She's a villain in The Clone Wars, who was a sith apprentice to Count Dooku. Generally a very badass character.

Well in the show, she basically turns away from the Sith and becomes a bounty hunter (one of the reasons why I doubt she'd be in Episode VII). She's pretty damn badass in the show and the comics.

Badass enough that it would do wonders to dispel any concerns about Disney making Star Wars too child friendly.

So not beating Vader like a dead horse would lose your interest?

Oh you need to watch the Bounty Hunters arc in Clone Wars. That'll FOR SURE change your mind.

I was actually thinking the same thing Retrospect!

yes it is already more or less 40 years, considering luke is already an old man in this film, when ventress was introduced in the clone wars, luke has not even been born. i doubt they will show an old ventress, it is very unlikely.

Episode VII will be 30 years after Return Of The Jedi meaning, Asajj was like 25-30 in Clone Wars, add 20 years from Episode III to Episode IV, maybe another 5, now 30 more, that's like 80+ years old!
