The planet of Dathomir was one that was located far from the corruption in the Republic, that
soon changed with the attack on the Nightsisters and the capture of young Dathomirian Asajj
Ventress. The young Force sensitive was eventually freed from her enslavement by Jedi knight
Ky Narec, and he helped her rise through the Jedi Order. But the death of her master, and
her subsequent use of the dark side, caught the attention of the Sith apprentice Dooku,
as he aimed to eventually overthrow his master Sidious. The dark Lord of the Sith did not
fail to notice this rising threat, and upon one mission over the system of Sullust, Dooku
had to show his loyalty by eliminating the Nightsister. Still in the dark side, Ventress
managed to survive the attack from her master, and learned the truth upon reuniting with
the leader of her old clan in Mother Talzin. But the failure to kill Dooku, and the massacre
that struck the entire Nightsister clan led her to lead a life of bounty hunting, and
she soon had a chance to make amends with the Jedi. The Jedi master Obi-Wan Kenobi had
become embroiled in the activity of his old adversary Maul, and she chose to assist the
Jedi in his duel with the Zabraks of Maul and Savage. Following the duel, Obi-Wan tried
to get the Council to suggest to the Republic, that they should clear Ventress of her charges,
but he had not been successful. But what if Obi-Wan had succeeded? What if Ventress rejoined
the Jedi order? How could she help the Republic avenge her old master? As you are going to
discover, her return could have changed the outcome of the clone war….
Inside of his escape module, the Jedi master Obi-Wan Kenobi looked heavily battle scarred
and beaten, but nothing hurt more than the experience of seeing Maul alive in the flesh.
Aware that the brothers would be chasing him until death, the Jedi quickly made a return
to the Jedi Temple, and took his seat in the Council chamber. Obi-Wan had felt the change
in Ventress, and suggested to push for her return to the Jedi Order, as she could reveal
key information about the Separatists, and her powers would be an asset. Yoda is extremely
sceptical, as he did not think that one could return from the temptation of the dark side,
but Ventress was a particular case. The Grandmaster avoided the discontent amongst the other Council
members, and asked Obi-Wan to bring Ventress to the Temple, where he planned to put her
loyalties to the test. The Jedi master had lost track of her after the ordeal on Raydonia,
but remembered the escape pod she had left the planet in, and went to the Jedi archives
to see if there had been any traces of such a ship from the Republic database. Still without
the answers he needed he asked Anakin to help with the search, and upon hearing that Ventress
could be returning, he looked furious. Obi-Wan tried to carefully explain that she could
hold the key to a Republic victory in the war, but Anakin did not believe she could
maintain her loyalties. The Jedi knight stomped towards the Jedi master Tera Sinube, and he
used his knowledge of the Coruscant underworld, to determine that Ventress had been seen in
the lower levels. Anakin quickly sprints off to his speeder, with his blade prepared for
battle, and his master has to chase him using his starfighter, worried that Anakin would
kill the Nightsister. Although he was no slouch at flying, he failed to keep up with the Jedi
knight, and found Anakin battling Ventress on level 1312, through the maze of streets.
The Jedi master jumped in between the battle, and separated them before a death occurred,
as then order Anakin to leave. The Jedi knight reluctantly trudged to the Galactic City,
as Obi-Wan asked Ventress to go back to the Temple. The Nightsister turned away in disgust,
as she still held a grudge against the Jedi for failing to protect her master. Obi-Wan
remarked that he had also felt the same grudge, after the death of Qui-Gon, and together they
could help get her vengeance for what Dooku had done. Considering the offer, she decided
to consult Talzin before joining the Order, and took the trip to Dathomir. Although their
clan and planet had been ruined by Dooku’s forces, Talzin had made a return, and she
had seen visions of Ventress collaborating with the Jedi, and decided that she could
join the Order, deeming it to be the lesser of the evils, and they could be useful in
helping to destroy the Sith. Returning to her former home, she managed to go through
the painful memories, on her journey to the Council Tower, and she looked at the seated
members. Yoda could not sense the strong darkness he had felt during their previous encounter,
but he knew that her exposure to the dark side would not allow her to become a Jedi,
so they decide to disguise her as a Temple guard. The Council spread the word that the
Republic forces had managed to kill the Nightsister in the depths of Coruscant, hoping to ignite
a response from the Sith, but in the meantime, Ventress was feeding information about the
Separatists to the Jedi. But the plan had one weakness in Anakin, and after the Chancellor
had heard of the rumours from the Council, he found them to be suspicious, so summoned
his friend to his office. The Jedi knight did not have the authority to reveal the truth
behind Ventress, but Palpatine knew that the Jedi had planned for the Nightsister, because
nothing could escape the Sith Lord. That is it for part 1 what if Ventress Rejoined
the Jedi Order. If you’d like to see a part 2 soon, please like this video, turn on your
