The Return of Shadows: Ventress Rises, Her Saber Awakens, and the Galaxy Prepares
Posted by Korbanth Sabers on Apr 12th 2025
“I’ll never forget the first time I saw The Clone Wars. It didn’t just extend the story. It transformed the universe. It introduced characters that felt more raw, more human, and more dangerous than anything we’d seen before.” — Randy Johnson, Founder of Korbanth Sabers

A Memory That Never Fades
It’s wild to think how much impact The Clone Wars had. Not just on Star Wars as a franchise, but on the fans who stuck around when things felt uncertain. It opened up the world in a way the movies didn’t. Suddenly there was depth. There were moral gray areas. There were characters like Asajj Ventress and Cad Bane, people you didn’t see coming, but who stuck with you long after the credits rolled.
And now, they’re both back.
With Tales of the Underworld dropping on May 4th, we’re seeing a return to the kind of storytelling that made The Clone Wars so unforgettable. The kind that focuses on outliers. Survivors. Characters who’ve been through hell and aren’t done fighting. This new anthology is going to give both Bane and Ventress room to breathe again, and we’re here for it.
Cad Bane Walks Again
There’s something about seeing Cad Bane show up again that just hits different. For years he was one of those characters you assumed would stay animated. Then he showed up in The Book of Boba Fett, and you could feel the tension in every frame. That wasn’t just a cameo. It was a reminder of how dangerous he still is.
Now in Tales of the Underworld, it looks like we’re getting more than just a bounty-of-the-week story. This time, Bane is facing something personal, someone from his past. And that matters, because if there’s one thing fans know about Bane, it’s that he doesn’t let emotions get in the way. So whatever this story ends up being, it’s going to show us a side of him we haven’t really seen before. Maybe even one he hasn’t seen in himself.
Asajj Ventress Was Never Gone
For a lot of fans, Asajj Ventress never really left. She’s one of the most compelling characters in all of Star Wars—and for good reason. She’s been through everything. Sith training. Betrayal. A shattered sense of identity. And somehow, every time we saw her again, she had evolved. She wasn’t ever just “the villain.” She was something more complex. More real.
Her last on-screen appearance in The Bad Batch was quiet, but meaningful. You could tell she wasn’t the same person she used to be. She had grown. Let go of the rage that used to define her. And now, Tales of the Underworld is giving her another chapter, and it’s already raising questions.
She’s fighting a dark side Force user, and she’s wielding a yellow lightsaber. That alone says a lot. It’s not a color you see often, and it usually represents independence, force users who don’t belong to the Jedi or the Sith. Which fits. Because Ventress never really belonged to anyone but herself.
This return feels earned. And if you’ve followed her story since the beginning, it’s going to hit hard.
What Do You Think? The Galaxy Wants Your Voice
As this new chapter begins, the Star Wars universe is watching. Fans everywhere are debating, celebrating, and theorizing about what this series will become and we want to hear where YOU stand.

We’ve launched a quick 15-second poll to gauge the excitement from our community of collectors, fans, and lore-obsessed Jedi and Sith alike.
A Saber Forged From Her Shadows
When we saw Ventress was coming back, we knew we had to do something special. This wasn’t just about launching a saber. It was about doing right by the character. About building something that respected her story and the fans who have been waiting for this moment.
The Shadow Mistress Saber is exactly that.
This isn’t a concept design or a loose interpretation. This is a fully realized, handcrafted replica inspired by her appearance in Tales of the Underworld.
It’s made from aerospace-grade metal, with a curved hilt that’s balanced, weighty, and screen-accurate. The kind of piece that feels right the second you hold it.
What really sets it apart, though, is the sound. We created a world-exclusive sound font, tailored specifically for this release. It’s raw, emotional, and powerful, just like her. From the first ignition to the final fade, it sounds like a saber forged by someone who’s walked through fire and come out stronger.
Whether you’ve followed Ventress from the start or are just now discovering her, this saber is more than a collector’s item. It’s a tribute to her legacy.
April 26th: The Galaxy Changes

But this one is different.
