Are only the men evil? What about strong, independent, influencial, smart, cunning and ambitious women? Do Star Wars do that? Do Star Wars show women as evil at times? As villains? Anti-heroes?
The first ever live-action Star Wars that uses a female dark sider, a Sith, as a main character is being produced right now and schedual for release in 2024. Im talking about the tv-show Star Wars: The Acolyte.
There was only a few days ago ”international womens day”, and I found it proper to make a top-list of strong women in Star Wars, that just happens to also be kind of evil, but still great characters. Sometimes truly amazing!
I used one of the most obvious and recognisable women character in Star Wars thats evil, as a base-line and wanted to find even stronger characters than her, stronger than Asajj Ventress that is. My list got so long, it never stopped growing! There are weaker, minor or character with only so little information on them that are not on this list, but there are so many that deserved to be here and im sure 99% of you will find surprices in this list. There are so many female dark siders here, I will have to divide my motivations for them for some other time.
Here are they, 34 female dark sider that are stronger than Asajj Ventress:
- Kreia
- Vilia Calimondra
- Empress Acina
- Vaylin
- XoXaan
- Sorzus Syn
- Darth Zannah
- Aleema Kato
- Amanoa
- Darth Maladi
- Lumyia
- Belia Darzu
- Lomi Plo
- Dread Master Brontes
- Mother Talzin
- Darth Mekhis
- Lana Beniko
- Jaesa Willsaam
- Visas Marr
- Darth Talon
- Vergere
- Darth Cognus
- Nida Korsin
- Arkadia Calimondra
- Darth Lachris
- Darth Zash
- Vestara Khai
- Githany
- Exal Kressh
- Tari Darkspanner
- Olaris Rhea
- Darth Malora
- Silri
- Mara Jade
- Asajj Ventress
The power they wield, fleets and planets under their direct controll, their knowledge, force powers, cunning and use of manipulation, confidence, willpower, skills with weapons, all of it processed into this ranking, This was way more fun to do than expected. Remember there are alot of female dark side user that are weaker than Ventress, she is not worst in Star Wars. The Clone Wars has made her a popular character that very fast comes to peoples mind when you say ”evil female villain in Star Wars”. She also ended up a kind of anti-hero, as a few others also does in the list.
I personally can not wait for The Acolyte. Ever since its very first mention and description as –“The Acolyte” is a mystery-thriller that will take viewers into a galaxy of shadowy secrets and emerging dark-side powers in the final days of the High Republic era. ” I went totally in for this. Expectations are way high and every single news that drops about the show makes me even more excited.
And dont be evil. That is not cool. Be strong and confidant instead! All these women has a burning flame of passion that comes from the inside. To grow, and to fight on.
