How Asajj Ventress Died FULL BACKSTORY EXPLAINED 

Somehow Ventress returned.

I don’t understand how Star Wars doesn’t realize you can kill off a good character but go back and explore the past to tell new stories with them. Bringing people back from the dead is so lame, and reinforces that there are no real stakes in Star Wars.

The author hinted at her returning to life at the end of the book. “Together, the two Jedi lay the Nightsister to rest in a dark pool near the abandoned Nightsisters' village. As Ventress's body enters the waters, the pool turns green, and the voices of the spirits of the deceased Nightsisters are heard, welcoming Ventress back”

Mother Talzin Returned a few times maybe it has to do with how powerful your Witchy powers are hence why the majority of night sisters haven't just respawned

Ventress is one of the most tragic and compelling characters ever made in Star Wars

I hope they do a live movies of Asajj. She deserves it...1❤

"We can't write new characters despite George giving us all the continuity we'd need, so now we're resurrecting characters because we suck".

If her body was left behind and voss escaped it would make sense to me that dukoo would try and salvage something to try and do something crazy

I'm glad we get her back. Ending her story in a book, no matter how cool...is kinda lame. Imagine ending Maul's story in a book...or Ahsoka...or...whatever, you get it. It's nice to have an ending to a story in animation...and maybe one day we'll get a glimpse of her in live action!

I might have a theory on how Ventress returns from the dead, In the end of Dark Disciple book, Obi-Wan and Quinlan Vos brought Ventress' body to the destructive Nightsister Cave Village, and when they put her body in the dark waters that would eventually turn green as that planet had finally acquired one of the lost Nightsister, and probably after when Obi-Wan and Quinlan had left, Ventress would come out from the magic green water, revived!!! As if they were like the Lazerus pit from the Batman series!!!

I've been bingeing your videos since last week, I love your content! Your narration of this story was beautiflly said! Dark Disciple is a great book. Glad Ventress is back!

I personally couldn't be happier that Asajj is back. She was one of my favorite characters growing up, and she is so much more complex than most other Star Wars characters in that she's not purely good or evil. She's been every which way in between and it makes her so much more deeper and interesting. I for one was actually not a big fan of when they killed her off, because I felt like she would have so much more to offer to the story. Plus she's such a badass.

Darth Sidious - “I have died before “ Asaaj Ventress - “So what? So have I” 😃😃😃😃

Bruh how many times do you we have to see characters come back from the dead

I loved Dark Disciple. It’s one of my favorite books. And Asaj is definitely one of my favorite characters. Being that she is a night sister there can be a good story as to how she’s back. It would be cool if Voss found a way to use night sister magic after being unable to cope with her death. So long as they remain faithful to the novel, I’m here for seeing what story they tell. Hopefully it’s a good one.

your retelling of her story (man, you have a powerful gift ... and I think I'm not the first one who noticed that!) makes me want to rewatch all the clone wars episodes she's in, because she's one of my all time star wars favs. Put that aside, I kinda see her return ambigiously, because It really belittles her epic death in Dark Deciples. It was one of those endings I didn't want to rewrite. Imagine my surprise when I found out that somebody else had done it !

Taking my lunch after having to delay it for 4 hours, thanks for the vid to watch. Makes my day jus a little better

Hey Theory! Great video as always, i couldn't help but realise you have a great voice for narration and i know you do voices very well. My question is have you done any Audiobook Narrations or would you be interested in doing so? If you couldn't land a new novel casting for say audible, could you even just narrate an existing book and post it to youtube? idk if theres a copyright issue somewhere there or not...anyway love you bye

She is a true Star Wars Legend. Ahsoka is the last of the Legends.

Bringing this channel back to its roots, brings a tear to my eyes. I LOVED this video man!

I'm willing to bet it was some Dathomir witchery that brought her back. I mean, it rearranged matter to create new legs for Darth Maul, physically enhanced Savage, and resurrection spells aren't too far out there when dealing with Dathomir magic, (zombie army during the Clone Wars and Mother Talzin temporarily coming back after being slain by Windu).

This is literally fire

Death, continuity, turning to and away from the Dark Side... none of it has meaning anymore. It's all just "a good question for another time".

Adam Ventress by far is one of my favorite characters. I was sad to see her go, (though her death was incredibly poetic ). I’m glad the brought her back. Maybe she will redeem herself even more and train Omega.

In the Dark Disciple it was never stated that she died…The facts are that Obi-Wan and Voss stand by there lifeless body in the sea and as they are walking away the sea spills green colour. The end. That are the facts. No narration about her death nor living at that moment.

Disney SW: death? That tickles. It totally undermines her sacrifice.

Ventress’s been through a lot since the clone wars and the end of it, she came a long way. I’m happy she appeared in the latest episode with her long haired look.

Always was a big comic Ventress fan, she got so watered down in canon

Asaj ventress is amazing lady assassin of the sith.

I would say Quinlan and Asajj Ventress should definitely be covered in Tales of the Jedi

No death in Disney Star Wars is sacred... Except for Qui Gon Jin, apparently.

