The Bad Batch Aftershow (3.9) | Ventress Resurrected? | Do The Special Editions Improvements To Older Fans?
She's back! Ventress has been resurrected somehow, we dive deep into this episode of the bad batch. There's a lot to get into here, debating ressurecting characters, some deserve it and some don't. Those who have completed the Clone Wars journey and read Dark Disciple will know exactly how her fate wound up.. or do we?
Asajj Ventress was a whirlwind of rage and sorrow. Betrayal carved a cavern in her heart, leaving only a burning desire for revenge. Consumed by the dark side, she craved power, a twisted echo of the strength she yearned for as a Jedi Padawan. Yet, beneath the fury flickered a flicker of vulnerability. The sting of rejection by Dooku, the echo of her master's death, hinted at a complex soul trapped in a web of vengeance. There were moments, fleeting and fragile, where one could glimpse the warrior yearning for redemption, a warrior haunted by the ghosts of what could have been. And along came Quinlan Vos. The redeeming event in her life. It's unfortunate people could not see this story play out on screen, but I urge listeners out there to read through Dark Disciple. It's not only one of the greatest star wars stories told, clone wars episodes produced (in a novel), but it's one of the best endings for a character we ever saw.
