Ventress is something of a Sith foil to Ahsoka, the apprentice and once-trusted assassin of Count Dooku. The Clone Wars series, heavily represented in Battlefront's sequel, depicts the eponymous conflict between the clone armies of the Galactic Republic and the droid forces of the Separatist Alliance, of which Ahsoka plays a major part as a Jedi commander of the 501st, the clone Legion at the heart of the 2005 Battlefront 2 campaign. Both Ahsoka and Ventress make their canonical debuts in the 2008 Clone Wars animated film, though the latter originally appeared in the 2D Clone Wars mini-series from 2003, developed by Samurai Jack creator Genndy Tartakovsky.Īhsoka is the Padawan apprentice to Anakin Skywalker before he falls to the Dark Side and assumes the mantle of Darth Vader. Ahsoka Tano and Asajj Ventress were set to be next in line following the introduction of BB-8 and BB-9E, which joined Battlefront 2 in February 2020. Characters unique to the Clone Wars series (Ahsoka and Ventress), among other planned additions, would never materialize, and may even be casualties of multiple studios working on Battlefield 2042, which has launched with a long list of issues despite its all-hands-on-deck approach.īattlefront 2's playable iconic characters from the galaxy far, far away are referred to as Heroes and Villains depending on the faction they're tied to. Between the latter and content inspired by the ninth Star Wars film, The Rise of Skywalker, Battlefront 2 actually already had some additions from the series' Clone Wars era, focusing on the big names from Attack of the Clones and Revenge of the Sith - Anakin Skywalker, Obi-Wan Kenobi, Count Dooku, and General Grievous. They often coincided with the release of the latest Star Wars blockbuster, and Battlefront 2 received content centered around The Last Jedi, Solo: A Star Wars Story, and more. Post-launch updates brought more playable heroes, character skins, maps, and a variety of gameplay reworks on a semi-frequent basis to Star Wars Battlefront 2.
