She could more likely than not do it again!
Assajj Ventress is almost on par with ROTS Anakin. Almost. It took a lot of anger for Anakin to overcome her in a fight... Assajj doesn't get the credit she deserves around here, I swear.
I actually read The Cestus Deception. And I know and posted reasons why she won there. Now, if Kit had started off fresh and she had not yet known any more about his fighting style than he did hers I think he;d have won. Barely. And by the time of her death she would be an okay match for ROTS Anakin, I wouldn't say almost as powerful, but comparable. By the time of her death she probably could take out Kit.
Okay, i've read the Cestus Deception, and Kit revealed too much of his fighting style, while Obi Wan didnt (this was while they were fighting through the X'Ting warriors without their lightsabers). it took shorter time for kit to reach Assaj because he was fighting showing his style. assaj saw all this and beat him
Oh, I like her too. She's my favorite Clone Wars-only antagonist. That and the fact that she seems more lost that inherently evil. But even the best of characters have to meet their end sometime. It's better so.
Mace Windu, for example, is possibly my favorite Star Wars character. But that doesn't mean I wish he was never killed, and that I hope he comes back in the new Star Wars books. Because everything needs closure, and although I like Ventress, I think she needs to die.
I suppose that a few select characters could have their little return to the spotlight. Now that I think about it, I don't see how Ventress could have been killed by her fall. Couldn't she have done what Obi-Wan did in AOTC, when he wrapped the whip-cord around he rail with the Force? Someone of Asaaj's calibre should have been able to do that. . .
