Full Series The Clone Wars - 5.17 - Sabotage - discussion thread

Well you can't do that and then not tell us your theory....

 

I highly doubt they will kill off Ahsoka this season, I mean she's one of the biggest parts of the show that makes people watch it, especially the younger audience (mostly girls), which is a huge part in the marketing, and I'm sure they wouldn't just let Ashley go with one or more seasons still to come. Ventress on the other hand isn't as big in the show and it wouldn't effect the show as much, it'd just be another Vizsla, Satine and Savage incident, and that would end her storyline. Rex is the same with Ahsoka, except he's who the younger boys like and one of the reasons they watch it, and I'm sure there's so much more that can be done with Rex. If anyone were to die, I'd put my money on Ventress.

 

Ashoka has already proven herself to be the antithesis of a Mary-Sue during her rebellious-arc with Anakin. She's matured in a very detailed and unsimplistic manner.

Right now I just want to see Anakin and Ashoka work together again. In some ways, I find their dynamic more interesting than the Obi-Wan Anakin relationship.

 

I do like the sound of this. This arc will be a psychological thriller.

 

If I'm thinking the same as you, Anakinfan, I do hope Obi-Wan is not one of the architects of said action.

 

I hope Palpatine appears in this episode, so we can find out who the new voice actor is!

 

same here

 

Spoiler

possible theory, Ahsoka dies and Anakin and Palps are having a conversation and Palps frames the Jedi for killing her, putting more distrust with the Council and Anakin

 

Who is the "our" in this?

 

"Me and those who agree with me. " LOL!
I think the Mary-Sueish debate constantly rises up again and again.

 

I was thinking something more along that line of thought...

Spoiler

I almost got the feeling that not only did Ahsoka get framed for the bombing but that in her pursuit of the real culprit, she became entangled in another crime and framed for that as well with evidence that pointed directly to Ahskoa (some of you may remember the fact I brought up not too long ago about Ventress having Ahsoka's lightsaber on her belt in the S5 trailer). My thought is that this would give the Council a "clear" view of Ahsoka as the culprit and that she was more dangerous than they realized.

Also, if this line is said after the trial that we see in the arc trailer and she's already shown that she could evade a legal trial, it could give them a reason to declare her "extremely dangerous - shoot (or kill) on sight."

The other possibility is that Palpatine has passed a statute (such as with Order 66) that states that if a single Jedi turns against the Republic, they should be executed (immediately, on-sight, in the field, etc.). This could result in the Council trying to adhere to that statute when she is "proven" to be a traitor by sending someone to hunt her down and defeat her - the Job would then be given to Anakin and he wouldn't be able to do it, resulting in Mace making the statement.

 

I recomend you to read Star Wars: Republic 64 - Bloodlines.
there´s why and when the Red Guards appeared.

 

Didn't Palpatine have the Red Guards before AotC? I swear they were in the Senate when Granta Omega pulled his stunt.
Edit: it's a flashback to 32BBY

 

If he is perhaps he feels he has to because of his position, but inwardly he's secretly supporting Anakin's actions?

 

Man, I hope some of your guys' theories about this arc are right. We need something big to happen with some of these characters soon (sorry Ahsoka, especially looking at you).

 

Is he acknowledged as Yularen in ANH script or cast?

 

I'm really hoping that Obi-wan is not behind the plot myself. Sure he was mastermind of the Rako Hardeen arc but lets see Mace and Yoda get their hands dirty.

 

I feel like this should've aired before the Maul arc..

 

Hopefully this Arc is great as the Maul Arc

 

Hopefully this arc is even better than the Maul arc. That's a tough task but ideally every arc should be better than the last.

 

I'm kind of unsure about this arc. The premise sounds decent but does it have to be about Ahsoka? I have nothing against her or anything but is she really the best person to have the finale arc about?

Is Padme set to be in this arc? She hasn't been on the show this whole season. She was shown in the trailer.
