You need to understand that stabbing with a lightsaber requires A Lot of discipline, on both the stabber as well as the stabbee’s parts. You need that blade to go in really straight, then hold it very still, and after being stabbed you Also need to hold very still. It’s not a physical blade that will move with you, and you’re not a reinforced bulkhead that will resist it’s cutting, any movement by either participant and this becomes less of a stab and more of a slice.
At this stage an automatic can opener is more dangerous than a lightsaber.

Lol. Never noticed the sighs. It went on for far longer than I had thought it was going to.

"What's going on with Ahsoka. What's her deal?" "Well she stands around with her arms crossed and a little smirk on her face." "Ok, ok. What else?" "Not much." "Oh... ok..." "Very stoic and smirky and never anything else."
God... this video nails everything that was wrong with Ahsoka, and does it in only 6 minutes. I'd've though you'd need longer to get 'em all.

Nah. This and the Honest Trailer left a lot of meat on the bone. They pulled some of their punches. And I’m saying that as someone who didn’t hate the show.

That title would sell tickets. People would make it a success just to find out what the sequel is called.

There's a statement floating about online from someone or other on the show stating that any new storyline involving Asajj will fit in with the events of Dark Disciple. So whatever is going on with her, it's not a retcon.
That being said, she's a character descended from an order of necromancers, in a tv show about clones. They don't need a retcon to reintroduce her.
Yay, Bad Batch. And not a very long wait either. Nice.
So what does Asajj die of? If it's anything less than falling down a bottomless pit into an exploding reactor while being stabbed with a lightsaber, twice, I think she can be excused for failing to die real dead.
Nehekhara lives! Sort of!
Why is the rum always gone?
I think she dies to give motivation to Quinlan “who?” Voss.
A side character’s side character. Or one of the most interesting characters to come out of Clone Wars. Someone who’s been Jedi, sort-of-Sith, sort-of-Night Sister. Someone who’s only ever been used by others.
I really hope they’re faking us out on it not being a retcon.

Fed up of Scalpers? But still want your Exclusives? Why not join us?
The best thing about Quinlan Vos is watching YouTube try to explain why he's going to be important in each upcoming Star Wars property to try and justify him. And yes, Asajj's death is a complete waste, particularly given how much they've done with Ahsoka.
I would kill for Asajj to appear in Ahsoka s2. Ideally as anti-hero, but an otherwise important ally.
Even if it’s the three from the other Galaxy resurrecting Asajj, and then learning “hey, see Thrawn’s former boss, total phallus. Arranged the extinction of our people because we were a threat to his power”.

It's not so bad. She got better, apparently.
And it may not actually be that bad. Maul suffered a mild case of death and in spite of the WTFness of bringing him back, we got some great appearances out of it, especially in Rebels. Might be worth overlooking Asajj's temporary demise in time if she gets the same treatment.

Or got replaced by her neutral twin, who got all the hair.
Honestly, this feels... weird. Random insertion of edgy 'was everything' background character so the show about storm troopers has more lightsabers. Seriously, her bio reads like she was just in every single force cult the writers ever thought up. Jedi, Sith, Nightsisters, etc, plus oh, a bounty hunter as well? This was somebody's Mary Sue and somebody up top rightfully took an axe to her. Now someone was worried about the season 2 ratings of Bad Batch and just shoved her in for a ratings bump (probably for just 1-2 episodes at the mid-season slump)

I mean, it kind of was. Dark Disciple was written from early production material for a bunch of Clone Wars episodes that they didn't manage to add to the final season.
Yeah, but we know that only the films and shows are considered when it comes to Star Wars.
Anything else is "supplementary" and gets binned when it's not wanted anymore because they can take certain creative liberties.

That was the case when Lucas was in charge. Since Disney's takeover, they started considering everything canon - their whole thing was that it was all one big combined universe, as that encourages people to buy the books and comics as well as watching the shows and movies.
Even without that, though, Dark Disciple is a bit of an outlier as it was material that was supposed to be in the show in the first place.
... yeah..
