Added DiffLines:

* The entire confrontation between Yoda and Dooku is this, from verbal sparring to the literal kind.
** When the confrontation gets physical, a furious Dooku goes immediately for the kill. After using the Force to throw an innocent bystander out a window to distract Yoda, the Count whips out his blade and lands two cuts on the Jedi Master.
** Once Yoda gains his bearings, the fight rapidly becomes a stalemate... and then shifts decisively, inexorably to Yoda's favor, with Dooku giving ground despite Vjun being a nexus of dark side energy.
* ''Any'' of Scout's fights counts as one of these, as they portray her roles as the GuileHero, TheDeterminator, and CombatPragmatist. But best of all is her fight with Padawan [[JerkassWoobie Hanna Ding]] which serves as a much deserved BreakTheHaughty moment.
** It's somewhat mitigated, though, when you learn that Hanna was only acting that way because she secretly feared she would die if she ever left the Temple.
* A villainous moment, arguably even a tearjerker: At one point, [[BadBoss Dooku]] uses the dark side to make a defiant [[HeroKiller Asajj Ventress]] beg for mercy... by ''lifting a finger''.
* Another villainous example, but even more subtle: at one point, [[InsufferableGenius Dooku]] is musing on the state of the Clone Wars and condescendingly concludes that Darth Sidious's schemes are [[ComplexityAddiction unnecessarily convoluted]]. Then, as if on cue, he gets a phone call from the galaxy's ultimate BadBoss.
** As Sidious updates Dooku on the Count's latest failure, [[BreaktheHaughty a terrified Dooku]] muses "the faint condescension with which he had been thinking of his Master spilled from him like blood from an open vein."
* Jai Maruk gets an incredible DyingMomentOfAwesome when he decides to FaceDeathWithDignity and not fall to the Dark Side, even though he'll die anyway and no one will ever know. Ventress' fight with him is also pretty awesome throughout.
* Yoda vs. about twenty assassin droids specifically modified to fight Jedi. Yoda wins. For a while, ''without his lightsaber.''
