This Recently Announced Star Wars Show Got A Major Update
Star Wars only recently announced that Asajj Ventress will be one of two main characters in a brand-new animated show, Star Wars: Tales of the Underworld. Star Wars Celebration 2025 provided considerably more insight into Tales of the Underworld, including screening an entire episode of the show, titled “A Way Forward.” ScreenRant’s description of the footage shown is as follows:
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.
Among the exclusive footage shown during Star Wars Celebration was a scene that never appeared in Star Wars: The Clone Wars, in which bounty hunter Boba Fett and Jedi Anakin Skywalker battle one another. The footage included:
- Anakin pursuing Boba Fett in a speeder
- Anakin and Boba having a physical fight, including Boba using his blaster and Anakin wielding his lightsaber
- Boba Fett escaping
