* ShipTease: Annie and Abed.
** ShipSinking: Only for Abed to promptly shoot it down once he's finished playing the Han Solo role.
* ShirtlessScene: Much like Jeff in [[Recap/CommunityS1E23ModernWarfare "Modern Warfare"]], Troy spends the whole episode in a muscle shirt.
* ShoutOut:
** LiteraryAllusionTitle: The episode title is taken from ''Film/ForAFewDollarsMore''.
** There's the ''StarWars'' WholePlotReference, of course...
*** Although it's downplayed; apart from Abed taking on the Han Solo role and forcing the issue, there are actually relatively few direct references to any of the ''Star Wars'' movies as everyone else considers the idea hackneyed and played out. The episode as a whole plays out in a more general 'underdog rebels vs. an evil invading [[TheEmpire empire]]' way.
** A subtler ''StarWars'' shout out is the fact that the City College soldiers call each other "White Clones". The Stormtroopers are dressed in white, and are all clones.
** Also ones to war movies. Britta sees people getting "killed" in slow motion like ''SavingPrivateRyan''. Troy poses like Willem Dafoe in ''{{Platoon}}''.
** "Welcome to Greendale. [[FistOfTheNorthStar You're already dead"]].
** Both Jeff's plan and Troy's refer to the climaxes of films: Troy's is to ''Film/{{Constantine}}'' (Holy water in the sprinklers killing vampires), and Jeff's is to the classic Western ''TheWildBunch'' (where the climax involves charging a machine-gun nest)
** Dean Spreck's intercom speech (this page's quote, in fact) is a nod to the female radio DJ from ''Film/TheWarriors'' who provided both coded messages to New York's gangs and plot summary to the audience, complete with a replicated close shot of the lower half of Spreck's face speaking into a microphone. His cadence is even similar.
* SkewedPriorities: "Dammit, Shirley! Forget about your newborn baby and focus on the people who need you!"
* SoreLoser: Jeff does not react well to being the first person eliminated in the final battle, stomping off in a huff immediately after.
* SpecialEditionTitle: ''StarWars'' themed!
* ThereCanOnlyBeOne: The only rule of this year's paintball game.
* ThereIsNoKillLikeOverkill: How Troy gets taken out.
* TookALevelInBadass:
** Vicki was scared to leave the fort in the previous episode. Here, she was the first to charge the ice cream truck.
** Inverted with Jeff. After winning the first season PaintballEpisode, he is next to useless throughout the entire A Fistful of Paintballs/For a Few Paintballs More two-parter. He doesn't unambiguously manage to shoot anyone, and the only possible kills he makes onscreen are in the charge on the gatling gun, where he fires wildly with Chang's automatic paintball gun, and a few mooks get hit. Even then they might have been shot by one of the others.
