The first trailer for Star Wars: The Bad Batch season 3 appears to show that Asajj Ventress’ death during the Clone Wars has been retconned.
Asajj Ventress was a Rattataki rising Sith who served Count Dooku and led CIS forces in the Star Wars Legends universe.
The modern Star Wars canon significantly altered Asajj Ventress’s origins, establishing her as a Nightsister of Dathomir from a reimagined version of the planet Dathomir.
Ventress’ story also had a definitive ending, at least until the Star Wars: The Bad Batch season 3 trailer.
The Bad Batch, set immediately after Star Wars: Episode III – Revenge of the Sith and during the early years of the Galactic Empire, has helped to tie up loose ends from the Clone Wars era.
Not only do beloved characters like Captain Rex and Commander Cody return, but the show also explains how the heroic (if brainwashed) clone troopers are quickly replaced by recruited TK Troopers, who are precursors to Imperial Stormtroopers.
The series concludes with season 3, whose trailer, shockingly, depicts a living Asajj Ventress, seemingly contradicting her established death.
