    I would've liked your post, but unfortunately that's the damsel in distress version.

    Of course, when she was not in that position, she was potrayed as a cold and uncaring person in order to "show how much better Ani and Ahsoka are."

    And then once her uses were complete, they proceeded to kill her off the way they did for the "cool factor."

    Rant over.

    In the movies, Luminara.

    In the EU, Bastila, Atris, Arren Kae, and Meetra Surik.

    Ventress was not really a Jedi, not for long anyway. If her brief apprenticeship counts...she's my favorite female Jedi too. Definitely my favorite female Force user regardless.

    I'm shocked there's no mention of Atris. She was the Jorus C'Baoth of her time, you know.

    Luminara portrayed as a "damsel in distress"?! Killed for the cool factor? Is that some EU story I'm not familiar with?

    It's TCW. The first time was when she refused Ahsoka's help to fight Ventress, but then gets beaten badly and Ahsoka has to come save the day. Then there was that time with the brain worms stuff where she's captured and Ani and Obi come to rescue her like in some old time movie where the knight comes to save the princess locked in the tower with the dragon(or in this case "queen")

    And lot of people thought her death was "cool."

    I really never liked Atris, though. (I know, I know.) But she always fell a bit flat.

    I'd have liked to see more female Jedi kick butt in the movies.

    And since I didn't really see many in action at all (or even speak) it would be very difficult for me to choose.

    Judging by the micro series it would appear she was a jedi until her late teens-mid twenties. (Whenver that meeting with Dooku took place.)

    Her portrayal in TCW is not of a "damsel in distress", nor was she killed in the series hence why I asked what EU story was he talking about.

    Well, it's not what the show presents, imo. I'm talking about her death in Rebels. I saw it as an unworthy death for her, but there's nothing I can do about it. And in the EU she was not being captured and could easily defend herself without the help of others.

    Me too, never liked Atris's personality, but I suppose that was the intention with her anyway. But I love her design, the white hair and robes and that blue lightsaber...epic look!

    I got the impression she was quite young when she lost her master and embraced the Dark Side - with there being a big gap between Ky Narec's death and her apprenticing to Dooku.

    So - she was a Jedi (Padawan) for a while on Rattatak, lost her master, went dark - conquered the whole planet and destroyed the warlords (both EU and newcanon) - and then at some point very early in the Clone Wars - apprenticed to Dooku.
