Jedi. Their Order is a fading light in the dark. Corrupt and arrogant. They must be punished! The Jedi shall fall!
~ Asajj Ventress declaring her intentions.
Remember... you always have a choice to be better. You always have a choice to... to pick the right path. Even if that choice comes a little late.
~ Ventress in both redeeming herself and Quinlan Vos.

Asajj Ventress is a major antagonist in the Star Wars franchise. She is a Dark Jedi and member of the Nightsisters who served as Count Dooku's apprentice and personal assassin and the commander of the Droid Army of the Confederacy of Independent Systems, before becoming a bounty hunter.

She was voiced by Nika Futterman in Star Wars: The Clone Wars and its sequel Star Wars: The Bad Batch.

What Makes Her Magnificent?[]

  • She is a highly skilled fighter, whether it is using her lightsabers, Force powers or unarmed combat, being able to hold her own in most fights.
    • She often fight Anakin Skywalker and Obi-Wan Kenobi manage to hold against either of them separate and together.
    • She manage to be oe of the few duelist to defeat Count Dooku in a fight.
    • She manage to fight Krismo Sodi, the leader of the Kage Warriors using pure skill alone and finish him with a force choke.
    • She manage to take out Hunter, Wrecker, and Crosshair with advance martial art skills.
  • She can also defeat her enemies through cunning and intelligence. For example, she bribed clone trooper Slick to spy for the Separatists and dueled Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker as a distraction while the Separatists were starting their invasion of Christophsis. When her plans had worked, Ventress pretended to surrender and reactivated her lightsabers into the floor as the Jedi approached her, causing them to fall below.
  • She has a tragic past and has suffered a series of devastating losses in her life: when she was only an infant, the Nightsisters were forced to surrender her to the pirate Hal'Sted, who enslaved her though was implied to have been kind to her. After losing him, she trained under Jedi Master Ky Narec but later witnessed his death at the hands of pirates, which motivated her to embrace the dark side. She became the apprentice of Count Dooku, but he eventually betrayed her and massacred most of her people.
  • She selects Savage Opress to serve Dooku's new apprentice and kill him at the right time, though Opress betrays her as well.
  • She works as a bounty hunter after surviving the genocide of the Nightsisters, briefly joining Boba Fett and his crew on a mission.
  • When learning the bounty hunters are transporting a girl who is forced to marry a tyrant, Ventress saves and returns her to her family, while still slyly managing to collect a bounty of credits.
  • As a bounty hunter, she also makes unlikely alliances with Obi-Wan and Ahsoka Tano, saving the former from Darth Maul and Savage and aiding the latter (who was falsely accused of bombing the Jedi Temple) in escaping the clones.
  • She gives Anakin information that leads to him exposing Barriss Offee as the true culprit of the bombing.
  • She carries out a successful robbery of a freighter cargo with pirate Lassa Rhayme, during which she poses as a Jedi hostage to Hondo Ohnaka's gang and steals the cargo while Rhayme deals with the rival pirates.
  • She partners with Quinlan Vos on a mission to assassinate Dooku and trains him in the ways of the dark side, with the two even falling in love.
  • She sacrifices herself to save Vos from Dooku, which ultimately leads Vos to redeem himself.
  • She successfully faked her death and is still alive by the Imperial Era, being in hiding from the Empire.
  • She also kept her word to the Bad Batch and Omega while hiding the fact Omega does have a high midiclorian count.
