12	* ADayInTheLimelight: This arc features Nute Gunray, Luminara Unduli, Jar-Jar Binks, Commander Gree and Padmé Amidala, with series mainstay Ahsoka Tano being the only one of the trio that is Obi-Wan, Anakin and herself to play a major role.
13	* ArcVillain: Nute Gunray is the overarching antagonist of this trilogy, which is kicked-off by his newest attempt to get Padmé murdered, only to get captured himself, continues with his escape, and ends with a WildGooseChase.
14	* TheBadGuyWins: Both "Cloak of Darkness" and "Lair of Grievous" ends with the heroes defeated, although Kit Fisto managed to escape from Grievous.
15	* ForegoneConclusion: Nute Gunray ultimately escapes with his life in this arc, given that he's seen alive and well during ''Revenge of the Sith''.
16	* GreaterScopeVillain: Sidious is not directly involved in this story, since the plot to get Padmé murdered was Gunray's own scheme.
17	* HostageMacguffin: Gunray gets captured by Padmé and Jar Jar, and is arrested by the Jedi. Knowing that the neimodian will squeal under interrogation, Dooku and Palpatine send-in Ventress to either rescue or silence him.
18	* NonActionBigBad: Gunray acts as the main antagonist, but he only has one brief action moment, when he knocks-out Gree from behind, while the clone commander was busy restraining Argyus.
19	* OhCrap: Dooku and Sidious both have a subtle version when they realize that Gunray will no doubt give up the exact identities of his benefactors in short order, should he be properly interrogated.
20	* SavedByCanon: Despite the fact that the plot largely revolves around whether the Separatists should free him to return him to his rightful place in their hierarchy or to silence him and prevent the truth about Sidious from coming out, Nute Gunray comes out of the arc alive and well.
21	* RotatingProtagonist: Each episode pits a different set of heroes and villains against eachother: Padmé, Jar-Jar, 3PO and eventually Onacoda against Gunray, Ahsoka, Luminara and Gree against Ventress and Argyus, and Fisto and Nahdar against Grievous.
