* UnreliableNarrator: Phee is introduced this episode telling an amazing story of her latest exploit to the barflies. Hunter, listening nearby, notes she has told the story differently multiple times, making it rather dubious if any of it actually happened. Though later we do see she really is a quite skilled treasure hunter.

* ContinuityNod: The characters don't know it, but the machine looks an ''awful'' lot like a creation of the Zeffo from ''Videogame/StarWarsJediFallenOrder''. It has the same curving aesthetic and a virtually identical energy beam.

The Bus Came Back refers to former important characters coming back after being Put On A Bus, not a recurring character coming back after one brief appearance.


* TheBusCameBack: Phee returns for the first time since the season premiere.

Added DiffLines:

* StarfishRobots: The destroyer is a downplayed version. Droids in ''Star Wars'' typically range between humanoid and combat-practical forms, such as the Separatist droid fighters. This one has a bulky, giraffe-like appearance with a simple face and a bulbous head, looking similar to the Tallnecks from the ''VideoGame/HorizonZeroDawn'' series.

Added DiffLines:

* SelfDestructMechanism: The port in the destroyer's brain triggers a self-destruct sequence when the Heart of the Mountain is plugged into it. Thankfully for the heroes, this takes the form of a less-explosive, critical systems overload that renders the droid a lifeless husk.

* AllForNothing: The Heart of the Mountain is what's keeping the destroyer in a dormant state. When they plug it into the droid's brain, not only does it cause the destroyer to initiate a self-destruct sequence (of the mercifully "render it useless but intact" variety), but melts the Heart for good measure.



* TheyKilledKennyAgain: Mel is destroyed by the giant destroyer, but Phee is unperturbed as she keeps her memory copied so she can reupload it after repairs are done, saying this happens a lot.

* ThatsNoMoon: What's assumed to be a temple is actually a gigantic, ancient droid.

* TheBusCameBack: Phee returns for the first time since the season premiere.
* CallBack: Tech notes the team has lost out on two treasure hunts as of late, recalling the failed raid on Dooku’s war chest from the season premiere.
* {{Foreshadowing}}: Tech notes that the planet looks decimated by the time they get there, foreshadowing the tomb’s true nature as a destroyer.
* HereWeGoAgain: The episode ends with Phee telling Omega another treasure story, once again gripping the young girl, and Hunter wearily realizing they’re in for another hunt.
* OutsideContextProblem: The destroyer comes from a civilization that predates the Republic and the Jedi according to Phee. As such, nobody knows what the hell they’ve unleashed when the temple transforms into a colossal death machine.
