Ahsoka Tano is a female Togruta who was assigned as Anakin Skywalker's Padawan learner during the Clone Wars. Though Anakin was initially dismissive towards her, she grew under his mentorship from a headstrong young student into a mature leader. Ahsoka participated in several vital battles over the course of the war, earning the respect of her clone troopers, but after being framed for bombing the Jedi Temple and put on trial by the Republic, she left the Jedi Order. She reunited with Anakin and Obi-Wan during the Siege of Mandalore, which she escaped alongside Captain Rex when Order 66 was executed, and they went into hiding.
After escaping from Mandalore, Ahsoka wandered the galaxy for a year, staying in hiding from the Empire while attempting to offer some aid to those who stood against it. After killing the Inquisitor known as the Sixth Brother during the Uprising on Raada, Ahsoka joined forces with Senator Bail Organa to help create a rebel network. Taking the codename "Fulcrum," she became the head of the network's intelligence service.

[[folder:A-C]]
* ActionDuo: She forms one with Lux in "A Friend in Need" with Lux being the ActionSurvivor to her ActionGirl.
* ActionGirl: She is a female Togruta who is a very skilled (now-former) Padawan learner and member of the Jedi Order.
* AdaptationalModesty: During the Zygerrian Slavers arc, Ahsoka is put in a rather [[GoGoEnslavement fanservice-y slave outfit]]. However, this outfit is very modest compared to the outfit from the comic book storyline the Zygerrian Slavers arc was adapted from, which was even more revealing than her default appearance in the first two and a half seasons of ''The Clone Wars''.
* AffectionateNickname:
** Anakin occasionally calls Ahsoka "Snips".
** Plo Koon occasionally calls her "Little 'Soka".
* AffirmativeActionGirl: ''The Clone Wars'' has a lot of {{Action Girl}}s, but Padmé was the only female character in the Prequel Trilogy with an active role.
* AgeInappropriateDress: As ''The Clone Wars''' most prominently featured female character, she's also the primary [[MsFanservice source of]] {{Fanservice}}, resulting in most of her outfits being quite questionable.
* AlienHair: Her horns and head-tails.
* AmbiguouslyBi:
** She is attracted to Lux Bonteri and later Nyx Okami. Behind the scenes, Giancarlo Volpe says he added subtext between her and Barriss Offee: "[[http://giancarlovolpe.tumblr.com/post/94796479979/gizzlescribbles-hmmmwhatever-its-late You have no idea how hard I secretly pushed this agenda in "Weapons Factory"]]".
** In Ahsoka's self-titled book, Kaeden Larte is interested in her and admits her feelings to Ahsoka after being rescued from the Empire. Ahoska is surprised and flattered by the admission, but as they are in the middle of escaping an Imperial base (and with Ahsoka's Jedi conditioning), there is no time for her to process her feelings, although they are implied throughout the novel.
* AmbiguousGender: Hera does not use any pronouns to refer to Fulcrum, and the way the voice is modulated disguises her gender. Even the voice actress goes uncredited in her first few appearances. Fulcrum's holo-comm appearance in "Rebel Resolve," though still hidden by a cloak, has less distortion and a definite female tone to her voice. She appears in person in the season one finale, revealing herself to be Ahsoka Tano.
* AmbiguousSituation: Twice in ''Rebels''.
** [[spoiler:Darth Vader leaves her marooned on Malachor. What happened to her after that is unclear, but [[https://thewookieegunner.com/2016/07/15/swce-2016-ahsoka-tano-digital-cards-topps/ Topps cards drawn by Filoni]] suggest she is in some sort of mental underworld, a limbo.]] Her fate is finally confirmed in the episode "A World Between Worlds," where [[spoiler:it shows that Ezra used the space-time manipulation powers of the ancient Jedi Temple to save her before she was swallowed up by the collapse]].
** However, "A World Between Worlds" subsequently raises ''another'' ambiguous situation, as [[spoiler:while Ahsoka returns to Malachor after the events of the episode, she promised to find Ezra]], but ''when'' this will happen is unknown... Until it's revealed in "Family Reunion -- And Farewell" that [[spoiler:she survived past the end of the Galactic Civil War and met up with Sabine. Of course, one has to wonder ''when'' she successfully escaped Malachor. . . or [[YearInsideHourOutside when]] she returned there, for that matter]].
