Star Wars - Television Tropes & Idioms

alt title(s): Return Of The Jedi; The Empire Strikes Back; A New Hope; Revenge Of The Sith; Attack Of The Clones; The Phantom Menace

A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away...

— Star Wars opening card

A classic tale of good and evil, corruption and redemption, hi-tech super-weapons and swordplay, Star Wars brought Space Opera to the big screen. It is a juggernaut of a franchise, making creator George Lucas one of the most powerful men financially and in entertainment.

The Original Trilogy (1977-1983)

Episode 4: A New Hope
Episode 5: The Empire Strikes Back
Episode 6: Return of the Jedi

Opening with a tale of a brave rebellion fighting the evil empire, the story centered on Luke Skywalker, a simple farm boy who finds himself drawn into that conflict when some robot buddies show up at his doorstep with some important information. As he embarks on The Heros Journey, it encompasses three films and meets many now-legendary characters like Princess Leia, the Lovable Rogue Han Solo and the Old Master Obi-Wan Kenobi.

With guidance from Obi-Wan and later Yoda, Luke learned the mystic powers of the Jedi and brought down The Empire. Along the way, he discovered that Darth Vader, The Dragon of the Emperor. was his father, and the love-interest Princess was his sister.

The Prequel Trilogy (1999-2005)

Episode 1: The Phantom Menace
Episode 2: Attack of the Clones
Episode 3: Revenge of the Sith

The second trilogy to be released was chronologically the first. Essentially an extended prequel, it centered on Luke's father, Anakin Skywalker, and his growth from a young slave on a remote planet into a powerful Jedi Knight. It showed how Senator/Chancellor Palpatine (the Big Bad of the Original Trilogy) gained supreme power through complex schemes, and Anakin's corruption at his hands. It also showed Obi-Wan's story in training Anakin and the fall of the Jedi Order, with Obi-Wan and Yoda becoming the last of their kind.

Lucas has long argued that the prequel's story existed in some form or another from the beginning of the saga, as the films featured the subtitles, Episode IV-VI (although the subtitle "Episode IV" wasn't in the first Star Wars film until its 1981 video re-release). A New Hope and a few elements of the original trilogy also make slightly more sense when seen against the backstory in the prequels, though others... don't. The original trilogy was released to theaters again in 1997 for the 20th Anniversary, featuring a few new special effects, cleaning up a few perceived Special Effects Failures, added some deleted scenes and tweaked some original scenes.

A third trilogy, consisting of Episodes VII, VIII and IX, was reportedly planned, but Word Of God claims it won't happen. Unless George Lucas should change his mind again. They wouldn't make sense from a narrative standpoint, though; even though IV, V and VI spent more time focusing on Luke, Leia and Han, Darth Vader was still their central character, just as he is for the Prequel Trilogy. Ultimately, the saga is about Anakin Skywalker: his growth, his fall from grace, and his eventual redemption by his son.

Expanded Universe

As expected for a film series this popular, the Expanded Universe is immense. Made-For-TV films, Animated Adaptations, Video Games and a large series of novels cover this. Even with how massive the project is, Star Wars has one of the more elaborate, and internally consistent canons. TV Tropes has a very incomplete list of the Star Wars Expanded Universe. See Wookieepedia

for a really complete list.

Star Wars was itself inspired by 1930s serials and comic strips such as Flash Gordon and Buck Rogers. It was particularly inspired by Asimov's Foundation, most manifested in the Imperial capital of Coruscant and the concept of the Empire itself (generally, the influence is visible in the original trilogy, to which Asimov was an adviser). Most of its tropes are thus Older Than They Think, but the film did popularise them, and many modern Space Opera or Sci Fi shows and movies contain homages to Star Wars.

