| Star Wars: Clone Wars | comment |
Star Wars: Clone Wars is an Animated Adaptation Microseries, written and directed by Genndy Tartakovsky, and produced by Cartoon Network. Airing from 2003 to 2005, Clone Wars is set in the Star Wars Legends universe, between the events of Attack of the Clones and Revenge of the Sith. Whereas the Prequel Trilogy teases us with the beginning and end of the Clone Wars, this miniseries puts the "Wars" back in Star Wars and actually shows the meat of that galaxy-spanning conflict.It is not to be confused with the CG film and TV series Star Wars: The Clone Wars. It could be considered a spiritual pilot for that series, and the two share a few voice actors, but don't have any of the same writers.The first volume of the series (Seasons 1 and 2) shows Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker leading the Clone forces in the Battle of Muunilinst. Obi-Wan leads the ground forces, and ends up battling the mercenary Durge. Meanwhile, Anakin leads the space battle, then gets drawn into a one-on-one fight with the Dark Jedi Asajj Ventress.Interspersed with this are shorter scenes from other characters and other battles: ARC troopers taking a key enemy position on Muunilinst, Kit Fisto fighting underwater on Dac, Yoda and Padme rescuing two Jedi ambushed on Ilum, and Mace Windu battling an army on Dantooine.Then General Grievous shows up and kills a bunch of Jedi. A bunch.The second volume of the series (Season 3) has only two main storylines and no side stories. Beginning with the rescue of the Jedi from the last season's cliffhanger, it shows the tide of the war shifting against the Republic due to Grievous' arrival. The Jedi Council responds by promoting Anakin to Jedi Knight. A montage of Anakin kicking butt ensues, then he and Obi-wan are dispatched to Nelvaan to find Grievous. In this story, Anakin receives a trippy vision exploration that harbingers his later collapse to the Dark Side.Meanwhile, Grievous leads a massive invasion of Coruscant. Yoda and Mace Windu lead the counterattack, while Shaak Ti attempts to escort Chancellor Palpatine to safety.The animation style is similar to Samurai Jack, but with outlines and CG spaceships. The series was originally broadcast as three-minute episodes for the first two seasons (except Chapter 20, which was eight minutes long), then as twelve-minute episodes for the third season. Even in this format, the series earned two Emmy awards.Although the series is no longer canon, it appears to be connected to the canonical The Clone Wars series that began in 2008 through Broad Strokes, particularly concerning Asajj Ventress (as the series acts like she and Anakin have already met). In the final arc of that series, it's mentioned that Shaak Ti is sent to protect Palpatine during the Battle of Coruscant, which is consistent in both continuities. Events from the series are also referenced in canon novels such as Star Wars: Tarkin and Star Wars: Brotherhood.The series had twenty-five episodes in total, running at about 2 hours and 20 minutes — around the length of the Star Wars movies of the era. Lucasfilm released a recut of the microseries as two large narratives on DVD — Volume I covering the first twenty segments, and Volume II covering the remaining five — cutting out only minor bits of redundant footage. Unfortunately, the series was never released in any other format for a very long time... until it joined the Disney+ library in April 2021, released in the mini-movie format rather than through individual segments. | |

In one scene, General Grievous grasps a clone trooper's head with his clawed foot and smashes him against a wall so hard that his helmet shatters and his jaw is visible. There's no blood, but it's reasonable to assume that trooper is down for good. | |

| Star Wars: Clone Wars / int_17ce80aa | comment |
All There in the Manual: Volume II serves as the manual for portions of Revenge of the Sith, as it is meant to bridge the gap between Episodes II and III, in particular introducing General Grievous, showing C-3PO's new gold plating and Anakin becoming a Jedi Knight (as well as the cosmetic changes he and Obi-Wan undergo), and especially showing the Battle of Coruscant before Episode III drops everyone into the tail end of it. | |

