I absolutely respect her desire to not return to Star Wars, but I'd be overjoyed if at the end of the episode when Asajj returns, she's revealed as the writer for the episode. Her perspective is just so important to the development of the character. No matter what, I hope she's living the life she wants to live. Great job as always, Jen. Sounds like you're going to make us cry with the next one! 😭
Consistently blown away at the quality of this series. Which is even more impressive when you're already set a high bar for yourself with Happy Beeps! Thanks for the wonderful presentations!
Another great episode. So well researched! The pace is outstanding. I never feel I can take my eyes off it as I would miss something important. Amazing work.
Fantastic episode, thank you for your hard work and insightful approach. ❤ Keep up the good work! George Lucas turns 80 this year and what a great way to celebrate his creation and the talented people who have contributed over the decades!
Such a great video shining a light on Katie Lucas! I know a lot of the narrative is a bit more contained than the OT and PT, but if there's another "season" of The Jedi Beat it would be great having an episode about production of the Sequel Trilogy!
Thanks for your deep-dive video! I never knew that George Lucas’ own daughter helped shape Asajj Ventress’ story. That makes me love Asajj even more! Her character arc was one of the most interesting and compelling in the Star Wars Universe. So excited to see her return. Well-done to Katie Rose!
Another great episode from Jennifer Landa and ForceCenter. I felt like I knew some of this, but Jennifer’s goes into such detail that I realized I didn’t know half the story. This was great to see, and now I want more stories from Katie Rose as well.
I'm really enjoying these, Jennifer! I've always been curious about Katie's and Marcia's involvement. These Beats are so interesting and informative! Thanks for making them!
Jenifer, Asajj Ventress has always been one of my hidden favorites. She has her own arc, very private without anyone's help, she did it on her own, stumbled, picked herself up, and found a way back to the light. What I didn't know was Katie's involvement with this character, no doubt she captured the character perfectly and made it her own. Thanks so much for all the research, script, edit, and presentation. This series has become my favorite series to watch; love your smile and energy. Can't wait for the next episode. Best, Tony
I learned a lot from this! I'd followed her episodes of Clone Wars she but never knew where she went from there or her background. I'm going to look up the book Herland by Charlotte Perkins Gilman. (I love books about utopias.) I got fed up with the fans long ago and try to ignore them. They identify as fans but hate at least half of the Star Wars movies/shows.
Another great episode in this series! Katie wrote some great stories for TCW. I’d love to see her enticed back somehow too. Thank for putting so much work into these Jen. They’re the best! Can’t wait to see the Princess!
This was such an eye opening Jedi Beat podcast episode for me back in the early Forcecenter days. Glad it was selected to make the jump to the RU-vid side of things!
Distillers was a fun surprise. I saw them several times back in like 03-04, but outside of the shows I've never heard anyone bring them up who I hadn't introduced to the band.
I’m definitely going to view those clones wars episodes in a different light now after watching this. Another great episode Jennifer! Maybe one day she will come back to SW for something. I’d love to see her get a credit for helping flesh out Ventress when she is revealed in TBB.
Great video! Thanks for doing it. I'd also like to see Katie Lucas back. She helped make Venttress one of my favorite characters. With Asajj back in Bad Batch my head canon theory that Shin is the love child of Ventress and Quinlan Vos can actually be true. If she ever appears in live-action, which she should, here are my casting ideas for an older Asajj Ventress: - Cate Blanchett - Uma Thurman - Angelina Jolie For a younger Asajj: - Evan Rachel Wood - Cara Delevingne - Margot Robbie (not realistic but had to mention) - Lauren Cohan (Maggie of TWD) - Anya Taylor-Joy (Queen's Gambit. My top choice for Ventress) - Sadie Sink (Max of Stranger Things)

Man I hope Katie was at the very least consulted if not intrinsic to the return of Ventress in Bad Batch. I don't even know how much of the dialogue and story points of Dark Disciple were kept from her scripts, but I do wish we had gotten those episodes because the story was just that good (and that's not to slight Christie Golden, the book made me want to see the final episodes more), and I don't know how they're going to reconcile the end of that book with Ventress' return. Katie knows this character more than most, I hope she had (and continues to have) a hand in her story.