Tropes popularized and/or named by the Star Wars Universe:

A Long Time Ago In A Galaxy Far Far Away
The Dog Shot First
Dont Think Feel: "Feel don't think" originally.
The Dark Side
- Drunk On The Dark Side
- Turn To The Dark Side
Earth Shattering Kaboom: If anything can destroy a planet with a laser, it will likely be at least nicknamed a Death Star.
Elegant Weapon For A More Civilized Age
George Lucas Throwback
I Am Your Father
Luke I Named Your Index
No OSHA Compliance: Gaw, the Star Wars universe has some real safety hazards.
The Obi Wan
Summer Blockbuster (the Trope Codifier, along with Steven Spielberg's Jaws)
Thats No Moon: It's a Space Station!
Wretched Hive: Of scum and villainy

Other Tropes featured in the Star Wars universe:

Adventure Rebuff (Yoda's initial response to Luke)
Agony Beam (Force Lightning)
Aliens Speaking English (well, Basic)
Alternate Character Interpretation (Palpatine's forsight predicted the arrival of a dangerous alien empire later in the Expanded Universe to attack the galaxy, and created the empire with the goal of having such a fierce military power to stand a chance at fighting back.)
Always Save The Girl (Anakin, you well-intentioned idiot! Not to mention A New Hope, it didn't cause immediate change in the galaxy like Anakin's tale did, but it certainly laid the foundation)
The Apple Falls Far (It's a long way down from Cloud City in The Empire Strikes Back; and a lightsaber goes a long way down a shaft in The Phantom Menace.)
Archetype (Luke is literally a textbook hero, designed right out of the book The Hero With A Thousand Faces.)
Ascended Extra (With how much Expanded Universe material is being written, we're well on our way to every single background character from the films getting names and thorough backstories.)
Ascend To A Higher Plane Of Existence (It's happening to force users left and right, you think someone would find a way to get rid of them.)
The Atoner (Kyp Durron)
Attack Pattern Alpha
At The Opera Tonight
Author Catchphrase ("I've got a bad feeling about this.")
Awesome Moment Of Crowning (end of A New Hope)
Badass (lots and lots of characters)
Badass Army: The Jedi and Sith armies when they aren't being put through Imperial Stormtrooper Marksmanship Academy.
Bare Your Midriff (Leia, Amidala, and others, all in different ways.
The Battlestar
Beard Of Evil (Thrackan Sal-Solo has one)
Being Watched (Jedi can detect being watched)
Big No (Practically a third of all dialogue.)
- Star Wars is indirectly the Trope Namer for Do Not Want because of how an infamous Chinese bootleg subtitled Vader's Big No in Revenge of the Sith.
Bilingual Dialogue (Han and Chewie, R2 and everybody else)
Bizarre Alien Biology (Several near-human or rubber-forehead species, as described in the Expanded Universe)
Bizarre Sexual Dimorphism (Devaronians in the EU; males are bald and have horns, females are hornless and furry)
- Don't forget X'Ting, who change gender every three years.
Body Horror: If you want to picture some seriously messed up stuff, research the Bo'Marr Monks and what they did to Bib Fortuna.
Broken Base (There is a schism between fans who insist that the original trilogy is the best and that the prequels can piss-off, and the fans who believe that the entire series is good. )
- More generally, there is a related but not identical schism between pro-Lucas and anti-Lucas fans.
Canon Fodder (despite the Expanded Universe, or maybe because of it)
Casual Interstellar Travel
Charm Person (the Jedi Mind Trick.)
Chekhovs Skill: Played straight in Episode IV: Luke trained with the blast shield covering his eyes, using the force to see the drone. He then covered his eyes on purpose, to destroy the Death Star.
Circle Of Extinction (Reversed, somewhat. Anakin circles Palpatine as the latter tempts him to do a Face Heel Turn)
Cluster K Bomb (Moff Disra from the EU has a foul mouth.
Cold Blooded Torture: Vader's torture of Princess Leia in the first movie, and later Han Solo in the second. The Emperor's use of electrical torture on Luke would also count. It gets worse, if you weren't intimidated by the sight of an interrogator droid (from the first movie) before, look them up. Apparently all their fancy little implements have names, and these droids are specifically programmed to analyze physical and chemical weaknesses in their victims in order to better torture them.
Collectible Card Game
