307: Assassin: Episode Guide

"The future has many paths - choose wisely."

Preview: Tasked to protect Senator Padmé Amidala during a political mission to Alderaan, Padawan Ahsoka Tano is plagued by recurring visions of recently-deceased bounty hunter, Aurra Sing. Unable to clear her mind, Ahsoka worries that the stress of conflict is finally getting to her until her visions indeed prove prophetic. Padmé narrowly avoids death when Aurra Sing attempts to assassinate her. Together, Padmé and Ahsoka trap the hunter, and Ahsoka discovers the true villain behind the plot to kill Padmé: the incarcerated gangster, Ziro the Hutt.

Greatest Scene: When Aurra Sing finds Padmé in her room and almost succeeds in assassinating the senator but Ahsoka jumps in and save her but after a short confrontation a shot gets through and Ahsoka gets shot in the arm. With nothing in her way Aurra is about to kill Padmé but the senator fights back and stuns the assassin.

Memorable Quotes:
"I've been having dreams, bad dreams." Ahsoka
"She will die and there nothing you can do." Aurra Sing
"Well then, at least we still have a fighting chance." Padmé Amidala
"Always in motion is the future and many possible future there are." Yoda

Secrets Revealed:
The visions that Ahsoka has feature the same distorted effect as Anakin's visions in Star Wars: Episode III Revenge of the Sith.
At one point in early story development, Ahsoka visited Boba Fett in jail to ask for details about Aurra Sing.
This the second time that Alderaan has been seen on screen. The first being in Episode III Revenge of the Sith.
This episode, more than others, reveals the convoluted chronology of stories from the first two seasons. The Season Two finale, 'Lethal Trackdown', actually takes place before the Season One finale, 'Hostage Crisis'. 

Next Episode: Evil Plans
