Star Wars: 10 Strongest Female Characters Of All Time

9. Asajj Ventress

Jedi, Sith, Nightsister, bounty hunter. Whatever label you want to put on Asajj Ventress, there's no denying she's an absolute badass.

Force-sensitive and magick-wielding, Ventress left her mark on the galaxy regardless of which side of the conflict she fell on. Trained by no less than Dooku (she left the Jedi after her Master, Ky Narec, was killed), she's incredibly skilled at lightsaber combat, wielding two of them at the same time, and is fuelled by rage and a desire to kill Jedi.

Betrayed by Dooku, she returned to the Witches of Dathomir and together tried to assassinate him. When that failed she became a bounty hunter - and a damn good one, naturally - but would change alleigances whenever it suited her, doing whatever was necessary to stay alive and further her own ends.

NCTJ-qualified journalist. Most definitely not a racing driver. Drink too much tea; eat too much peanut butter; watch too much TV. Sadly only the latter paying off so far. A mix of wise-old man in a young man's body with a child-like wonder about him and a great otherworldly sensibility.
