3 Ups & 3 Downs From Star Wars: Clone Wars 7.5 - Gone With A Trace

6. Down - Bike Crash

The episode starts with Ashoka calmly riding her speeder bike throughout Coruscant. Out of nowhere, it starts to spark, and flips her upside down. She desperately tries to hold on to the bike, accidentally running on top of other people's vehicles, eventually crashing in Trace's workshop.

The bike crash felt very slapstick and silly. It didn't work as either an action piece or a joke.

Additionally, Ashoka's bike's randomly malfunctioning is a contrived way to start off the episode. It's a huge coincidence that her bike would suddenly stop working and that she would crash right by someone who could help her fix it. It would have been much more exciting to see the episode start with Ashoka running from a real threat, like people who would turn her in to the Jedi, rather than a malfunctioning speeder bike.
