History Recap / StarWarsTheCloneWarsS2E6WeaponsFactory

* BuriedAlive: Barriss and Ahsoka end up buried in the indestructible tank. When Barriss says she'd have rather died fighting above than by starving, Ahsoka reassures her that they'll run out of breathable air long before they starve to death.

* DarkestHour: Outside the factory, invincible super tanks are blowing lots of clone troopers to kingdom come. Inside the factory, Ahsoka is knocked out (again) and the Geonosians end up stealing the explosives, thus throwing a monkey wrench into Ahsoka and Barriss' operation.

* PlotArmour: Literally. The super-tanks' extreme shielding was a plot point even before it saved Ahsoka and Barriss' lives.

* WeNeedADistraction: Anakin orders Rex to have the men fall back in order to lure the super-tanks onto the bridge so he and Luminara can plant explosives on the underside and blow it up, sending the tanks falling into the canyon.

* RedOniBlueOni: Ahsoka's the red to Barriss' blue.

* {{Newsreel}}: Like all ''The Clone Wars'' episodes "Weapons Factory" opens with a bombastic bit framed like a Republic propaganda newsreel;
''[[center:[[AC:"The final surge. \\
Having learned of warlord Poggle the Lesser's plot \\
to rebuild a Separatist droid foundry on Geonosis, \\
Jedi Knight Anakin Skywalker and his Padawan, Ahsoka Tano, \\
prepare to assault this heavily-fortified installation. \\
Their mission: destroy the factory at all costs. \\
Anticipating stiff resistance,\\
Republic commanders send Jedi Master\\
Luminara Unduli and her Padawan, Barriss Offee, \\
to reinforce the attack. \\
But time runs short for our intrepid heroes \\
as the dreaded droid mill nears completion…."]]]]''

* AnimatedAdaptation: This episode was based on issue 67 of the ''Republic'' comics series, with Ahsoka taking the place of an older Padawan, whom Anakin had a crush on, in order to raise the stakes. Unlike Ahsoka in this episode, she didn't make it.

* HeroicSacrifice: Subverted. After the Geonosians took the bombs, Ahsoka and Barriss used a hijacked tank to destroy the power generator, which blew up right next to them and then the whole building came crushing down on them. However, they survived due to the tank's extremely strong shield.

After successfully destorying the shield generator of Poggle's weapon factory, Luminara Unduli and her Padawan Barriss Offee join Anakin and Ahsoka in their efforts to bring down the fortified factory itself.

* CallForward: Luminara tries to counsel Anakin to be prepared for the worst if Ahsoka (and Barriss) die during the mission. His refusal to do so is admirable (since it does help save her), but it's also the exact issue, when concerning Padmé, that ultimately leads to [[Film/RevengeOfTheSith Anakin's fall]].

* UnspokenPlanGuarantee: Luminara explained the plan in advance. It went south at the most crucial part.

* IdiotPlot: Luminara's plan was to send Ahsoka and Barriss inside the factory, plant bombs on it's main power-generator, and blow it up, which would destroy the whole facility as well. The entire plot of the previous episode was about the Jedi's effort to mount an attack that could destroy the shield generator of the factory, in which they succeeded. So why didn't they just ordered bombers or gunships to destroy the factory?
