Ep 17. Sabotage

In Star Wars: The Clone Wars season 5 episode 17 titled "Sabotage," the Jedi Temple on Coruscant is attacked and a Jedi who was working on a top-secret project is killed. An investigation is launched and the perpetrator is believed to be a rogue Jedi. However, as evidence is collected and interrogations are conducted, it becomes clear that there may be more to the situation than initially thought.

The focus of the episode is on Anakin Skywalker and his Padawan Ahsoka Tano as they work alongside Jedi Master Plo Koon and Captain Rex to track down the culprit. As they search for leads, they begin to uncover a trail of evidence that suggests sabotage is the real cause of the explosion at the temple, rather than the work of a rogue Jedi. In addition, the team discovers a plot to undermine the Republic that may be tied to the attack.

As the investigation continues, Anakin and Ahsoka become increasingly convinced that their friend and former colleague Barriss Offee may be involved. Barriss, who had been disillusioned by the war and the Jedi Order, had recently left the Temple. However, before they can confront her, she attacks them and flees.

Additionally, there is commentary on the morality of war and how the tension and stress of fighting for years on end can have a lasting impact on one's psyche.

Overall, "Sabotage" is a thrilling episode that keeps viewers on the edge of their seats from start to finish. The investigation is well-paced and the twists and turns keep the story interesting.
