** To carry through with the ''Literature/GulliversTravels'' theme (which also applies to a degree in how the giant hologram on Balnab dwarfs the droids): the shot of the pirate ship cruising in above the drained R2 and 3PO is rather similar to the island of Laputa, and after they get blown out of it into space and make it inside the hangar of the Separatist ship, the ranks of simple-minded battle droids there certainly have a few things in common with the Yahoos.

** The leader from the first planet that the droids come across physically resembles recurring ''WesternAnimation/{{Droids}}'' enemy Sisse Fromm, [[Literature/GulliversTravels albeit scaled down]], and 3PO and R2 are tied down by the Pattitites in manner very similar to Gulliver being tied down by the Lilliputians. In addition, the reaction of the Pattitites when 3PO accidentally knocked R2 over onto their leader, killing him, is rather similar to [[Film/TheWizardOfOz the Winkies after Dorothy melts the Wicked Witch of the West]].

After the relief mission to Aleen is completed, R2-D2 and C-3PO attempt to report in to Padmé via hologram, but are interrupted by a Separatist attack and forced to abandon ship. However, instead of utilizing an escape pod, the two droids commandeer a Y-Wing. Split up from Commander Wolffe and Republic allies, the duo attempt to navigate their way back home.

** 3PO's abilities as a storyteller are brought up twice, first at the start of the episode when he relates to Padmé the events of the previous episode, [[BookEnds and again at the end]] when he starts to tell Wolffe about ''this'' episode's adventures. To judge by [[ThisIsGonnaSuck Wolffe's reaction]], he hasn't yet learned to narrate with sound effects like he will in the future.

* CoolAndUnusualPunishment: To go along with his rather downplayed (and trollish) sense of humor, Plo Koon ducks out on 3PO's incipient story of the droids' adventures, delegating the task to Wolffe.

* GuyInBack: PlayedWith. R2-D2 may be in the Y-Wing's GIB position that astromechs occupy, but he does the actual piloting and shooting since C-3PO knows nothing about either.

* AccidentalMurder: In an attempt to prevent R2-D2 from causing an incident with the Patitites, C-3PO tries to shut him off... and promptly knocks him over on top of the Patitite ruler Hay-Zu, squashing him flat.
Added DiffLines:
* AndThereWasMuchRejoicing: Hay-Zu clearly isn't exactly a kind or just ruler, and suffice to say, the Patitites are hardly broken up over his death. In fact, they're so grateful they fix the droids' ship, then [[YouKillItYouBoughtIt ask C-3PO to be their new leader]].
