* NiceJobBreakingItHero: The Rebels trick the Imperials into retreating to the command center under the guise of a [[OrbitalBombardment Base Delta Zero]] drill, planning to launch the entire thing and then blow it up, taking the entire Imperial ground force with it. When Thrawn arrives, he anticipates this strategy and has Rukh disable to shield generator while positioning his Star Destroyer directly over the command center. Now all the Imperials are safe in one structure that has no escape path, and he can ''actually'' Base Delta Zero the capital surrounding it without fear of hitting his own troops. Ezra has to surrender himself to stop the devastation.

* TookALevelInJerkass: In Zahn's original portrayal, Thrawn is part of the Empire, but he's almost entirely devoted to art. Here, we see that Thrawn is devoted to the fascism of the Empire, valuing power for its own sake.

Misuse. This is only when a character ruins a plan unwittingly; Rukh was clearly acting intentionally.

In both cases, the piece ends as both characters choose to do what they perceive is the right thing (Ezra agrees to surrender, Vader attacks the Emperor to save Luke).

** To a lesser degree, Ezra's surrender is this. He and Sabine always intended that they would cooperate. Albeit they said this with highly suggestive eyebrow movements. Still. It's what Jedi do.
* UnspokenPlanGuarantee: Up to eleven. Ezra and Sabine look at each other. He asks permission to escape from his friends, she grants permission. She distracts Phoenix Squad so Ezra can surrender himself. He buys them time to raise the planetary shield, they buy ''him'' time to IndyPloy out the ass.
** There was another UPG between Ezra and Wedge, even before he went to the Dome. He instructed Wedge to go to orbit and signal on frequency zero, a frequency no one uses any more. It summons allies... SummonBiggerFish to 9000.
