Star Wars: The Clone Wars

One character inStar Wars : The Clone Warsmade the most absurd plot production line inStar war : Episode II - Attack of the Clonesmuch bad . The prequel trilogy epoch is one of the most crucial intheStar Warstimelinebecause there was important change during this period — change that specify the future of the Jedi , the Republic , and the galaxy for generations . One of the most significant event during this era was the blackwash attempt on Padmé Amidala inAttack of the Clones , which begin a domino event that sealed Padmé and Anakin Skywalker ’s fortune , along with many others .

This character assassination attempt has become a long - running joke aboutStar Warsmovies and TV shows , however , becausethe plot to killPadmé was an excessively complicated one , to say the least . Essentially , Palpatine / Darth Sidious told Count Dooku to obliterate Padmé , and Dooku hired Jango Fett , who hired Zam Wesell , who used a droid to institutionalise hemipterous insect into Padmé ’s room to kill her . As silly as this convoluted plot may have already seemed , though , one aspect ofThe Clone Warsmade it that much worse .

The Clone Wars Introduced Count Dooku’s Real Assassin… Ventress

Dooku Already Had A Much Better Option For This Plot

The Clone Warsintroduced a host of brand - new characters who have since become sports fan favorites , among them Anakin ’s former Jedi Padawan Ahsoka Tano and clone trooper Captain Rex , two ofStar Wars’best characters . Asajj Ventress , aNightsister of Dathomirand Count Dooku ’s Sith assassin , was not exactly new inThe Clone Wars . She had already appear in theStar warfare : Clone Wars(2003 ) animated serial publication , but that show was not canon ; this was Ventress ' first canon appearance . Regardless , The Clone Warsclearly establish a much better assassin for Dooku ’s plot : Asajj Ventress .

When Dooku created this design to have Padmé kill , he already had Ventress lick as his bravo .

Ventress was take as Count Dooku ’s assassin at some point betweenStar state of war : Episode I - The Phantom MenaceandAttack of the Clones , which means that , when Dooku created this design to have Padmé killed , he already had Ventress work as his assassin . This makes it even more bewildering that Dooku had such an unexpended approach to kill Padmé . If he had Ventress as his official assassin , why would he engage Jango Fett to kill her ?

Is There Any Way To Explain This Plot Hole?

There May Be Valid Reasons Count Dooku Didn’t Use Ventress In This Case

Although it does initially seem to just be an odd oversight — perhaps one created becauseThe Clone Warswas free afterAttack of the Clones , there are some possible in - macrocosm explanations for Dooku not have Ventress carry out this assassination effort . For one , Dooku may not have wanted to adventure revealing a Sith assassin . Although Ventress was not a Sith herself , she was a dark side Force - user working for a Sith . This could have let out Dooku , ruin Palpatine ’s larger game .

Dooku also already had a work relationship with Jango Fett , a bounty hunter , because he served as the template for the ringer . Perhaps this fed into Dooku ’s conclusion to hire Fett over Ventress to kill Padmé . Even so , the Revelation of Saint John the Divine inStar Wars : The Clone Warsthat Count Dooku had a specific Sith assassin working for him at this time make it even odder that he chose this complex plot to kill Padmé inStar Wars : Episode II - Attack of the Clones .