* AnimationAnatomyAging: In the PilotMovie and first two-and-a-half seasons, Ahsoka has disproportionately large eyes, a completely round face, horns that are only stubs, and headtails that barely reach beyond her shoulders. After the MidSeasonUpGrade during the third season via "Heroes on Both Sides", her eyes noticeably shrink, her face becomes longer and angled, her horns grow larger and curved, and her headtails reach the middle of her chest. Her adult self (briefly shown in "Overlords") has almond-shaped eyes, an oval face, very large horns, and headtails reaching to her thighs.
* TheApprentice: She's Anakin's Padawan during the time of ''The Clone Wars''.
* ArtShiftedSequel: Her appearance in ''Rebels'' has various changes from her appearance in ''The Clone Wars'', even accounting for age. The blue stripes on her horns and head-tails are thinner and wavy, the markings on her cheeks extend further up to be level with her eyes, her eye markings are extended to just below her eyes, and her forehead markings are wider.
* AudienceSurrogate: She has this role in ''The Clone Wars'' through being a young Padawan that is thrust into a world of adventure.
* BackForTheFinale: [[spoiler:In ''Rebels''. Her survival is explained in "A World Between Worlds," and she subsequently makes a cameo in the series finale.]]
* BadassAdorable: She is especially this prior to the unspecified TimeSkip in the middle of season three due to the fact that her large eyes, voice, personality, general appearance, and small frame in comparison to the rest of the main characters make her very adorable. She can be cute yet badass in the course of the same episode. She even invokes it after she sees Seripas' true form:
-->'''Ahsoka:''' You don't have to ''look'' tough to ''be'' tough.
* BadassInDistress: She has been this more than a couple of times. It’s mostly justified since she's just a learner and has the misfortune of running into opponents who are a match for even Jedi Masters. This is also justified because while she's badass, she's still in the middle of a galaxy-spanning war. War on any scale tends to be fairly hazardous even if you are a Jedi.
* BaitAndSwitch: In the last minutes of "Fire Across the Galaxy," it initially appears as though Bail Organa was behind the identity... and then the ''actual'' Fulcrum, Ahsoka Tano, shows up as his hologram dissipates.
* BareYourMidriff: When she was introduced at the age of [[AgeInappropriateDress 14 years old]], all she wore on her upper body was a truly ''tiny'' tubetop. Her slave disguise during the Zygerrian Slavers arc was also a midriff baring one.
* BigBrotherWorship: Although she usually hides it with being snippy and snarky and is not afraid to argue with him if she feels he's wrong about something, she looks up to Anakin, she has the utmost trust in him, and one of her greatest fears is disappointing him.
* BigEgoHiddenDepths: A few scenes in the PilotMovie and several episodes focusing on her has shown that her initial brash, snippy, and overconfident attitude is merely a facade to hide how insecure she feels regarding her status as Anakin's apprentice.
* BlackAndWhiteMorality: It becomes particularly clear in "Heroes on Both Sides", where she sums up the war as "the Separatists are evil and they (the Republic and the Jedi) must stop them". She can't grasp the idea of why the Senate is wasting time debating bank-(de)regulations. After meeting Mina and Lux Bonteri, she realizes and invokes that the war is [[GrayingMorality not as black and white as she thought]].
* BlueIsHeroic: The upcoming Siege of Mandalore arc sees her in a blue dress, and she also gets a new pair of blue lightsabers.
* BrattyHalfPint: Ahsoka was this when she was first introduced, granting her the nickname "Snips" from her Master. She has mostly grown out of it by the time of season three.
* BreakoutCharacter: Ahsoka was originally created for ''[[WesternAnimation/StarWarsTheCloneWars The Clone Wars]]'', but her immense CharacterDevelopment has made her one of the most popular characters in the show and the franchise as a whole, leading into further appearances in ''[[WesternAnimation/StarWarsRebels Rebels]]'', her [[Literature/StarWarsAhsoka own self-titled novel]], and ''[[WesternAnimation/StarWarsForcesOfDestiny Forces of Destiny]]''.
