Around the time of the Clone Wars, Ash met Jedi Knight Vydel Dir'Nul when she was on a bodyguard assignment for the Jedi Council. She fell in love with him; however, when she saw him flirting with a Twi'lek slave girl, Dir'Nul became the Dark Jedi Kardem and killed them both.
Ash B'risko shares parts of his name with two characters played by Bruce Campbell, the protagonist Ashley J. "Ash" Williams from the Evil Dead film series, and the title character Brisco County, Jr. from the television series The Adventures of Brisco County, Jr. This was a deliberate reference to the actor, according to Jason Hall, writer of "Dark Journey."