Colour Coded For Your Convenience (In space battles, Rebel lasers are red, and Imperial lasers are green. In the prequels, Republic shots were blue, Separatist shots were red. Also, only Sith are allowed to carry red lightsabers.)
- Last time this troper checked, neither Adi Gallia nor Leia Solo were Sith.
  - The lightsaber thing only applies in the moves, the EU, especially the games don't follow it
  - The in-universe explanation is that after Order 66 most of the traditions and specific practices of the Jedi were forgotten. So the blue/green standard was a time-period thing. (But also of course used thematically.)
Come Out Come Out Wherever You Are (Luke hiding from Vader during their final battle.)
Continuity Drift
Cool Old Guy
Cool Starship (Each film introduces at least one.)
- Ep. I: N-1 Starfighter
  - ...and the Republic Cruiser.
- Ep. II: Republic Gunship and Jedi Starfighter
- Ep. III: Jedi Interceptor and Invisible Hand
- Ep. IV: X-Wing and Millenium Falcon
  - ...and the Death Star.
  - ...and Darth Vader's TIE.
- Ep. V: Executor and Slave I
- Ep. VI: Lambda-class Shuttle
  - ...and the other Death Star.
  - Also, pretty much every Star Destroyer, from the Imperator, to the Acclamator, to the Venator, to the various Super Star Destroyers, to the EU-only Victory.
Crouching Moron Hidden Badass (compare Yoda as we first meet him in Episode V and his duel with Palpatine)
Crystal Dragon Jesus (The Force)
Crystal Spires And Togas
Crowning Moment Of Awesome (too many to list here, check out its page. One thing to note, Lucas has frequently made it clear that the movies are not exactly as he envisioned, but he was never disappointed with the music.)
Crowning Music Of Awesome
Dangerously Genre Savvy (Palpatine)
Death By Childbirth (Padme)
Death By Sex (The H'nemthe)
Decade Dissonance (A bit of a clash between the Prequel's and the original trilogies' style for technology)
Delayed Explosion
Designated Hero (Anakin was supposed to be a good guy before he became Darth Vader, however he is cocky and arrogant at his best points in the second and third movie. And don't forget his advocating a dictatorship and mass-murder from the second movie)
- To be fair, he was a war hero to the Republic. There are many real life war heroes who held questionable beliefs or were otherwise not actually nice people, but that's not what they are remembered for.
Development Gag (Usually shows up in character names.)
Died Happily Ever After (Darth Vader in Return of the Jedi, along with Yoda and Obi-Wan)
Doesnt Like Guns (Obi Wan, who considers blasters inelegant and uncivilized)
The Dog Shot First (That damned Cantina scene...)
Doing In The Wizard (Midichlorians)
- Not really. The Artusian crystals from Jedi Outcast, on the other hand...
Downer Ending: All films except A New Hope had something to be depressed about in the end-
- The Empire Strikes Back- The Empire storms the Rebellion's hidden base and drives the entire Rebel fleet into hiding, Luke gets his hand cut off after finding out that Darth Vader is his father, and Han Solo gets frozen in carbonite after confessing his love to Leia.
- Return of the Jedi- Darth Vader does a Heel Face Turn and is then killed, somewhat eclipsed by the Empire going belly up and the galaxy being freed.
- The Phantom Menace- The protagonist Qui-Gon Jinn is killed in a climactic fight that only served as proof that an ancient evil still existed, also eclipsed by an ending celebration.
- Attack of the Clones- Featured a Jedi massacre and the start of the Clone Wars.
  Yoda:Victory? Victory you say? Master Obi-Wan, not victory. The shroud of the dark side has fallen. Begun the Clone War has.
- Revenge of the Sith- Drops a ton of bombs on us. Palpatine orders the clone troopers to turn on the Jedi, and the genocide begins. Anakin falls completely to the dark side and becomes Darth Vader after sustaining grievous injuries in a fight with Obi-Wan. Padme dies, orphaning newborns Luke and Leia Skywalker. And Palpatine takes full control of the government and declares the Empire in one of the most chilling speeches in cinematic history.
The Drag Along (C-3P0 fills this niche like a glove in every movie)
Dual Wielding: General Grievous takes this to the extreme... quad wielding.
- Also, Anakin in Episode II and III for about 4 seconds in both fights with Dooku.
The Dulcinea Effect (Luke, that is - he opts to rescue Leia on the strength of little more than her Hologram image.)
