The Jedi Council reacts to your message

The broadcast ends as the last thing they saw was Devon killing Jabba

Padme: This is not good

Mace Windu: That's an understatement, Jabba the Hutt is dead, the other Hutts will be coming for us

Ahsoka: Why would he make that message? Sith want to enslave everyone, why would he want to inspire other slaves to break free

Samara: Are you that naive? He needed to turn that red Twi'lek to the dark side

Ahsoka: He could have done that without broadcasting it

Obi-Wan: Then why would he do it, Ahsoka

Ahsoka: I don't know; that's why I'm asking

Anakin: To create chaos

Obi-Wan: Exactly

Ahsoka: But how would that help him

Aayla: Normal people don't know about Sith, so to them it will seem that a rogue Jedi convinced that slave to kill Jabba

Samara: And so we will be blamed for this, if not directly, then at least for allowing it to happen

Mace Windu: And so will the Hutts, as they will not believe that the Sith have returned

Ahsoka: How can they not

Padme: Because they still refuse to believe that Palpatine was Darth Sidious, even after all the evidence we showed them

Ahsoka: That's insane

Anakin: We know, Snips, but it's reality

Ahsoka: How can they not believe that we stopped Darth Sidious from executing his master plan and wiping out the Jedi

Padme: Because I'm married to a Jedi, I became Supreme Chancellor after we had defeated him. The Hutts and many others thought it was a power play so that the Jedi have more power in the Senate

Ahsoka: That's not true

Samara: The truth doesn't matter, it's what people think that matters. He's not sending out this message as a spark of hope for slaves, he's doing this to start a war between the Republic and the Hutt Empire

Anakin: Why do you think he wants to do that? snips

Ahsoka: We can't hunt him and deal with the Hutts at the same time

Obi-Wan: Exactly. He knows that he can't win against us in an open conflict, so that's what he's doing gaining strength, first with Belsavis and now this

Samara: And while we're busy dealing with the Hutts, he has free rein to expand his growing empire

Padme: Even if we stop this from becoming a war, it will become a conflict, unless we're able to deliver Jabba's killer to the Hutt clans

Aayla: How close is the Bad Batch to Tatooine

Padme: Let me check in on them

Padme opens another holocall and a clone answers

Clone: This is Commander Hunter of Clone Force 99. What can I help you with supreme cahcollor

Padme: Have you arrived on Tatooine yet

Hunter: We just arrived in the system, and we're bout to land on the planet

Padme: Make your way to Jabba's palace in haste, no one can escape

Hunter: It will be done, we don't fail

Padme: One more thing, there is a red Twi'lek inside that palace, she is Force-sensitive

Hunter: We'll be careful, Miss

Padme: I trust you will, but we need her alive, that's the only way we will stop this conflict with the Hutts

Hunter: It will be done, and the rest

Padme: Kill them if you can, but they are very dangerous, be careful

Hunter: Yes, Miss

Padme: May the Force be with you

The holocall ends

Padme: Now we wait

Ahsoka: You're sending him to his death

Anakin: These are normal clones; I've worked with them before. They are very skilled

Ahsoka: More skilled than Rex

Anakin: Let's hope so
