{{quote|'''Scorch:''' ''"Would you like a ''large'' or a ''small'' crater, Boss?"''<br />

* [[Fictionary]]: The [[Ominous Latin Chanting|ominous singing]] heard in the menu and at various points of the game is sung in the fictional Mandalorian language, created by the game's composer Jesse Harlin and further developed by Karen Traviss in her ''Republic Commando'' novels.

* [[First Person Ghost]]: Like many other games, you are unable to see your torso or legs using the standard first-person view. The player is capable of seeing Boss in third-person by using the "behindview" command, but the armor on this representation of Boss lacks the orange paint job, instead settling on plain commando armor.

* [[Force Field Door]]: These are present primarily during the factory levels on Geonosis.

* [[Four-Temperament Ensemble]]: The four Clone Commandos of [[The Squad|Delta Squad]] are this. Delta-38, "Boss", is choleric, showing good leadership instincts. Delta-40, "Fixer", is phlegmatic, being, as Taun We put it, "A pure and uncomplicated soldier." Delta-62, "Scorch", is blood, showing much enjoyment in [[Stuff Blowing Up|blowing the CIS forces apart]]. Delta-07, "Sev", is melancholic, being the [[Cold Sniper]] of the group and showing great care to place each round for maximum efficiency.

* [[Ghost Ship]]: The "Prosecutor".

* [[Giant Mook]]: Super Battle Droids and Trandoshan Heavy Assault Mercenaries. Super Battle Droids are 8 feet tall, can withstand about 150 blaster bolts or 4 thermal detonators before falling, and are equipped with a combination blaster/ rocket launcher arm cannon. Heavy Trandos are ''even tougher'' than Super Battle Droids, and carry a very powerful minigun that can cut you down in less than a second. The anti-armor rifle mod kills them both very quickly, though.

* [[Heroic Sociopath]]: Sev, oh yes Sev.

{{quote| '''Sev:''' Come out, come out... so I can kill you all.}}

* [[I Can't Use These Things Together]]: Usually happens when the plot separates Boss from the rest of the squad.

* [[Imperial Stormtrooper Marksmanship Academy]]:

* [[Large Ham]]: The Trandoshan Heavy Assault Mercenaries. Oddly enough, this is telegraphed by the subtitles designating them as "Trando HAMs."

* [[Leet Lingo]]: Scorch will occasionally say "No one can match my l33t hax0r skillz!" when ordered to slice a computer terminal. [http://www.clonecommandos.net/misc/l33thax0r.jpg Yes. He really does.]

** This is done once at the beginning and then about two-thirds of the way through the Geonosis campaign.

** Then once again when Delta Squad boards the "Prosecutor" separately, with rather adverse results, but they once again team up and complete their mission.

* [[Shoot the Fuel Tank]]: For reasons that are left unexplained, Trandoshan mercenaries have fuel canisters strapped to their back. Hitting these canisters with any of your weapons will cause them to explode, killing the mercenary and propelling him upwards.

{{quote| '''Sev:''' Flying is easy, landing is hard.}}

{{quote| '''Sev:''' [[Predator|We ain't got time to bleed, sir.]]}}

 

* [[Vitriolic Best Buds]]: Sev and Scorch are Type 2 (if the whole squad didn't already count).

* [[What the Hell, Player?]]: A player ordering a squadmate to do something and then ordering them to do something else or rescinding the order shortly thereafter, blocking a commando's line of fire, getting in his way or simply managing to blow himself up will typically earn him mildly disparaging comments from his squadmates. Canceling an order to have Scorch heal at a bacta tank can cause him to call Boss a sadist.

{{quote| Misfire? MISFIRE! WHO PACKED THAT CHARGE?!}}

* [[Wire Dilemma]]: Played for laughs occasionally when Scorch is arming a charge.