Dull Surprise (Although there are arguably some instances of it in the original trilogy too, this is taken to new levels in the prequels)
- Fridge Brilliance : Jedi are trained from birth to repress emotion.
  - It looked more like something else, especially with Christensen and Porman, but I guess we'll have to give them the benefit of a doubt.
The Dutiful Son (Or daughter in this case. Luke seems to think Leia is this, being in the Rebellion while he was on Tatooine)
Elite Mooks (The Storm Troopers, and the Super Battledroids from the prequel trilogy)
Emotions Vs Stoicism (Why Jedi are good and Sith are evil, though in the Expanded Universe, stoicism is treated a bit less kindly, as the New Jedi Order by Luke is less rigid.)
Ensemble Darkhorse: With the amount of time Star Wars has been around, there have been many, but fewer so than Boba Fett, whose death in Return of the Jedi was eventually changed so that he survived falling into the Sarlaac Pit.
- Also, Wedge Antilles, who went from a single appearance in the first film to appearing in all three of the original trilogy and considerable EU following. The X-Wing series, anyone?
Everythings Better With Princesses (Leia)
Evil Overlooker (many Star Wars posters)
Excuse Me Coming Through (In The New Jedi Order, one of Han Solo's security droids invokes this trope almost by name while carrying a live thermal detonator.
Expanded Universe (One of the first major ones)
Famous Last Words (Too many to list)
Fanfare (The iconic opening music)
Feudal Future
Field Promotion (Darth Vader's iconic scenes.)
Finger Poke Of Doom (The first clue to how Badass Vader is.)
Finish Him (Palpatine to Anakin in Revenge Of The Sith; Palpatine to Luke in Return of the Jedi)
First Installment Wins (for two decades, almost three, there were no prequels)
Fish People (Kit Fisto and the Gungans in the prequels, as well as the Aqualish, Mon Calimari, and Quarren)
Five Man Band (Luke is The Hero, Han's The Lancer, R2 and 3PO trade off being The Smart Guy, Chewie's The Big Guy, and Leia is The Chick. Well, sometimes. Threepio is sometimes The Chick, Leia can be very proactive in some scenes.)
Flaw Exploitation (Anakin/Vader's love for his family)
Floating Head Syndrome (on the most recent DVDs)
Follow The Leader (Inspired so many)
Friendly Target (Biggs.)
Fungus Humongous (The planet Felucia, where Aayla Secura was killed during Order 66.)
Gang Of Critters (Ewoks)
Giving Someone The Pointer Finger (Darth Vader)
GoGo Enslavement Leia's treatment by Jabba in Return of the Jedi is a famous example of this
Good Old Ways
Go Out With A Smile (Anakin's farewell to Luke.)
The Greatest Story Never Told (Every year there is an additional story in the Expanded Universe set during or around the movies, lately The Clone Wars.)
Green Eggs - BLUE MILK!
Harmony Versus Discipline (The Force = The Way of Harmony and The Dark Side = The Path of Discipline, in theory with Jedi trying to be one with the Force and the Sith trying to control it by channeling their desires. In practise the Jedi believe in only using The Force with a helping of self control, while The Sith wants domination through Discipline, which they practice through unchecked desires and rage)
Heroic BSOD (Luke gets this. "No...that's not true! That's impossible!")
Hollywood Tactics - it's made of this trope.
Homage
Honor Before Reason (Played straight and without irony: When it was the logical thing to not even entertain the possibility of decency in Darth Vader, Luke did the honorable thing by loving him, having faith in him, and thus saving him.)
Human Aliens (aka near-human aliens, some of which have a common ancestry)
Humanoid Aliens
Humongous Mecha - the AT-series walkers in the films, and various types of droids such as EVS Construction Droids in the Expanded Universe.
The Hyena - Salacious Crumb. You know, that creepy little monkey thing that sits next to Jabba the Hutt.
Imperial Stormtrooper Marksmanship Academy (Partial Trope Namer; the Stormtroopers were infamously terrible shots)
Impossibly Cool Weapon (About half the weapons in the movies, but the lightsabers and the Death Stars get special note.)
Impractically Fancy Outfit - Amidala's clothes.
Incest Is Relative - Luke did not know. Leia apparently "always knew"...creepy.
In The Blood (In this case, it's Midichlorians and Evil)
