History Recap / StarWarsTheCloneWarsS7E12VictoryAndDeath

* ItIsDehumanizing: When Rex and Ahsoka try to negotiate, Jesse bluntly tells Rex to execute "it". In a similar vein, he refers to Rex by his [[YouAreNumberSix number]] rather than his name while communicating with other clones, something that he protested against during the Umbara arc.

* OhCrap: After Ahsoka tried to decapitate him, Maul takes a few seconds to realize how close he was to losing his head.

* DyingAsYourself: Sadly averted. Rex is the only one to regain his former personality thanks to Ahsoka removing the chip, while the rest of the clones all die BrainwashedAndCrazy.

* DramaticIrony: The clone that charges Rex with treason for disobeying Order 66 is none other than Jesse, who found himself in a similar position where his disobedience against [[GeneralRipper Krell's orders]] led him and Fives to be nearly executed for "treason". Despite Rex's attempts to reason with him, Jesse is too far gone to realize the hypocrisy thanks to the chip. Further, Jesse's signature markings on his armor and face are that of the Republic sigil- a sign that the Republic i tself has turned against the Jedi and the Light.

** Just like the opening narration of "[[Recap/StarWarsTheCloneWarsS2E21R2ComeHome R2 Come Home]]", this episode depicts a Republic star destroyer crash landing on a planet.

** Ahsoka and Rex learn that hyperdrive has been destroyed and that the Star Destroyer has been caught in a gravitational field of a moon. When they open the hangar doors, they see the moon ''covering their entire view and growing larger by the second''. Now they only have minutes to get off the ship.

** After the TimeSkip, Stormtroopers and Snowtroopers populate the now frozen landscape of the crash site much like how the Empire were in [[Film/TheEmpireStrikesBack Hoth]]. If to further the parallels between the scene and the film, Darth Vader appears representing how the Empire has won, defeating the Jedi and the Republic.

* PyrrhicVictory: The titular "victory" of the episode is that Ahsoka and Rex get to make it out alive, but that's it. They fail to save the other clones in spite of their best efforts, who all die indignantly as their attempts to kill Ahsoka and Rex doomed the ''Tribunal''. Meanwhile, Maul escapes and spends about seventeen years serving as a threat in the shadows.

* OhCrap: After Ahsoka tried to decapitated him, Maul takes a few seconds to realize how close he was from losing his head.

* HeadgearHeadstone: Ends with the ''Venator''-class star destroyer crash-landing on the surface of a moon, killing the remaining clone troopers. Before she leaves, Ahsoka buries the fallen troopers and marks their graves by mounting their helmets of pikes. When Darth Vader arrives several years later, the helmets are almost entirely covered in snow.

* SceneryGorn: We get to see the ruins of the crashing Venator in all its unholy glory as Rex and Ahsoka race to the ground.