Worf Had the Flu | |
| Star Wars: Clone Wars / int_2c628d38 | comment |
Worf Had the Flu: The show explains how easily Grievous managed to beat 5 Jedi at once. Dooku advises Grievous to exhaust and demoralize Jedi first before engaging them, and that it would be wise to flee otherwise, which is what happens later on in Revenge of the Sith. The Jedi that Grievous fought in his first appearance were visibly battle-worn and surrounded by Grievous' droid army. The one Jedi Grievous faces without exhausting first (Mace Windu) quickly crippled him by Force-crushing his chest, where Grievous' remaining internal organs are housed. Speaking of which, this also preemptively throws out some rationalizations for the Villain Decay General Grievous suffered in Revenge of the Sith. Grievous barely recovers from Windu's attack and it's implied to be the source of the persistent cough that he has in Revenge Of The Sith. | |

Conspicuously Light Patch: Averted. Though characters and objects are typically solid colors and backgrounds are painted, an object will be painted to match the background to avoid giving the game away. For example, when Asajj destroys a branch Anakin is standing on with the Force and a flick of her finger, the branch very nearly matches the tree. | |

Helmets Are Hardly Heroic | |

Helmets Are Hardly Heroic: Averted with the clone troopers, as even the ones who get a degree of individual characterization never remove their helmets. Averted by Saesee Tiin, though he couldn't exactly not wear one when going into space. Played straight by Obi-Wan, who wears a helmet for exactly one battle, and it quickly gets knocked off. | |

Adapted Out: In Labyrinth of Evil, which was produced slightly earlier, Shaak Ti, Corobb and Moudama were also accompanied by Stass Allie when they went to secure Palpatine, and later were joined by Roth-Del Masona and B'ink Utrila. In the series' version of the event, only the first three Jedi appear. Politicians Sate Pestage and Armand Isard were also in Palpatine's office at that moment, but they are similarly absent from the portrayal. | |

Never Bring a Gun to a Knife Fight | |
| Star Wars: Clone Wars / int_33ebf487 | comment |
Never Bring a Gun to a Knife Fight: When he breaks into Palpatine's office, Grievous is confronted by several clone troopers who open fire on him all at once, but he takes all of them out with little effort. Justified in that he's a cyborg with superhuman reflexes, speed and toughness, fighting in very close quarters and armed with Laser Blades that cut right through virtually anything. | |

Person of Mass Destruction | |
| Star Wars: Clone Wars / int_36c94bed | comment |
Person of Mass Destruction: Every single Jedi. The ARC troopers to a lesser extent. Yet again, General Grievous. Example: While escorting Palpatine to the safety bunker, the three Jedi taking him hop on a transport ship moving away from Grievous. His solution? Jump on the ship and slice the engines open, causing the ship to crash into the streets below. Even Amidala gets in on the action. | |

Rule of Cool | |
| Star Wars: Clone Wars / int_36e63b81 | comment |
Rule of Cool: Speeder-bike jousting. Also, when the Jedi are waiting for the elevator to arrive, and are listening to Grievous beat the tar out of a several dozen clone troopers, a chainsaw can be heard, something which is not often noted to be in his arsenal of weapons. This one was also Rule of Scary. The "Seismic Tank" on Dantooine. | |

KnowWhenToFoldThem | |
| Star Wars: Clone Wars / int_39884242 | comment |
The show explains how easily Grievous managed to beat 5 Jedi at once. Dooku advises Grievous to exhaust and demoralize Jedi first before engaging them, and that it would be wise to flee otherwise, which is what happens later on in Revenge of the Sith. The Jedi that Grievous fought in his first appearance were visibly battle-worn and surrounded by Grievous' droid army. The one Jedi Grievous faces without exhausting first (Mace Windu) quickly crippled him by Force-crushing his chest, where Grievous' remaining internal organs are housed. | |

"I Know You're in There Somewhere" Fight: In season 3, Anakin tries this against a group of Nelvaan warriors who have been brainwashed by the Techno Union. It doesn't work, and when he has to take another approach - destroying the mechanism that's controlling them - his cybernetic hand is destroyed, and the pain again causes him to give in to rage, channeling the Dark Side to savagely kill the villains. (But he did rescue the Nelvaans.) | |

