Ep 9. Hunt for Ziro

Asajj Ventress has teamed up with the bounty hunter Cad Bane to retrieve a Hutt named Ziro. Ziro is currently in Republic custody, and his knowledge of Hutt criminal activity makes him a valuable target for Ventress and Bane's employers. The Republic assigns Jedi Padawan Ahsoka Tano to oversee Ziro's safekeeping and transport.

As the Republic prepares to move Ziro to a more secure location, Ventress and Bane launch a surprise attack on their transport. Despite several close calls and tense moments, the Republic forces manage to fend off the attackers and maintain control of Ziro. However, during the chaos of the battle, Ziro manages to escape from his cell.

With Ziro on the loose and both Ventress and Bane still on the hunt, the Republic dispatches two Jedi: Obi-Wan Kenobi and Quinlan Vos. Kenobi is familiar with the underworld and Hutt activity, while Vos has a reputation as a skilled and unorthodox Jedi.

The two Jedi track Ziro to his home planet of Nal Hutta, where they enlist the help of Ziro's former lover, the singer Sy Snootles. With Sy's assistance, they infiltrate Ziro's palace and confront him directly. However, they soon discover that they are not the only ones seeking Ziro - Ventress and Bane have also arrived on Nal Hutta and are closing in.

In a thrilling finale, the four parties clash in a chaotic battle that spans the palace and the surrounding swamps. The fate of Ziro, the Republic's mission, and the lives of all involved hang in the balance as the confrontation reaches its climax.

Hunt for Ziro is an action-packed episode that showcases the talents of several key characters in the Star Wars universe. Fans of Jedi battles, bounty hunters, and Hutt politics will find plenty to enjoy in this exciting entry in the Clone Wars series.
