Underworld Saga Debuts with Asajj Ventress's Resurgence in First Episode
Bringing Back the Dark: Asajj Ventress Makes a Shocking Resurrection in Tales of the Underworld
Ready to dive deep into the dark side? Asajj Ventress, the legendary villainess from Star Wars, is back, and she's not holding back in the new anthology series, Tales from the Underworld. This highly anticipated series was unveiled at the Star Wars Celebration Japan, showcasing a panel dedicated to 20 years of Lucasfilm Animation.
The action kicks off with the first episode, "A Way Forward," which takes us straight after the tragic events of Dark Disciple. As Quinlan Vos and Obi-Wan Kenobi bid farewell to Ventress, they place her veiled body in the eerie pools of Dathomir. But just as they prepare to leave, something unexpected happens. Ventress miraculously reappears, not as a mere spirit but as a live, breathing being. How did this happen? The series leaves this question hanging, adding an intriguing twist to her return.
Mother Talzin, the charismatic Nightsister leader, appears to Ventress, offering her a choice: stay in the spirit world or return to the mortal realm. But there's a catch - her heart's desire comes at a price. Ventress makes her decision, stepping back into the flesh and actively embracing her dark destiny.
The episode then transitions to a bustling port city on an unknown planet, but during the beginning of the Empire's rule. Ventress, now sporting her iconic hair from The Bad Batch, is busy maintaining security at a transit station, using her formidable skills to keep troublemakers at bay. A run-in with a Rodian passenger who attempts to bypass security using force lands Ventress in a brutal confrontation, which catches the attention of a young Padawan she later protects.
This young Padawan shows up without the means to pay for passage and tries to use a Jedi mind trick to secure a spot on Ventress' shuttle. Unfortunately for him, his attempt fails spectacularly. Just as Ventress is about to send him away, an Imperial Inquisitor arrives, intent on capturing the Padawan. What follows is a thrilling lightsaber battle, a foreshadowing of Ventress' allegiance and the connection to the ex-Jedi network introduced in Obi-Wan Kenobi.
In the end, Ventress manages to protect the young Padawan, leaving fans excited to see how their relationship unfolds. Tales from the Underworld is set to return to Disney+ on May 4, promising to delve deeper into the life of one of the Clone Wars' most intriguing and enigmatic characters, Asajj Ventress.