Fear-Induced Idiocy | |
| Star Wars: Clone Wars / int_466f304e | comment |
Fear-Induced Idiocy: General Grievous's first appearance in "Chapter 20" has him and a droid army cornering a group of seven Jedi on the planet Hypori. The group of Jedi are backed into the wreckage of a ship by General Grievous and his droid army, and they are all on edge after being thoroughly demolished by him and his fighting force. As they await the general's arrival, they hear a mechanical clanking but it doesn't seem to be coming from anywhere, ramping up the tension. Sha'a Gi, one of the Jedi, is overcome by terror, breaks ranks and rushes out into the open, leading to him being killed immediately by Grievous by being crushed by him from above. | |

Insert Grenade Here: One of the ARC Troopers uses this tactic to take out a droid tank in Star Wars: Clone Wars. However, he didn't have any grenades. So he blasted his way into the tank, then shot it up from the inside with his gun that fired explosions, and jumped out. It worked. Yoda did it as well, and though he had a lightsaber, it worked even better. | |

Body Horror | |
| Star Wars: Clone Wars / int_504a1991 | comment |
Body Horror: After Durge is shown to survive being hit with a massive barrage of blaster fire (with a rocket launched at him for good measure). We get a good look at the being underneath it and he definitely looks like something out of Resident Evil. Although once he eats Obi-Wan however, he uses the force to free himself and the way the Bounty Hunter's body reacts to it, isn't a pretty sight. What happens to the male Nelvaanians: they're placed in tanks, experimented on heavily, then mutated into hulking abominations, have their brains plugged into control units to turn them into Slave Mooks, and each fitted with an ArmCannon. | |

Dual Wielding | |
| Star Wars: Clone Wars / int_50d71a78 | comment |
Dual Wielding: Fordo is very fond of his dual blaster pistols and he upgrades to using both a blaster rifle and a blaster pistol when holding the line against Super Battle Droids by himself during the Invasion of Coruscant. Asajj Ventress is very skilled with the use of two lightsabers, starting off with a blue and green one that belonged to her and her late Jedi Master before being given a gift of two sith lightsabers courtesy of Count Dooku. In the later part of the fight where Shaak Ti is surrounded by MagnaGuards, she uses the Force to reclaim her lightsaber and uses it in conjunction with the recently acquired MagnaGuard staff. While Grievous starts with two, he begins to one ups all of them by using three and then four lightsabers. | |

Cybernetics Eat Your Soul: In a sequence reminiscent of Luke's experience in the cave on Episode V, Anakin has a vision in which a warrior loses his arm in battle, and replaces it with a mysterious shiny, black one with great power. At first he is able to defend his home and friends with the power of the arm, but soon it reaches out and kills a bunch of stuff without him meaning to, eventually including his wife. The parallel to the loss of his own hand is clear, and it is certainly tracks to his own tragic fate and reliance on the power of the Force to protect the ones he loves. | |

Redshirt Army: When Anakin Skywalker takes off alone to chase an enemy Force-user, Obi-Wan orders a squadron of clone troopers to follow him and save him from getting himself killed. When the clones arrive, they proceed to split up and get wiped out over the course of about three minutes, without ever seeing the enemy. Amusingly enough, clone troopers are the predecessors of storm troopers, perhaps indicating that the trope is inheritable. | |

She was much too awesome a villain to kill off, so she returned in the expanded universe and Star Wars: The Clone Wars. | |

Pragmatic Villainy | |
| Star Wars: Clone Wars / int_5ca80293 | comment |
Pragmatic Villainy: A subtle example. The reason General Grievous spared Shaak Ti when he obviously could have killed her was because he needed a live witness to let the Jedi Council know that Chancellor Palpatine was gone (as his boss Darth Sidious, who unknown to Grievous, was Palpatine, had wanted them to know). | |

Also, when the Jedi are waiting for the elevator to arrive, and are listening to Grievous beat the tar out of a several dozen clone troopers, a chainsaw can be heard, something which is not often noted to be in his arsenal of weapons. This one was also Rule of Scary. | |

Arm Cannon: Most of the Nelvaanian warriors were given these as part of their grotesque body modifications. They tear them off after Anakin loses his own cybernetic arm, as a sign of respect to "holt kazed" — and to symbolize that they won't let themselves be what the Techno Union turned them into. | |

