Separatist POV Episode 4.20 - Bounty

This review of the episode is from the Separatist Point of View.

Here is the MasterToons to watch

The Fortune Cookies is here:

Who we are never changes, who we think we are does!


An aimless Asajj Ventress joins a team of bounty hunters under the leadership of young Boba Fett. On an alien world, they undertake a dangerous but profitable mission that tests the limits of their skills, and the strength of Asajj's character.

***SPOILERS***



Asajj Ventress searches how to find her new self never having a choice. She winds up on Tatooine at Chalmun's Cantina. She requests... Ryll... A Spice Drink of recreational of euphoriants.

While she is getting drunk, she gets hit upon by some slimy guy. She tells him to leave, he does not. So she kills him by firing one her blades into him.





His buddies: Bossk and Latts Razzi tell her she needs to pay them for the loss of their dead comrade. Latts wears a green boa kind of thing that mocks as a weapon. Really nice.

They take her to meet the leader of the Bounty Hunter group...a young teenage BOBA FETT!



Asajj Ventress agrees to do the job which takes them to planet Quarzite, which the atmosphere is highly pressurized that it would cause any ship that lands to implode. So they have to use a transport turbolift to get to the surface.



There, they receive secret cargo in a "treasure box" to deliver to the Lord Otua Blank, much like the first "Transporter" movie and ride high speed railway, like the first modern "Mission Impossible" movie.

Of course during the transportation there are the Kage Warriors who fight to get the "treasure box", the leader is Krismo Sodi. These warriors look like ninjas, hidden and used vibroblades to fight. The martial arts they use appears to be Teras Kasi. Very few Force Powers can be used to fight against users who practice this form of martial arts.



Ironically, all the other Bounty Hunters got taken out one by one, except Asajj Ventress and Boba Fett, until they realized what was the bounty. Inevitably a girl named, Pluma Sodi.



And she is to be married to the Belugan Otula Blank. Perverted.



Of course Asajj Ventress double crosses and tricks everyone from both the bounty and the bounty hunters.

In the end it would up Asajj did not completely give up her sorcerous ways.

Let's leave folks in suspense here...

FROM A SEPARATIST POV:

The take home, Separatists have a heart. Of course it is way after they have been expelled and moves on. But it shows the fortitude of Asajj as a woman, who has now she has discovered she is free and independent. That she does not need a Force Using organization to define her and is this important?

Both Jedi and Sith believe there should be training to wield the Force, respectively in the Light and Dark sides. But what is the other side. Not untrained, but more like, getting expelled like Count Dooku did to Asajj Ventress.

What I liked about this episode was Asajj's realization that her entire "world" has been opened up for the opportunities to her after great threats. And it seemed she was not fearful anymore or rather fear no longer drove her to unleash her greatest asset.

Actually, she felt... FREE and apathy...

And she walks away off into the the background of stars on her own for the first time.