* BreakTheCutie: Despite being an adorable PluckyGirl, the events of the Fugitive arc are just too much for Ahsoka. She gets framed for multiple murders, terrorism, and sedition; the Jedi Council abandons her and makes no effort to conduct their own investigation; the Senate Court (particularly [[InspectorJavert Tarkin]]) are more than happy to sentence her to death. On top of that, Anakin discovers that one of her friends (Barriss Offee) is the one who framed her. In the face of all this, she understandably refuses Yoda's offer to return to the Order despite the fact that they all but said outright they would promote her to Jedi Knight for putting up with all this crap. As she leaves the Temple, she sheds a SingleTear.
* BrokenBird: While she was a proud and accomplished Jedi during the Clone Wars, she has since become disillusioned with their teachings and is more of a HeroicNeutral now. She's also become somewhat of a loner thanks to most of the people she was close to dying. She also has a lot of hangups over leaving the Jedi and Anakin in particular, which especially haunt her through Darth Vader.
* TheBusCameBack: Ahsoka officially returns two whole years after her final appearance in "The Wrong Jedi."[[note]]Not counting a cameo appearance in a vision in "Sacrifice."[[/note]]
* TheCavalry: After Chopper calls her for help, she shows up piloting the ''Ghost'' with three Corellian Corvettes as backup just in time to cover the ''Ghost'' crew's escape.
* CharacterDevelopment: Over the course of ''The Clone Wars'', she develops from a cheeky, stubborn, and rash girl into a serious, level-headed, and dependable young woman.
* ChildProdigy: Implied. The headdress Ahsoka wears is teeth of an akul, a large & destructive creature native to Shili. If you manage to kill one, then you get to wear its teeth as a trophy. Ahsoka has had hers since she was ''four-years-old''. Either this shows how skilled she was even then or the akul are more harmless than they sound.
* ClearMyName: This is her main goal during the Fugitive arc, though Anakin picks this up after Ahsoka's arrested. In the end, Anakin succeeds, but her trust in the Jedi Council is shattered, which prompts her to leave.
* CleavageWindow: Her second outfit has one. Alhough, it's a little too high to be a completely straight example.
* CodeName: Fulcrum is a code name intended to keep her identity a secret. While the Imperials know of her, they have no idea who she is.
* CombatPragmatist: [[spoiler:In "Twilight of the Apprentice," while Vader is focused on trying to rip the Sith holocron from Ezra's grip, Ahsoka silently ambushes him from behind, tackling him, and managing to cut off part of his faceplate.]]
* CommandingCoolness: When she became a Padawan, she was also given the rank of Jedi Commander.
* CoolBigSis: She acts as role model to Kalifa, O-Mer, and Jinx to a lesser extent. She also acts like this towards Prince Lee-Char.
* CostumeEvolution:
** In the PilotMovie and first two-and-a-half seasons of ''The Clone Wars'', she wears a tubetop and a skirt with white tights. Later in the second half of the third season of ''The Clone Wars'', she switches to a short red dress that evokes more of the conventional Jedi Order outfits but is still unique to her. The upcoming seventh season has her undergo two new outfits, a jumpsuit in the Ahsoka's Journey arc and a blue combat dress in the Siege of Mandalore arc.
** In ''Rebels'', she's returned to wearing clothes for battle; specifically ancient Jedi armor, showing that while she may have left the Jedi Order and tried to become a civilian, she's still in the fight. She's just becoming what the Jedi originally were.
* CryCute: Ahsoka sheds a SingleTear at Obi-Wan's [[FakingTheDead apparent death]]. She does it again when she leaves the Order in "The Wrong Jedi".
* CunningLinguist:
** In "Wookiee Hunt", she is able to understand Shyriiwook, something the younger trainees with her could not do. Oddly, she doesn't understand a Twi'lek in "To Catch a Jedi".
** Further down the timeline in "Twilight of the Apprentice," she recognizes the script found on Malachor.
* CurbStompBattle: She easily beat the Fifth Brother ''and'' the Seventh Sister ''simultaneously'' during their first encounter. This doubles as a Big Damn Heroes moment.
* ActionDuo: She forms one with Lux in "A Friend in Need" with Lux being the ActionSurvivor to her ActionGirl.
* ActionGirl: She is a female Togruta who is a very skilled (now-former) Padawan learner and member of the Jedi Order.
* AdaptationalModesty: During the Zygerrian Slavers arc, Ahsoka is put in a rather [[GoGoEnslavement fanservice-y slave outfit]].