Flynning: There's times when the Jedi and their opponents are just sort of waving frantically in each other's direction. This seems inversely proportional to how close the camera is to the combatants. Deconstructed briefly; Count Dooku is shown training Grievous to defy this trope, which is part of how he's able to defeat so many Jedi. Dooku himself is more economical with his movements than most in his duel as part of his Makashi style. | |

Broken Faceplate: During Ventress' stealthy and force-assisted ambush/massacre of the Troopers that followed Anakin, one of them has their helmets fly off and show it's shattered black visor. In one scene, General Grievous grasps a clone trooper's head with his clawed foot and smashes him against a wall so hard that his helmet shatters and his jaw is visible. There's no blood, but it's reasonable to assume that trooper is down for good. | |

Knight of Cerebus | |
| Star Wars: Clone Wars / int_6a47a1e2 | comment |
Knight of Cerebus: Although the series tends to be extremely flashy and campy, some of its villains are treated quite seriously. Asajj Ventress. In her first appearance, she kills of all other contestants for Count Dooku's notice. Then she takes out several squads of clone fighters on her own, then she kills off all clones who had followed Anakin, and manages to give Anakin a good fight. Durge. While Obi-wan's troops easily crush other Separatist forces, he and his biker droids begin slaughtering the clones and destroying their machinery. Obi-wan cuts him with his lightsaber, but Durge begins pulling himself back together. He's regenerated within minutes, and it takes Obi-wan going inside him and ripping him apart from the inside to finally bring him down. General Grievous. He's introduced by his troops surrounding a small group of Jedi, then orders them to stop while he deals with the Jedi personally. Before he even appears on-screen, his voice booms, warning the Jedi about their impending doom. He kills a frightened Padawan, then mercilessly slaughters his way through several others before clone reinforcements chase him away. Out of six Jedi, only three survive, and two of those have serious injuries. | |

Bolivian Army Ending: The second season ends with a handful of Jedi holding out against an army of Battle Droids and the newly introduced General Grievous. The third season actually picks up a couple minutes later. Five Jedi survived the initial ambush, and holed up where the Droid army couldn't touch them. General Grievous killed two of the Jedi and critically wounded two more before Ki-Adi-Mundi single-handedly stalled long enough for reinforcements to arrive; while the surviving Jedi and clones escape, so does Grievous. | |

| Star Wars: Clone Wars / int_7abba202 | comment |
The Faceless In contrast to the later Revenge of the Sith and The Clone Wars, no Clone Trooper's face is ever seen in this series. The closest we get is a shot of the back of Fordo's head as he puts on his helmet before the rescue on Hypori, and a trooper's neck being exposed when struck by Grievous in the Chancellor's suite. This is also played straight for Durge, whose face was only shown in the comics. | |

Fake Arm Disarm | |
| Star Wars: Clone Wars / int_7c6216f0 | comment |
Fake Arm Disarm: Anakin infiltrates a Separatist compound on Nelvaan that has been performing horrifying experiments on the native population. First he was specifically chosen by the Nelvaanian shaman because he had a fake hand. Then the people who had been corrupted by the experiments tasked him to destroy the facility. Anakin does this by sticking his artificial hand in an energy sphere and stealing a critical component, but loses his robot hand in the process. The Nelvaanians see Anakin's mechanical stump as a symbol of their own freedom and respond by tearing off the arm cannons that the Separatists placed on them and cheer Anakin triumphantly. | |

Establishing Character Moment: While Revenge of the Sith doesn't allow you to see just how vicious General Grievous can be. His first entrance here has him taking on, and beating, no less than 5 Jedi at once. And we do mean beating. | |

Super-Soldier | |
| Star Wars: Clone Wars / int_80b57bec | comment |
Super-Soldier: Durge, who can be best described as a living Healing Factor clad in a walking armory. General Grievous, one of the greatest badasses in the Star Wars universe, was a cyborg. His finest display of power was shown here; at the Battle of Hypori, his first public appearance in the Clone Wars, he single-handedly defeated a team of seven Jedi, including Masters Ki-Adi Mundi, Shaak Ti, and Aayla Secura. He killed three of them, incapacitated another, and would almost certainly have killed the other three if a team of ARC troopers hadn't arrived at the last second and (somehow, without getting obliterated themselves) held him off. Grievous himself summed up this victory with a declaration of their imminent demise prior to the fight: The team of ARC troopers managed this because they were Super Soldiers themselves (to a much milder degree than Grievous, sure, but there were a lot more of them than there were of him). They held him at bay with impressive amounts of More Dakka. | |

