Asajj Ventress: Galaxy at War

A lesser-known part of the Star Wars universe was a chance to get away from tried stances…

“I’m not up on all of the extended universe Star Wars characters, Asajj Ventress included, but it didn’t take long to figure out she’s a powerful, sinister character. There’s a finite amount of poses for figures with lightsabers, and I’m tired of most of them. A menacing female with two glowing wands provided me with something a little different to play with. I received feedback from the Lucas team that she needed to be more aggressive, with “crossed lightsabers and a sneer”. Reference photos were shot of my wife holding broomsticks, “sneering” in her underwear, but I think I’ll keep those pics to myself!”
