Star Wars The Clone Wars Season 7 Episode 8 “TOGETHER AGAIN” has finally released
on Disney+.
After exploring Ahsoka’s journey in the criminal underworld, away from the Jedi Order
and her master Anakin Skywalker, we’ve now finally reached the conclusion of the Ahsoka
alone arc, in the lead up to the highly anticipated Siege of Mandalore arc!
So before we dive straight into every detail of the episode, remember to hit the subscribe

Wars Season 7 episode!
The episode begins right where we left off last time, with Ahsoka and the Martez sisters
stuck in the same Pyke prison cell as before.
The group discuss potential methods for conning the Pykes into releasing from the prison,
but Ahsoka wants to take a more realistic approach to the situation.
Raffa again shows her distrust for Ahsoka, blaming her for the dumping of the spice.
This causes an argument between the group, where Trace surprisingly chooses to side with
Ahsoka over her own sister.
It’s clear that Ahsoka has gained the full trust of Trace at this point, but is still
on rocky terms with Raffa.
After a lot more bickering between the sisters, Ahsoka comes up with a solution to get the
group out of their prison cell.
Raffa of course is distrustful of Ahsoka’s plan, but she reassures the sisters that trust
is essential if they want to escape.
Next the group is removed from their cell, and brought face to face with leader of the
Pykes, Marg Krim.
He demands that the group pay their debt for the failed spice mission, and threatens to
kill Trace and Raffa if they are unable to pay.
Ahsoka comes up with a brilliant plan, telling Marg Krim that the sisters had hidden the
spice offworld for their own profit.
She then deceptively tells Krim that he should give the sisters 1 rotation to relocate the
spice and return it to the Pykes, telling him that she will hand over the location of
their families if they do not return.
This of course is very smart of Ahsoka, as the parents of Trace and Raffa were revealed
to have been killed by Jedi Master Luminara Unduli in the last episode.
Krim agrees to the deal, and further threatens to torture and kill Ahsoka should they fail
to return.
As the group is escorted away by the Pyke guards, Marg Krim and his second in command
Fife realise that this is an obvious deception.
He reveals that his life is in just as much danger as the Ahsoka and the sisters, because
he reports to a mysterious figure you have definitely heard of, even higher than him…
I’ll break down the identity of this mysterious figure very shortly, but many of you would
already know who I’m referring to.
Krim is clearly scared of this mysterious figure as he is always watching the activities
of the criminal syndicates.
As the sisters leave the planet, we cut back to the cloaked Mandalorians from last episode,
which as we know, are Ursa Wren and Bo-Katan Kryze.
They note that Ahsoka did not show up in their scans of the ship that left the planet, and
move their surveillance to the prison facility where Ahsoka is currently being held.
Bo Katan splits off from the group to specifically seek out and find Ahsoka.
Following that, we again see Ahsoka use the force to unlock her prison cell door, and
sneakily make her way outside of the prison area.
We then see a shocking reversal of roles, with Raffa now being fully onboard with Ahsoka’s
plan because she realises that sacrifices as big as Ahsoka’s just was, are very rare
among the underworld.
Trace on the other hand is sceptical of the plan, and doubts Ahsoka will be able to pull
it off.
The sisters agree to return and rescue Ahsoka because of her great sacrifice.
We then cut back to Ahsoka, sneaking around the Pyke spice production facilities, where
she eventually comes across a weapons supply room, before gearing up with a grenade belt.
I’ve gotta say, this was a really cool part of the episode, and I did love to see that.
The Martez sisters then begin their plan, where they will steal another shipment of
spice, to make up for the previous lost shipment, and rescue Ahsoka.
Once they arrive back on Obah Diah, they force the dock foreman to load their ship with spice
intended for other customers.
I have no idea what species these guys are, but they look so cool, so let me know down
in the comments who you think they are!
We then cut back to Ahsoka who is sneaking around the production facilities of Obah Diah,
where she stumbles upon Marg Krim speaking to a hologram.
