16	* AnguishedDeclarationOfLove: And it's much better than in the film.
17	-->'''Anakin:''' I never knew how much I loved you before, how much I cared, and how much it would hurt if I lost you.
18	%%* ArtificialLimbs: Padmé gets one of these.
19	%%* AscendToAHigherPlaneOfExistence: Qui-Gon and maybe [[spoiler:Padmé]].
20	%%* BodyDouble: Sanné is this for Nalanda.
21	* CassandraTruth: [[spoiler:Renust Nju]] knows his betrayal is this and this is why he lets her live, as [[YouWouldntBelieveMeIfIToldYou they wouldn't believe her if she told them]].
22	* CharmPerson: Padmé with the guy at the bar who is trying to hit on her.
23	* CombatPragmatist: Padmé and Anakin talk about this, and this is why [[spoiler:she manages to win their FinalBattle]].
24	%%* ComeOutComeOutWhereverYouAre: [[spoiler:Renust Nju]] when fighting Padmé.

26	* DefiantToTheEnd

28	%%* DiedHappilyEverAfter: [[spoiler:Padmé.]]
29	%%* DiedInYourArmsTonight: [[spoiler:Padmé.]]
30	* DistaffCounterpart: Maxah to Maul, and they both die in the first episode.

37	* EveryoneCanSeeIt: Everyone can see the attraction between Anakin and Padmé (even '''Yoda''') but also knows about the problems with such a relationship.
38	%%* FaceHeelTurn: [[spoiler:Renust Nju]] though this is only implied and we never see it happen.

43	* ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice: When [[spoiler: Renust Nju]] is contained in a cage of lightsabers held together by Yoda, he [[CyanidePill kills himself with his own lightsaber]] and is '''carved up by the blades of the cage'''.

45	%%* LoveEpiphany: During the UnderwaterKiss.

57	* NiceJobBreakingItHero: Subverted, Anakin does this '''on purpose'''.
58	-->"What did you do?" Padmé shouted.\
59	They were hanging on to the back of the speeder as it took a nosedive through the lines of air traffic. Anakin had his free arm around her and for once she didn't mind.\
60	"I disconnected the engines," Anakin replied, though it was almost impossible to hear him.\
61	"You WHAT?" She looked at him incredulously as the ground started to come into view.\
62	"Don't worry," Anakin said with a shrug, "this isn't the first crash landing I've caused."
63	* NobodyThinksItWillWork: Averted, but the only one who doesn't think this way (aside from Anakin) is Nalanda.

74	* WigDressAccent: Padmé in her disguise as one of Nalanda's handmaidens in the first two fan fics.
75	* WouldntHitAGirl: Anakin doesn't fight Padmé fairly because of this [[spoiler:until he is possessed by TheDarkSide and convinced she is against him by Sidious in their FinalBattle]].

90	%%* HeartbrokenBadass: Anakin. And Obi-Wan, though.
91	%%* JustifiedCriminal: Shinai Stel-Ardak.
