Tales of the Underworld - A Way Forward

Following the format of Tales of the Jedi and Tales of the Empire, the opening episode of the new Star Wars animated series focuses on Asajj Ventress (Nika Futterman), her resurrection on Dathomir and the new life she makes for herself staying under the radar until she's drawn back into the fray in her attempts to help a young Jedi named Lyco (Lane Factor). Keeping the kid safe and one-step ahead of the Stormtroopers and Inquisitor (Daniel Ross) after him, forces Ventress to reveal herself and leave her new life behind in favor of the unknown.

While I enjoyed Ventriss as a foil for Obi-Wan, and more specifically Ahsoka, in The Clone Wars, I wasn't craving any future appearances from the character (nor the other bounty hunter from the series who will be the focus of some of the other episodes). Still, the episode is well-enough made, there's plenty of action with a touch of angst, and fans of the character are likely to find enjoyment here.
