20 Years Of Asajj Ventress: 6 Ways Star Wars Has Changed Count Dooku"s Apprentice Since Her Debut

Summary

• Asajj Ventress, a popular Star Wars villain, first appeared in the Legends continuity 20 years ago and later became part of the new canon.
• In the new canon, Ventress is a Dathomirian rather than a Rattataki and has a tragic backstory involving the Sith.
• Ventress's story in the new canon includes her becoming a bounty hunter and forming a close relationship with Quinlan Vos before ultimately sacrificing herself for his redemption.

Asajj Ventress is perhaps the Star Wars franchise’s most famous prequel-era villain who has never appeared in a live-action property. Ventress first debuted in the Star Wars Legends continuity, and she went on to become one of the first Legends-era characters to be brought into the new canon. 2008’s Star Wars: The Clone Wars may have been released before Legends became an alternate timeline in April 2014, but it never fit into the old Expanded Universe, necessitating that it be considered exclusive to the new canon. Asajj Ventress has now been part of the Star Wars franchise for over 20 years, and she has changed significantly across both continuities.
Asajj Ventress was initially envisioned as the Sith apprentice of Palpatine between Darth Maul and Darth Vader, but was ultimately replaced by Count Dooku. Asajj Ventress' origins were reworked, making her the unofficial Sith apprentice of Count Dooku during the Clone Wars. Asajj Ventress debuted in John Ostrander and Jan Duursema’s Jedi: Mace Windu, released in early 2003, but she would make her onscreen debut later that year via Genndy Tartakovsky’s Star Wars: Clone Wars microseries. Asajj Ventress was re-imagined in the new canon by 2008’s The Clone Wars, but both timelines gave her a fascinating story. Here is how Dooku’s famous Rattataki apprentice has changed since her 2003 debut.
