A key Star Wars scene from Attack of the Clones likely set up Ahsoka Tano's darkest Jedi Trial. As seen at the end of the Clone Wars, Anakin Skywalker's apprentice was wrongly accused of bombing the Jedi Temple. However, the true culprit was eventually revealed, and their fall to the dark side likely began before the Clone Wars had even begun.
After the Jed Council tried Ahsoka Tano for the bombing of the Jedi Temple, Ahsoka was forced to escape custody to clear her own name with help from her master who refused to give up on her. Ultimately, Jedi Knight and Ahsoka's friend Barriss Offee was revealed as the true bomber, having become disillusioned by the Jedi's role in the Clone Wars which led to her secret fall to the dark side. To that end, a key scene from Attack of the Clones may have shown the origins of Barriss' darkness and the start of her frustrations with the Jedi Order itself.
