An In-depth Look at Ventress and Quinlan Vos

Posted on by

Amid a galactic amount of exciting Star Wars news at San Diego Comic Con this year, Del Rey Books announced an exciting new project slated for 2015. During their various panels and events held at Comic Con, the Star Wars website provided fans with a live blog feed that covered the exciting content. One such feed covered the Star Wars: A New Dawn panel held on July 25th, 2014. A New Dawn is an upcoming Star Wars novel, penned by author John Jackson Miller, that will tie-in to the upcoming Star Wars Rebels television show.

The following post was added to the official Star Wars website at 2:33 PM PT, “New reveal! An Asajj Ventress novel (featuring Quinlan Vos) by Christie Golden!” Dave Filoni, Executive Producer of Star Wars Rebels commented on the project, “Ventress had become one of the most interesting characters…we had all this material, we had all these designs…This is based on scripts we had written with George Lucas…I’m super excited about this book.” Jennifer Heddle, Senior Editor of LucasBooks, also commented that the book will be targeted towards an adult audience. Pablo Hidalgo, a member of the famed “Story Group,” notes that this novel will be able to surpass some of the limitations presented by The Clone Wars (TCW) television show, effectively going “deeper” into the narrative. A beautifully crafted cover art was revealed as well that shows an enraged Ventress lunging at the silhouette of, presumably, Quinlan Vos.
