* ISurrenderSuckers: Petro does this to a pirate after he, Huyang, Katooni, Byph, and Gungi are smoked out of the ventilation system. He hands his lightsaber (which, thanks to his inexperience, is set to explode when activated) to one of the pirates, who activates it, triggering a (sizeable yet non-lethal) explosion that gives the younglings an opportunity to run for it.

* ChekhovsGun: Huyang tells Petro off for assembling his lightsaber wrong by putting the crystal mount backwards, which means it will explode when activated. Petro later uses this against a pirate.
* {{Cliffhanger}}: Ahsoka is captured by the pirates, with the younglings left drifting in space when this episode ends.
* ContinuousDecompression: Ahsoka's whole plan is based on this: first she orders the kids to seal themselves in the cockpit, and in the hold, then after she reboots the disabled engines, they tear the ship away from Hondo's vessel, rupturing the boarding tube, which causes the pirates to be sucked off the ship by the vacuum.

* ISurrenderSuckers: Petro does this to a pirate after he, Huyang, Katooni, Byph, and Gungi are smoked out of the ventilation system, by handing his lightsaber (which, thanks to his inexperience, is set to explode when activated) and he throws it to the big pirate who then activates and gets blown up (though he survives), which gives the opportunity for the younglings to run for it.

!!This episode provides examples of:

* NiceJobBreakingItHero: Petro talks his friends into launching a counterattack, despite Ahsoka directly forbidding it, after being smoked out. It ultimately achieves nothing, except necessitating Ahsoka to put herself in risk, which results in her capture.

->''"The young are often underestimated."''

After successfully harvesting their crystals, the younglings are taught how to craft their lightsabers by Professor Huyang. However their voyage is soon interrupted by Hondo Ohnaka's greedy pirate gang, who has his eyes set on the valuable lightsaber crystals.

* ActorAllusion: Huyang is called "professor" and he is voiced by none other than Creator/DavidTennant, who was the [[Series/DoctorWho 10th Doctor]].

* DownerEnding: Although the attack on the ship was successfully averted, Ahsoka has been kidnapped after being knocked into Hondo's ship.