** She is attracted to Lux Bonteri and later Nyx Okami. Behind the scenes, Giancarlo Volpe says he added subtext between her and Barriss Offee: "[[http://giancarlovolpe.tumblr.com/post/94796479979/gizzlescribbles-hmmmwhatever-its-late You have no idea how hard I secretly pushed this agenda in "Weapons Factory"]]".
** In Ahsoka's self-titled book, Kaeden Larte is interested in her and admits her feelings to Ahsoka after being rescued from the Empire. Ahoska is surprised and flattered by the admission, but as they are in the middle of escaping an Imperial base (and with Ahsoka's Jedi conditioning), there is no time for her to process her feelings, although they are implied throughout the novel.
* AmbiguousGender: Hera does not use any pronouns to refer to Fulcrum, and the way the voice is modulated disguises her gender. Even the voice actress goes uncredited in her first few appearances. Fulcrum's holo-comm appearance in "Rebel Resolve," though still hidden by a cloak, has less distortion and a definite female tone to her voice. She appears in person in the season one finale, revealing herself to be Ahsoka Tano.
* AmbiguousSituation: Twice in ''Rebels''.
** [[spoiler:Darth Vader leaves her marooned on Malachor. What happened to her after that is unclear, but [[https://thewookieegunner.com/2016/07/15/swce-2016-ahsoka-tano-digital-cards-topps/ Topps cards drawn by Filoni]] suggest she is in some sort of mental underworld, a limbo.]] Her fate is finally confirmed in the episode "A World Between Worlds," where [[spoiler:it shows that Ezra used the space-time manipulation powers of the ancient Jedi Temple to save her before she was swallowed up by the collapse]].
** However, "A World Between Worlds" subsequently raises ''another'' ambiguous situation, as [[spoiler:while Ahsoka returns to Malachor after the events of the episode, she promised to find Ezra]], but ''when'' this will happen is unknown... Until it's revealed in "Family Reunion -- And Farewell" that [[spoiler:she survived past the end of the Galactic Civil War and met up with Sabine. Of course, one has to wonder ''when'' she successfully escaped Malachor. . . or [[YearInsideHourOutside when]] she returned there, for that matter]].
* AnimationAnatomyAging: In the PilotMovie and first two-and-a-half seasons, Ahsoka has disproportionately large eyes, a completely round face, horns that are only stubs, and headtails that barely reach beyond her shoulders. After the MidSeasonUpGrade during the third season via "Heroes on Both Sides", her eyes noticeably shrink, her face becomes longer and angled, her horns grow larger and curved, and her headtails reach the middle of her chest. Her adult self (briefly shown in "Overlords") has almond-shaped eyes, an oval face, very large horns, and headtails reaching to her thighs.
* TheApprentice: She's Anakin's Padawan during the time of ''The Clone Wars''.
* ArtShiftedSequel: Her appearance in ''Rebels'' has various changes from her appearance in ''The Clone Wars'', even accounting for age. The blue stripes on her horns and head-tails are thinner and wavy, the markings on her cheeks extend further up to be level with her eyes, her eye markings are extended to just below her eyes, and her forehead markings are wider.
* AudienceSurrogate: She has this role in ''The Clone Wars'' through being a young Padawan that is thrust into a world of adventure.
* BackForTheFinale: [[spoiler:In ''Rebels''. Her survival is explained in "A World Between Worlds," and she subsequently makes a cameo in the series finale.]]
* BadassAdorable: She is especially this prior to the unspecified TimeSkip in the middle of season three due to the fact that her large eyes, voice, personality, general appearance, and small frame in comparison to the rest of the main characters make her very adorable. She can be cute yet badass in the course of the same episode. She even invokes it after she sees Seripas' true form:
-->'''Ahsoka:''' You don't have to ''look'' tough to ''be'' tough.
* BadassInDistress: She has been this more than a couple of times. It’s mostly justified since she's just a learner and has the misfortune of running into opponents who are a match for even Jedi Masters. This is also justified because while she's badass, she's still in the middle of a galaxy-spanning war. War on any scale tends to be fairly hazardous even if you are a Jedi.
* BaitAndSwitch: In the last minutes of "Fire Across the Galaxy," it initially appears as though Bail Organa was behind the identity... and then the ''actual'' Fulcrum, Ahsoka Tano, shows up as his hologram dissipates.
