* CasualDangerDialog: Plenty of characters have semi casual conversations while in the middle of battle, though Waxer and Boil complaining about always being given the "interesting" jobs while they cross empty battlefield to reach Kenobi's downed ship and talk about how the "fun" part is going to be trying to bring the wounded ''back'' over the same stretch of unprotected ground takes the cake.

* GameBreakingInjury: Obi-Wan's gunship gets shot down, with only he and Waxer surviving long enough to be pulled from the wreckage and he spends the rest of the episode sitting against some crates while trying to help his men with strategy and communications alone. The only time he gets up on his own after being injured is when the landing zone is about to be overrun, and he does so with visible difficulty and pain with the implication he's tapping into the force to allow himself to fight alongside his men, and he lowers himself back down as soon as reinforcements arrive.

* ImOkay: Obi-Wan tells several characters he's not badly hurt or "fine" after being injured, though in context he seems to be saying he's not dying and that others need medical aid before him as he makes no attempt to convince anyone he's not actually injured.

* LastStand: Obi-Wan is quite aware that his outnumbered and outgunned men's surrounded position may turn into a fight to take as many Geonosians down with them as possible if they're overrun, and right before reinforcements arrive he forces himself to his feet with lightsaber in hand to join his men in a hopeless fight when they're about to be overrun.

* OhNoNotAgain: Ahsoka says ''"This is another fine mess you've gotten us into"'' when Anakin leads their group right to the formidable wall fortress he's previously assured her they wouldn't be going anywhere near, though in his defense they were shot down far from where they were meant to land and lost all of their tanks which he did not anticipate.

** When Ahsoka points out a giant wall covered with gun emplacements on the holomap during the briefing at the beginning, Anakin tells her not to worry about it because they won't be going anywhere near. Sure enough, Anakin, Ahsoka, and Rex do end up having to deal with the wall.

* WorstAid: Obi-Wan gets moved around by having his arm slung over someone's shoulders and then being helped to walk by being almost dragged, which is not a good way to get someone with a probable spinal injury around. The first time is excusable as he was being pulled from a dangerous position on the battlefield but there's less excuse for him being moved this way when being evacuated for medical care.

to:

* BackToBackBadasses: Anakin and Ahsoka stand back-to-back to fend off the blasterfire from a pair of Droideka atop the fortress wall.



* CasualDangerDialog: Plenty of characters have semi casual conversations while in the middle of battle, though Waxer and Boil complaining about always being given the "interesting" jobs while they cross empty battlefield to reach Kenobi's downed ship and talk about how the "fun" part is going to be trying to bring the wounded ''back'' over the same stretch of unprotected ground takes the cake.



* ChameleonCamouflage: The members of the 212[[superscript:th]] on this mission have added dots and geometric shapes in the dusty tans and oranges of the Geonosis desert they are to be fighting in to their armor.
* ComingInHot: Several gunships crash land after being badly shot, most notably the one carrying Obi-Wan which crashes more than lands and kills nearly everyone onboard and injures the two survivors, and the one carrying Anakin and Ahsoka which impacts at a lower speed with everyone on board surviving the sliding landing.



* DeflectorShield: The main droid factory is protected by one.

* DeflectorShield: DeflectorShields:
**
The main droid factory is protected by one.a large ray shield Anakin has to take down.
** Anakin and Rex each take down a Droideka by getting their arm through the droids' personal ray shield before activating their weapon.
* DodgeTheBullet: Ki-Adi visibly twitches to the side of a number of shots he doesn't parry back at the Geonosians in the cave.



* FireBreathingWeapon: Ki-Adi has his flametroopers use flamethrowers on the Geonosians attacking them in the caves. It turns out to be a very effective tactic as the Geonosians flee in terror and pain before them.
* GameBreakingInjury: Obi-Wan's gunship gets shot down, with only he and Waxer surviving long enough to be pulled from the wreckage and he spends the rest of the episode sitting against some crates while trying to help his men with strategy and communications alone. The only time he gets up on his own after being injured is when the landing zone is about to be overrun, and he does so with visible difficulty and pain with the implication he's tapping into the force to allow himself to fight alongside his men, and he lowers himself back down as soon as reinforcements arrive.
* GrinOfAudacity: Obi-Wan's group is the only one to reach the landing zone ''mostly'' as intended, though with far higher casualties. As they're holding the LZ against superior numbers, outgunned and surrounded and Cody finally has a minute to talk to his general after Waxer and Boil were able to pull Obi-Wan from the remains of his gunship Obi-Wan assures Cody that Generals Skywalker and Mundi will make it there and they just need to try to still be alive when they arrive with a little lopsided grin.
* HighAltitudeBattle: The three generals on the ground the episode follows are not the only ones involved in the planetary scale invasion, and Admiral Yularen is shown to be holding his own fight to protect his flagship from fighters high in the atmosphere, explaining why air support is mostly unavailable.
* HoldingYourShoulderMeansInjury: Characters don't hold their shoulders in this episode, but every injured character—Obi-Wan, Trapper & Ki-Adi—reaches across their torso to hold their side, in all cased implied to be due to internal injuries from bad landings.
* ImOkay: Obi-Wan tells several characters he's not badly hurt or "fine" after being injured, though in context he seems to be saying he's not dying and that others need medical aid before him as he makes no attempt to convince anyone he's not actually injured.



