Star Wars the Clone Wars Season 7 Episode 10 Spoiler Filled Breakdown and Review


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.
