309: Hunt for Ziro: Episode Guide

"Love comes in all shapes and sizes."

Preview: Cad Bane has broken Ziro the Hutt out of prison and the Hutt Council demands that Ziro tell them where he's hidden vital - and incriminating - information: a journal detailing the criminal activities of the five Hutt families. Ziro makes another daring escape with the help of his estranged (and strange) lover, Sy Snootles. Bane is back on the Hutt's trail -- but he's not the only one. The Jedi Obi-Wan Kenobi and Quinlan Vos need to find him too. A chase through the swamps of Nal Hutta leads the pursuers to Ziro's enormous mother, Mama the Hutt, who points them to the direction of Teth. It is here, in the secret grave of Ziro's father, that the fugitive Hutt has hidden the diary. When he retrieves it, Snooty reveals her true spots. She's a deadly woman scorned and a bounty hunter for hire. She kills Ziro, and returns the journal to her client: Jabba the Hutt.

Greatest Scene: When the Jedi attempt to arrest Cad Bane for his crimes but Bane pulls out his blasters and the showdown begins. When Bane losses his pistols he begins launching darts at Obi-Wan, then he steals Vos' lightsaber and has a short confrontation with Obi-Wan then when all else fails he uses his flame-thrower on the Jedi. After that Bane and Todo escape in their starfighter.

Secrets Revealed:

Quinlan Vos has a unique Force talent of psychometry- the ability to read impressions off of objects so he can see who had previously handled them. In this episode, he uses this ability to detect Ziro's presence from a discarded drinking vessel. In the script, he was to use it again while tracking down Ziro in the swamps of Nal Hutta.

The five Hutt family leaders are are Oruba, Marlo, Arok, Gorga and Jabba. As Jabba is not present on Nal Hutta, Gardulla serves as his representative. This was a change made relatively late in production. Jabba's protocol droid, TC-30, was changed to Gardulla's, MF-80.

This episode is the second time that Teth has been seen in The Clone Wars.

This episode is Quinlan Vos' first appearance not only in The Clone Wars but his first ever on screen appearance as well!
