attention due to her role in the Star Wars: Clone Wars animated series. She also plays a large role in some Star Wars novels and many of the Star Wars comics published by Dark Horse. Asajj Ventress is a Dark Jedi, and she is one of Count Dooku’s Force-attuned assassins and apprentices. During the first season of the Clone Wars, the story pits her against Anakin Skywalker as his arch-nemesis.

Soon after the Clone Wars animated series premiered, the Asajj Ventress costume became very popular for a number of reasons. A primary reason is Asajj’s gender. Despite the many great characters in the Star Wars universe, the costume opportunities for women have always been limited outside of the overused Princess Leia slave costume. The Asajj Ventress costume offered something different. It’s distinct, sexy, modest and relatively simple to assemble.

The Asajj Ventress costume has become one of the top-selling officially licensed Star Wars costumes. Moreover, the Asajj Ventress costume is relatively inexpensive compared to many officially licensed Star Wars costumes. Nevertheless, fans can still save some money by designing their own version. In addition, they get the pride and the sense of achievement that comes along with completing a custom costume.

The most difficult aspect of the Asajj Ventress costume is that Asajj has a bald head adorned with Sith tattoos. Female fans have three main options. The most common of which is create an imperfect costume by fashioning the hair to blend into the motif. While this may not be enough for the perfectionist, many of female fans look fantastic and have their own unique style. The second but more expensive option is to purchase a bald cap. You can purchase an officially licensed bald cap that includes the tattoos that aren’t much more expensive than regular bald caps.

The final and least popular option, shaving one’s head, is an option for the most dedicated only. If you decide to take this route, you must shave the head closely with a razor. You can apply the tattoos by hand with temporary skin-safe paints or with temporary Sith tattoos that are available online or at costume shops with extensive Star Wars sections.

As for the Asajj Ventress lightsaber, costume makers should consider purchasing the officially licensed version. The Asajj Ventress lightsaber is particularly difficult because it is bent. Most custom-made Star Wars lightsabers are made with PVC, and PVC is very difficult to bend without kinking it. However, some costume makers manage to do it with flexible tubing.