* BareYourMidriff: When she was introduced at the age of [[AgeInappropriateDress 14 years old]], all she wore on her upper body was a truly ''tiny'' tubetop. Her slave disguise during the Zygerrian Slavers arc was also a midriff baring one.
* BigBrotherWorship: Although she usually hides it with being snippy and snarky and is not afraid to argue with him if she feels he's wrong about something, she looks up to Anakin, she has the utmost trust in him, and one of her greatest fears is disappointing him.
* BigEgoHiddenDepths: A few scenes in the PilotMovie and several episodes focusing on her has shown that her initial brash, snippy, and overconfident attitude is merely a facade to hide how insecure she feels regarding her status as Anakin's apprentice.
* BlackAndWhiteMorality: It becomes particularly clear in "Heroes on Both Sides", where she sums up the war as "the Separatists are evil and they (the Republic and the Jedi) must stop them". She can't grasp the idea of why the Senate is wasting time debating bank-(de)regulations. After meeting Mina and Lux Bonteri, she realizes and invokes that the war is [[GrayingMorality not as black and white as she thought]].
* BlueIsHeroic: The upcoming Siege of Mandalore arc sees her in a blue dress, and she also gets a new pair of blue lightsabers.
* BrattyHalfPint: Ahsoka was this when she was first introduced, granting her the nickname "Snips" from her Master. She has mostly grown out of it by the time of season three.
* BreakoutCharacter: Ahsoka was originally created for ''[[WesternAnimation/StarWarsTheCloneWars The Clone Wars]]'', but her immense CharacterDevelopment has made her one of the most popular characters in the show and the franchise as a whole, leading into further appearances in ''[[WesternAnimation/StarWarsRebels Rebels]]'', her [[Literature/StarWarsAhsoka own self-titled novel]], and ''[[WesternAnimation/StarWarsForcesOfDestiny Forces of Destiny]]''.
* BreakTheCutie: Despite being an adorable PluckyGirl, the events of the Fugitive arc are just too much for Ahsoka. She gets framed for multiple murders, terrorism, and sedition; the Jedi Council abandons her and makes no effort to conduct their own investigation; the Senate Court (particularly [[InspectorJavert Tarkin]]) are more than happy to sentence her to death. On top of that, Anakin discovers that one of her friends (Barriss Offee) is the one who framed her. In the face of all this, she understandably refuses Yoda's offer to return to the Order despite the fact that they all but said outright they would promote her to Jedi Knight for putting up with all this crap. As she leaves the Temple, she sheds a SingleTear.
* BrokenBird: While she was a proud and accomplished Jedi during the Clone Wars, she has since become disillusioned with their teachings and is more of a HeroicNeutral now. She's also become somewhat of a loner thanks to most of the people she was close to dying. She also has a lot of hangups over leaving the Jedi and Anakin in particular, which especially haunt her through Darth Vader.
* TheBusCameBack: Ahsoka officially returns two whole years after her final appearance in "The Wrong Jedi."[[note]]Not counting a cameo appearance in a vision in "Sacrifice."[[/note]]
* TheCavalry: After Chopper calls her for help, she shows up piloting the ''Ghost'' with three Corellian Corvettes as backup just in time to cover the ''Ghost'' crew's escape.
* CharacterDevelopment: Over the course of ''The Clone Wars'', she develops from a cheeky, stubborn, and rash girl into a serious, level-headed, and dependable young woman.
* ChildProdigy: Implied. The headdress Ahsoka wears is teeth of an akul, a large & destructive creature native to Shili. If you manage to kill one, then you get to wear its teeth as a trophy. Ahsoka has had hers since she was ''four-years-old''. Either this shows how skilled she was even then or the akul are more harmless than they sound.
* ClearMyName: This is her main goal during the Fugitive arc, though Anakin picks this up after Ahsoka's arrested. In the end, Anakin succeeds, but her trust in the Jedi Council is shattered, which prompts her to leave.
* CleavageWindow: Her second outfit has one. Alhough, it's a little too high to be a completely straight example.
* CodeName: Fulcrum is a code name intended to keep her identity a secret. While the Imperials know of her, they have no idea who she is.
* CombatPragmatist: [[spoiler:In "Twilight of the Apprentice," while Vader is focused on trying to rip the Sith holocron from Ezra's grip, Ahsoka silently ambushes him from behind, tackling him, and managing to cut off part of his faceplate.]]
