* FallenHero: It's implied in the dialogue and further discussed in the Episode Featurette that Chairman Cho was a respected long-time leader of the Pantorans, whose ruthless tactics and fervent nationalism may have been effective in a different age. But Pantora is also shown to have begun to move on, and the chairman's attitudes no longer are keeping up with the times. The featurette notes that it's time for a change in Pantora, from using violence towards an peaceful outlook. By the end, Pantora has chosen to go take a high road and Cho's ways dies with him.

* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: Thi-Sen is an affable figure who is open to diplomacy, although he's in no way a fool or a pushover. Despite Chairman Cho's aggression, Thi-Sen gives him ''two'' chances to leave Orto Plutona in peace, and allows the group to leave the negotiations unmolested despite the declaration of war. He also sends his warriors only after the Chairman, and immediately agrees to peace after the Chairman's death.

* DespairEventHorizon: Chairman Cho crosses it moments before his death, being informed that the Assembly have declared his actions out of order, his authority has been revoked, and they will make peace with the Talz. He is horrified to realise that rather than dying a matyr of his people like he believed, he will be unavenged and his legacy will be viewed with disdain.

* BloodKnight: Chairman Cho is a war hawk.



* ChangingOfTheGuard: Senator Chuchi's arc in this episode is learning to stand up for herself and for the values of a presumably changed Pantora. While Chairman Cho is shown to be respected (or at least feared) by the Senator, she and the rest of the Pantoran government choose to leave behind his xenophobic, violent ways in favor of pursuing a peaceful resolution to the conflict. Symbolically, the young and inexperienced Senator replaces the seasoned older Chairman as the representative of Pantora with the Talz

* RockBeatsLaser: The Talz, despite their primitive weaponry, managed to wipe out the personnel of both the Republic and Separatist bases and inflict heavy losses on the clone troopers guarding Chairman Cho. However, they take losses of their own.

* RockBeatsLaser: The Talz, despite their primitive weaponry, managed to wipe out the personnel of both the Republic and Separatist bases and inflict heavy losses on the clone troopers guarding Chairman Cho. However, they do take losses of their own.own, and their victories are implied to be down to a mix of superior numbers and greater knowledge of the terrain [[note]]Most of the clone casualties inflicted on-screen by the Talz are shown to be caused by ambush tactics that use terrain to their advantage, such as having Talz hide under snowdrifts then emerge to strike at speeder-mounted troopers, or positioning spear-throwing Talz in high places near a hidden ravine then luring the clones there to trap them and strike at them from above[[/note]].

* WrongGenreSavvy: Despite Cho's assumptions, Rex and his men don't answer to him. They disregard his orders to initiate violence against the Talz, and only open fire in self-defense. Cho is in a position of authority, but he's not in the Clones' chain of command, so they're under no obligation to follow his orders. Additionally, despite being the overall ruler of Pantora, the chairman is implied to be an elected position with checks and balances in the form of the Pantoran Assembly, thus Cho does not have the authority to declare war on a random race out of misplaced patriotism without consulting his board. Once the Assembly is informed of his antics, they declare his actions out of order and remove him from power, not that it matters in the end as his bull-headed decisions lead to his death anyway.

* WrongGenreSavvy: WarHawk: Upon hearing the base has gone silent, Chairman Cho's first assumption is that it's Separatists who need to be fought. When he finds out it's the Talz, he immediately demands that they go to war with them and overrules any effort to make peace with them, before taking to the front lines himself.
