** The scene where Ahsoka and Barris watches a bunch of infected clones force a brain worm up another clone's nose. It gave a whole new meaning to MindRape.

* Savage Opress' transformation in "Monster", where his body is mutated into a larger, more powerful form, with his bones audibly cracking as they extend. The change to his personality is no less horrifying: he is turned from a decent, honourable man into a violent, brutish monster, willing to murder his own brother in cold blood with only a moment's hesitation.

The change to his personality is no less horrifying: he is turned from a decent, honourable man into a violent, brutish monster, willing to murder his own brother in cold blood with only a moment's hesitation.
** Savage's [[spoiler: death scene]] in "The Lawless" lends itself to some disturbing FridgeHorror: [[spoiler: as he dies, Savage's body changes back to it's original appearance, and his personality seems to revert back to his pre-transformation self, which raises the question of whether any of Savage's evil acts were his own choice, or if he spent the final months of his life as a slave of the Nightsisters' brainwashing.]]
* Also from "Monster", Savage's rampage on Devaron. Both a MomentOfAwesome for Savage and a horrific MookHorrorShow for the clone troopers he kills. He takes a ''blaster bolt'' to the chest, and ''[[TheJuggernaut doesn't even slow down]]''.



* TheReveal in "Carnage of Krell" that [[spoiler: Rex and his men have been killing ''other clones'' because of Krell's manipulations]].
* [[spoiler: General Krell]]'s rampage in "Carnage of Krell", as well as his obvious sadistic glee in taunting and butchering the clones.
* A more subtle one, but in the first episode of the "Deception" arc, after [[spoiler: Obi-Wan fakes his own death to go undercover as Rako Hardeen and insists that keeping Anakin in the dark was vital because "everyone knows how close we are" and Anakin's reaction would sell it. So, Anakin's best friend and HeterosexualLifePartner, who knows Anakin has major issues with rage, grief, and loss, purposefully manipulated his emotions to hurt him to further the mission. Ouch. No wonder Anakin has such major trust issues by the time ''Film/RevengeOfTheSith'' rolls around. In fairness, Obi-Wan's horror at seeing how much his "death" has unhinged Anakin in "Friends and Enemies" seems to [[MyGodWhatHaveIDone caused him regret]]]].
** [[spoiler: Actually he might well not know. It is highly likely that Anakin ''never'' confided any of his... family issues to anyone but Padme, and certainly he didn't do so on screen. The council's plan was still hardly farsighted or morally sound.]]
** From the same arc, [[spoiler: Obi-Wan's transformation into Rako Hardeen, which looked ''very'' agonizing]].



*** [[spoiler: He's no less horrifying after being healed. Now, instead of being a crazy, ranting lunatic, he's a calculating, psychopath who's willing to butcher dozens, maybe hundreds of innocent people just to get Obi-Wan's attention. Adding on his torture of Obi-Wan, the "beyond excruciating" vengeance he had planned, and his [[ImplacableMan sheer implacability]] makes Maul into, perhaps, the most terrifying villain to appear in the series to date.]]

* A more subtle one, but in the first episode of the "Deception" arc, after [[spoiler: Obi-Wan fakes his own death to go undercover as Hardeen, Obi-Wan insists that keeping Anakin in the dark was vital because "everyone knows how close we are" and Anakin's reaction would sell it. So, Anakin's best friend and HeterosexualLifePartner, who knows Anakin has major issues with rage, grief, and loss, purposefully manipulated Anakin's emotions to hurt him to further the mission. Ouch. No wonder Anakin has such major trust issues by the time EpisodeIII rolls around. In fairness, Obi-Wan's horror at seeing how much his "death" has unhinged Anakin in "Friends and Enemies" seems to [[MyGodWhatHaveIDone cause him regret.]] ]]

Added DiffLines:

