History Recap / StarWarsTheCloneWarsS3E9HuntForZiro

* HugeGirlTinyGuy: The remains of Ziro's father are roughly his size, while Mama the Hutt is easily three times their size. Whether she was that size when Ziro was conceived is (mercifully) unclear.
* HugeGuyTinyGirl: They're fairly close in height, but Ziro is easily three or four times Sy Snootles' mass.

* FanDisservice: In the middle of the dance number performed by three beautiful, [[GreenSkinnedSpaceBabe different coloured]] [[RubberForeheadAliens Twi'lek]] females, ''Sy Snootles'' shows up as the main attraction... Not to mention later in the episode she and Ziro are shown kissing...

* RealityEnsues: Bane gets a hold of Vos' lightsaber and uses it to fight Obi-Wan. Not being Force-sensitive and having no training with a lightsaber, Bane is disarmed in seconds.

* FanDisservice: In the middle of the dance number performed by three beautiful, [[GreenSkinnedSpaceBabe different coloured]] [[RubberForeheadAliens Twi'lek]] females, ''Sy Snootles'' shows up as the main attraction... Not to mention later in the episode she and Ziro are shown [[{{Squick}} kissing]]...

* ADayInTheLimelight: Quinlan Vos gets his time to shine in this episode...which also becomes a bit of an amusing application of HilariousInHindsight as this is his ''only'' appearance in ''The Clone Wars'', barring a background cameo in one episode three seasons later.

* BlastingItOutOfTheirHands: Obi-Wan disarms Bane of his one remaining blaster by deflecting a bolt into it.

* NoodleIncident: Quinlan Vos alludes to a past encounter he had with Bane.
* OddCouple: The prim and proper Obi-Wan Kenobi and hotheaded wildman Quinlan Vos. They work well enough together, but the episode gets a fair bit of comedy out of the set-up.

Cad Bane has broken Ziro the Hutt out of prison, and the Hutt Council demands that Ziro tell them where he's hidden vital — and incriminating — information: a holodiary detailing the criminal activities of the five Hutt families. Ziro makes another daring escape with the help of his estranged (and strange) lover, Sy Snootles. Bane is back on the Hutt's trail — but he's not the only one. Obi-Wan Kenobi and Quinlan Vos need to find him too. A chase through the swamps of Nal Hutta leads the pursuers to Ziro's enormous mother, Mama the Hutt, who points them to the direction of Teth. It is here, in the secret grave of Ziro's father, that the fugitive Hutt has hidden the diary. When he retrieves it, Snooty reveals her true colours: She's a deadly woman scorned and a bounty hunter for hire. After killing Ziro, she returns the journal to her client: Jabba the Hutt.

* ADayInTheLimelight: Quinlan Vos gets his time to shine in this episode...which also becomes a bit of an amusing application of HilariousInHindsight as this is his ''only'' showing in the series, barring a background cameo in one episode several seasons later.

* CantKillYouStillNeedYou: The Hutts would dearly love to just kill Ziro, but his hidden holodiary of their various criminal dealings makes killing him a dicey proposition. Jabba cleverly gets past this problem by having Sy Snootles get Ziro to lead her to the holodiary, ''then'' kill him.

** "[[Film/TheBigLebowski That's just your opinion, man.]]"

* EvenBadMenLoveTheirMamas: Ziro.

* ADayIntheLimelight: Quinlan Vos gets his time to shine in this episode...which also becomes a bit of an amusing application of HilariousInHindsight as this is his ''only'' showing in the series, barring a background cameo in one episode several seasons later.

* TheFriendNobodyLikes: Downplayed, but Cody and Obi-Wan's dialogue at the start of the episode implies that Quinlan is not necessarily anyone's favorite person to pal around with.

* InterspeciesRomance[=/=]HotSkittyOnWailordAction: Ziro the Hutt and Sy Snootles (who is a Pa'lowick) once had a relationship.

* CrackPairing: In-universe, the episode reveals that Sy Snootles and Ziro once had a "relationship".

* DynamicEntry: Quinlan Vos likes these. When he arrives at the Jedi Temple, he doesn't wait for his ride to land and simply jumps down to the platform. Also see below at ThereWasADoor.

* LargeAndInCharge: Mama the Hutt is arguably the largest Hutt introduced in ''Star Wars'' canon. She makes [[FatBastard Jabba]] (her grandson) look in shape.

** [[Film/TheBigLebowski "That's just your opinion, man."]]
** Ziro's LastWords are [[Film/TheWizardOfOz "What a world, what a world!"]]

* AscendedExtra: [[http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Sy_Snootles Sy Snootles]] (who was a background character in ''Film/ReturnOfTheJedi'') received an expanded role in this episode.

* AnachronicOrder: This episode takes place directly after "[[Recap/StarWarsTheCloneWarsS1E22HostageCrisis Hostage Crisis]]" (which is the season one finale) and is the last part of the Ziro the Hutt arc.

* ChekhovsGun: The cup that Ziro was previously imbibing from before tossing aside is the clue that tips Quinlan Vos off to his presence on Nal Hutta when he uses his {{Psychometry}} abilities later in the episode.

* {{Squick}}: When Ziro asks Sy if she really cares about him, she answers "From the bottom of my fluid sac." Given, the fluid sac is basically the Pa'lowicks' version of a heart, but that doesn't make what she says any less nauseating.