On Nelvaan, during the cave trial, Anakin sees the Story of the Ghost Hand, where the hero fights a tatarigami and gains a cursed arm with incredible power. At first helpful to the village, it eventually devours them all. Very similar to the story of Ashitaka from Princess Mononoke, and used to foreshadow the coming of Darth Vader. | |

Macross Missile Massacre | |
| Star Wars: Clone Wars / int_8b93a168 | comment |
Macross Missile Massacre: One of these was fired at the Republic starfighters by the droid starfighters. Anakin Skywalker got them all following him, then used the Misguided Missile technique and flew straight through the nearest enemy capital ship's starfighter launch bay. He still had a swarm of missiles after him, though, so he got his fighter squadrons to line up a shot at where he was going to be and fire off another Macross Missile Massacre. The two Massacres collided in midair (-space?) and wiped each other out. | |

Overshadowed by Awesome: A few of the villains are demonstrated to be legitimately powerful opponents but they're just outclassed by their competition. Downplayed with Durge, who is more than a match for Clone Troopers but his weapons and armor are no match for a Jedi with a lightsaber. His absurd Healing Factor allows him to keep coming back but he still ultimately falls to the power of the Force. Ventress is a formidable warrior and a highly competent assassin. Unfortunately, Dooku utterly schools her in their duel, which only lasted as long as it did because he was toying with her. | |

Cape Busters: The ARC Troopers are a borderline case of this. They were genetically engineered super-soldiers who, using squad tactics (and heavy supporting firepower and air support), were able to at least hold their own against General Grevious to rescue a group of wounded Jedi knights. Although they were super-soldiers, against Force-users like the Jedi Knights or the Sith, even their genetic augments wouldn't be enough to qualify them as supers in their own rights. Though this ended up being some sly foreshadowing come Revenge of the Sith and Order 66. | |

Family-Unfriendly Death | |
| Star Wars: Clone Wars / int_9afa05c7 | comment |
Family-Unfriendly Death: Durge surrounds and absorbs Obi-Wan. Then Obi-Wan uses the Force to explode Durge from the inside out, scattering bits of him all over the room. Durge is shown in a later shot to be Not Quite Dead, but still, that's not pleasant. General Grievous gets two of these as part of his Establishing Character Moment. First a hapless Padawan is crushed as Grievous lands on him. Then he grabs another Jedi with his mechanical foot, and visibly snaps his neck as he slams his head into the ground before tossing his corpse into the ceiling. Grievous's debut in the next season has him murder his way through dozens of clones and senate guards, crushing them and slicing them up. Most of it takes place off screen, but the sounds are gruesome enough. After witnessing their horrific experiments on the Nelvaanian males, Anakin kills the Techno Union's scientists - all of whom are Skakoans, a species from a planet with a high-pressure atmosphere - with the Force. Most of the deaths are tame (such as simply throwing them around, throwing into a crowd of un-brainwashed Nelvaanians, or blasting them with geysers), but the lead scientist's death stands out. Anakin Force chokes him until his pressure suit breaches, and while he doesn't explode as mentioned in other material, his neck compresses into itself and parts of his suit pop out while his corpse expels gas. | |

A Day in the Limelight: Many minor characters get episodes focused around them, including Kit Fisto, Luminara, and Ki-Adi-Mundi. The most notable example is probably Shaak Ti, who stars as the protagonist of a Season 3 arc focusing on her attempt to prevent Grievous from kidnapping Palpatine. The Clone Troopers themselves have several episodes centered around them. | |

