* BatmanGambit: The obscure Naboo law against wearing the same clothes twice is not the immediate basis by which Palpatine gets taken out by the Jedi Council before he can fulfill his entire plan, especially since the penalty for breaking it is a mere 100 hours of community service. However, the fact that Padme had confronted him with the charges, went through a very meticulous go over through all of the law's intricacies and verification that none of the listed exemptions of said laws were applicable, ''and'' the fact that Mace Windu was standing right there for such a small thing which tipped off Palpatine that the Council was suspicious of him being Darth Sidious -- all of this took everything Palpatine had to keep his composure as he left to perform the charged community service. Then Jar Jar speaks up and innocently invites him to living among the Gungans, causing Palpatine to snap and giving Mace the excuse to fight him openly.

* ForWantOfANail: In both fics, one of these comes into play. Mostly played for laughs.
** "The Chips Didn't Work": The Kaminoans oversold the effectiveness of the chips which control the clones. As such, they failed to carry out Order 66.
** "Palpatine is Arrested For Fashion Crimes": The Jedi discover Palpatine is a Sith, so nail him early with Padme's help.

* PaperThinDisguise: Employed unsuccessfully by When Darth Sidious checks in on the clones after issuing Order 66, he discovers that they've used LoopholeAbuse to avoid following his orders. All of their Jedi generals are standing right next to them in plain sight, while only making minimal efforts to disguise themselves (or none at all) as the clones snarkily insist that he’s mistaking innocent bystanders for Jedi and that they did execute Order 66. Sidious isn’t fooled in the least, and the clones aren't putting much effort into fooling him, while several of the Jedi and played for laughs.can't keep from laughing. Some of the highlights include putting a mustache on Aayla and a hat on Plo Koon.

--> ''"Of course this isn't General Secura, my Lord,” Commander Bly said, gesturing to his side. “General Secura doesn’t have a mustache.” Sidious glanced incredulously between the clone and the twi'lek beside him, whose ridiculous set of spectacles, peach nose that stuck out from her natural blue tone, and yes, dark mustache – did nothing to hide her identity. "Twi'leks do not have mustaches!” he snarled back. "She has a condition," Bly said, unperturbed.''

''Palpatine is the Worst and deserves to have his plans, day, and life ruined'' is a series of oneshot fanfics written by Peppermint_Shamrock in which Palpatine's attempts to take over the galaxy go wrong in hilarious fashion. So far, there are two fics in the series: "The Chips Didn't Work" and "Palpatine Is Arrested for Fashion Crimes".

!! This series provides examples of the following tropes:

* CrackFic: The premise of the fics. "Palpatine Is Arrested..." takes the concept on which it is based fairly seriously, however.
* FakingTheDead: By some of the Jedi in "The Chips Didn't Work", including Jaro Tapal and Ki-Adi Mundi. Intentionally quite badly.
* ForWantOfANail: In both fics, one of these comes into play. Mostly played for laughs.
** "The Chips Didn't Work": The Kaminoans oversold the effectiveness of the chips which control the clones.
** "Palpatine is Arrested For Fashion Crimes": The Jedi discover Palpatine is a Sith and nail him early with Padme's help.
* JusticeByOtherLegalMeans: In "Palpatine Is Arrested...", since the Sith aren't ''technically'' illegal, the Jedi don't have anything to get Palpatine for...so Padme suggests using an obscure law from Naboo which prohibits people from ''wearing the same clothes twice''. And it ''works''.
* LoonyLaws: In "Palpatine Is Arrested..." apparently has a law against wearing the same clothes twice.
* LoopholeAbuse: ''Liberally'' by the clones in "The Chips Didn't Work".
** Rex claims that since Ahsoka isn't a Jedi anymore and Palpatine didn't say to kill ''former'' Jedi, he can't kill her.
** Fox points out that Palpatine dissolved the Republic, and since the Clones were created to be loyal to said Republic, he doesn't have to do anything Palpatine says.
* PaperThinDisguise: Employed unsuccessfully by the Jedi and played for laughs. Some of the highlights include putting a mustache on Aayla and a hat on Plo Koon. Illustrated in [[https://adinavdeb.tumblr.com/post/627667930702921728/adinavdeb-fanart-for-the-fic-the-chips-didnt this]] series of sketches.
* {{Understatement}}: How "Palpatine is Arrested..." begins:
--> '''Obi-Wan:''' "This is...not good"\\
--> '''Mace Windu''' (mentally): ''Your capacity for understatement never ceases to amaze me, Master Kenobi''.
