Star Wars: Clone Wars Season 5 - Who Will Fall?

Pre Vizsla

Who Is He: Leader of the Death Watch, a group of Mandalorian terrorists determined to restore the Mandalorians to their forgotten warmongering way of life. Why We Think He€™ll Die: He€™s just too much of a villain not to kill. When someone burns down a village for the hell of it, there€™ no chance of redemption there. Also, he€™s teaming up with Darth Maul. And making a bargain with a Sith Lord is the equivalent of painting a bullseye on your face. Just ask any of the Imperial Officers who served under Darth Vader. Why We Don€™t Think He€™ll Die: There€™s still some mileage in his character and he€™s definitely got the fighting skills and resources to survive tangling with Maul. How We Think He€™ll Die: He will eventually outlive his usefulness and Darth Maul will kill him. Other candidates for his executioner in my opinion are Satine Kryze and Obi-Wan Kenobi.

Hondo Ohnaka

Who Is He: A wisecracking Weequay pirate with dreadlocks, an Electro-Staff, and a fondness for betrayal and making money no matter how he has to kill. Why We Think He€™ll Die: At this point he€™s just got on the wrong side of too many people to stay alive for much longer. He€™s taken Anakin Skywalker, Obi-Wan Kenobi, Count Dooku and Ahsoka Tano hostage, smuggled arms for the rebel forces on Onderon, attempted to raid a Jedi ship and kill the children aboard, and attacked Darth Maul. A move which will surely come back to haunt him. Why We Don€™t Think He€™ll Die: He€™s a popular and amusing character with some great voice work by veteran voice actor Jim Cummings. Also, the Republic occasionally finds him useful and therefore turn a blind eye to his dealings sometimes. How We Think He€™ll Die: The final episode of the season€™s four episode Young Jedi arc (of which episode three is scheduled to air on Saturday) features Hondo€™s base being attacked by General Grievous. Going up against Darth Maul is foolhardy. Going up against Grievous is damn near suicidal. Either that or the Jed will finally think €œSod this€ and have him killed.
