SpeciesEdit

According to the Star Wars database, they don't list her species at all, but rather her homeworld. With the new episode and all (seeing at one point she had some hair), does this change things? Korsa3 07:19, January 8, 2011 (UTC)

• • Seeing that she has hair does not mean she is not Rattataki. Because she was born on Dathomir does not rule out the possibility for her to be Rattataki. We should wait until this is confirmed.
    • This from the official "Star Wars" site does say that she is a Dathomiri from Dathomir. But from what I gather a Dathomiri is not strictly a species, more of a culture of Force sensitive witches, a Rattatki could be part of this culture I guess; how ever Ventress did visably have hair, something that Rattatki don't have.

Nightsister templateEdit

Since it's revealed that she is a Nightsister, I think would be a good call to change her template. After all she's now more than a Dark Jedi and her affiliation is more specified... --Nekosama 17:36, January 8, 2011 (UTC)

Adoptive family and masterEdit

It's not impossible to keep the two Rattatak backgrounds of Ventress : perhaps her adoptive parent took Hal'Sted under their service after a battle on Rattatak (they're warlords, after all), and adopted the young girl...some years later, the parents were killed, Hal'Sted retrieve the young girl (she can be under his tutelage, as a student, even if he was adopted by the warlords)then fled, but was then killed by the pirates.

The rest of the story is already consistent. --Le Passant 10:36, January 9, 2011

• I agree that its not impossible—I would be very much pleased if it was established that after Hal'Sted's death the two Rattataki warlords took Asajj in as an adoptive daughter, and then have to story continue as previously established from there. Or even if Hal'sted was working for the two, who treated Asajj as more of a daughter than a slave. But regardless, we can't make these assumptions ourselves, and can't mesh the stories ourselves—we can only work with what is presented to us explicitly.

• I admit that I never truly understand how the Wookiepedia works, how things are decided as editable or not. But if we assume that this battle of Sullust IS the "death of Ventress" from Obsession (and I'm an ardent defenseur of that theory), isn't it possible to assume this ? Please note that I just want to understand how it work. That's how I see the thing :

1) Hal'Sted took Ventress from Dathomir to Rattatak. 2) For an unknown reason, Ventress is adopted by the warlords (Hal'Sted can be at their service, or loosing a battle against them, etc). 3) The adoptive parents of Ventress are killed. 4) Hal'Sted retrieve the girl (either he was at the warlords service or just wanted to retrieve his slave). 5) Hal'Sted is killed by the Weequay pirates, then Ventress is found by Ki Narec.

You didn't have to modify or change anything in what have been said explicitely in the comics or the episode, since both sources are vague enough (some illustrations, some very short clip without explanation) to be mixed together. The only problem with this is the portrayal of Ventress in each scenes, but since it was, in the comics, a story by a local Warlord, you can naturally assume that he project his own image of Ventress in his story. Well, let's be patient and see, but I hope that an official thing will be said on this very easy thing. This is not even a retconn. Le Passant 10:23, January 9, 2011 (UTC)

SpeciesEdit

I know she's Dathomiri now, but should we still metnion Rattatakki as a cover, citizenship, or cultural (like Bimms )? --The Great and Grand Count Mall!^{(Bow down before me!)} 04:27, January 10, 2011 (UTC)

what the?Edit

i was looking in the "disappearance" section of the article, and i noticed that someone changed it from, "anakin thought he had killed ventress on coruscant, and said kenobi wasn't thinking clearly", to, "Skywalker was convinced that they had seen Ventress killed on Sullust, and that Kenobi was not thinking clearly". i personally think that it is a good connection with the episode from the clone wars, (even though dooku had already turned on her, so it would not work) but did someone just assume this, or is there a source for it?

