With Star Wars The Clone Wars Season 7 Episode 7 Dangerous Debt releasing on Disney+ tomorrow,
I again thought it would be interesting to speculate on the next step in Ahsoka’s journey
away from the Jedi Order and her master Anakin Skywalker.
So before we get into it, remember to subscribe to the channel to be notified as soon as I
release my huge explainer + recap video tomorrow, when Clone Wars Season 7 Episode 7 drops!
The official description for this Episode of the Clone Wars states “taken prisoner
by the Pykes, Ahsoka and the Martez sisters attempt to escape”.
So right away, the description of the episode confirms that not only were the crew of the
Silver Angel being held captive above the surface of the planet Obah Diah, but that
they were brought down and are now being held as prisoners of the Pyke Crime syndicate.
This tells us that the episode wont start off exactly where we left it, but most likely
from the prison cells of the crew.
Seeing as Trace dumped the spice shipment into hyperspace during the last episode, the
crew most likely don’t have many options to bargain their way out captivity by the
Pykes.
So for that reason I’m going to make a huge call and say that Anakin will somehow feature
in their rescue.
Although this may not happen in this episode, I think there’s a big chance we’ll see
him again in the finale of the arc.
Having Anakin appear in the last episode may just be a small little nod for the fans to
keep us interested in this storyline, but I really do think it was a small setup for
something a lot larger going into the last episodes of the arc, and even leading into
the siege of Mandalore.
Based on the short preview clip and the images released on the Star Wars official page, it
looks as if Ahsoka the Martez sisters are initially placed into a single cell together,
but are later separated, when Trace is singled out as the leader and brought to a different
location.
Based on Ahsoka and Trace’s reaction to Raffa’s return to their cell, on top of
her body looking extremely drained and depleted, I think it’s pretty clear that Raffa has
been tortured by the Pykes for her failure to deliver their spice.
It's possible that they are trying to extract information from her about the Twi’Lek royal
family of Kessel from the last episode, but it may just be punishment for her failure.
After that we see Trace becoming increasingly angry at the Pyke guards, leading her to push
one of them, who then proceeds to take her away.
This is another shockingly stupid decision on the part of Trace, possibly even more stupid
than dumping their spice into hyper space.
This time however, Trace may pay with her life.
Although it is unlikely that a main character would be killed off, it would add a great
amount of depth to the character of Ahsoka going into the Siege of Mandalore having witnessed
the realities of life away from the Jedi order.
The images also show the group outside of the cell, confirming that they will figure
out a way to escape from their cells.
One of the images shows Trace holding a blaster, next to what looks to be two other prisoners,
possibly suggesting that Trace will attempt to free all of the other prisoners before
leaving.
I can definitely see a situation where the group has a clear opportunity to escape, but
Trace holds them back in order to save the other prisoners.
This definitely would fit with the character of Trace and her line from the preview clip,
where she says that “it is something that her mother would do”.
We again see Ahsoka using the force in these preview images, which seems to be a recurring
theme throughout this arc.
I think the sisters will eventually figure out that Ahsoka was at one point a Jedi, by
the end of the storyline, possibly changing their view on Ahsoka and casting her away
for their own protection.
After that we see Ahsoka fighting hand to hand combat with three Pyke guards, followed
by the entire group smiling, telling that Ahsoka most likely got the upper hand on these
guards and that she may be very close to escape.
Finally, we see the entire group again locked up in the same cage as before, lending credence
to the fact that they ultimately fail in their attempt to escape, setting the stage for Anakin
to rescue them in the next episode.
Other than that, again, I don’t think there will be any connections to the siege of mandalore
just yet, but we’ll definitely see connective tissue between the next episode and the siege
of Mandalore arc.
So those are my predictions for the episode!
