'Star Wars: The Clone Wars' Season 7 Episode 7 Preview: Ahsoka, Rafa and Trace attempt to escape the Pykes
Ashoka Tano (Ashley Eckstein), Rafa Marteze (Elizabeth Rodriguez) and Trace Martez (Brigitte Kali Canales) got themselves into quite a fix last episode, attempting to cheat the Pykes in what ought to have been a routine delivery of spice from Kessel. They almost got away with it, too, but a distrustful Pyke checked the delivery crates before they could leave, and the Pykes trapped the Silver Angel in a tractor beam.
Now imprisoned, Ashoka, Rafa and Trace need to find a way to escape. They're facing life imprisonment or worse, no life at all, as the Pykes are not merciful. According to the official synopsis released by the 'Star Wars' website, "After being imprisoned by the Pykes, Ahsoka Tano and the Martez sisters manage a daring escape of their stronghold. Together they flee through the city to their ship, desperate to evade the Pyke forces in pursuit in “Dangerous Debt,” an all-new episode of Star Wars: The Clone Wars this Friday, April 3 rd on Disney+."
The site also released a trailer for the upcoming episode, which sees Trace tell Ahsoka what life is really like on lower Coruscant, and how Rafa wasn't exaggerating when she said how tough life could be there. It's an important lesson that Ahsoka has not yet seemed to learn that her high moral standards aren't applicable in all situations, at least, not as far as life and death are concerned with people who don't have enough power to make real change. In the meanwhile, the Pykes take Trace away whether for interrogation or torture is unclear, but it looks like it's up to Ahsoka and Rafa to work together to save Trace. Ahsoka and Rafa may have their differences, but their need to protect Trace is one of the things they can both agree on and is hopefully the basis of them working together.
You can take a look at a clip from the episode here:
Ahsoka has still, of course, not revealed to either sister that she's a Jedi, with all the powers that come with. However, given the dangers of escaping from the Pykes, it might not be something she is entirely able to avoid.
The next episode of 'Star Wars: The Clone Wars' airs on April 3
