History Recap / StarWarsTheCloneWarsS2E17BountyHunters

* FantasticFlora: The towering glowing plant life and fungi of Felucia is on full display.

* KnowWhenToFoldThem: After having fought the Jedi and the bounty hunters for what should have been an easy grab, Hondo decides that:

* PummelingTheCorpse: Embo snaps a pirate swoop bikers neck, then casually tosses his body into the electric fence protecting the village.

* UngratefulBastard: Hondo asks Anakin for help to get pulled up a cliff under the pretense he can call off his men in return, but instead he pushes Anakin into his tank's line of fire. Although he might have known Anakin could have survived that easily.

* TookALevelInBadass: The villagers undergo this after the Jedi decide to go...

* WholePlotReference: To *Seven Samurai*, a film by Akira Kurosawa, to whom the episode is dedicated.

* CastingGag: Casiss, the leader of the Felucian farming village, is wise and older than any of the other characters in this episode. He's played by Greg Baldwin, who previously played the wise and older than any of the other characters Iroh on ''WesternAnimation/AvatarTheLastAirbender''.

** While Hondo has done his best to avoid having to actually fight by playing dumb in his previous appearances in the series via outmaneuvering opponents to force surrender and using his silver tongue, he finally proves that he is an incredibly dangerous fighter when he survives a fight against Jedi Knight Anakin Skywalker armed with an electrostaff against the Jedi.

* SimpleStaff: Hondo uses an electrostaff in his duel against Anakin.

* NiceHat: Embo has one that doubles as a reference to the traditional Japanese kasa, but it also acts as armor against blaster fire as a result of being made of metal. Then he goes and uses it as a weapon, like ComicBook/CaptainAmerica's shield.

* AmbiguousSituation: It's left vague whether Sugi's reaction to Rumi's death is mourning a friend or a romantic partner.

* ClickHello: The bounty hunters are introduced when Rumi sneaks up behind Ahsoka and tells her to drop her lightsaber with a blaster pointed at the back of her head.

* NeckSnap: Embo kills the pirate scout this way.

* AreYouPonderingWhatImPondering: When their ship is about to crash Anakin asks if Obi-Wan is thinking what he's thinking, and while Obi-Wan says "Most assuredly not," he rather obviously knows what Anakin is thinking, as he grabs his mask before Anakin grabs his or explains any further.

** While in previous appearances Hondo has done his best to avoid having to actually fight by playing dumb, outmaneuvering opponents to force surrender and using his silver tongue, he finally proves that he is an incredibly dangerous fighter when he survives a fight against Jedi Knight Anakin Skywalker armed an electrostaff against the Jedi.

* TheMagnificentSevenSamurai: Well three space samurai-monks, and four {{Bounty Hunter}}s.

* ClickHello: The bounty hunters are introduced when Rumi sneaks up behind Ahsoka and tells her to drop her lightsaber with a blaster at the back of her head.

* CypherLanguage: There is Aurebesh on the ejection globes saying "Caution explosive extrusion".
* DeadpanSnarker: Sugi is quite snarky and critical of the Jedi, and understandably. As she says of Anakin's assessment that she's in over her head, ''"Says the peacekeeper, who fails to keep the peace."'' She seems to like Ahsoka though, possibly because Ahsoka's desire to help even if it delays their mission is much more in keeping with what most think the Jedi are meant to be rather than military generals.

* {{Newsreel}}: Like all ''The Clone Wars'' episodes "Bounty Hunters" opens with a bombastic bit framed like a Republic propaganda newsreel;
''[[center:[[AC:"The death toll rises! \\
As the battles intensify, and threaten a growing number of\\
Republic worlds, planets are left to survive on their own. \\
While the Jedi struggle to fight a war on many fronts, \\
a series of medical stations have been established \\
as a lifeline for those in need, \\
but the facilities are easy prey for Separatist attacks. \\
After losing contact with the medical station orbiting Felucia,\\
Obi-Wan Kenobi, Anakin Skywalker and Ahsoka Tano \\
are sent to investigate…."]]]]''

** Hondo proves he is this when he stands up to Anakin and survives a fight against him via using an electrostaff.

* CoolVersusAwesome: Jedi Knights and {{Bounty Hunter}}s vs SpacePirates!

* FlyingSaucer: Hondo's ship.

After the Republic lost contact with a medical center above Felucia, Anakin, Obi-Wan, and Ahsoka are sent to investigate. Soon they discover that the center was destroyed by the Separatists and they fall under attack from Vulture droids left behind as patrol units. The Jedi's ship is shot down and they're forced to crash-land on Felucia. Stranded, they ask for help from villagers, who have their own problems: Hondo Ohnaka's pirate gang is extorting them for the valuable medical herbs they're harvesting.

* BlastItOutOfTheirHands: Embo is separated from his weapon during the battle when a pirate shoots it out of his hand.

* TookALevelInBadass: The villagers undergo this after the Jedi decided to go...

* {{Bounty Hunter}}s: Sugi, Seripas, Embo, and Rumi Paramita are all Bounty Hunters.

* CreatorCameo: Embo is voiced by supervising director Dave Filoni.

* GlowingMechanicalEyes: Seripas' MiniMecha had these.
* {{Homage}}: To ''Film/SevenSamurai''. Ironically, it also pays tribute to ''[[Film/TheMagnificentSeven1960 The Magnificent Seven]]'', which was itself a remake of ''Seven Samurai''.

* HypocriticalHumour: When they first met, Seripas called Ahsoka a "knee-high". A little bit later, we find out that he's a [[LittleGreenManInACan small frog-sized alien]] using a MiniMecha.
* KilledOffForReal: The fate of Rumi Paramita was left a bit ambiguous until Filoni confirmed her death in a Q&A video. A bunch of pirates and a few villagers also lost their lives in the battle.
* KillerRabbit: During the battle against the pirates, Seripas' armor was quickly destroyed. After escaping from it, he still managed to take out one of the pirates, despite being the size of a larger frog.

* MiniMecha: Seripas used one. It was rather [[AwesomeButImpractical useless]].

* NiceHat: Embo has one that doubles as a reference to the traditional Japanese kasa, but it also acts as armor against blaster fire as a result of being made of metal. Then, he goes and uses it as a weapon, like ComicBook/CaptainAmerica's shield.
* ScrewTheMoneyIHaveRules: Sugi refused Hondo's offer of paying the double of what the villagers offered for her gang's protection if they stepped aside, claiming that they don't break deals.
* SimpleStaff: Hondo used an electrostaff in his duel against Anakin.

* WronskiFeint: Anakin pulled one on the Vulture droids chasing their damaged shuttle. Rather than exploiting any superior mobility of their crippled ship, he aims for a rocky outcropping and allows the ship to crash into it, ejecting at the last second.
