Star Wars Adventures: Forces of Destiny - Ahsoka & Padme

The fourth Forces of Destiny one-shot published in January 2018 stars Ahsoka Tano and Padme Amidala.  The comic expands on the scene in the season 1, episode 6 Forces of Destiny short The Imposter Inside.  The comic starts prior to the events in the animated short with Ahsoka Tano having a lightsaber training session with Barriss Offee which leaves her questioning if she is good enough.  While meditating on this question in her quarters at the Jedi Temple, Padme Amidala arrives and asks Ahsoka to help her with security at a dinner party she is holding for an Arthurian delegation meant to persuade them to join the Republic.  Ahsoka hesitantly agrees as she reflects back on the conversation she had with Barriss who told Ahsoka "training sessions are about preparing us for the real world and the real battles we must face."  Back at Padme's place, Padme instructs her handmaidens on Arthurian culture including the fact utensils are insulting to them.  Preparations for the dinner are underway and the comic catches up to the events from the animate short as Ahsoka tells Padme the security looks good when she notices the table was set with utensils.  Padme confronts a handmaiden who is attempting to leave the room and the handmaiden turns and fires on Ahsoka and Padme.  Ahsoka quickly disarms the handmaiden who is really a shape-shifting Crawdite.  The Crawdite triggers a bomb that Ahsoka sends out the window of the room and Padme knocks the Crawdite unconscious.  Ahsoka and Padme reflect on each others similarities to Anakin Skywalker as Ahsoka realizes she is good enough.
