At first Ventress appeared to be another evil villain, which had nothing good in her.
However, in last two seasons she is shown from entirely different side.
Starting from her childhood she was Jedi padawan. Her relationship with master was like father and daughter.
She cannot be blamed for becoming Dooku's apprentice as she was still child.
She reunited with Nightsisters later. Seems like nothing good about it as Nightsisters are darksiders.
Yet, she is shown caring for them and valuing life of every single sister. When Dooku threw her and two sisters out of window, she found strength to save them from falling.
When Grivous forces attacked Nightsister's village, she tried to protect her sisters and experienced loss for each one dying.
Sith care only for themselves but her actions clearly show that there is good in her.
Then she saved Obi-Wan and united with him against Oppress and Maul, when she was supposed to despise him.
And now as they escaped on a ship, Obi-Wan gets a chance to get to know Ventress better.
Apart from sense of vengeance for Dooku's betraying and atrocities against Nightsisters
she has no reason to fight and there seem to be no more need to confront Jedi.
Will Obi-Wan and Anakin reach her heart and help her to be redeemed?

All I can say is that I hope so.

I always got the impression that her and Obi-Wan held back against each other when they fought.

In the CW movie after she disarmed Obi-Wan she had a clear opportunity to kill him but didn't.

Why would she hold back even in the slightest unless there was still some good in her? I doubt she was being cocky like Maul in TPM, because she really wasn't superior to Obi-Wan.

Either way, I'm certainly looking forward to where they take her.

Padawan Obi-Wan
She turns to the lightside in Jedi: Obbsession.

RE: Blaxican
Obsession probably isn't canon anymore. I'm sure the cartoon will end up overruling it.

Anyway, I really like Assaj; I always felt like she was incredibly underrated. However, I feel like her doing the "turn to the lightside and sacrifice herself to save everyone" thing would be really cheesy.

Padawan Obi-Wan
Hmm maybe not we will have to see where the cartoon takes us.

Nephthys
Maybe they'll redo the Obsession story.

.... probably without the gimp mask.

Arhael
Maybe in next season there will be a love story. You know, when man and woman stay alone in a ship for a while. big grin

Nephthys
Well at least its not on a beach. Everyone knows how annoying sand is. I just hate it. It gets everywhere.

So disruptive to a romance.

Oh yeah I hope so! It would make sense as they've shown Kenobi is somewhat fond of Ventress, and like Blax said the Original probably isn't canon anymore.

I wouldn't go that far. She's a bad person. She's been seduced by the dark side. She's murdered many people.

All we're saying is there may be a bit of good left in her and that she may be redeemable.

Ok ok she's a lovely person. A complete sweetheart. The whole "Dooku's Assassin" thing is just hype for her rep. stick out tongue

I see her gaining it via death.

Shey Tapani
I wonder what she will do with the money. I hope she starts a short civil war within the sep movement.

Q99
We do know at the tail end of the Clone Wars she fakes her death then vanishes.

NTJack0
Never.

I think that will be non-canon by the end of CW.

Arhael
Question is what Obi and Ventress are doing right now in that ship. big grin

So far, they haven't really changed anything from the comics. It's surprising.

Are you kidding me?

Anakin's has his scar from episode 1. In the comics the first time him and Obi-Wan encountered Ventress after giving Anakin his scar was in Obsession, which is when she retired.

Not to mention Dooku betraying Ventress in the Savage arch has changed pretty much everything.

There's loads of other examples but I cant be bothered getting into them right now.

Q99
Hm, true, guess I didn't think about it too closely... though iirc they had encountered Ventress before obsession.

Obsession was the first time they encountered her since she gave Anakin his scar (in the comics).

Because Anakin presumable killed Ventress in that fight, and the whole purpose of Obsession was Obi-Wan being obsessed in proving she was still alive.

Also in CW Cartoon it's obvious Anakin got his scar very early on in the war (having it from the first episode of what's to be at least 5 seasons).

Lord Lucien
Didn't Anakin receive his scar (originally) when he was a short-haired Padawan? That would have been early in the war (22-21 BBY). But now he's had his scar since he was a longer-haired Knight early in the war (22-21 BBY).

The CGI cartoon is gonna wind up changing a lot.

DARTH POWER
^ No he got his scar as a Knight, by Ventress in the CW comic that's immediately prior to Obsession.

Lord Lucien
In the Clone Wars anime he looked very young and Padawany.

DARTH POWER
You mean the CW mini?

Yeah even in that it was after he was Knighted when we see the scar.

Will she be redeemed?
