Has to that sort of a character type. Across one movie and five seasons, the show’s intended audience has grown up with her, watched her become a confident Jedi, and has come to relate to her. In the same way that Cary Grant and Jimmy Stewart’s were sophisticated movie actors who were still believable as regular people in Hitchcock’s films, Ahsoka’s image is one of both a competent Jedi and the audience surrogate in the narrative.

In “The Jedi Who Knew Too Much,” Ahsoka found herself in a Hitchcockian situation of being set up for the murder of Letta, the woman who fed her husband the explosive nano-bots that blew up the Jedi Temple hangar last week . Since clones were killed in the explosion, Palpatine decreed that it was a military issue, not a Jedi one, and placed Tarkin in charge of the matter. The change in jurisdictional control was likely a three-pronged decision: The first, as Tarkin explained, is that Palpatine is seeking to further remove the Jedi from military matters, because they are peacekeepers, not warriors. The second, and this is me theorizing, is that Palpatine’s looking for another way to discredit the Jedi, and the murder of bombing suspect by a Jedi would certainly fit into that mold. I’ll get to that third prong in just a moment.

“To Catch a Jedi” didn’t quite hold up the incredible adrenaline and ominous tone of last week’s episode, but seeing Ahsoka on the run continued to be a compelling and fascinating turn of events.

The trailer released last summer for The Clone Wars: Season 5 showed glimpses of Ahsoka fighting Asajj Ventress, so it was good that their initial confrontation gave way to an unexpected alliance between the two – and that Ahsoka both first suspected Ventress was behind the Jedi Temple bombing and then quickly realized that wasn’t the case.

Still one of my favorite characters on this show, Ventress again was a very fun, very morally murky presence, who still seemed utterly out for herself, but obviously not quite as nasty as when we first met her – Best shown when she bragged, after a confrontation with Clone Troopers, “See, didn’t kill one. It’s the new me.”

Once again, The Clone Wars does a good job setting up the conflicts in Revenge of the Sith, as we see Mace Windu show that he is the least trusting among the Jedi Council when it comes to Anakin – not believing he should participate in the hunt for Ahsoka.
