10 Star Wars Answers Given YEARS Later

Without doubt one of the cooler additions to the Star Wars franchise away from the big-screen adventures, the Force-sensitive Dathomirian known as Asajj Ventress made one hell of an impact throughout the Clone Wars.

This one-time Jedi Padawan would eventually become Count Dooku's apprentice, clashing with the likes of Obi-Wan Kenobi, Anakin Skywalker and more before returning home to the Nightsisters after her master betrayed her.

She'd then end up as a bounty hunter in the wake of the Nightsisters being massacred by General Grievous. 

After her last appearance in the Star Wars: The Clone Wars animated series, though, surprisingly working with Ahsoka Tano after she was wrongly accused of bombing the Jedi Temple, viewers had to wait another two years to find out where Ventress' story took her next.

The Dark Disciple novel by Christie Golden - made up of unproduced Clone Wars episodes - revealed that Ventress actually fell in love with Jedi Master Quinlan Vos, but sacrificed herself to save her lover, who'd embraced the dark side, from being killed by Dooku.

Or so it seemed.

Despite being apparently murdered by Force lightning, those who long questioned whether this was really the end of Ventress were finally given an answer in the most recent season of the Bad Batch.

Nine years on from her "death" in that novel, Ventress returned as a bounty hunting, yellow-lightsaber-wielding force in that animated show, testing Omega's M-count and clashing with the titular clones. 

It wasn't fully explained exactly how she was able to dodge death, but viewers at least finally know that her journey didn't end at the hands of Dooku.