Continuity Nod: Numerous lines from the original trilogy appear in different contexts: "I have you now", "What a wonderful smell you've discovered", "Impressive. Most impressive", "There are alternatives to fighting", and "I've got a bad feeling about this." The Speeder Bike scenes to the Endor battle in Return of the Jedi. The overhead shots of the clones' cockpits are made to evoke those of the Original Trilogy. Anakin's cave vision of Darth Vader is a mirror of Luke's. The fight between the Mon Calamari's organic mounts and the machines of the CIS is meant to evoke the Gungan vs. Droid battle of The Phantom Menace. The pattern painted on Anakin's first starfighter is the same as on his podracer in The Phantom Menace. Anakin defeats Asajj Ventress the same way Luke will eventually defeat him, hammering away at her lightsaber. (Though he doesn't cut off her hand.) | |

One-Man Army | |
| Star Wars: Clone Wars / int_9e943076 | comment |
One-Man Army: Many Jedi, especially Mace Windu and Yoda, who wipe out hundreds of droids without their lightsabers and tear apart legions with little help from their soldiers. The first scene in Episode 22 has a commander of a droid base bragging that it would take at least 50 Jedi to take it. The droid standing next to him tells him there are Jedi approaching. The commander's first guess at their number is 1000, but there are only two. Those two are Obi-Wan and Anakin, who utterly destroy the droid army without batting an eye. The massive army of non-Jedi they brought with them probably helped. General Grievous is able to cut through clones and Jedi with his usual psychopathic zeal. Durge is shown to be a one-man arsenal. | |

It's Probably Nothing: Played for laughs, with Palpatine dismissing Grievous's clanking footsteps drawing nearer and then suddenly stopping, to the dismay of his Jedi protectors. The droid general's head appears in the window behind him even as he's delivering the line, hanging upside down on the outside of the building. One gets the impression that the scheming dark lord, who actually wants to be captured, plays the classic part with some glee. Then again, the Ham is Large with this one. | |

Mood Whiplash | |
| Star Wars: Clone Wars / int_a4c37cbe | comment |
Mood Whiplash: When General Grievous kicks his way into the Chancellor's office to try and kidnap him. The Jedi rush the Chancellor out, leaving the clones behind to stall him in scenes of what is very nearly explicit carnage (only the lack of blood kept it from being truly horrific). Cut to the Jedi waiting for the elevator to arrive, with screams, blaster fire and chainsaw sounds coming from the office. And then one of the Jedi reaches out and pushes the elevator call button 6 times to make it get there faster. | |

While Rome Burns: Played with. As the Confederacy attacks Coruscant, Chancellor Palpatine remains in his office, sipping tea and ignoring the Jedi's encouragement to take shelter. And when the Jedi-killer General Grievous smashes through the window, Palpatine reacts by scolding Grievous. But this is all for show: unknown to anyone present, Palpatine is also Darth Sidious, the shadowy leader of the Confederacy. He makes no effort to protect himself because had arranged his own kidnapping. | |

Both Clones and Droids. The giant underwater cannon on Mon Calamari, it's strong enough to bisect one of the Republics ships. That one encounters Kit Fisto. | |

| Star Wars: Clone Wars / int_b6c2e6ad | comment |
Villain Episode: A few episodes are devoted to some of the villains to showcase their abilities (usually in the form of a Curb-Stomp Battle) before facing the heroes. Durge gets an episode dedicated to him and his Elite Mooks laying waste to the Republic army before he faces Kenobi. Ventress gets an episode of nothing but her curb-stomping an arena of gladiators. She also has a follow up duel with Dooku before she flies off to battle Skywalker. Grievous' introduction is him dishing out the mother of all Curb Stomp Battles to multiple Jedi. | |

Storming the Castle | |
| Star Wars: Clone Wars / int_b9f472b | comment |
Storming the Castle: Averted. Obi-Wan and Anakin have been assigned to help out a siege effort of a clone army. Obi-Wan, bored out of his mind, asks Commander Cody how much longer it will take for them to take the enemy's position. Cody cheerfully responds three months, saying they're making good progress, while Obi-Wan moans about how long they've already been there. Then he and Anakin find an underground tunnel to sneak into the city, and take out its shields reactor, allowing the clones to storm all over it. | |

