9. Season 5, episode 19 – “To Catch A Jedi”

Landing at number 9 on our list is the suspense-filled “To Catch A Jedi” from season 5. Now, some might ask, “Why not higher up?” Well, while this episode masterfully pushes the boundaries of tension and drama, it’s up against some heavyweights from the series.

Ahsoka’s journey, wrongfully accused and on the run, is a narrative gem, highlighting her resilience, resourcefulness, and the gray areas of trust and betrayal within the galactic framework. The dimly lit underworld of Coruscant, coupled with her unlikely alliance with the ever-so-amazing Asajj Ventress, paints a moody and atmospheric setting that’s a visual treat.

Ahsoka and Asajj working together – what’s not to like? What a treat!

However, while “To Catch A Jedi” is undeniably gripping, it sits at the ninth spot because the episodes preceding it on this list edge it out in terms of overall impact, character development, or sheer epic scale. But let’s not diminish its brilliance: this episode serves as a huge turning point for Ahsoka and the development point for the recent Disney+ series, Ahsoka, shaping her future decisions and relationship with the Jedi Order. It’s a testament to the strength of this series that an episode as outstanding as this one is only on the ninth spot.