It was touching seeing ventress connect with that giant creature instead of killing it something her old self likely would have done, shows how far she's come after all this time.

Tales of the Empire: Somehow Barriss Offee returned.

Her body was literally put in a pool om Dathomere and the waters turned green hinting towards resurrection. How come people keep ignoring that...

So, basically, Dark Disciple, is just a copy of Quinlan Vos' arc on Republic's and Jedi: Count Dooku's comics, from the old Expanded Universe (aka Legends)... I mean, Quinlan Vos being send by the Jedi on a mission to infiltrate the Separatists' side, undercoverd as one of Count Dooku's apprendices, falling in love with a woman who works to both the Jedi and Dooku, eventually indeed falling to the darkside and is redeemed by a Jedi woman in the end... Basically the same story, but with the diference that the Legends' one version was better done, and demmanded several comic issues to be developed, creating a more realistically arc to the character. One example is: When Dooku push Quinlan Vos to the edgy of the dark side, making him confronts his aunt (Tinté Vos) about his parent's death by the hand of the Anzati. What made Vos to unlock the ability to read people through the Force, as objects. This revealed that she was the responsible for his parents' assassination, what makes Quinlan Vos to fall completlly to dark side, and to kill his aunt, becoming Dooku's new dark acolyte. (Jedi: Count Dooku) Another important example: The Jedi on Legends, contrary to their counterparts from the new canon, do not wanted Dooku's death, because Mace Windu already realized that his death, in this late moment, will not change the course of the war. Mace Windu had the ability to read shatterpoints through the Force, that is certain moments that, if changed, changes the entirely future. And Dooku's possibly death on Geonosis and Mace's death, by the hands of Jango Fett, would surely stop the eventual war to ever happening. That opportunity was already lost, making them just want to Quinlan Vos to infiltrate and sabotage the Sith.

Wow this drew me in so much. I would love to see an animated adaptation of this story...live action if done properly would be awesome to see. I can see Jason Momoa as Quinlan Vos

I'm reading all legends and cannon adult and young adult novels in chronological order, I just got through this book recently and it is by far my favorite cannon novel so far.

So good, this feels like classic SWT

Asajj Feline: I still have 8 more lives.

I miss star grift. it introduced me to your channel. I'm trying out the breakdown video and I think I like this content.

Great video , Theory. This was an excellent in-depth potrayal Ventress. She's one of the greatest character in the Star Wars Universe. I liked the Bad Batch so far, but this move with Ventress is a..... not good.

I love Asajj and loved to see her gain. But retconning her death must be explained well. We do have Talon keft as well, it says that George might have planned to use her in his sequels. Maybe Favreau can do her justice

Count Dooku: *exists* Ventress: If you strike me down, I shall be become more powerful than you can possibly imagine. Nightsister Pool aka Lazarus Pit: *panics*

Great video, couple of mispronounced words in it but it was clear what you meant. Nice work.

Time will tell to see how they explain this but the show runner Jennifer Corbet has said they do have a plan to tell her story in accordance to dark disciple

I loved what they’ve done with Ahsoka, she’s my favorite character. I am glad that ventures is back because I’ve been following her since the 2D clone wars!! And as for Sabine, I mean I don’t have a super big issue with her force powers do think they could’ve slowly developed the powers instead of just off rip

can you learn vaapad by psychometry if you finds mace windu's lightsaber or body or severed hand?

There's a possiblity for Dave Feloni to direct an animated adaptation of Dark Disciple.

Hey Theory I'm 5 trophies away from a platinum trophy for Jedi Survivor hope to see you stream some more of it

0:30 nah no, ain't no spying the council wanted Quinlan to assassinate Dooku because of how ruthless and cruel he was getting throughout the war

definitely a retcon that needs explained. but this is kind of an okay retcon because ventress is awesome.

It’s a common joke that cats have Nine Lives so I would think it’s just a throw away line in reference to that

I think when Ventress originally went back to Mother in CW and her mom healed her I believe she may have also put a spell on/in her that would protect her shoulder she be killed 1 time by dooku who would do so in a duel and would heal her but at the same time out her in a coma so she could recover for a period of time which she did and that’s how she came back

I like that she has returned to the screen. I hope they do something with QV maybe she is part of the underground that helps save the Jedi? Maybe Vader ultimately kills her?

So the Daughter transformed into Ashoka and travelled through time and she saved Ventress in the past and brought her to save the Bad Batch with the power of all the colours of the Night Sister magic rainbow, specifically the blue and pink magic

For me if she’s alive due to her actually having multiple lives I like it. Because it’s not like she just survived, it actually makes sense and is very cool.

This is beautiful story.This is beautiful.I'm glad she's back😊I think her sisters resurrected her.Asajj is really cool. It doesn't ruin everything. Looking forward seeing her more😀Have a great day too😀It's 7 am here. May the Force be with you too,always😀

I 100% feel like they failed with Grogu, in pulling him from the Mandalorian, so they said, well why not do the same thing with Bad Batch and have 1 split off and train to be a jedi...