Internet Backdraft (Depending on what SW forums you go to, mentioning the prequels could start a war)
Is That What He Told You
Its A Small World After All
Jacob Marley Warning (Vader to Luke)
Jedi Mind Trick
Karma Houdini (Vader)
Kick The Dog (the destruction of Alderaan)
- Also, Order 66, which feels like it crosses the line even further (despite actually being a few orders of magnitude less severe) thanks to excellent editing. And the fact that the victims were actually seen, while the destruction of Alderaan killed off nameless masses that were never seen by the viewers.
Kill Sat (the Death Star)
Large Ham (Just about the entire cast at times, but primarily Palpatine, Jabba, and of course BRIAN BLESSED.)
The Last DJ: In Episode I a young Obi-Wan hints that Qui Gon is this character type.
Least Common Skin Tone (There are precisely two black people in the original trilogy: Lando, and Grizz Fix, an X-wing pilot who gets a quarter second of screen time (dying) in Jedi. The prequels are slightly better about this. Slightly. Blue skin is still more common than black, but at least there's Mace Windu, the galaxy's biggest badass, among the black characters.)
Lego Crossover Game
A Light In The Distance: C-3PO, lost on Tattooine, sees light glinting off a Jawa sandcrawler and concludes that he's saved.
Lights Off Their Eyes: C-3PO in Empire Strikes Back.
Love Makes You Evil (Anakin)
Love Redeems (Darth Vader)
Made Of Phlebotinum (Star Wars could nominally be considered this trope, especially a planet like Coruscant, for example. Hyperdrive, the force, levitating vehicles, laser weapons...there wouldn't be much left to this 'verse if you subtracted the Phlebotinum.)
Memetic Mutation (Just about everything. These films have one of the highest degree of quotes per movie ever.)
Admiral Ackbar: "It's a trap!"
Mentor Occupational Hazard
A Million Is A Statistic
Mind Over Manners (Jedi's responsible use of their suggestion and telepathy powers)
Misguided Missile
Narm (Various scenes, sometimes Your Mileage May Vary)
Neck Lift
Nice Job Breaking It Hero (Luke shoots a control panel to lock a door.)
Leia: "Quick! Find the controls that extend the bridge."
Luke: "I think I just blasted it..."
No Mr Bond I Expect You To Dine (dinner with Vader in Cloud City)
No OSHA Compliance: Definitely shown during the lightsaber duel on Bespin, why anyone would work there is anyone's guess.
Not Now Bernard: C-3PO, especially in the EU.
Not So Different (Luke and Vader)
Not Wearing Tights (The Jedi Order)
Old Master: Of course, being a sci-fi film that borrows heavily from classical myth, it isn't surprising that Homer's creation made its way to Star Wars.
Ominous Latin Chanting (Variation: John Williams' Duel of the Fates is not actually Latin, but definitely ominous chanting.)
The Paid For Harem (The slave girls in Jabba's palace were a literal paid for harem, since he owned them)
Papa Wolf (Vader, of all people. You know where.)
Pintsized Powerhouse (Yoda)
Planet Ville
People Jars
Pet The Dog (The Rancor keeper's inconsolable reaction to Luke killing the monster in Jedi, although more played for laughs, it managed to garner a bit more sympathy than expected)
- In an book of short stories about the various denizens of Jabba's palace, the poor rancor keeper just wanted to leave Jabba's palace with his dear pet rancor and find a nice play to live with his bloodthirsty friend. Until that damned Jedi had to show up and ruin everything...
Pimped Out Dress (Amidala has loads of them.)
Plot Driven Breakdown (The hyperdrive on the Falcon always fails just in the nick of time in The Empire Strikes Back)
Politically Incorrect Villain: Much of the Imperial Brass. Palpatine himself is not necessarily, if only because he probably sees everyone as pawns.
Power Levels (The infamous "midichlorian count" for measuring Force talent introduced in The Phantom Menace.)
The Purge (Palpatine's infamous Order 66)
Pursued Protagonist (Leia in the opening of A New Hope)
Putting On The Reich (Many officials of The Empire.)
Ray Gun (Blasters and the turbo lasers)
Redemption Equals Death (Darth Vader)
Red Shirt: Luke's wingmen in the original trilogy seemed to get killed if an Imperial so much as sneezes.
Retired Badass (Yoda and Obi-wan)
Rescued From Purgatory Rescuing Han Solo in "Jedi"
Ribcage Ridge: The Krayt dragon bones in A New Hope when C3-P0 and R2-D2 are walking through the desert and Star Wars The Clone Wars