* The episode "Lair of Grevious" had a much darker tone compared to others.
** The very nasty fight with Grevious that has the Jedi chopping his legs off, while he crawls on the ceiling.
** A clone trooper getting ''incinerated'' in a lava pit, ala ''Film/TempleOfDoom''.
** Grevious' horrifying "pet" which mauls another clone trooper to death.
** Grievous' droid doctor telling him that there may be "[[{{Understatement}} some discomfort]]" and then beginning to cut open his head as he screams in agony.
* In "Cargo of Doom", there's a scene where Cad Bane tortures a Jedi using electricity. The entire sequence - Bane's coldness, the Jedi's death, complete with tongue sticking out, and what really sealed it was the emotionless battle droids.
* The scene in "Children of the Force" where Obi-Wan, Anakin, and Mace try to gain information from Cad Bane by using a Jedi Mind Trick on him, all at the same time. It's pretty creepy to watch the cold, calculating bounty hunter thrash in obvious agony as they assault his mind, with the Jedi knowing full well it could destroy him both mentally and physically.
* The clones getting their escape pods cracked by the nonchalant droids... humming a jaunty tune.
* The spider assassin-droid in "Voyage of Temptation". Imagine a giant metal spider with dozens of glowing red eyes, and it's trying to kill you. Now imagine that when you kill it, it starts spewing out ''dozens'' of little metal spiders, ''also'' trying to kill you.
* Geonosian parasites, especially when controlling dead Geonosians.
** One of the Geonosians pulls out a mind-control worm and shows it to Luminara. Anakin wishes to free her, but Obi-Wan tells him to wait it out. The Geonosian then puts the worm on Luminara's face and Obi-Wan ''is still waiting to see how the worm will enter her head''.
* At the start of "Brain Invaders", the first worm enters a clone and his eyes ''roll back into his head'' as the worm starts taking over.
** The scene where Barris watches a bunch of infected clones force a brain worm up another clone's nose. It gave a whole new meaning to MindRape.
** Ahsoka's lightsaber duel with the worm-possessed Barris, who at one point ''screams'' at Ahsoka with the worm coming out of her mouth like a long, snake=like tongue.
* [[HumanoidAbomination The Son]] from the Mortis arc, who's basically the Dark Side incarnate. He also sounds like ''Emperor Palpatine'' at times.
** From the same arc, Anakin's vision of his future was horrifying. He's basically watching himself butcher innocent children, fatally throttle his beloved wife, attempt to murder his best friend, and be party to the destruction of a planet and the genocide of billions of innocent people, all while being unable to stop the visions. Forget turning to the dark side, he's lucky he didn't go ''insane'' from the experience.
*** And the worst part? There's ''nothing in those visions that he cannot prevent.''
** Ahoska after the Son brainwashes her into becoming his dark side servant in "Altar of Mortis".
* The torture scene in "The Citadel" deserves mention, especially those six words said by the torture droid as it reached for Even Piell's eye; "Say goodbye to your good eye." Brr...
* Exploding Gungans, Mon Cala and Quarren, courtesy of Riff Tamson's knife bombs. It gets even more gruesome when [[spoiler: Lee-Char blows Tamson to bits with one of the shark-man's own bombs. We not only see blood onscreen, but also some of Tamson's remains, including his ''head'', sink to the bottom of the sea.]]
* Almost everything from "Massacre", including Mother Talzin's ColdBloodedTorture of Dooku via voodoo doll and Nightsister zombies.
* [[spoiler: Darth Maul. He's become a psychotic, deranged lunatic, skittering around on a spider-like contraption, ranting dementedly. If possible, his single moment of sanity at the end of his first appearance is even worse; an unblinking, yellow-eyed DeathGlare, showing that beneath his insanity, Maul is still a vicious predator, obsessed with revenge.]]
-->[[spoiler: '''Darth Maul''': Revenge... ''I must have revenge''...]]
** [[spoiler: He's laughing and sobbing at random intervals between broken ramblings interspersed with coherent phrases about revenge, and there's the implication that he is [[AndIMustScream fully aware]] of his broken mental state.]]
--->[[spoiler: '''Darth Maul''': The chains... The chains are the easy part. It's what goes on in ''here'' that's hard [''taps head, begins to sob''].]]
* While it's not shown on screen, it's implied that [[spoiler: Maul ''killed'' a bunch of kids in ''Revenge'']].
