Line 158:
** Ahsoka. Some characters have called attention to it, but nobody really sees a problem with sending a fourteen-year-old into fatal situations when, by the very definition of being a Padawan, she has not yet even completed her training. This is especially evident in the early episodes, when Ahsoka would become depressed and self-critical after a defeat, showing that she is unable to cope with the emotional toll of warfare. After the short timeskip, the older Ahsoka instead seems to be more annoyed that Anakin has apparently realized this himself, and is holding her back from the more dangerous missions.
** In "Arc Troopers," during a Separatist invasion of Kamino several troopers wind up in the barracks for the still-children clones undergoing basic training. The cadets are armed and brought into the fight as part of a trap set for the droids sent to kill them and the other clones still being trained.
* [[Click. "Hello."]]: "Roger, Roger." BLAM.
* [[Clones Are People, Too]]: The series has several episodes which highlight [[We Have Reserves|the casual way that clones are discarded]], but it comes to a head in the Umbara arc. The clones begin to resist after they [[General Failure|continuosly receive horrible and incompetent orders]], demanding that their lives not just be ''wasted''. They ultimately [[Mistreatment-Induced Betrayal|turn on their leader]] claiming that they ae not [[What Measure Is a Non-Human?|droids]], but ''men.''
* [[Cloning Blues]]:
Line 166:
** Aurra Sing in "Hostage Crisis".
** An unnamed Mandalorian warrior in "Duchess of Mandalore".
* [[ColourColor-Coded for Your Convenience]]:
** The clones' uniforms tell who they serve under. Blue for members of the 501st, which can usually be seen along side Anakin, and orange for the 212th attack battalion which is under Obi-Wan's command. [[Law of Chromatic Superiority|Red is for those stationed on Coruscant.]]
** In ''The Carnage of Krell'', the Clone Troopers are members of the 501st and thus wear blue, and the enemy Umbarans wearing stolen uniforms wear yellow. {{spoiler|Except the "enemies" are clone troopers as well, and ''both'' sides have been told the other were impersonators [[The Uriah Gambit|so they would wipe each other out.]]}}
Line 264:
** Once {{spoiler|General Krell}} admits that he is a traitor, he laughs deeply in ''every following conversation''.
* [[Evil Sounds Deep]]: Savage Opress gets a deeper voice after the Nightsisters take control of him with their magic. Being voiced by [[Clancy Brown]] helps too.
* [[Evil Versus Evil]]: Count Dooku has to betray Asajj Ventress at Sidious' request, nearly resulting in her death. Asajj seeks shelter with the Nightsisters of Dathomir and begins plotting her revenge against Dooku. To this end she and the other Nightsisters [[Training Fromfrom Hell|train]] one of the subjugated males on their planet, Savage Opress, to become a Force-using killer. Once this is done Mother Talzin, leader of the Nightsisters, offers Savage to Count Dooku as his new apprentice. The plan is for Savage to work his way into Dooku's confidence, learn to become even deadlier under the Sith Lord's tutelage, and finally murder him when the time is right. Opress ''does'' betray Dooku eventually, but fails to kill him. A frustrated Ventress turns on Opress because she believes he is too weak, resulting in Opress [[The Dog Bites Back|attacking her]]. A lightsaber duel with all three of them trying to kill one another ensues, amazingly with none of the three dying. Talzin helps Opress go into hiding to avoid Separatist retribution, and then welcomes Ventress back, convincing her to forget about Dooku and begin a new life on Dathomir as a full-fledged Nightsister. Just when it seems like this conflict has finally ended and Ventress is becoming happy with her new family, Dooku orders Generel Grievous to attack Dathomir and wipe out all of the Nightsisters for not only supporting Ventress, but sending Savage Opress to kill him. Grievous succeeds, leaving Ventress distraught and more than likely wanting to go after Dooku once more...
* [[Exactly What I Aimed At]]: In a fight with Pre Viszla, Ahsoka slashes his jetpack. He commends her on the close call, only for her to explain that she didn't miss. He quickly realizes that his jetpack is about to explode and ditches it.
* [[Executive Meddling]]:
Line 642:
** A clone in a gunship flying through flak during the Second battle of Geonosis: "Good thing those bugs can't aim!"
** TX-20 may want to run those figures again...
{{quote|'''TX-20:''' Their chances of success against us are [[If My Calculations Are Correct|742 to 1]].
'''Wat Tambor:''' You had better be right!
'''TX-20:''' I am a droid. [[Smug Snake|I am always right.]] }}
* [[Terrifying Rescuer]]: Obi-wan scares the crap out of an alien he's trying to rescue from slave traders, because he's disguised as one of them.
Line 705:
* [[You Are Number Six]]: General Krell makes a deliberate point of referring to every clone trooper by their identification number instead of by the nicknames that they have been given by fellow clones. He does refer to Sergeant Appo by his nickname, and even uses Rex's name at one point, so it seems that using the identification numbers is something he only does [[Full Name Ultimatum|when he is mad at the clone in question]] or [[Tyrant Takes the Helm|when he is proving a point]]. Which is most of the time.
* [[You Fool!]]: At the conclusion of Umbara arc, {{spoiler|General Krell}} decrees that Dogma was "the biggest fool of all."
* [[You Have Failed Me...]]:
** Grievous, frequently, but it helps that he does this to droids. One episode had a droid continually irritating him, [[Trailers Always Spoil|and any viewer who saw the trailer]] was wondering when he would get his head smacked off.
** In a more brutal example, the leader of Death Watch casually kills one of his men for failing to kill Obi-Wan.
Line 719:
** Boba Fett's quest for revenge against Mace Windu for killing his father/genetic template Jango in ''[[Attack of the Clones]]''.
** "Padawan Lost" features a father determined to avenge the death of his son.
* [[Young and Inin Charge]]: Boba Fett is seen several times leading (or trying to lead) groups of bounty hunters far older and more experienced than he is.
* [[You Remind Me of X]]:
** At the conclusion of "Arc Troopers," Commander Cody and Captain Rex congratulate Echo and Fives on their performance during the battle. Rex explains that they showed valor and real courage, and then says that they reminded him of himself.
