Disney: didn’t we kill her off?

Also Disney: nah it was in a book and nobody reads those. The fans won’t notice. Do it!

[TetsuShima]

Poor Christie Golden. She tried her best to give Ventress a memorable ending in the "Dark Disciple" book, only for Disney to sayy "I am gonna pretend I didn't see that"

[ParalyzingSpark]

At one point Ventress was a true anomaly. Now, she's cool.

[merafirewing]

It's nice to see her being updated, but I feel like she doesn't fit into the Bad Batch. Remember guys how many times Shaak Ti died more than once?

[samvanderplas]

She could very easily have survived through Nightsister magic. I really like that she's back. Not just because she's a cool character, but also because i like a proper female badass force user. I like Ahsoka but not really Sabine or Rey so i love to see it

[thomasnelon]

Bro, Filoni really can’t just let some characters have a satisfying ending and not letting them overstay their welcome.

[Kazuma]

I'm not very familiar with novelizations. From my point of view, Asajj simply disappeared from the clone wars, became a bounty hunter, and is now babytraining on the side. But I understand retconning popular works draws ire, seeing as what few novels I am a fan of are all designated Legends. However, I have an idea of what Filoni is planning with some of these projects and how they're probably going to tie together down the line. Asajj returning here seems mildly warranted in the name of that idea.

[richardched]

I guess she already "died" a number of times in EU. Yavin IV, Coruscant, Boz Pity.

[jaieregilmore]

I never liked dark disciple she is wasted to be killed off like that I’m okay that she back.

[jurassictyrantkingYT]

Night Sister Magic Brought her back, I mean it's possible she did say in one sentence that she's got a few lives left meaning if she dies a few more times she actually dies.

[BenAri]

I loved the Dark Disciple book, however i must admit i wasnt mad she returned when Vos and Obiwan buried her they put her in a pond on Dothomir which coumdve revived her plus her body was put in Stasis before burial so i wouldnt hate her return using that explanation

[PK-Radio]

They’re searching for force sensitive clones?

Ayo Jek 14 where you at

[CloneScavengerVulpin]

They didn't explain how she survived in the episode maybe we will get an explanation if she returns later this season.
It's possible ventress used the same sith healing trance that she used in legends or something else.

[deity]

What is the point of Disney making Legends material non-canon if they're just going to keep retconning their own canon novels and tie-ins? At least with Legends there seemed to be a mutual respect among the different writers, like they were working together to build this universe and these characters, always iterating upon previous works and ensuring contradictions were kept to a minimum. Filoni doesn't give a damn about his fellow Star Wars creators and will rewrite their work to suit his story. Because at the end of the day, his story is the only one that matters in his head.

[TetsuShima]

Ngl, it's pretty crazy that Ventress never died in Legends and escaped into Unknown Space before Episode III. Imagine if she lived enough to fight the Yuuzhan Vong and meet Luke Skywalker

[isaackim]

Now we need Ventress to meet up with another Nightsister survivor. 😷 😷 Merrin

[sfk]

Night sister magic is an obvious reason and she referenced subtly at the end of the episode of having multiple lives, thus the cheating death element that Palpatine wanted.

[Ancienthistoryshorts]

He didn’t completely override the dark disciple he stated in an interview that he planned to stay true to dark disciple only changing a couple things to make the waters resurrect her

[ChosenOne-ilbm]

Nothing hAs been overwritten

The outline of the story is canon

Each medium is a dramatisation
Like a historical report

If you don’t like that

I don’t know what


While legends had tiers with so much m information being over written and being made s canon

[darthmaul]

Ventress: Whoa where the heck am I?
Palpatine: Welcome to the CWND!
Ventress: What?
Palpatine: Character Who Never Die club! Let’s talk to everyone else then!
Ahsoka: Hey Ventress.
Ventress: Well aren’t you an oldie now?
Vitiate: If anyone is old it’s me! I’m like 1400 years old!
Ventress: No one asked you! Who are you anyway?
Vitiate: Seriously?
Maul: You!
Ventress: You!
Krayt: Who’s this noob?
Palpatine: Out of the way faker!
R2-D2: Bleep boop beep!
Ventress: What did this pain in my back droid just say?
Palpatine: You don’t want to know.
Boba: I hate you!
Ventress: Who doesn’t? Who are you again?
Boba: Let me give you a hint. You threw me in a box to be delivered to a king as a bride.
Ventress: Ahhhh. I see now.
Palpatine: Everyone be quiet! The Queen is coming!
Ventress: Since when do you bow-
Palpatine: Quiet!
Shaak Ti: Shut up!
Ventress: What have I stumbled into?
