Episode 10 The
Phantom Apprentice
Ahsoka faces off
against Maul, who mentions Darth Sidious, before escaping. Ahsoka relays this
to Obi-Wan, who says he had inferred from Count Dooku that Sidious is the Sith
lord who orchestrated the Clone Wars. However, Dooku is no longer a reliable
source due to having been killed by Anakin during their mission to save
Palpatine, and neither him or Obi-Wan can come to assist Ahsoka, as Anakin has
been assigned to spy on Palpatine and learn his true intentions, wheras Obi-Wan
has been sent to Utapau to find General Grievous. After Almec is assassinated
by Saxon before he can relay information to the enemy, Bo-Katan helps Rex's
team fight him and his Mandalorians. At the same time, Ahsoka confronts Maul
again, who reveals he engineered this conflict to lure Obi-Wan and Anakin to
him, in order to kill the latter, because Sidious intends to convert Anakin to
the Dark Side. Ahsoka and Maul then duel above the city and Ahsoka emerges
victorious, saving Maul from falling to his death and having him captured by
the clone troopers.
