him, eerily beeping before erupting into a ball of flames,
sending him flying through the air. Ayo then orders her men to chase him down
and find his body, believing that he is dead, but of course the Jedi
is very crafty and is hiding under the disgusting, green colored sewer water.
I feel bad for quinlan vos having to literally have that disgusting sewer water on his face.
Vos then reveals himself to the henchmen, but he very quickly takes them all down with his
lightsaber, scaring Ayo to death, leading her to run in horror away from the scene.
Unfortunately for her, she takes a wrong turn while running and comes
to the edge of the swerfall, being corned by Quinlan Vos.
The criminal leader fires her blaster at Vos, but he swiftly deflects each spot back at her,
before slicing her blade in half and being defeated.
Following her defeat, Quinlan furiously demands to know who hired her to kill the senators.
In response to this, she angrily tells quinlan that the Jedi are so self righteous that it
makes them blind. By extension, quinlan vos has no idea that this whole situation is much large
than him, and he has already lost. Finally, she says that she might be low-life scum to him,
but at least she knows when she’s lost, before saying “goodbye quinlan vos”,
and throwing herself down the sewerfall a shockingly large distance down, to her death.
Quinlan Vos is shocked by this, calling out to her, but there is nothing he can do…
She was already falling far too quickly for him to stop her now. Quinlan reaches
out with the force in horror, but he grip is met by empty space. Finally,
the Jedi master signs, knowing that her death is now certain.
This then rips Quinlan vos right back into the present time, where He asks Master Yoda what
Evil could possibly command such loyalty that would make Ayo take her own life.
Master Yoda then corrects Quinlan Vos, telling him that it was not loyalty that made her jump
to her death, but instead… fear. Master Yoda adds that fear can make one who lives below,
a slave to the one living in the highest tower.
Following this, we cut straight to Palpatine’s office where Mas Ammedda informs him that
Ayo Morota and the Red Hand Mafia have been wiped out by Quinlan Vos.
And to end the story, a Sinister Smile washes across Palpatine’s face, as he says “Good. Their
usefulness had come to an end. I knew Quinlan would serve a good purpose”... Very good indeed.
Palpatine is really showing his pure evil here. He just used the Red Hand mafia to wipe out many
of his political enemies, before wiping them out too to hide any trace of his involvement.
Thanks so much for watching, really hope you enjoyed the video.
Cheers guys, hope to see you in the next one!
