10 Best Star Wars: The Clone Wars Episodes

9. Wookiee Hunt

Wookiee Hunt, the second episode of a two part story arc, follows Ahsoka and some other Padawans who have been captured by Trandoshans and placed in the hunting ground planet Island Four. To escape, they team up with the newest prisoner, a familiar Wookiee named Chewbacca. When they finally escape Island Four, Ahsoka and Anakin share a tender moment, where she tells him she was only able to survive because of his teachings.

Along with the previous episode, Padawan Lost, Wookiee Hunt makes it feel like any character, save Chewbacca, could die. With Kalifa, the Padawan's leader, dying at the end of Padawan Lost, Wookiee Hunt could kill off any one of them at any moment.

Unlike Padawan Lost, in which the Padawans helplessly run from the Trandoshans, Wookiee Hunt shows Ahsoka lead her new friends in a fight against their captors. While the danger remains, the characters take their fate into their own hands, and watching them kill the Trandoshan hunters is so satisfying.

Plus, who doesn't love an appearance by Chewie?
