THE FORMER APPRENTICE OF DOOKU BECAME ONE OF STAR WARS’ MOST COMPLEX CHARACTERS.
Spoiler warning: This editorial includes details of various events for several major characters.
The animated series, which ran for six seasons (not to mention the feature film it spawned from), expanded the Star Wars universe in unprecedented ways. To name just a few: It gave depth and humanity to the clones, it delivered a complex, moving relationship between Ahsoka and Anakin, and it developed a touching, tragic love story for Obi-Wan. And that’s just barely scraping the surface.
But let’s shift gears away from the show’s headliners. Because The Clone Wars also developed a character — perhaps not as flashy as Anakin, Ahsoka, or Obi-Wan — who proved to be as fascinating as anyone in the Star Wars universe.
And that character is the one and only Asajj Ventress.

CELEBRATING 40 YEARS OF EVERYONE’S FAVORITE TATOOINE WATERING HOLE.
You undoubtedly know by now that 2017 marks the 40th anniversary of Star Wars: A New Hope. Besides your ability to perform basic math, the milestone has been emblazoned on merchandise in logo form and talked about on podcasts, panels at Celebration Orlando, and here at StarWars.com. The momentous occasion marks not only the anniversary of the release date but also the tremendous lasting power of the Star Wars universe. We wouldn’t be where we are today without A New Hope.
Many scenes and quotes from A New Hope made an impression upon fans when they first viewed a film. Lightsabers, Darth Vader, the Force…it’s fair to say minds of all ages were blown. One particularly memorable sequence happened inside the walls of a cantina in the wretched hive of scum and villainy known as Mos Eisley. Here are nine reasons why the cantina scene is so special.

Rogue One: A Star Wars Story took fans by storm last December, and now you can stream it thanks to Netflix’s latest update.
The film is one of many new July releases for the popular streaming service and will hit Netflix on July 18th. Rogue One crushed in theaters, raking in over $532 million domestically with a worldwide total of $1,056,057,273 billion.
It’s prequel status and the fact that much of the cast is no longer around likely cement that fans won’t see these characters again anytime soon, but there’s always hope in the Star Wars universe, so perhaps it will happen down the line.
