** Russo-ISC, the crime scene analysis droid is one to Horatio Caine from ''Series/CSIMiami''. The droid's habit of flipping up and down his goggles are a parody of Caine's [[RunningGag memetic habit]] of constantly putting on his CoolShades whenever delivering a one-liner at the end of each episode's opening scene. ISC is ''Franchise/CSI'' spelled backwards.

Added DiffLines:

* FreezeFrameBonus: Paying attention when Anakin's ship gets hit with Buzz Droids will reveal that a substantial number of them either latched onto the ventral side or maneuvered there while the others went topside, explaining exactly ''why'' his ship promptly breaks down after he thinks he's gotten rid of he problem.


Added DiffLines:

** Anakin uses the Force to fling the Buzz Droids attacking his ship away from it. He fails to account for the ones on the bottom of the ship, which nearly gets him killed.


Added DiffLines:

* TemptingFate: Anakin dodges an oncoming missile and declares that he's fine. Five seconds after that, a swarm of Buzz Droids latch onto his ship, tear it apart from the inside and knock him unconscious.

Added DiffLines:

* CallForward: Anakin's starfighter gets attacked by Buzz Droids, forcing Ahsoka to come to his rescue, mirroring how he will chronologically have an identical situation with Obi-Wan in ''Film/RevengeOfTheSith'', albeit with the roles reversed.
** For bonus points, R2 tangles with a Buzz Droid, as he did in the theatrical movie. Rather than bust out his head-mounted spark projector and kill it with ShockAndAwe, he instead opts to crush it with the Eta-2's retracting fins.


Added DiffLines:

* MundaneUtility: When he gets jumped by a Buzz Droid bent on sawing his head off, R2 exploits the retractable fins on the Eta-2 to simply squish it flat.


Added DiffLines:

* OhCrap: Ahsoka has this when she realizes that the bottom of Anakin's fighter is ''completely'' covered in Buzz Droids. In turn, one of the Buzz Droids has this when it realizes R2's strategy to get rid of them involves ''crashing the ship''.
* ScreamsLikeALittleGirl: A random Buzz Droid ''freaks out'' in the millisecond before R2 ''deliberately'' crashes Anakin's fighter into the ground.

* EffortlessAmazonianLift: After Anakin is knocked out while piloting his starfighter and R2 has to make a crash-landing on a too-short cliff, Ahsoka leaps over to his fighter, hoists him from it, and jumps back to the cliff moments after the starfighter goes barreling off. This is especially impressive considering the fact that she could barely lift him back in "[[Recap/StarWarsTheCloneWarsS1E13JediCrash Jedi Crash]]".
