Summary
Star war : The Bad Batchseason 3 is bringing backSith apprentice Asajj Ventress , who has truly earned a salvation account just as much as Anakin Skywalker - if not more . Asajj Ventress made her canon unveiling inStar Wars : The Clone Warsas the villainous apprentice to Count Dooku . She became a remarkably complex character , her story even uphold in Christie Golden’sDark Disciplenovel , and it now seems she ’s survived into the Dark Times - with Ventress appearing in theBad Batchseason 3 trailer .
buyback has long been a core radical ofStar Wars , ever since Luke Skywalker insisted there was still safe in his Padre . This is all the more astounding pass the scale of Anakin ’s sin , straddle from the slaughter of the younglings to follow over the destruction of Alderaan . Even so , Anakin was welcomed back to the light - with Anakin ’s late return as a Force ghost inAhsokaproving he was accepted by the Force itself . It ’s more than time for Asajj to get a standardised arc .
What ’s the best way to look out Star Wars ? Here ’s everything you need to know to watch in release or timeline club , and how to include the TV shows .
Anakin’s Story Has Always Paralleled Ventress
The Clone Wars Season 5, Episode 20, “The Wrong Jedi”
InStar Wars : The Clone Warsseason 5,Ahsoka is incorrectly impeach of execution and put on trial , which sends Anakin into a panic , violent spiral — another example of his severe issue with fastening . One dupe of that wrath is Asajj Ventress , whom Anakin tracks down , believing she is to charge for Ahsoka being draw up . The two then fight , and the fit is rife with proof that , at leastby this point in the narrative , Anakin is closer to the dark side than Ventress is , and not only because he present up in a cloak heavy remindful of Palpatine .
The showdown is infect with the drear side , but it is most famed for Ventress ' admission she and Ahsoka were in many direction the same . Still , while Ventress is correct to notice this similarity , the accuracy is that her story mirrors Anakin ’s more than anyone else ’s . Like Anakin , Ventress know for years as a hard worker - having been taken from thethe Nightsisters of Dathomirby a pirate . She too was taken in by a Jedi who was then cut down , reinforce her awe of loss and grief .
Like Anakin, Ventress Has Suffered Terrible Loss and Rejection
The Clone Wars Season 3 , Episode 12 , " Nightsisters "
In a way eerily similar to Anakin ’s slaughter of the Tuskens inStar Wars : Episode II - Attack of the Clones , The Clone Warsdepicts in flashback the moment Asajj witness the death of her Jedi Master and savagely round those who shot him , even saying,“I must have retaliation . “Both events immediately keep up the death of a bonk one , and both make the fictional character somewhat sympathetic despite their violent response . Anakin saw his mother , after clearly brutal torture , conk in his arms , and Ventress , very similarly , catches her master after he ’s been shot , and he dies in her coat of arms .
Ventress ' story until this point inThe Clone Warshas also been unremitting loss and rejection . Although the Nightsisters assert they had no choice , Ventress ' life history fundamentally start with rejection , the Nightsisters allowing her to be taken by the plagiarizer . After being enslave , Ventress is finally freed and with someone who is dependable , Ky Narec , only for him to be gun down in front of her . When she turns to the dark side and becomes Count Dooku ’s apprentice , she has at least some sense of connexion , albeit a flawed one , only for Dooku to cast her aside like garbage .
Both Anakin & Asajj Ventress Were Manipulated Into Falling To The Dark Side
The Clone Wars
By the meter Anakin and Obi - Wan battle on Mustafar inRevenge of the Sith , Anakin seems all but brainwashed , and it ’s no secret why . Palpatine has figure out heavily , from the second Anakin get in on Coruscant , to draw him to the dark side , his endeavor only increase throughout the prequel trilogy . ThroughoutRevenge of the Sith , Palpatine also like a shot tells Anakin the only fortune to save Padmé is through the sour side and falsify Anakin ’s perceptual experience of the Jedi .
While perhaps less strident than Palpatine , who has a very heavy hand despite flying under the radar , Count Dooku also manipulates Ventress to draw her to the dark , exploiting her loss and rejection . Ventress , when she meets Dooku , is incredibly vulnerable . She has never had a true domicile , and she had limited exposure to any actual connections . That puts her in the perfect position to be willing to do anything to finger validated , and that is exactly what Dooku does . Through his training , Dooku handle Ventress as important and desirable ; this make his casting her away even more afflictive .
Asajj Ventress' Dark Side ‘Crimes’ Pale in Comparison to Anakin’s
Star Wars: Episode II - Attack of the Clones
In terms of pardon and salvation , Anakin has done a lot worse than Ventress , andReturn of the Jedisaw Anakin welcomed back to the lightheaded side of the Force with open arms . Anakin even gets to stand next to Obi - Wan and Master Yoda at the final stage of the photographic film as a Force specter . He has only gotten more grace as time has gone on , with his last appearance inAhsokaseeing him as a wise Force ghost looking down upon his former Padawan , and the door remains open for him to reappear and keep on a positive arc .
This is a massive buyback story , considering that , by the closing of the prequel trilogy , he had committed multiple slaughters . Ventress is sure as shooting no saint , but by comparison , she has a much smaller hill to rise to be ' worthy ' of redemption . Of course , that concept is blemished — in an interview withEntertainment Weekly , Adam Driver ask what Kylo Ren had to be redeemed for , throwing into sharp fill-in that buyback is not the only or even idealistic outcome for all role — but Asajj has shown a desire to be seen other than , begin with her serve Ahsoka inThe Clone Wars .
Star Wars : The Bad Batchseason 3 ’s trailer hints that it may give Ventress that overconfident arc , with her yellow-bellied lightsabers - introduced inDark Disciple- hinting at the fact she is far more than she was . It ’s too soon to say whether Ventress will be redeem , but the fact remains that it is possible . Hopefully , her account will indeed head in such an exciting direction .
