*** Near the end of Season Three, Ahsoka lies to get onto a mission, claiming Plo authorised it. At the end of the arc, Anakin asks him if this is true and he lies on Ahsoka's behalf, claiming she's telling the truth. Apparently Anakin and Obi-Wan don't seem to mind the implication that Plo interferred with their mission without telling them, nor that he underminded Anakin's authority over his Padawan.

*** It's most likely that Ahsoka's status as a MarySue, CreatorsPet, TheWesley or whatever else basically [[DependingOnTheWriter depends on the writer]]. e.g: In the second to last story arc of season three, Ahsoka sneaks on to a mission which Anakin told her not to come on, lies about it, saying she was told to by Plo Koon, frequently brags throughout the mission about how useful she's being to the team and while she ultimately regrets her decision, she still gets away with he rlies scot free. However in the season three finale, she's represented as much more mature.

fix trope, unfortunate implications if for more general bad implications


* BrokenAesop: In the "Citadel" trilogy, Ahsoka sneaks in with the team against direct orders not to do so, then lies about it, insisting that another high-ranking Jedi authorized her to go. At the end even though she does confess her lie to a dying member of the team, Jedi High Council Member Plo Koon covers up for her, saying that he did indeed sent her on the mission. So not only does she face no punishment or any consequences at all for her actions and lie (which Jedi aren't supposed to do anyway), she has adults covering up for her before authority. Make sure you learned this week's lesson, kids!

** Hondo Ohnaka is starting to become one of these.
** The mercenary Embo from "Bounty Hunters" was a OneSceneWonder with acrobatics to make a Jedi jealous, a NiceHat that serves as a blaster-proof shield ''and'' as a PrecisionGuidedBoomerang. Despite being a relatively minor character in one of the less important episodes of the series, he's popular enough that he got his own action figure.
* FanDumb: In the tail end of the second season, Boba Fett shows up to wreak his vengeance on the Jedi with a team of bounty hunters. Still young at 12, his appearance continues the establishment of his presence in the prequel era begun in ''Attack of the Clones''. On theforce.net boards, his thread was filled with fierce flaming and heated back-and-forth exchange over the first image of him in the show, just released on the net. Several PAGES of posts were devoted to the fact that ''[[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking he was wearing a green shirt]]'', and how this was so very terrible since he had been wearing a blue one in ''Attack of the Clones'' a full year earlier in the canon. It turned out he was not even wearing a green shirt anyway, it was a poncho over a gray jumpsuit.

** The chase in "Lightsaber Lost." I'm not sure, it is either a parody of action/martial arts movies, or sadly a serious attempt at an exciting scene. This part must be seen to be believed. I hope to God it was a joke.
