** Clone Troopers vs Stormtroopers. While the clone troopers enthusiastically charged headlong into a fight they had little chance of winning, the stormtroopers fled pathetically once they found themselves in a similar position. Kallus even stating that the clone troopers were "obsolete" at the start of the battle, before asking if the clone troopers were insane once they had closed the distance.

* UltimateShowdownOfUltimateDestiny: The long-standing HypotheticalFightDebate about a clash between a Republic AT-TE versus an Imperial AT-AT finds its answer in this episode. The AT-TE proves to be inferior in pretty much every respect; it's slower, lighter, and has less powerful cannons that cannot penetrate the AT-AT's armor except at the weak and hard to hit neck joint. It is also not helped that the clone's AT-TE is older, has been poorly maintained due to lacking replacement parts, and been modified to act as a sort of land fishing boat; while the AT-AT walkers are fresh off out of the factory by comparison. The only reason it manages to do any damage at all is because of the sandstorm and distractions by the ''Ghost'' crew. WordOfGod states that the [=AT-ATs=] that appear in this episode are larger and more powerful than the [=AT-ATs=] from ''The Empire Strikes Back''.

* BreakOutTheMuseumPiece: A Clone Wars era Republic AT-TE walker vs three modern Imperial AT-AT walkers. RealityEnsues as its only advantage is its smaller size and greater stability, lacking in both armor and firepower compared to the newer AT-AT. The AT-TE's main cannon can't even penetrate an AT-AT's armor until they fire into the less armored neck joint, while the AT-AT's cannons tear right through the AT-TE, even briefly disabling the smaller walker. The AT-AT's even have superior strength, as Wolffe (who was piloting the AT-TE) tried to push into AT-AT's legs to throw it off balance, but fails when the AT-AT starts pushing back. Had it not been for the assistance of Jedi, the AT-TE would have stood no chance against its successors.

** The lightly armored neck of the AT-AT is the only point vulnerable to blaster fire. The rest is too tough for the older clone weaponry to penetrate. They are vulnerable to their own cannons, though, which allows the ''Ghost'' crew to hijack one in order to take out the other.

* BreakOutTheMuseumPiece: A Clone Wars AT-TE walker vs three AT-AT walkers. RealityEnsues as its only advantage is its smaller size and greater stability. The newer walkers having far superior armor and firepower. The AT-TE's main cannon can't even penetrate an AT-AT's armor until they fire into the less armored neck joint, while the AT-AT's cannons tear right through the AT-TE, even briefly disabling the smaller walker. The AT-AT's even have superior strength, as Wolffe (who was piloting the AT-TE) tried to push into AT-AT's legs to throw it off balance, but fails when the AT-AT starts pushing back.

* TheLastDance: The clone troopers aboard the AT-ET see it as this: Going out fighting a great foe while helping some Jedi complete their mission, just like the back in the Clone Wars; or eventually die in the middle of nowhere when their AcceleratedAging some day gets the better of them. Averted when the Jedis come back to save them. As Rex put it: "Just like the old days!".

* BreakOutTheMuseumPiece: A Clone Wars AT-ET walker vs three AT-AT walkers. RealityEnsues as its only advantage is its smaller size and greater stability, the newer walkers having it grossly outmatched in weaponry and armor. The AT-ET's main cannon can't even penetrate an AT-AT's armor until they fire into one of the AT-AT's less armored joints. While the AT-AT's cannons have little issue causing catastrophic damage to the AT-ET with every hit, even briefly disabling the smaller walker. The AT-AT's even have superior strength, as Wolffe (who was piloting the AT-ET) tried to push into AT-AT's legs to throw it off balance, but fails when the AT-AT starts pushing back.

RealityEnsues as its only advantage is its smaller size and greater stability, the newer walkers having it grossly outmatched in weaponry and armor. The AT-ET's main cannon can't even penetrate one of the AT-AT's armor until they ram it into point blank range and fire into one of the AT-AT's less armored joints.

-->'''Rex:''' If it's a fight you want, I hope you brought a better class of soldier than those ... ''stormtroopers''.\\

--> '''Rex:''' Just like the old days.

* DeletedScene: WordOfGod was that the episode didn't have enough time to show that Sabine left Wolffe and Gregor a painting of hers on their home.

* HoldYourHippogriffs: While the Rebels and Clones are under attack from the Imperials, Ezra states that the group are "sitting Mynocks" on the plains.

* PutOnABus: At the end, Rex shows up to greet Ahsoka, but no mention is made of how Gregor and Wolffe are passing the time, initially making it a case of WhatHappenedToTheMouse. [[WordOfGod Pablo Hidalgo later mentioned in a Rebels Recon episode]] that they stayed on Seelos (as not only did the ''Ghost'' crew come for Rex, [[ThereAreNoTherapists Wolffe and Gregor's mental health would be detrimental to the rebel cause for the time being]]), but now have a new mobile home in the hijacked [=AT-AT=].

* YourApprovalFillsMeWithShame: Kind of. The clones, having fought under Jedi, trust Kanan and refer to him as "General". Kanan's clearly not comfortable with it. Well, he was never a general anyways.

* FailedASpotCheck: The Imperials fail to find the ''Ghost'' when its shut down to hide from their radar. They should have found it by simply looking out the window or it would have been seen by a passing TIE Fighter.

-->'''Rex:''' If it's a fight you want, I hope you brought a better class of soldier than those Stormtroopers.\\
'''Kallus:''' They serve the Empire well, and I have a great many of them.\\
'''Rex:''' You're gonna need all of them.

--> '''Rex''': Just like the old days.

* BlindfoldedVision: Exploited when Kanan helps maneuver the AT-TE during the storm and Ezra fires at an AT-AT he can't see.

* GettingCrapPastTheRadar: The clones have a poster of a green twi'lek woman posing suggestively in a SexyBacklessOutfit, and a copy of the noseart of the ship of the Bad Batch, depicting Padmé in a slit-skirt that shows off her leg. First is largely hidden by the angles, while the latter is at the edge of the screen during Wolffe's and Rex's conversation with Kallus.

* HypocriticalHumor: When he's reunited with Ahsoka, Rex tries to lighten the mood by teasing her about how old she got. Rex, being a clone, suffers from RapidAging and biologically is in his mid-50ies. Ahsoka is polite enough not to call him on it.

* KidHeroAllGrownUp: Lampshaded when Rex and Ahsoka finally meet. Rex comments on how Ahsoka "got old", to which she replies "had to happen some time."

* PutOnABus: At the end, Rex shows up to greet Ahsoka, but no mention is made of how Gregor and Wolffe are passing the time, initially making it a case of WhatHappenedToTheMouse.
