Asajj Ventress Life-Size Bust

[Khonsu70]

Quick aside (devil's pic of Asajj made me think of this): whatever happened to Dirge?? I know Obi Wan "killed" him in the Tartakovsky series, but wasn't the idea behind the character that he was a bundle of nerves in an armored suit who could reconstitute himself at will? He NEEDS to make an appearance in the CG Clone Wars. The show is an anthology, so even if he 'really died' at Obi-Wan's hand, he could still show up - maybe battle Cad Bane over the same bounty?

You really want to know?

Spoiler

Kenobi did not kill him in the Genndy cartoon (you can see his splattered parts coming back together as the scene ends). Anakin killed him in Republic. Threw him into a star.

I've gotta be honest, I don't think it looks that great. Luckily it's not a character I care about.

End of story.

 

[Khonsu70]

Well, dammit, devil - that's just even more of a reason for him to make a CG appearance! Love how they left the 'timeline' wide open on that show with the anthology approach...maybe we could even get an "origins" story for Dirge, like they did for Asajj in "Nightsisters"?

 

[Khonsu70]

BTW, is it just me, or is it a tiiiiiiny bit odd for people to read and post to a thread dedicated to a product for character they don't "care about"? Huh...

I take it the origin story wasn't this?

She hails from the planet of Rattatak, the daughter of farmers. From an early age, she endures cruel whippings that begin when warlord Osika Kirske kills her parents. Ventress barely escapes with her life and encounters the Jedi Master Ky Narec, who had crashed on Rattatak. Narec and Ventress are both hunted by Kirske, and so he trains her in the ways of the Jedi so she can defend herself. Kirske kills Narec before Ventress can become a full-fledged Jedi, however. She develops an implacable hatred of the other Jedi who had abandoned her master and ignored the bloodshed on her planet.[2]

Ventress soon becomes a force of authority on her lawless homeworld, defeating most of the remaining warlords and getting her revenge on Kirske. She keeps Narec's lightsaber as a memento

I take it the origin story wasn't this?

Actually... without going into too much detail, the CW "Nightsisters" trilogy does a VERY admirable job of keeping the EU storyline intact while also expanding on it. The bit you refer to is told in flashback-style in very broad brushstrokes, but Asajj's Dark Horse origins are definitely in there!

 

[devilof76]

That's really good to know. One of these days I'm going to catch up on the series. Which season was that in?

 

[ST1138]

Really surprised to see Asajj in a 1:1 bust. Love the character so curious to see more pics.

 

[ChrisClassics]

I find it a bold but cool move by Sideshow. I mean, it seems like people are pretty one-sided when it comes to hopes and expectations.

This is in my eyes a welcome surprise. Granted that some don't appreciate CW, but a lot do. Personally, I'm somewhere in the middle... but as already stated, I find Asajj to be quite adorable.

We all have our own wishes, but in any case, it's a ballsy move by SS, and I appreciate that.

 

[Khonsu70]

Season 3, devil, out on DVD/Blu Ray in October, I think. You might be able to stream it on the SW site before then, if you have good timing!

Pass, i would've jumped on an original asajj bust...

(Mods, feel free to merge, if needed.)

I don't know if there's already a thread for this but I am sure it was shown at SDCC

So I just made a fail....

I try to do one good thing for the SW peeps and it's a fail. I'm not off to a good start.

I looked for a thread, but it must be buried.

 

[Khev]

So are they doing a new reveal every day this month until Spooktacular then?

I looked for a thread, but if it must be buried.

If by "buried" you mean its the first thread that comes up when you search for anything with "Asajj" in the title then yes, the July Life Size Bust thread is pretty buried.

Although i love the CG show and have them all on Blu-Ray

This is the True Asajj Ventress Design...

Not the **** tube one from the CG Clone wars

I SWEAR I searched!! I probably spelled the name wrong.

Khev, merge this thread ASAP!

Edit: I just searched for posts, not thread titles. I is a SW N00b.

 

[Something Sexy]

First reveal looks pretty cool, although I would rather pick up the PF then get this.
