Ventress makes like her rival Obi-Wan and stabs the guy, but does it a lot more subtly than Obi-Wan ever did. An alien chats her up with a line that is amusingly specific – “bald babe” – and it makes sense since he’s bald, too. She’s still got her Sith attitude, though. Ventress is trying to get lost in Tatooine’s small-time scum and villainy. I like the purple accents, and the whole costume has an air of being patched together. It shows off some leg while keeping the tabard and boots common to Star Wars aesthetic, which makes sense for the hot climate. “Bounty” explores her reactions to recently fleeing the world that was very temporarily her refuge.Įxotic music accompanies the opening shots of Asajj entering her new hideout. In the same way, Asajj Ventress is a mix of ferocious, adult skills and a childlike need for a place to call home. Instead of being the pure white knight he dresses like, Obi-Wan is surprisingly skilled at impersonating bad guys and cutting off arms at bars. Instead of all barbarian anger all the time, Darth Maul has a soft Coruscanti accent. Showing contrast is a great way to make viewers curious about a character, and it shows up a lot in Star Wars. Along the way she’s become one of the more complex characters in the Expanded Universe, in part because of her contrasting characteristics. Her biography is a list of narrow escapes punctuated by machinations and a flirty sort of elegance. Ever since she joined Dooku she’s been hounding Anakin and Obi-Wan. Despite being shuffled from one Master, Ky Narec, to another, Count Dooku, she is far from a child she spent some time in control of an entire criminal organization on Rattatak and taught herself the two-lightsaber style, Jar’Kai. Last week’s “Massacre” of the Nightsisters was the second time Asajj has left a significant body count behind her. Asajj Ventress has escaped death almost as many times as people around her have died.