If you remember the mysterious high up figure I mentioned before, this is Darth Maul.
If you’ve seen the previous seasons of the clone wars, you’ll know how he became the
leader of a large collective of criminal syndicates in the galaxy, but if you haven’t, remember
to subscribe to the channel as I will be releasing a video on that very shortly.
Krim tells Maul that his shipments have recently been getting intercepted by republic patrols,
and Maul questions whether or not Jedi are involved in the missions.
After Krim tells Maul that none of his men survived the encounter, he quickly realises
that the Jedi were in fact involved.
Maul notices Ahsoka in the corner of the hologram, but is unable to identify her before quickly
ending the hologram.
Before he leaves, he mentions that Crimson Dawn will not accept their incompetence any
longer.
This scene is great because we get a huge reference to Solo: A Star Wars Story, and
we get some foreshadowing of Fife taking over the Pyke syndicate in the Son of Dathomir
comics, which I will be covering in the next few days.
News of Ahsoka’s escape reaches Krim, leading them to evacuate the room and allowing Ahsoka
to enter their command centre.
Ahsoka then finds out that Maul’s transmission is coming from Mandalore, much to her surprise.
Ahsoka is quickly surrounded by the Pyke guards, and initially puts up a great fight before
being surrounded once again.
Krim sees Ahsoka use a force push on his guards, causing him to wrongly assume that she is
a Jedi.
Ahsoka is then stunned, but not before she was able to place explosive charges within
their command centre and around their factories.
We then get a really funny moment between the Dock foreman and the sisters, as he calls
his manager out to figure out who the sisters really are.
The group begin fighting, and we get some really funny lines from everyone here.
The fight eventually comes down to Raffa and the dock manager, moving to a conveyor belt
suspended very high above the ground.
Raffa of course comes out on top, sending the manager plunging to his death!
Following that, Ahsoka is on the verge of execution at the hands of the Pykes, but they
are quickly interrupted by the return of the sisters.
Marg Krim then reveals the truth about Ahsoka’s Jedi past to the sisters, who are disappointed
that she kept the truth from them.
Ahsoka understandably did not want to tell them about her past, after hearing the story
about the death of their parents.
They have no time to argue though, as the explosives planet by Ahsoka previously begin
to detonate, allowing their escape.
The group quickly move to their ship to begin their retreat.
They are tailed by two Pyke fighters, but Ahsoka and the group are able to shoot them
down.
Trace then really comes into her own as the captain of the Silver Angel, making a risky
maneuver to escape the Pykes.
The move was successful, but it did frighten Ahsoka and Raffa.
While making their escape, we get confirmation that the night owls have witnessed the chase
and confirmed Ahsoka’s presence on the ship.
The sisters then question why Ahsoka left the order.
She remarks that it was complicated, which we know, it really was.
The sisters remark that Ahsoka is more like how they expect Jedi to act, rather than the
way Luminara Unduli acted towards them after the death of their parents.
Their converstations are quickly interrupted by Bo Katan and her nite owls, who have tracked
them down to Coruscant.
Bo Katan takes off her helmet and informs Ahsoka that they now have a common enemy,
Maul.
She asks for Ahsoka’s help, and gives her only 5 minutes to decide whether or not to
join them.
She is afraid that joining Bo Katan in hunting Maul, may lead her back to her life in the
Jedi, but ultimately agrees to join them, and boards their ship.
The episode then ends with Ahsoka saying her final goodbyes to the sisters, before finally
jetting off with the Mandalorians in what is sure to lead into the siege of Mandalore.
That marks the end of the Ahsoka alone arc and really ties into the Siege of Mandalore
with everything wrapped up very nicely from this point.
The episode confirms that Ahsoka and Bo-Katan work together in overthrowing Maul through
his time as ruler of Mandalore, even before the Siege begins.
So great to hear the name Crimson Dawn dropped in the episode, after getting a comprehensive
backstory for the syndicate in the Solo movie.
