I am conflicted because Jedi are my least favourite part of Star Wars, but Carrie Ann Moss kicking rear end as a Jedi is something I would like to see. I'm guessing she dies to the assassin so maybe I'll just watch that ep.

Owlbear Camus posted:https://jefesairsoftsolutions.com/products/fate-s-grasp-gcw Ooooh, that does look interesting. The LARP I was in went the literal inverse direction, instead of 2-3 days once a year with blasters, it was every friday night (holidays or hurricanes bedamned) with lightsabers. But damned if that's not a tempting idea.

Thought Omega was going to somehow find a Dark Side Cave in a random cavern on Pabu So glad I was wrong on that front for a change Wonder where they'll put Ventress's resurrection, because that's a very interesting story in and of itself "I've still got a few lives left."

I felt like this episode was just a bit too coy in withholding any sort of answers from the audience. Is Omega actually Force-sensitive? Who knows! What's Ventress's deal? I don't know! The vibes in this one were very much "we need to introduce first-time viewers to Ventress" rather than actually progressing the story.

Well I didn’t expect Ventress to show up in quite this capacity (I’m hoping they don’t make Omega a Jedi or anything seeing as we only have 6 episodes left in the whole show but her potentially being force sensitive was kind of hinted at from the beginning), though hopefully they’ll explain a bit more about her as things progress. She seems slightly less hostile than she was in the trailer anyway

I am genuinely curious how she got a yellow lightsaber. Did she do some repenting, or did she just yank it off a dead jedi?

Maybe it's the speaking style but Omega is my favourite voice on the show. I know DBB deserves the most praise but it seems like almost everyone on this show except Omega speaks in a slow, stilted, and deliberate way. I don't need Gilmore Girls characters or anything but sometimes I find myself checking my watch in the middle of a character's sentence.John Wick of Dogs posted:Is her name Ventress because she puts vents in people with her lightsaber Or she vents her frustrations a lot. She's a ranter.

I enjoyed that. I've liked Ventress as a character since she was introduced, and this is an interesting take on her as an older, if not necessarily wiser person. Also, I like the hair, it's a good look for her. Omega has obviously been special somehow since she was introduced. They've spent half this season making that obvious as a plot-point-to-be, but I'd say we're noticeably closer now. Let's see how it plays out.

The actual, boring answer: Wookieepedia posted:The name "Ventress" was suggested by Samuel C. Spitale, naming her after the town of Ventress in the state of Louisiana because it reminded him of "the voodoo queen" Marie Laveau. Her first name, "Asajj," was proposed by Leland Chee after the character Asaji (浅茅) from Akira Kurosawa's 1957 film Throne of Blood, in turn based on William Shakespeare's Lady Macbeth from the seventeenth-century play Macbeth.

Kesper North posted:Ventress looks weird with hair She looks great. I took the "still got a few lives left" line a few different ways: Straight up nightsister shenanigans; But also she's already lived a few different lives between being a nightsister, jedi-adjacent, sith-adjacent, assassin, bounty hunter, etc; And she seems totally cat coded. Great line. And she's neither jedi nor sith, so of course she gets a yellow sabre now.

Remind me, was Ventress Dooku's apprentice? The one that Palpatine said,"Hey you know what would be cool? If you killed your apprentice?" and then like a day later Palpatine was all,"Holy poo poo he actually tried to do it?  "?

That's right, she went and got a couple of cousins and they went to Dooku's place and wrecked up the joint to teach him a lesson, right? Then found Maul but Tall (Taul) who eventually became best buds with Maul, then Palpatine showed up again and went,"Nice crime empire you're got here, be a shame if it was to... burn down..."

Chasing a runaway pet to a cave with a witch in it is some pretty Call To Adventure poo poo. I was skeptical of Omega as a character in the first half of the first season, but I'm now invested in seeing what kind of cool direction she eventually matures into it. It will be a goddam travesty if we never see adult Omega in the Mando-verse, telling everybody to fuckin' act right.

Ventress's second lightsaber was used for the cover of Dark Disciple and made its animated debut as the other half of Maul's lightsaber in Siege of Mandalore   So I wonder if the two of them met between DD and SoM; maybe Ventress bungled a mission for Crimson Dawn and Maul tried to eliminate her, but she got away and got a third saber Hence her 'many lives' line

And Daniel Logan deserves at least like a walk on roll, at this point. He's a good lookin' guy. Say he's the son of a clone or something. It should be a thing that the children of clones want to hug Boba Fett for nostalgia reasons.
