The Clone Wars told the story of already familiar characters like Anakin and Obi-Wan, and now-familiar characters like Ahsoka and Cad Bane, but some of its most interesting characters are those who debuted in the animated series and have never made the jump to live-action. Now, one of those characters is getting the spotlight in the upcoming animated series Star Wars: Tales of the Underworld. Her appearance not only provides more context about a terrifying assassin, but solves a mystery a decade in the making.
Fans of The Clone Wars (and its non-canonical predecessor, Clone Wars) know Asajj Ventress as Count Dooku’s personal assassin, an intimidating Nightsister who frequently found herself at odds with the Jedi. Later, she took up bounty hunting, a profession that saw her working with her old foes, and even rescuing Obi-Wan Kenobi at one point.
