* WouldntHurtAChild: Pretty much the only thing that the New and True Mandalorians agree on is that children should not be harmed in any capacity, with Mereel noting that even Death Watch is not so stupid to harm children since that would hurt their admittedly low standing even further.

* WhatTheHellHero: Bo-Katan is not happy at Satine for basically turning her back on Mandalore's warrior culture, even if she had good intentions behind her actions.

** Anakin is quite shaken after he watches Fox's video on the ways Palpatine was grooming him prior to his death, noting that what the former Supreme Chancellor was basically made him the type of Depur so horrendous that all the other Depurs would try to stop him.

* EverybodyMustGetStoned: Anakin, to his disgust, learns that the Gala is practically an excuse for most Senators to gorge themselves on spice and do whatever the fuck they want without repercussions.

* MythologyGag: During the Jedi Council meeting about the Rich Clovis mission, Mace Windu states that Anakin would probably duel him and chuck him out a window if he made Padme commit adultery for the sake of the mission, referencing the battle between Anakin and Mace in ''Film/RevengeOfTheSith''.

* PragmaticHero: While Giddean Danu is just as anti-Palpatine and pro-clone rights as Padme and her allies, he also wants the war to continue since it's been providing a lot of economical benefits to his homeworld Kuat thanks to all the warships being churned out from its shipyards. At the same time, he ''does not'' want to artificially draw the war out, with him despising Palpatine for doing so by refusing to let Kuat upgrade the Venator-class (that would turn it from a MasterOfNone to a more specilized carrier, and would remove the necessity of having to work with the obviously Seperatist aligned Techno Union to produce them, an issue with the normal Venators) or start production of the significantly more combat effective Imperator-class, and Kuat is already working on a line of civilian ships for sale post-war.
* ProperlyParanoid: Giddean Danu made sure to keep the funding of the Imperator-class Star Destroyers a secret given that Palpatine would undoubtedly do his best to stonewall the development of those ships if he found out, making it look like he was diverting Venator development funds into his own coffers.

* ShipperOnDeck: Shanzi ships Obi-Wan and Satine together, much to the embarrassment of both. [[spoiler: Jaster also ships them, revealing that one of his options for dealing with Satine if she refuses to work with the True Mandalorians is to exile her. Specifically, to Obi-Wan's quarters in the Jedi Temple]].

* TooDumbToLive: The senator who proposed a bill that would have let clones be bet in games of chance like property attempts to shoot Shanzi, who is ImmuneToBullets, with a blaster after she lets her displeasure be known. She's EatenAlive by Shanzi for her troubles.

** Anakin loses all respect for Palpatine after he watches Fox's video on Palpatine grooming him.

* AndThereWasMuchRejoicing: The 501st Legion erupts into raucous cheering after they inform Anakin of Palpatine's death. Considering how Palps was grooming Anakin into being his pawn, they have every right to be happy about his demise.

** Prime Minister Almec is a former member of the True Mandalorians who survived the events of Galidraan, rather than a NonActionGuy politician.
** Jaster Mereel is Force-sensitive due to the Force using unspecified means to ensure that he wasn't killed after the destruction of the True Mandalorians at Galidraan.

* VengeanceFeelsEmpty: While Anakin understands Boba's hatred for Mace due to him killing Jango, he dissuades him from going through with his revenge plan due to him feeling emptiness after murdering the Tuskens responsible for killing Shmi and feels that the clone would feel the same thing.

* IJustWantMyBelovedToBeHappy: Clovis' plan to provide the Naboo sector with its own droid factory for protecting itself and exposing the Trade Federation's scheme to rebuild their droid foundries serves as his way to ensure that Padme can rest easier knowing that she's in good hands with Anakin.

* ItBeginsWithATwist: Thanks to Clovis alerting the Republic about the Trade Federation's plans to rebuild their droid factories, the Republic is able to neutralize Geonosis' defenses much quicker than they did in canon and even make the Geonosians surrender to their forces.

* ShipperOnDeck: Shanzi ships Obi-Wan and Satine together, much to the embarrassment of both.

* AdaptationalHeroism: Karina the Great reveals to Corric that she originally intended to embark upon a campaign of peaceful expansion for her people and bring Geonosis into the Republic as a manufacturer of droids and other appliances on the scale of Kuat Drive Yards. Unfortunately, Poggle the Lesser betrayed her by elevating Karina into a living god, effectively cutting her off from her subjects as Poggle became the leader of the Geonosians in everything but name.

** All of the clones were disgusted at Palpantine preying on Anakin and worked together to create a file on Palpantine containing all the times Palps took advantage of Anakin's trust to mold him into his pawn.

** Ahsoka made herself a Palpantine punching bag to vent her rage with after the clones informed her of him grooming her master Anakin.

* EvilDetectingDog: The Zillo Beast can sense malicious intent from its Force abilities, which comes in handy for tracking down and killing one Sheev Palpantine on Coruscant.

* LampshadeHanging: In the Clone Commander holochat, Cody notes that Palpantine could declare himself Emperor without any objections from the Senate thanks to all the laws he passed giving him more and more power while making the Senate even more corrupt than it already was prior to the Clone Wars.

* NotQuiteDead: [[spoiler: Palpantine [[GrandTheftMe hijacks the body of Fedallian senator Kukull]] to escape being eaten by the Zillo Beast]].

* ShownTheirWork: An InUniverse example with Fox's documentary on grooming, which is stated to have been very thorough in perusing Tatooine slave culture in its explanation of how Palpantine was molding Anakin into his pawn.

* TheDogBitesBack: Fox ''relishes'' in the opportunity to avenge the mistreatment he and his fellow clones received at the hands of the senators, using his position as Shanzi's vizier to enact laws that curtail the undeserved privileges the senators have with a vengeance.
