Check out Yakface.com's look at Han Solo (Bespin), recently released in The Vintage Collection! This is the best Bespin Han we've gotten to date! He's got a great paint deco, updated articulation over past versions and has some nice, screen accurate accessories. Seriously, this version should be in every Star Wars fan's collection! Even the absence of a holster strap is easily overlooked!
Enjoy!

Vos isn't a favorite of mine but I might get him just for the awesome card.
So does this mean that he was hanging around on Tatooine?
Either he's not a very good jedi for missing that "vergence in the force" that Quigon felt, or he's not a very good jedi for noticing, investigating and then not telling anyone.
So does this mean that he was hanging around on Tatooine?
The image on the card is of a background character that Star Wars writer John Ostrander picked out and expanded upon in the Dark Horse Comics.
Initially the background character was just that, background, but with Ostrander and Jan Dursema he suddenly became something much more.
The story goes that he was on Tatooine on another mission, unaware of Qui-Gon's plight. I suspect if Qui-Gon had not actually met Anakin he wouldn't have found him either.
Of course the Force works in mysterious ways.
In one of the comics Vos actually later muses that had he been aware of Qui-Gon's trouble he certainly would have aided him.
In any case at this point Vos has one of the most expansive stories in the Star Wars EU. He's been both Jedi and Sith(or almost) and he survived Order 66. Where he went after that we don't know.
