When the ultimately tragic story of neverending war that is Warhammer 40,000 and the oftentimes emotional rollercoaster that is Star Wars, you tend to get a few moments that create the waterworks.
- While conversing with the Fulgurite Electro-Priest Current-82 about his faith and the history of the Imperium and the Mechanicus, Ahsoka asks him if his people ever did find peace (in response to him stating the ancient Mechanicum's hope that after discarding AI sciences and adapting human technologies for use without it that they would find peace). The warrior priest of Mars, for the first time, feels the weight and pressure of his augmentations, built for battle and destruction, and provides a response that, despite all of their crimes and cruelty, proves the Mechanicus, and by extension, the Imperium of Man, truly are a broken people that inflict suffering onto other races because that is all they know how to do after thousands of years of fighting seemingly all of existence just for a chance to survive.Fulgurite Electro-Priest Current-82: No. We found that, in the Grim Darkness of our greatest folly, only war awaited us. Only ever war.
- Depa Billaba's final words to Mace Windu as she lays dying before him in Episode 30 are "Don't tell Caleb." For context, she doesn't want Mace to inform her Padawan that she fell under the sway of the Dark Side while fighting Saphran and fatally injured her fellow Jedi Master Jaro Tapal.
- Three Ogryn mourning their Commissar as Lazarus retreats back to the Basilia. For all the Imperium's cruelty, they are still human.
- Omega has managed to defeat the Imperials in several simulations but to do that she has had to sacrifice huge amounts of clones something that makes her very uncomfortable. Noticing this, Nala Se tells Omega that she is performing another simulation when in reality she is commanding the Republic fleet at Axum, so that she won't hesitate to perform the necessary strategy to ensure victory. Omega is unknowingly sending tens maybe hundreds of thousands of her brothers to their deaths.
- Kombirr's reaction to finding his mother's dead body in Episode 37. The poor kid's emotionally devastated, clutching his mother's corpse while shaking and sobbing.
- Farnus's rant at Ahsoka is a truly moving scene, as it reflects not only his own trauma, existential fear, and righteous fury, but that of all of humanity within the 40k galaxy; a galaxy that seems to hold nothing but hatred and pain for them. Both he and the Imperium he serves have been through so much, lost so much, that it's no wonder that they lash out at the other races they way they do. When he ends and Ahsoka responds, with compassion and an attempt at comfort, she sounds like she's on the verge of tears.Farnus: We've killed you! We've killed you on a million, billion worlds, and it still isn't enough for you to just LEAVE US ALONE!!!
- When fighting with Hecate, Obi-Wan makes a comment about how he laid flowers on the grave of the last female opponent he faced that fought as fiercely as her, we get this honest and childish question from her, one that illustrates her mindset as a human weapon and not that of a human being."You think I'll get a grave? Really?"
- Obi-Wan, hearing this, is deeply pained to realize what has been done to his opponent by the Imperium but knows he cannot afford to try and take her captive so she can be healed at his current level of mastery. So, he prepares to end her suffering and offers what little comfort he can."I'll dig it myself."

- Mace's fall to the Dark Side at the end of Episode 42. After seeing hundreds of his Jedi brothers and sisters mowed down by the Imperial war machine after one to many Pedestal Breaking Curb-Stomp Battles, one of which claims the life of his former Padawan, it's really no surprise that Mace has finally cracked under all of the truly horrific things he has witnessed.
- Omega finally finds out about the truth of the simulation after the Mechanicus hack the ship she's on. And it is not pretty.
