Calm before the storm! A rare andwelcome respite from endless battleawaits Jedi Knights Anakin Skywalkerand Mace Windu as they travel throughdeep space aboard the Jedi cruiserEndurance. Preparing to rendezvouswith a Republic frigate, the Jedi remainunaware of a deadly peril lying hiddenin their midst.... |
Asquad of chronologically six year oldclones are briefed by a more experiencedtrooper en route on their journey to theStar DestroyerEndurance. Afterward, several of the clones (each with different haircuts) tease their newest member, a young recruit who calls himself "Lucky" (actuallyBoba Fett), before being reprimanded by another clone who appears to be the group's leader.
Upon arrival, the young soldiers are greeted byJedi GeneralsMace Windu andAnakin Skywalker. Subsequently, the clones are given opportunities to demonstrate their training through target practice using explosiveskeet; the first two cadets miss their target. WhenadmiralKilian notices the look in Boba's eyes, he orders him onto the turret. The clone gunner deploys one explosive skeet, who Boba destroys with precise accuracy. The clone gunner believes that he got lucky, and sends out three skeets in Separatist attack formation; Boba destroys all three, surprising the gunner. As the cadets leave for the observation deck, Kilian expresses his admiration for Boba's talents to the gunner.
Resuming their tour of the ship, Boba quickly strays away from his group and manages to bluff his way into Mace Windu's quarters where he stealthily installs a bomb triggered by stepping through alaser in the doorway. As Mace enters his quarters, he is soon called off for another meeting and instead orders a clone to go inside to drop something off for him. The clone sets off the trap, killing him.
The entire ship is placed under alert and as a result, Boba is instructed viacomlink to sabotage the reactor core and thus kill everyone, although he exhibits some hesitation. Boba then once again sneaks away from his group but ends up being caught by an unsuspecting trooper who decides to call for security. After a brief scuffle, Boba managed to defeat the trooper in a brawl. He overpowered the clone andstunned the clone with his ownblaster and shoots the core command console. Much of the hull is immediately destroyed in an explosion and theJedi are almost sucked into space before the gaping holes are sealed off. Realizing thatEndurance is critically damaged beyond repair, the Jedi and most of the surviving crew then choose to abandon ship. However, Kilian stubbornly refuses and stays onboard along withPonds. The young clones, including Boba, are then jettisoned in anescape pod. Boba sabotages the pod he is in, causing it to drift off away from the others.
Eventually the pod is discovered bySlave I, withAurra Sing andBossk aboard. Boba is revealed to be responsible for the destruction of theEndurance and is given the choice by Sing to go with the clones or go with them. Boba sides with the bounty hunters, muttering an apology to the cadets;Jax states that he'll regret it. As Boba enters theSlave I, Aurra releases the pod into space. Mere seconds afterSlave I leaves, Anakin and Mace arrive to find the cadets unharmed. Meanwhile, Admiral Kilian attempts to land the badly damagedEndurance upon the surface of the nearbyplanetVanqor.
Continuity[]
In the scene where Boba Fett gets caught infiltrating theEndurance's engine room, he asks if the clone trooper is holding aDC-15A, to which the trooper replies in the affirmative. However, the blaster was aDC-15S. This contradiction was removed when the designation DC-15S was put into the Legends continuity in 2014.
When Commander Ponds tells another trooper that he's staying onboard theEndurance with Admiral Kilian, hiskama andblaster pistols are missing.
When "Death Trap" was aired in Australia on June 9, 2011, the scene where aclone trooper is blown up enteringMace Windu's quarters and the scene where Boba hits a clone trooper with aDC-15A blaster carbine were cut out of the episode. This could have been for rating reasons, or because of a technical issue.