Asajj - Vader what the hell?Edit

In the article, it is noted that she "pushed" Anakin into turning into Darth Vader. How come? [[[User:XaviCommander]]]

In the Clone Wars cartoon series (not the computer animated one), when Anakin supposedly kills Ventress, he does so in anger, suggesting that he slipped into the dark side to do so. I wouldn't say that actually pushed him into becoming Vader, but it certainly was a step on the path. Livingston 05:09, November 25, 2011 (UTC)

Minor Editing ChangesEdit

There are some minor changes that need to be made. Such as in the Personality changes, also in the article they say the Rattataki (Asajj Ventress) could we change it to Dathomirian? I don't think I am authorized to edit the mistakes. Therefore I thought I would just let people know.--Jackson31195 22:11, January 10, 2011 (UTC)

Flashback picEdit

Can we replace the current pic with he comic book illustration instead? and place the new one in the Nightsisters inconsistency section? Because the current one is crappy looking. But the comic one pretty much makes sense (Yet it shows her caring for her dying master which pretty makes up for her personality during her childhood)-Boba fett 32 01:50, January 28, 2011 (UTC)

• I agree with this. Not due to the image quality, but because of the contradiction. JangFett ^(Talk) 01:56, January 28, 2011 (UTC)

I also agree. It sweems wrong to suddenly throw away a picture that worked so well just for the sake of some TV series that sort've messed up her whole story. I for one am sticking to the comic book version. —Unsigned comment by 75.27.146.154 (talk • contribs).

SpeciesEdit

Shouldn't her species and home world be Rattatak, and her foster home be Dathomir like the nightbrothers are Zabrak from Iridonia, just as some Zabrak males are taken too Dathomir when young to become nightbrothers, wouldn't some Rattatak females also be taken there to become nightsisters --Kingofall42 19:14, February 5, 2011 (UTC)

Sorry mate. But it is officially Rectumed to be Dathomiri thanks to a certain individual who does not give a crud about EU.-Boba fett 32 04:28, February 17, 2011 (UTC)

2.3 Expansion for Other AbilitiesEdit

Don't you think that she has clearly showed herself to be skilled in unarmed combat. I think we should add it to the other abilities section. Also could we get more pictures from her recent appearances from The Clone Wars. I would but I am not sure on how to do that at the moment. If anybody responds that would be great, so I would just know that someone is listening to me.--Jackson31195 21:40, February 22, 2011 (UTC)

AffiliationEdit

In the Affiliation bar it is said that Asajj is a member of the order of the sith. Is that true? I don't know any evidence of this. On the order of the sith members bar there is so sign of her, just all Darth/Sith in the rise of republic era.

Tell me if i'm wrong, because I don't knew. —Unsigned comment by Yezper (talk • contribs).

• She reported directly to Count Dooku, and was a Sith acolyte (if not an actual Sith Lord), so I think it makes sense to list her as affiliated. —Milo Fett^[Comlink] 22:48, April 27, 2011 (UTC)

CleanupEdit

Not to sound rude but I hope whenever more info is released people fix this because with the Clone wars show (2008), the comic books and the old clone wars show info getting all jumbled up her page is a HOT MESS! And nothing here is consistent 68.56.20.171 18:21, February 28, 2012 (UTC)

• If you see something that needs fixing, feel free to do it yourself, provided you follow all rules and policies. Cheers.—Cal Jedi ^{(Personal Comm Channel)} 18:23, February 28, 2012 (UTC)

Powers and AbilitesEdit

Do we think it is fair to say that she has now only a slight disadvantage with not having a second blade. I mean come on she is did use some unarmed combat along side with it.--Jackson31195 18:10, March 17, 2012 (UTC)

Infobox Edit

Isn't she still technically a Nightsister? Isn't that her ultimate loyalty? Should that be the infobox? --The Lampshade... (talk) 14:41, April 28, 2012 (UTC)Lamp774

• That's an interesting question. Her latest chronological appearance in Star Wars Obsession shows that she had abandoned everything and went into hiding. So I'm not sure which infobox that merits. Corellian Premier^{All along the watchtower} 14:54, April 28, 2012 (UTC)
  • Let's leave it as is until she is featured again in TCW. --The Lampshade... (talk) 20:12, May 20, 2012 (UTC)Lamp774