* LastStand: Obi-Wan is quite aware that his outnumbered and outgunned men's surrounded position may turn into a fight to take as many Geonosians down with them as possible if they're overrun, and right before reinforcements arrive he forces himself to his feet with lightsaber in hand to join his men in a hopeless fight when they're about to be overrun.
* ManOnFire: The Geonosians set alight by flamethrowers do not die instantly and are shown fleeing and dying before Ki-Adi as the group exits the caves. The horrific spectacle of the on fire Geonosians falling out of the sky and crawling from the caves it what alerts Anakin to Ki-Adi's position right before the Republic forces exit.
* TheMedic: The medic at the landing zone is incredibly busy due to the fact that the Geonosians were waiting for them and shot down most of their ships, and then just kept shooting. Even though his general is badly injured he isn't shown to have enough time to do more than give him a quick painkiller before moving on to more badly wounded soldiers.



* {{Newsreel}}: Like all ''The Clone Wars'' episodes "Landing at Point Rain" opens with a bombastic bit framed like a Republic propaganda newsreel;
''[[center:[[AC:"Counterattack! \\
With the clone army stretched \\
in desperate attempt to engage General Grievous' Starfleet, \\
Separatist planets that were once thought secure are\\
now rising up against the Republic.\\
On Geonosis, Separatist leader Poggle the Lesser, \\
safe in his newly ray-shielded factories, \\
creates thousands of terrible new weapons \\
which march off the assembly line \\
against the outnumbered clone army.\\
\\
The Jedi, resolute in the effort to restore order to the Republic,\\
mount a massive invasion to retake Geonosis \\
and shut down Poggle's factories once and for all…."]]]]''
* NoseArt: Several of the gunships are customized with logos and figures, including one with a stylized [[PantheraAwesome Nexu]] riding a bomb that says "Badkitty" in Aurebesh and one with a red outlined clone trooper's helmet stylized to bring a skull to mind with the words "Separatist Nightmare" (amusingly, given the clones' genetic template was a self professed Mandalorian, the first and most clear letters of which look like "vod" using the English alphabet, meaning sibling/comrade in Mando'a).
* OhNoNotAgain: Ahsoka says ''"This is another fine mess you've gotten us into"'' when Anakin leads their group right to the formidable wall fortress he's previously assured her they wouldn't be going anywhere near, though in his defense they were shot down far from where they were meant to land and lost all of their tanks which he did not anticipate.
* OutrunTheFireball: Anakin, Ahsoka and Rex jump (or in the latter's case are thrown) off the wall in order to avoid being blown up with it.
* ParryingBullets: Ki-Adi, Anakin and Ahsoka deflect blaster fire in front of their men to protect themselves and give cover to their troops. Obi-Wan is too injured and his men's position to wide to do the same, though he does get up to do so when their position is about to be overrun.
* PinnedDown: Anakin's detachment of the 501[[superscript:st]] gets pinned down and unable to move from cover when they try to pass the fortress wall. Anakin, Ahsoka and to their surprise Rex have to rapell up the cliff wall from a hidden spot and take out the wall before the 501[[superscript:st]] can move.
* SelfDeprecation: When Cody hesitantly says that the Geonosians trying to kill Obi-Wan with monsters must have been entertaining Obi-Wan replies that it was, for them.



* SoleSurvivor: Obi-Wan and Trapper are ultimately the only two survivors of their gunship being shot down, though Obi-Wan's line when rescued from the wreck by Waxer and Boil makes it clear there were others to survive the initial crash, only to expire of their injuries before the 212th could send anyone to pull survivors out.
* StandYourGround: As Obi-Wan's 212th is the only group to actually arrive at the landing zone on time and has no good way to retreat anyway their mission is to simply hold their ground against the overwhelming forces they find waiting for them there, with the hopes that the other two generals will arrive and turn the tide before they're wiped out.
* StuffBlowingUp: Anakin and Ahsoka toss a couple of backpacks full of explosives into the fortress wall, and then shove it further in with the force before setting it off resulting in the almost complete destruction of the wall, and the utter destruction of its defenses, in a large explosion.



** A clone trooper, just before the gunship he's travelling in is shot down: "Good thing those bugs can't aim."

to:

** A clone trooper, just before the gunship he's travelling traveling in is shot down: "Good thing those bugs can't aim.""
* ThisIsGonnaSuck: Waxer and Boil once again regret being considered among the best in Ghost Company, when they're asked to cross the battlefield to see if there are any survivors on Obi-Wan's ship.
* TrackingShot: Anakin is followed without breaks as he runs through the shield and close enough to the generator to find cover and start the attack.
* TrickBomb: Anakin and Ahsoka use droid poppers to disable the Geonosians' scanners during the final assault on the shield generator to allow their own tanks a clear shot.



* VerticalKidnapping: When Ki-Adi's group starts making their way through the cave Geonosians dive in and grab a couple of his troopers and then fly off to carry them to their presumed deaths away from the rest of the group so that they cannot be rescued. At least one of Anakin's troopers in the final assault is also nabbed and flown away by a Geonosian
* WarIsHell: While multiple characters crack jokes to stave off the tragedy surrounding them everyone in this episode is beaten down by the war and many are killed or wounded.

* ZergRush: The Geonosians in the cave try to take on Ki-Adi by rushing him with their superior numbers. This does not work well against a Jedi backed by troopers carrying flamethrowers, and while they kill a few of Ki-Adi's men the Geonosians are slaughtered.
