Possible Synopsis of the Asajj Ventress Novel Leaked.

VENTRESS

At SDCC 2014, it was revealed that a novel based on an unused story arc of The Clone Wars would be making its way to bookstores in 2015, starring Asajj Ventress and Quinlan Vos. Recently, a German fansite leaked a working title, a release date, and a general summary of the novel, and we’ve got the details inside.

 

From Jedi-Bibliothek:

The last story never told in The Clone Wars television saga: A tale of trust, betrayal, love, and evil starring the hugely popular ex-Sith/never-Jedi female bounty hunter, Asajj Ventress! A tale written but never aired, now turned into a brand-new novel with the creative collaboration of the Lucasfilm Story Group and Dave Filoni, Executive Producer and Director of Star Wars: The Clone Wars and Star Wars: Rebels!

 

When the Jedi decide to target Count Dooku—Darth Tyranus—himself, they turn to his ex-apprentice, Asajj Ventress, for help in getting close to the slippery Sith Lord. But when unexpected sparks fly between Ventress and Quinlan Vos, the unorthodox Jedi sent to work with her, the mission becomes a web of betrayal, alliances, secrets, and dark plotting that might just be the undoing of both Jedi and Sith—and everything in between!

Although the description describes the story arc as “the last story never told in The Clone Wars“, I don’t believe that this is the end for works adapted from unused scripts of the cartoon. Series writer Brent Friedman claimed that, in addition to The Lost Missions, there were going to be more episodes for the sixth season of the show, along with a seventh season and an eighth season. This three-to-four-episode storyline would certainly not have been the only story they had left to tell, and the above article, along with supervising director Dave Filoni’s own testimony, both explain that there were still plenty of stories that they wanted to release. Given that they’ve already released another unused story arc in the form of Darth Maul: Son Of Dathomir (which concluded recently), it’s evident that they have a plan to release the remaining stories in different formats from here on out.

 

The novel is listed under the working title of Ventress, and shall be approximately 224 pages long. The novel will hit the shelves on July, 7, 2015.

    When sparks fly between Ventress and Master Vos??

    I have a bad feeling about this.

    Interesting that they gave Ventress hair in that artwork. Almost think that makes her look more like Gwendoline Christie at least from the picture of her in the casting announcement that appeared on this site.

        Maybe her species has a long lifespan like Chewbacca?

      lol. Christie portraying Ventress (even if she appeared in the ST) is akin to saying that Peter Mayhew should portray Yoda.

    since they cancelled clone wars, I Think it would be a great idea to make an animated Movie about Assaj Ventress & maybe one about ahsoka, they probably have stuff written, so they could just take Everything about Assaj & make that into a Movie, a novel based on a script for clone wars feels a Little bit lika a anticlimax…

      I always thought that they ought to do straight to DVD features of Clone Wars, to tie up the unfinished storylines. And if those proved to be succesful, they could continue to do more.

        exactly my thought 🙂 they can try one straight 2 dvd film & if it is succesfull (wich it probably will be) they can continue 🙂 & tie up all loose ends

    After read this… just imagine how awesome it would be in a Animated Story-Arc? And this synopsis reminds me a story-arc from the Star Wars Republic comics, when Quinlan Vos infiltrate himself in Tyranus’ Accolytes. That was an amazing issue.

    Is this novel canon or not?

      According to the Jedi-Bibliothek and some googling, it is canon.

      Everything published from now on is canon.

        Unless stated otherwise, such as The Star Wars and Legacy Volume 2.

        Until the day when it’s not. I wouldn’t worry about it.

    As I’ve said, it’s possible that Ventress gets referenced (at least) in EpVII. That would set her up for a spin-off movie/s, which is possibly where Lupita Nyong’o comes in.

      Right. And since Lupita Nyong’o will be appearing PHYSICALLY on the film that means she has absolutely NOTHING to do with reference-only characters possibly appearing in spin-off films.

        If she appears PHYSICALLY in EpVII, then it’s likely that she’ll be an old woman (a young Ventress making an appearance would take SW down paths the majority of fan wouldn’t want to see it go). In spin-offs, she would be portraying her young self, obviously.
