JD Maul Blog Q1) What are your feelings about Asajj Ventress?
Seppie POV: I like her! She is a strong female character and a skilled lightsaber duelist. She holds her own as a Dark Side Acolyte
JD Maul Blog Q2) What are your opinions on how things went with her character in Season 3 of the Clone Wars? What about her being reveled to be a Nightsister?
Seppie POV: The season 3 backstory show written by Katie Lucas was enthralling. She was betrayed by Darth Tyrannus (Count Dooku) who had been ordered by Darth Sidious (Palpatine) to get rid of her. She returned home to her Nightsisters and her "Mother" Talzin - the coven of witches that practiced the Dark Side. Seeing that these Dark Sided women survived without much Sith interference, from a female perspective, it was interesting tosee how intricate their practices and beliefs were. What I like was she had supporters as Nightsisters in those episodes
JD Maul Blog Q3) What are your hopes for her Character development and her sisters going into the Season 4 finale?
Seppie POV: So for Asajj, they have pretty much sealed her fate to make her no longer relevant. My hope is the Lucasfilm revisits that concept, because it would be nice to see a Sith-Lord-like kinds of abilities in women. But something tells me much like Season 4 has been that all major Confederacy of Independent Systems' villains have been strategically terminated
JD Maul Blog Q4) Do you think Dooku thought of her as a serious apprentice and intended to use her to overthrow Palpatine? If not should he have?
Seppie POV: I think at the very beginning with the true animated Clone Wars episode when they first introduced her, he never really liked her. He did not ever think he could use Asajj to take over Palpatine
JD Maul Blog Q5) What do you think her future will be giving up the ways of the sith and joining the Nightsisters? And do you think she will killed off?
Seppie POV: If she doesn't get killed by the end of this Season, then she'd be going back to the Nightsisters. I hope she does not get killed, but something says she will.
JD Maul Blog Q6) How do you think she will play into the story of Darth Maul and Savage Opress?
Seppie POV: No. Savage Opress is 1) searching for his brother and caring for him in some way, if he doesn't kill him first. Then 2) he wants to learn more as to how to use the Force.
JD Maul Blog Q7) Do you think Dooku regrets betraying Ventress? What would you do in Dooku’s place? Betray Ventress or betray Sidious? Would you like to see her survive the Clone Wars and show up in the live action series?
Seppie POV: Asajj Ventress' ending? Hmm? In the comics she appears to be mortally wounded, but she goes into a deep healing trance and wakes up aboard a ship and forces the pilots to take her to another planet. I thought it was Dathomir, but I am unsure. Overall, I would like her to go to the Unknown Regions and meet up with like the Chiss, oddly enough. If Asajj survives the Clone Wars, I think there is a place for her in the live action series.
JD Maul Blog Q8) Lastly, if Katie Lucas asked you to write Asajj Ventress’s ending, what would it be?
Seppie POV: No Dooku is a Sith, they have no regrets. It was owed to the Dark Side of the Force. It judges. A Sith just wants to control it. Dooku knew that his current list of acolytes were not powerful enough to overthrow Sidious. Sidious, of course, proved too powerful in the Dark Side of the Force.
