* ForWantOfANail: If Waxer hadn't gone out of his way to help Numa, they likely wouldn't have found their way into the tunnels, which lead them to a back door in the Separatist droids' base and allowed them to free the prisoners and take out the anti-aircraft cannons.

* PunishmentDetail: When Waxer and Boil realize that they're late reporting back as a result of being sidetracked by Numa, Boil suggests that they're going to wind up "polishing R2 units".

* AsYouKnow: Justified. Directly after Windu and the intro narration gives an overview of their intentions, Obi-Wan reminds the clone troopers on the gunship with him that they're there to help the Twi'leks, not destroy their home, bringing to light the different priorities the troopers bring with them.

The Republic is beginning its invasion of Ryloth to free it from the Separatists. Obi-Wan Kenobi and his clone troopers are sent to deal with a gun emplacement in the city of Nabat that's causing difficulty for their ships. They can't just bomb it from on high because the tactical droid commanding it is holding the Twi'lek townspeople prisoner around the guns. Obi-Wan, Commander Cody, and the clone troopers enter the city to destroy the gun emplacement. Two clone troopers, Waxer and Boil, are sent to scout ahead and run into a young Twi'lek girl named Numa who avoids being captured by the droids. Waxer tries to befriend her, much to Boil's irritation.

* AmbiguousRobots: InUniverse, Waxer suggests that Numa's initial fear of him and Boil is because due to their armor, she thinks they're droids.

* ItsQuietTooQuiet: When Cody, Wooley, Waxer and Boil are scouting, Boil wonders where the inhabitants of Nabat are, as the place is entirely quiet and deserted. Cody pulls the segment of Ghost Company to a halt to split up and proceed with more caution.

* AllAccordingToPlan: When one of the battle droids tells the tactical droid that the gunships are still headed their way despite the barrage the tactical droid responds with ''"Just as I calculated"''.

* HeartwarmingOrphan: Numa. Though fortunately not literally, as she is later reunited with a Twi'lek man who appears to be her father.
* HumanShield: Or rather Twi'lek Shield. The tactical droid commanding the gun emplacement is holding the townspeople prisoner in the square where the guns are located, so the Republic forces can't bombard them from orbit.
