Asajj Ventress
Asajj Ventress (/əˈsɑːʒ ˈvɛntrəs/) is a character in the Star Wars franchise created by George Lucas. She was introduced in Genndy Tartakovsky's 2003 animated series Star Wars: Clone Wars (voiced by Grey DeLisle). The character later appeared in the 2008 animated film Star Wars: The Clone Wars, the 2008 television series of the same name, the 2021 Disney+ series Star Wars: The Bad Batch and the 2025 series Tales of the Underworld (voiced by Nika Futterman).
Ventress is a Zabrak from Dathomir's Nightsister clan of witches who is surrendered into slavery as an infant before being rescued and trained in the ways of the Force as a Jedi Padawan. The death of her Jedi master causes Ventress to fall to the dark side of the Force and become the Sith Lord Count Dooku's informal apprentice and personal assassin. She serves as a commander for the Confederacy of Independent Systems and fights the Jedi of the Galactic Republic during the Clone Wars until she is betrayed by Dooku. Ventress returns to the Nightsisters and makes numerous failed attempts on Dooku's life, after which she turns to bounty hunting as an independent mercenary. She forms an alliance, and later a relationship, with the Jedi Quinlan Vos and seemingly sacrifices herself to save him from Dooku, although she survives via resurrection by Mother Talzin and attempts to locate the Jedi path and encounters Clone Force 99 during the reign of the Galactic Empire.
The character also appears in tie-in Star Wars media such as books, comics, and video games, and has become a favorite among fans.
Before the character of Count Dooku was developed, the art department for Star Wars: Episode II – Attack of the Clones (2002) developed a villainess as a potential main antagonist.
When the Star Wars expanded universe resurrected this female Sith idea as one of Dooku's underlings who could appear more frequently throughout the Clone Wars, this nameless Separatist Commander was dubbed Juno Eclipse but the name was rejected as "not villainous enough", and she was renamed Asajj Ventress. The name Juno Eclipse was later given to a character from the video game Star Wars: The Force Unleashed, with no relation to Ventress.
LucasArts's Leland Chee suggested using "Asajj" as the character's first name, naming her after the character Asaji from Akira Kurosawa's Throne of Blood.
Asajj Ventress was voiced by Grey DeLisle in the 2003 Clone Wars micro-series, and by Nika Futterman in the 2008 animated film Star Wars: The Clone Wars and its subsequent TV series, as well most of her video game and other animated appearances.
Ventress is an antagonist in the 2008 The Clone Wars film. As the disciple of Count Dooku, she helps him with his plan to turn Jabba the Hutt against the Galactic Republic by kidnapping his son Rotta. Ventress fights Jedi Knight Anakin Skywalker and apprentice Ahsoka Tano, who rescue Rotta, and later also battles Jedi Master Obi-Wan Kenobi, who defeats her, forcing her to flee.
