The latest canon Star Wars novel, Dark
Disciple actually comes from a script written by Katie Lucas,
Matt Michnovetz, and Dave Filoni for The
Clone Wars animated TV show before it was canceled. In Dark Disciple, the Jedi Council sends Quinlan Vos on a mission to
recruit Asajj Ventress to help assassinate Count Dooku. I’ll try not to
reveal too many spoilers, which is especially difficult for this book, and will focus on plot developments that happen during the first quarter of the novel.
Although Quinlan Vos and Asajj
Ventress are both fan favorites, I’d never imagined that they’d appear together, much less in a Clone Wars novel. Yet, after having read the novel, the pairing seems
natural. They’re both strong, sexy - yes, sexy - characters who have touched the Dark Side. Dark Disciple is a character
study of how these two learn to trust and respect one another.
