10 Best Star Wars: The Clone Wars Episodes

10. The Jedi Who Knew Too Much

The Jedi Who Knew Too Much, the second episode in the final story arc to air on Cartoon Network, follows Ahsoka as an unknown antagonist pins the recent Jedi Temple bombings on her. She hides in the Coruscant underground, and, in a climax straight from the film The Fugitive, meets Anakin while standing in the middle of a giant pipe. She insists to him that she is innocent before jumping down to evade capture.

This fast-paced, adrenaline-filled episode works, not only for the excitement, but also for the plot escalation. The previous episode, Sabotage, ends with the capture of Letta Turmond, believed to be the sole conspirator behind the bombing. When she tells Ahsoka that a Jedi gave her the idea, and when that Jedi murders Letta while framing Ahsoka, the stakes become even higher.

This is also the first episode to see Ahsoka move away from the Jedi Order. Two episodes later, in The Wrong Jedi, she leaves the Order for good, but The Jedi Who Knew Too Much establishes what she can do on her own. The badass Fulcrum Ahsoka we see in Star Wars: Rebels would not be possible without her developments in this episode.
