On this episode of The Jedi Beat, host Jennifer Landa shines the spotlight on Katie Lucas. Katie wrote some of the most memorable episodes on The Clone Wars, including the Nightsisters arc. She also wrote the storyline of Asajj Ventress and Quinlan Vos that would inspire the best-selling novel, Dark Disciple. What inspired Katie while writing storylines for Asajj Ventress? How did her presence in the writing room change Star Wars? And what is Katie up to now?

I absolutely respect her desire to not return to Star Wars, but I'd be overjoyed if at the end of the episode when Asajj returns, she's revealed as the writer for the episode. Her perspective is just so important to the development of the character. No matter what, I hope she's living the life she wants to live. Great job as always, Jen. Sounds like you're going to make us cry with the next one! 😭
I love the massive stack of reference books in the middle of the writer's room table.
Another great watch, Jennifer Landa 👏
Wow, Katie Lucas should really be on the writing team probably for that Ray movie I think or any future of Star Wars Project

That Rey movie will be a disaster. Pretty sure it will flop.
Consistently blown away at the quality of this series. Which is even more impressive when you're already set a high bar for yourself with Happy Beeps! Thanks for the wonderful presentations!
I learned a lot from this! I'd followed her episodes of Clone Wars she but never knew where she went from there or her background. I'm going to look up the book Herland by Charlotte Perkins Gilman. (I love books about utopias.) I got fed up with the fans long ago and try to ignore them. They identify as fans but hate at least half of the Star Wars movies/shows.
The dark disciple is one of the best star wars book I've read. It might be my favorite.
Hit after hit. Amazing series 👏 ❤
This is my favorite episode so far! That long Lucas pause 😆
Wonderful mini-doc on Katie Lucas! Nice work, Jennifer!
These Jedi Beat episodes are FANTASTIC! The writing, editing and narration are so polished. Thanks Jennifer.
Jenifer, Asajj Ventress has always been one of my hidden favorites. She has her own arc, very private without anyone's help, she did it on her own, stumbled, picked herself up, and found a way back to the light. What I didn't know was Katie's involvement with this character, no doubt she captured the character perfectly and made it her own. Thanks so much for all the research, script, edit, and presentation. This series has become my favorite series to watch; love your smile and energy. Can't wait for the next episode. Best, Tony
Thanks for your deep-dive video! I never knew that George Lucas’ own daughter helped shape Asajj Ventress’ story. That makes me love Asajj even more! Her character arc was one of the most interesting and compelling in the Star Wars Universe. So excited to see her return. Well-done to Katie Rose!
I'm really enjoying these, Jennifer! I've always been curious about Katie's and Marcia's involvement. These Beats are so interesting and informative! Thanks for making them!
Fantastic episode, thank you for your hard work and insightful approach. ❤ Keep up the good work! George Lucas turns 80 this year and what a great way to celebrate his creation and the talented people who have contributed over the decades!
Such a great video shining a light on Katie Lucas! I know a lot of the narrative is a bit more contained than the OT and PT, but if there's another "season" of The Jedi Beat it would be great having an episode about production of the Sequel Trilogy!
Another great episode. So well researched! The pace is outstanding. I never feel I can take my eyes off it as I would miss something important. Amazing work.
I still have Savage t-shirt as well from the screening in DC. Katie is supremely talented. We used to always look forward to her episodes each season.
Wow, Distillers! Great job, Jen! Katie's work shown here after TCW looks amazing
Beautiful, Jen! I love the series. :)
This was such an eye opening Jedi Beat podcast episode for me back in the early Forcecenter days. Glad it was selected to make the jump to the KZread side of things!
Another great episode from Jennifer Landa and ForceCenter. I felt like I knew some of this, but Jennifer’s goes into such detail that I realized I didn’t know half the story. This was great to see, and now I want more stories from Katie Rose as well.
Saving for later. Cant wait. Thanks Jennifer and FC crew
These are great, Jennifer!! Kudos!
Distillers was a fun surprise. I saw them several times back in like 03-04, but outside of the shows I've never heard anyone bring them up who I hadn't introduced to the band.
Another wonderful episode Jen. Katie Lucas wrote some of my favorite arcs. And Buffy the Vampire Slayer is also one of my favorite shows.
Another great episode in this series! Katie wrote some great stories for TCW. I’d love to see her enticed back somehow too. Thank for putting so much work into these Jen. They’re the best! Can’t wait to see the Princess!
Katie Lucas Show & Movies 1. Chi Eekway, Lunae Minx, Amee, Writer - Star Wars The Clone Wars, Episode 1 The Phantom Menace, Episode 2 Attack of the Clones, Episode 3 Revenge of the Sith 1999 - 2002 - 2005 - 2009 - 2014
I’m definitely going to view those clones wars episodes in a different light now after watching this. Another great episode Jennifer! Maybe one day she will come back to SW for something. I’d love to see her get a credit for helping flesh out Ventress when she is revealed in TBB.
Happy Birthday Katie Lucas. UR beautiful. Wow. I never knew u were on Star Wars. I didn't no, u were George was ur father. He was a the director. And I saw him, the movie, Men in Black. It was the monitor, when agent K said, "Everyone on the screen is an alien". Love Men in Black. Me, my younger and older brothers, we love Star Wars. We seen the first one, when we were little... ...can't remember when I was a kid. I was 4. Never seen it, I never forget. Seriously, Star Wars is my first favorite movies, all of them. Kids love action. Lunae Minx is beautiful, I love alien girls, Bow Chicka Bow Wow. LOL. U were amazing, full respect and support u Katie. Love u Lunae Minx. If I ever get married, and have kids... I would name one of them, Kylo Ren Guajardo and Ahsoka Tano Guajardo. Yeah. Its like the movie "That's my Boy." Donny name his kid Han Solo. May the Peace be with u Chi Eekway, Lunae Minx and Amee. From Harlingen Texas. April 13, 1988 April 13, 2024 through April 13, 3024
Great video! Thanks for doing it. I'd also like to see Katie Lucas back. She helped make Venttress one of my favorite characters. With Asajj back in Bad Batch my head canon theory that Shin is the love child of Ventress and Quinlan Vos can actually be true. If she ever appears in live-action, which she should, here are my casting ideas for an older Asajj Ventress: - Cate Blanchett - Uma Thurman - Angelina Jolie For a younger Asajj: - Evan Rachel Wood - Cara Delevingne - Margot Robbie (not realistic but had to mention) - Lauren Cohan (Maggie of TWD) - Anya Taylor-Joy (Queen's Gambit. My top choice for Ventress) - Sadie Sink (Max of Stranger Things)
Man I hope Katie was at the very least consulted if not intrinsic to the return of Ventress in Bad Batch. I don't even know how much of the dialogue and story points of Dark Disciple were kept from her scripts, but I do wish we had gotten those episodes because the story was just that good (and that's not to slight Christie Golden, the book made me want to see the final episodes more), and I don't know how they're going to reconcile the end of that book with Ventress' return. Katie knows this character more than most, I hope she had (and continues to have) a hand in her story.
Probably the best writer for TCW IMO
Smashed it. 🤘🏽🤘🏽
Interesting. Thanks, Jennifer! 🌕🌖🌗🌘🌑🌒🌓🌔🌕
This was such a good episode with so much fascinating i formation I knew nothing about! Keep up the great work!
1:15 Nancy Allen! 🤗
Great job!
Clone Wars would have been longer. But at this time it has 66 hours of run time.
I guess the lesion here is don't spoil your kids cause they'll grow up to resent you.
This series is top notch!! 🎉🎉
