At Star Wars Celebration’s Lucasfilm Animation 20th Anniversary panel, an entire episode of Tales of the Underworld was shown to audience members, confirming a major mystery about Asajj Ventress and her resurrection following the events of the Clone Wars. Below is our footage description for the upcoming episode, “A Way Forward”:
Obi-Wan Kenobi is accompanying Quinlan Vos as he lays Ventress to rest “I will always love you.” Later, Ventress is given a choice by Mother Talzin to be resurrected: the cost is her heart’s desire, which is clearly Quinlan.
Following the episode’s title card, Ventress is shown working as security for someone who arranges transport during the Imperial Era. She beats someone up for pulling out a blaster. “I don’t want that life anymore” – Ventress on bounty hunting.
A young unnamed Jedi has entered and tries to do a Jedi Mind Trick. Ventress is keeping the boy from being caught by the Empire now that he’s walked inside the place. Ventress uses a mind trick on the stormtroopers.
The Path network is mentioned by the young Jedi, and he confirms Quinlan Vos established the Path. Ventress’ interest is piqued.
Ventress fights an Inquisitor, duel-wielding with her own lightsaber and the young Jedi’s. “You don’t fight like a Jedi… I know who you are” – Inquisitor. The Padawan kills the Inquisitor and saves Ventress.
Ventress recounts her Clone Wars life to the kid, “My name is Asajj Ventress” and the episode ends.
