“Reading Dark Disciple really feels like you’re watching some of the best episodes of The Clone Wars.”—Eucantina
“Emotionally charged . . . Christie Golden does a wonderful job of capturing the characters.”—Roqoo Depot
“A cool inclusion into the Star Wars mythos . . . Ventress and Vos have a cool and compelling dynamic, and are used to explore more of what it means to flirt with the Dark Side of the Force.”—IGN
“[The Clone Wars have been] a huge part of the Star Wars brand for years, and [Christie] Golden manages to craft a story worthy of the themes and characters that fans have come to relate to. . . . [She] uses this opportunity to craft Dark Disciple into a spy/espionage thriller.”—Tech Times
“Golden especially excelled at bringing Ventress’s biting but appealing personality to life. . . . She’s very much a woman trying to find her way, and Dark Disciple adds nuance.”—Nerdist

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.
Before I go on, I want to reassure readers about Quinlan Vos. Both Vos and Ventress initially appeared in DarkHorse’s Republic comic series (no longer considered canon). Ventress became a key character on The Clone Wars TV show, showing more depth and nuance than the comic version. By the end of Season 5, she had turned her back on Count Dooku and had become a bounty hunter who sometimes worked with the Jedi. By contrast, many fans were disheartened by Quinlan Vos’ single appearance in “Hunt for Ziro” because he came across as a shallow beach bum rather than the brooding, sensual Jedi who had flirted with the Dark Side.
Fortunately, Dark Disciple does much to rehabilitate Quinlan’s character. The Quinlan Vos in Dark Disciple isn’t an exact copy of the one from the Republic comics, but it’s clear that the comics inspired Katie Lucas and Christie Golden.
Vos has been one of my favorite characters in the EU when he first appeared in the Dark Horse comics. His story was already established; that is up until he disappeared into the universe after order 66. Even hints of children with the woman he loved in the Dark horse universe in the Legacy run. So when Disney destroyed everything that had been established in the previous twenty years and turned the EU into Legends I really tried to hate this novel. The other character in the novel Ventress in the Dark Horse universe just flew off into space and disappeared. The Clone Wars series developed her character more and brought her into the Canon of Star Wars for everyone to enjoy. In all her manipulative beautiful evil ways. The series giving her a deeper history and linking her with the Night Sisters. Again I tried to hate this novel, as a matter of fact, up until the last twenty pages I thought that Golden had taken one of my favorite characters and completely destroyed him. She had definitely taken Ventress and developed her into a richer character for us to enjoy. We really get into her character within this novel. Saying all that, this novel is still going to make a lot of fans of the old Canon completely furious. I don’t want to give away any spoilers so I will leave it at that. The novel is based off of three Clone Wars episodes that never made it to air. The novel takes those episodes and expands them into a large epic that would of been great to actually see. Some stuff I wonder how it would of actually made it onto TV especially into cartoon network. You will understand once you read the novel. One of my favorite scenes in the book is how the bounty hunters are used in this novel and Golden references the Clone Wars episodes where Ventress humiliates Fett.