Pretender Diss: Asajj Ventress declares herself a Sith Lord, only for Count Dooku, a real Sith Lord, to mock and beat her down. Specifically, Dooku tells Ventress how he senses fear in her, which a true Sith would lack. While fear can indeed be used to draw power from The Dark Side, a Sith is supposed to draw power instead from hatred. | |

Battle in the Rain: It conveniently starts to rain during a face-off between Anakin Skywalker and Asajj Ventress. Cue a dramatic pause where they both stand still while raindrops hit their lightsabers and turn into wisps of steam. (This foreshadows the end of the faceoff, where Anakin gives into rage again, channeling the Dark Side of the Force and using Ventress' dropped Sith lightsaber to savagely attack her, shoving her off the building they're on with the final blow.) | |

Shout-Out | |
| Star Wars: Clone Wars / int_c75df49a | comment |
Shout-Out: One of the first Jedi killed by Grievous is named Sha'a Gi, and he's a dead ringer (no pun intended) for Shaggy. The scene where Anakin uses his robot arm to slide down to the core of the Techno Union's factory and destroy it's core was strongly reminiscent of I, Robot. Planet Nelvaan was named for Nelvana Studios, who had created the Droids and Ewoks animated series, as well as the Boba Fett cartoon that was the single best part of The Star Wars Holiday Special. C-3PO's eyes are animated in homage to his portrayal in the Droids series. The native Nelvaanians' canine appearance is a nod to Nelvana's first animated feature, Rock and Rule, where all the cast were Dog Faces. In one very brief crowd shot, a Cylon is seen. The Nelvaanian shaman's hair clip bears the zintaris, which was a prominent clan symbol in Tartakovsky's other hit series. More of an allusion, and most likely not deliberate, but the last two thirds of Chapter 20 showcase almost an identical scenario — in mood, conflict, and soundtrack and sound effects — to the episode "Jack and the Ultrabots" from Genndy Tartakovsky's Samurai Jack. On Nelvaan, during the cave trial, Anakin sees the Story of the Ghost Hand, where the hero fights a tatarigami and gains a cursed arm with incredible power. At first helpful to the village, it eventually devours them all. Very similar to the story of Ashitaka from Princess Mononoke, and used to foreshadow the coming of Darth Vader. | |

Unspoken Plan Guarantee: Playfully averted in the third season. Obi-Wan and Anakin are leading the siege of a city when Anakin discovers a secret way inside past the shields. In a deadpan voice, Obi-Wan says, "So I assume the plan is to crawl through the sewer, work our way to the shield generator, fight our way through the defenses, blow up the generator, knocking out the shield and all our troops swarm in and overwhelm the enemy?" They then do exactly that. | |

Cape Snag | |
| Star Wars: Clone Wars / int_d7c45a19 | comment |
Cape Snag: While General Grievous was busy gloating, Shaak Ti uses the distraction to discreetly tie the general's cape to a train bar. It allows her to temporarily defeat him once it begins to travel. | |

Impending Clash Shot | |
| Star Wars: Clone Wars / int_d83631f9 | comment |
Impending Clash Shot: A terrifying one occurs at the end of Chapter 20. Weaponless, Master Ki-Adi Mundi's spirit breaks as he watches General Greivous, wielding a lightsaber in each hand, strike the fourth of a five Jedi team across the length of the room and into a pillar, which collapses upon them. Grievous turns his attention to Ki-Adi before picking up a third lightsaber; he prepares to strike. Ki-Adi's spirit returns and he grabs another lightsaber from Grievous's belt with the Force. They wait. Suddenly Grievous leaps at him — all three blades drawn; Ki-Adi plants one foot behind and prepares to engage him. End of the season. | |

Animesque: Given that it was done by Genndy Tartakovsky, he incorporates all of his usual styles from shows such as Samurai Jack, including flashy well-choreographed fight scenes and a high emphasis on action, as well as a very cartoony animation style. There's also Durge, a full fledged AKIRA homage. | |