Right In Front Of Me (Luke and Yoda; also Qui-Gon and Amidala)
Rocket Ride The Speeder Bikes
Rubber Forehead Aliens (Twi'lek, Cereans, Chevs, Zabrak, Khommites, etc.)
Rule Of Cool (Lightsabers are the epitome of this trope.)
- Rumor has it that this trope is the main reason why Mace Windu has a purple lightsaber, because Samuel L. Jackson thought it looked cool. (Also so that he would be visible in a huge lightsaber battle.) Also note that said lightsaber is the only one used in the movie canon that is not red, blue or green.
  - This fact is lampshaded by General Grievous in the Revenge of the Sith video game.
  "Who fights with a purple lightsaber anyway?"
Samuel L Jackson (since he asked...)
- This is best exemplified in Shatterpoint.
The Scrappy (Jar-Jar)
See The Whites Of Their Eyes ("Yes, I said closer! Move as close as you can, and engage those Star Destroyers at point-blank range!")
Sequelitis (technically, prequelitis)
Serkis Folk (In the prequels.)
Shout Out (There's actually a few shout outs to the Oz books. Namely Princess Leia's hairbuns which are based on Princess Ozma's hair poppys and the Ewoks are based on the Teddy Bear tribe.)
Sidekick Ex Machina (Chewbacca)
Sinister Geometry (The Death Star, the Imperial Star Destroyers.)
Space Jews (Watto is the trope image)
Stab The Sky (The poster for A New Hope)
Starfish Aliens
Standard Time Units
Stealth In Space (cloaking devices in the Expanded Universe; Han's successful attempts at hiding from Star Destroyers in The Empire Strikes Back)
Storming The Castle (the assault on both Death Stars)
Supernatural Martial Arts (a lot of the Force powers)
Survival Mantra
Takahashi Couple: Han and Leia
Take Off Every Zig: The ships launching for the battle of Yavin.
Taking You With Me: The doomed A-wing pilot flying his own ship into the bridge of the Executor in ROTJ.
Tastes Like Friendship (Leia and Wicket the Ewok)
Tear Jerker (Revenge Of The Sith contains the most heartbreaking use of John Williams' "The Force Theme", as the Greatest Warrior in the Galaxy could only watch helplessly as a young mother dies, holding her orphaned babies in his arms. You do not have a heart if it didn't break at this moment.)
- Again: Order 66.
Tell Me About My Father
Terms Of Endangerment
Throwing Your Sword Always Works (especially when you have telekinetic powers)
- subverted in its first appearance (episode VI), when Vader totally misses.
The Obi Wan
The Three Faces Of Adam (Anakin and Luke both start out as the Hunter, with each trilogy detailing their evolution to Lord.)
Thirty Xanatos Pileup (innumerable)
Token Evil Teammate (Han in Episode IV.)
- Han wasn't really that evil for a token evil teammate; the EU has a hundred better examples, such as HK-47.
Took A Level In Badass (Luke, once on Dagobah, again between episode V and VI. Anakin in the prequels.)
Too Much Of A Good Thing
Tracking Device (planted on the Millennium Falcon in the first movie)
Tragic Hero (Anakin Skywalker/Darth Vader is a textbook example of this trope)
Training From Hell
Unfortunate Implications (Padme's lack of concern for her boyfriend's genocidal tendencies shown in Episode II seems to imply that for this supposedly ethical politician mass murder isn't too bad when it involves the death of women and children of a tribe of primitive desert nomads.)
Unfortunate Names
Voice Of The Legion
Wave Motion Gun (the Death Star superlaser)
Well Excuse Me Princess (Leia)
With Friends Like These (R2-D2 and C-3P0, though the Bilingual Dialogue means we don't know just how much hostility R2 reciprocates, though occasionally C-3P0 quotes him: "Don't call me a 'mindless philosopher'...")
- In the EU, when R2 communicates by comlink, we find out that yes, he hits back just as well as he takes it.
Wuxia : One of the genres that inspired the franchise.
- Particularly form III Soresu◊. Or So I Heard.
Xanatos Gambit / Xanatos Roulette (Palpatine)
- Better yet, there's an Expanded Universe character actually called Xanatos.
  - He's better at being Out Gambitted. though.
You Are In Command Now (Trope Namer...congratulations on your promotion, Admiral Piett...)
You Have Failed Me (Trope Namer again; see previous trope for an example)
Zerg Rush (The Empire's TIE Fighters, at least in the Expanded Universe.)
- In the films as well. They are described as "short range", get killed in one hit and "There's - Too many of them!"
