Ventress's lightsaber was the personal lightsaber of Asajj Ventress. It was acquired by the bounty hunter on the black market some time after Padawan Barriss Offee stole the lightsabers that Ventress had used as the apprentice of Count Dooku. Ventress used the lightsaber for the rest of her bounty hunting career, until she was killed by Dooku on Christophsis. The weapon had a standard cylindrical-shaped hilt and emitted a yellow-colored plasma blade.[1]
Behind the scenes[edit | edit source]
Concept design of the lightsaber.
Ventress's lightsaber was designed by Will Nichols for the Star Wars: The Clone Wars television series. It was scheduled to appear in eight episodes starring Ventress and Quinlan Vos. The show was canceled, however, before the episodes were finished and the story was instead adapted into the novel Dark Disciple by Christie Golden. Nichols posted the concept design of the lightsaber in his portfolio in 2016.[3]
The lightsaber's concept design would go on to be used in the revived Season 7 of The Clone Wars, being used as half of Maul's lightsaber.