Futureshadowing | |
| Star Wars: Clone Wars / int_dc8ecfda | comment |
Futureshadowing: During his duel with Ventress, Anakin loses track of his opponent and enters a temple to search around. As he does so, two drops of water are heard falling, and they imitate the sound of Darth Vader's breath. In a cave, Anakin hallucinates, seeing pictures on a wall move before his eyes, foretelling his fall to the dark side. At the end of the vision, the pictures form into a mirage that briefly looks exactly like Vader's mask. An earlier scene has Anakin walking as the lone human in a crowd of aliens with resentment and anger growing in his face, foreshadowing the Empire's anti-alien specism. Also counts as Foreshadowing, but Dooku warns Grievous to have surprise, fear, and intimidation on his side when facing the Jedi, noting that it would be better to retreat otherwise. The one Jedi he fights without doing this to happens to be Mace Windu and Grievous goes down in two seconds quite painfully. | |

Continuity Snarl: Caused one regarding the depiction of the pre-movie section of the Battle of Coruscant, which had previously been depicted in a radically different manner in Labyrinth of Evil (notably regarding Mace Windu's role and the capture of Palpatine). The Wookieepedia article engages in a herculean effort to unite the two presentations.note The Disney canon reference book Star Wars Lightsabers: A Guide to Weapons of the Force, in describing the battle, favors the Clone Wars interpretation. | |

General Grievous. He's introduced by his troops surrounding a small group of Jedi, then orders them to stop while he deals with the Jedi personally. Before he even appears on-screen, his voice booms, warning the Jedi about their impending doom. He kills a frightened Padawan, then mercilessly slaughters his way through several others before clone reinforcements chase him away. Out of six Jedi, only three survive, and two of those have serious injuries. | |

Call-Forward: During his dogfight with Ventress, Anakin gets a lock on her and says "I have you now." He still failed to kill his target. Also from A New Hope, the shots of Anakin’s arrival on Yavin 4 closely match those of the Millennium Falcon doing likewise 22 years later. We get a not-so-subtle reference to Darth Vader once Anakin undertakes the Nelvaanian journey to find their missing champions. | |

Luminara Unduli and Barriss Offee. Their lightsaber fight against the battle droids showed them to be perfectly synchronized. | |

Elevator Escape: Happens near the end of the third season. Shaak Ti and two other Jedi take Chancellor Palpatine down a hallway as Grievous begins slashing his way through the assembled guards. They call the elevator while listening to Grievous fighting, and when it all goes quiet, the Ithorian Jedi repeatedly mashes the button. They do make it inside though, despite Grievous busting out of the office and running down the hall towards them. | |

After witnessing their horrific experiments on the Nelvaanian males, Anakin kills the Techno Union's scientists - all of whom are Skakoans, a species from a planet with a high-pressure atmosphere - with the Force. Most of the deaths are tame (such as simply throwing them around, throwing into a crowd of un-brainwashed Nelvaanians, or blasting them with geysers), but the lead scientist's death stands out. Anakin Force chokes him until his pressure suit breaches, and while he doesn't explode as mentioned in other material, his neck compresses into itself and parts of his suit pop out while his corpse expels gas. | |

Hero-Tracking Failure: The Gunship Rescue doesn't seem to land a single shot on Grievous. Also, the droid Nantex-class fighters targeting Anakin in Season 1 provide the page image. | |

Mushroom Samba | |

Mushroom Samba: Anakin's vision in the cave. He gets a blast of steam in the face in a cave on Nelvaan. As a result, he starts seeing the cave paintings move. Considering how well the vision summarizes and foreshadows his own fall to the Dark Side, The Force probably assisted the lack of oxygen. This sequence parallels Luke's experience in the cave in Episode V, where he receives a similar vision/warning about his own susceptibility to the Dark Side. | |

Low Clearance | |
| Star Wars: Clone Wars / int_fbc1a68d | comment |
Low Clearance: Mace Windu takes advantage of this: He flies at a gap in the skyscrapers of Coruscant and closes his fighter's S-foils to let him fit through. The Vulture Droids following him can't fit, and wreck themselves on the side of the building trying. | |

Dead Hat Shot | |

Dead Hat Shot: You can repeatedly see clone helmets floating on water or lying on the ground, since the series' ratings do not allow showing dead owners of those helmets in detail. | |