So someone sacrificed themself to bring another to the light. Then that person resurrected, good stuff 👍

I always feels like if it’s not on screen, then it’s not canon

I'm excited to see Ventress again!!! She one of my favorites,who I feel is unrated.m😁💖

I hope we get to see Quinlan next.

Bad Batch writers: Wait what book?

Now she is back

Somehow every Star Wars characters returned

love asajj...good vid brotha, MTFBWY

If Reva can't die I'm ok with Ventress staying alive

The dark disciple the book reveal that ventress was put to rest in a mountain that have a pool of water that could revive a death person I don’t know if tales of the sith explore ventres revival

definitely undermines, but… in the same way we want Mace back i am so happy to see her. loved her character and it brings the force into the BB. plus if anyone was supposed to be dead it was Maul and every SW lover i know is happy he returned. Plus i love a good redemption arc and even though Ventress already had one, expanding on it is far more interesting than Rey, Reva or Sabine. I Love Ahsoka… and these two have history. what a great reunion that would be if we get it

I feel like they could do a lot with merrin depending on how the jedi series ends

Give ventress her own show

What if Mother Talzin didn’t abandon her after all and brought her back from the dead?

On the timeline, did all this happen after Dookus tried to kill Ventress and the Savage Oppress stuff? Ior he met her while she was Dookus apprentice and their relationship grew over time. I'm trying to place it where it goes before revenge of the Sith. During what season of Clone Wars would this all fall?

Lucasfilm actually said a while ago that we are going to see how she got to the bad batch in an upcoming way that was not demonstrated in this episode.

THEORY You should add Ventress's light Sabers to your collection and for your saber store.

No one's ever REALLY gone....

I know in the book it seems like she dies but they did kind of give themselves some wiggle room no? She was brought back to Dathomire and put into the pool of life the water of life then started to glow green once she was put inside. It is said that the water of life could be used to resurrect the recently slain. So its technically not a retcon id say now that she's back.

Would have been cool to have actually seen it....

Nightsister magic is very interesting the potential is limitless that has to have something to do with how she survived I wonder if they could even control a Starweird like they do zombies at first with the space plankton in the distance in the Ashoka show I thought they were Starweird and the great mothers we’re going to use magic to put them under their control to go kill Ahsoka while she was in the whale bone field to my disappointment that’s all it was space plankton 😂

The other Ventress in the book was a clone. This one is the real Ventress. Yeah I’m reaching, just trying to make some sense out of it. I’m glad she’s back. She’s a badass like you said. Thanks for the video.

I'm fine with her returning but, yes, I would like an explanation that keeps Dark Disciple cannon.

Great Video! Personally, As someone who's never read Dark Disciple, I'm glad She's Back. I know that She had a very Meaningful Death, But I think that they brought Her back in a way that stays true to the Book and brings back an Awesome Character that We All Love.

I think it would be pretty cool to see Ventress train Omega in a distant future series after clone force 99 meets its glorious end. Yea it breaks canon but I’m sure they could make something up like they always do unfortunately. “Somehow Ventress returned” oh well why not at this point.

Maybe when merrin revived all of the nightsisters ventress got revived as well and healed over time due to her being alive or healed herself

I loved the book Dark Disciple, and her death was so beautiful! But I am glad to see her back.

I love Ventress returning my thing is is the book Canon, if not this makes total sense, but if is canon the fact that she faded away insteady pf laying dead on the ground leads me to believe it was some Night sister Magic

Asaj’s outfit in the Bad Batch is very similar to Quinlan’s, I hope that she in the end of Bad Batch gets to take Omega as her apprentice and we get a spin off show about it. Maybe they find Quinlan still alive.

Has no one stopped to think maybe they are just finally showing her dark disciple arc? Maybe omega is on the way to her meeting quinlin and that her story might show the dooku battle? At this time maybe her death hasn’t happened yet.

I'm curious about where Filoni's The clone wars cartoon left ventress, as the novel will likely be mostly ignored

Why do I not recall Quin being in the Clone Wars animated series?

Is this not like the second time she come back? Was she not supose to die way back in the clone war in a comic and Feloni decided to disregard this to keep using her in the clone war? My memory might be wrong tho...

I’m guessing there will eventually be an animated dark disciple animation that Lucasfilm will make somewhere some way that would be changed to an Empire setting rather than separatist. And instead of Dooku, it will be Vader.

Man i am too drunk for this lol.

Ironic how the Jedi Order here was very against Romantic Love.. an they unknowingly an basically played match maker here.. they shoulda an might as well have set table an lit a candle for Voss An Ventress an hired some droid Violinist to serenade them...

4:39

Schrödinger's Ventress!

"It absolutely makes no sense of course..." Thats pretty much it. Just Disney diminishing the significance of death. No theory, its not cool. Oh we got this character that we use to have that was well written but are bringing her back since we can't think or create a character that people would enjoy...

somehow omega will get trained by my fav jedi, quinlan vos

According to the Sith Lords of Korriban Sidious and all Bainites are pretending to be Sith. I think it's their custom to call each other fake.

Dude forgot about Shin again 🤣
