In 2003, just one year after Attack of the Clones, a character originally designed for that movie was given new life in animated form. Artist Dermot Power created a sketch of a very specific type of Sith Lord for Attack of the Clones, but when Count Dooku became the Sith baddie of that movie, this other warrior was reborn as Dooku’s secret operative in the first animated version of Clone Wars. Developed and directed by beloved animator Genndy Tartakovsky, Clone Wars gave life to the character of Asajj Ventress, which had a lasting impact not just on the era of The Clone Wars, but on Star Wars canon in general.
Recently, Inverse caught up with Tartakovsky to discuss his latest animated film, Fixed, but we also managed to wax nostalgic about the Force with him, and asked him if he could ever return to the Sith villain he helped bring to life.
