Asajj Ventress /əˈsɑːʒ ˈvɛntrəs/ is a fictional character from the Star Wars franchise during the Clone Wars, appearing in the Clone Wars micro-series (voiced by Grey DeLisle), and in The Clone Wars film and television series (voiced by Nika Futterman). A powerful Dark-side Adept Force warrior with exceptional combat abilities, she wields dual lightsabers with curved handles that can attach together and form a double bladed weapon with a curve in the middle.

Before the character of Count Dooku was developed, the Art Department for Star Wars: Episode II – Attack of the Clones developed "a Sith villainess" by Dermot Power.

When the Star Wars expanded universe resurrected this female Sith idea as one of Dooku's underlings who could appear more frequently throughout the Clone Wars, this nameless Separatist Commander was dubbed "Juno Eclipse" but the name was rejected as "not villainous enough", and she was renamed "Asajj Ventress"; "Juno Eclipse" was later recycled for use in Star Wars: The Force Unleashed.
