Indeed I do, have a bad feeling about this. First of all, my online life has been rather miserable over the past twelve months. Only thing I've been able to keep up was my work on FanFiction and even that came at a struggle. However, I am not here to discuss my woes, 'coz that's just boring. No, I'am here because of my bad feeling regarding the Clone Wars and Season Five's finale.
My Clone Wars reports have been ... absent to put it lightly, and I have not put much of my predictions up. I guess with the climax of the Ahsoka-the-Fugitive arc coming up, I'll start once again.
Before I start rambling, I have some strategic evidence to provide.
First is the "Who Will Fall" poster from Wookieepedia, with added "dead" tags to illustrate my point. Hondo, we've seen him in three different arcs, and with only one episode left, he's not gonna die. Embo, I really did not get what the fuss was about with him, but he is not gonna end up dead either. Ventress, she only got bonked on the head, and unless Anakin guts her in this week's episode, she's gonna stay alive. Likewise, Rex has survived for the entire series, and I really don't see him kicking the bucket, not unless they want to frame Ahsoka even more. Darth Maul, well, Sidious tortured him real good, and he wants him alive for something, which by the way isn't this arc, I'll get to that later. So only person in doubt, is Ahsoka Tano.
From a marketing standpoint, killing her will severely drop popularity among many audiences, seeing as how she grew on many of us. To be honest, when first I saw her in 'Cloak Of Darkness' (S01E09), I was not impressed. I did not like her personallity, and a was revolted by her outfit. In season three however, her character underwent severe changes, and the she became more ... relatable. Having her die would not make me cry, like so many sissies who I don't understand would, but it will be a loss for the series. And I believe that a great many level-headed fans will share my opinion.
Also, killing her will be crude I guess is the word. In Season One she nearly died of the Blue Shadow virus. In Season Two nearly got burried alive on Geonosis and then froze half to death on the medical frogate. In the third season she literally died and got ressurected. In S4 her head nearly rolled at the hands of Vizsla, so what I am trying to get at is she has escaped death on so many occassions it will seem cheap for her to go out that way. As to her falling to the Dark Side, she already has, on Mortis, so that plot point is used up. That leaves exile, or ignamy in the Temple.
With the plot to convict Ahsoka in full swing, it will be hard for her to muster an effective defence, especially in bias courts. A good lawer, like say Eramuth Bwa'tu from the FotJ series could pull the prececution's case to shreds, but with the Jedi High Council believing in her guilt, and Palpatine's involvement, she is not likely to get out intact. At the very worst, she's gonna get the death sentence, and Tarkin will try for that. The Clone Wars was once a kid's show, but these days it has gotten markedly more violent, so I have no problem invisioning them putting her infront of a firing squad. I really don't think theyll use a KillTab though.
The only way she is getting killed, is if her Master is away, or if she is completely helpless. She knows she is innocent, so she is not going down for someone else's crime.
I can imagine her being exiled from the Order, like Jedi Exile the Second or something, which would explain her absence in Revenge of the Sith.
She can be sent to prison, where either she escapes, someone (Anakin) helps her escape, or she is killed by the inmates, thus cutting one of Skywalker's attachments. I would say, it's an ingenius plot by Sidious.
As to her assailent, it is not, I repeat NOT Darth Maul. I freeze-framed the episode personally, and I looked at the legs. They are quite remenesent of female legs. Also, in I think 'slide 23' of "To Catch a Jedi Episode Gallery" on starwars.com it says plainly, "she"
My other theory is that the Clone Wars crew, or Dave Filoni, stumbled on some of the fanfictions about Ahsoka and Barriss, so feeling utterly disgusted, they made sure to destroy the problem at the core.
Whatever the case, the War is coming to an end, as evidenced by the presense of the buzz droids and the Eta-2 Actis-class light Interceptor (Jedi Episode III Starfighter) in "Sabotage". Loose ends need to be tied up, and various characters have to bite the bullet so to speak.
Anakin is getting darker and darker, look at his eyes in "The Jedi Who Knew Too Much" when he was refused entrance to Ahsoka's prison.
The best end for Ahsoka would be an exile, where she leaves alive, but on the off chance that she dies, I will not be all too sad, as in that case, people might stop writing rexsokas, luxsokas, anisokas, OCsokas and all that romance bantha poodoo.
Anyways, I am patiently awaiting the next episode, and will endavour to bring you a report that same day on what happened, and my thoughts on the matter.
In other news, check out my Picasa album with my fiction covers as well as the new look on my FF.N profile. Currently I have six hundred words to go with Young Jedi I: Beginner's Luck Chapter 8 and it will be posted within the week.
I am in the middle of reading Fate of the Jedi: Apocalypse so please expect a long rant and commentary on the series in the next fortnight. Back to fiction, I have several one-shots in the works, and I will be much abliged if you could go to either this poll, or the one on my FF.N profile and vote on what I should concentrate more.
With no further smart things to say, I'm signing off,
May the Non-Existant Force Be With You!

She uses the Force to throw debris at the Padawan, and nearly blinds her with a ruptured steam pipe.Yep, it was slide 23. We know it is not Ventress, as Asajj is having hallusinations in the allyway so it is another, unnamed female character. I actually believe that his unnamed figure is none other than one Barriss Offee. Yes, I know, shocking, but you see, she was nervous on the commlink, and deliberatelly asked Ahsoka to contact her via untraceable meens. Rings any bells? Yes they are supposed to be friends, but so were Anakin and Obi-Wan, and we all know how that turned out.
