Ven Zallow was a Jedi master during the time of the Great Galactic War. This was during the time of the Old republic era and if you need a little info I talked about it in this post. He was so underrated among fans, I featured him in a top five spot in one of my first posts ever, (Top ten Underrated Jedi).
I always thought he was really cool especially in his fight against Malgus, which not many Jedi outside of Satele Shan or Kao Cen Darach could even say they had, as Darth Malgus usually dispatched opponents in seconds.
During the War he trained an apprentice named Aaron Linea to knighthood, which is a hard accomplishment for any Jedi. Then a little later the Sith reached out to the Republic and proposed peace talks with them, which the Jedi were skeptical about. His former apprentice was then chosen as a Jedi to go to the peace talks. The Sith used the supposed "peace talks," as a diversion to attack the Jedi Temple where Zallow was stationed.
Darth Malgus, who was one of the most powerful Sith lords of his era, killed a few guards and walked right in the Jedi Temple alongside his Twi'lek companion.
Zallow and the rest of the Jedi surrounded Malgus and were about to kill them before Malgus's Sith strike to crashed there ship right into the Jedi Temple destroying part of it. Then the hatch opened. Around 30 Sith ignited there lightsaber's and engaged in combat alongside Malgus against the Jedi.
During the fight Malgus sought out Ven Zallow because he wanted to be able to say he killed one of the most dignified Jedi masters of his era.
(Comic vine Gamespot Gif showing the agility of Ven Zallow.)
Malgus kills a Jedi or 2 before finally engaging in combat with Ven. They battle for a second before Ven gets kicked back by Malgus. Ven then quickly defeats 2 Sith. Malgus throws his lightsaber at Ven, however Ven jumps over the lightsaber. Malgus force pushes Ven while Ven was in the air saving his own life, as Ven would have had an easy time defeating a weaponless Malgus. After that Malgus regains his lightsaber and gets a humongous force leap into the air, attempting to strike the fatal blow.
Ven just barely gets out of the way in time and force leaps over the top of Malgus. He ignited his lightsaber again and ran at Malgus. They traded lightsaber stikes for a second before Ven smacked Malgus in the face with the hilt of his lightsaber.
Ven then spun around to deliver the killing strike against Darth Malgus. Sadly, Darth Malgus beat him to it, impaling him seconds before Ven's lightsaber reached Malgus.
So what do you think? Do you think that Ven's story is one more people should know about?