* CommandingCoolness: When she became a Padawan, she was also given the rank of Jedi Commander.
* CoolBigSis: She acts as role model to Kalifa, O-Mer, and Jinx to a lesser extent. She also acts like this towards Prince Lee-Char.
* CostumeEvolution:
** In the PilotMovie and first two-and-a-half seasons of ''The Clone Wars'', she wears a tubetop and a skirt with white tights. Later in the second half of the third season of ''The Clone Wars'', she switches to a short red dress that evokes more of the conventional Jedi Order outfits but is still unique to her. The upcoming seventh season has her undergo two new outfits, a jumpsuit in the Ahsoka's Journey arc and a blue combat dress in the Siege of Mandalore arc.
** In ''Rebels'', she's returned to wearing clothes for battle; specifically ancient Jedi armor, showing that while she may have left the Jedi Order and tried to become a civilian, she's still in the fight. She's just becoming what the Jedi originally were.
* CryCute: Ahsoka sheds a SingleTear at Obi-Wan's [[FakingTheDead apparent death]]. She does it again when she leaves the Order in "The Wrong Jedi".
* CunningLinguist:
** In "Wookiee Hunt", she is able to understand Shyriiwook, something the younger trainees with her could not do. Oddly, she doesn't understand a Twi'lek in "To Catch a Jedi".
** Further down the timeline in "Twilight of the Apprentice," she recognizes the script found on Malachor.
* CurbStompBattle: She easily beat the Fifth Brother ''and'' the Seventh Sister ''simultaneously'' during their first encounter. This doubles as a Big Damn Heroes moment.

* AdaptationalModesty: During the Zygerrian Slavers arc, Ahsoka is put in a rather [[GoGoEnslavement fanservice-y slave outfit]]. However, this outfit is very modest compared to the outfit from the comic book storyline the Zygerrian Slavers arc was adapted from, which was even more revealing than her default appearance
* AffectionateNickname:
** Anakin occasionally calls Ahsoka "Snips".
** Plo Koon occasionally calls her "Little 'Soka".
* AffirmativeActionGirl: ''The Clone Wars'' has a lot of {{Action Girl}}s, but Padmé was the only female character in the Prequel Trilogy with an active role.

* AirVentPassageway: The writers appear to be in love with this trope:
** In "Duel of the Droids", Ahsoka escapes Grievous this way.
** In "Cloak of Darkness", Ventress uses the air vents to infiltrate and sabotage a Republic ''Venator'' Star Destroyer unnoticed.
** In "Holocron Heist", Cad Bane infiltrates the Jedi

** In "Brain Invaders", Ahsoka and
** In "Assassin", Aurra Sing uses these during her assassination attempts on Padmé.
** In "Nightsisters", Ventress and her fellow Nightsisters infiltrate Count Dooku's palace through the air vents.
** [[LampshadeHanging Lampshaded]] in "The Citadel". With the entry point that the Jedi wants to use being blocked, Anakin and Obi-Wan muse how to get in and Ahsoka points on the ventilation hatch. Anakin argues that they are too small to gain access, but Ahsoka points out that though they might be too small for Anakin, Obi-Wan, and the clone troopers and she might be able to squeeze through — which she is, although barely. In "Counterattack", Obi-Wan's entire team tries to escape the Citadel in absurdly spacious air vents. However, the air vents have lethally effective security doors and the warden at least has enough common sense to send at least one drone in the air vents.
** In "A Test of Strength", Hondo immediately [[RealityEnsues recognizes the trick]] and has smoke bombs dropped into the vents to flush out the occupants.

** During the Onderon arc, the Republic decides to train and supply the Onderon resistance to the Separatist puppet king in order to occupy Separatist resources in combating a costly guerrilla campaign. However, as the story arc progresses, their stated rationale changes to using the resistance because they cannot get openly involved in an internal Onderonian matter. The change in motivation is never explained, but leads to disaster for the resistance when the Separatists send in heavier forces and the Republic refuses to commit heavier forces or weapons to fight them. Anakin eventually circumvents the issue by [[spoiler:hiring Hondo to deliver heavy weapons to the resistance, giving the Republic deniability.]]
** During the Shadow Collective arc, the Jedi state that they cannot get involved [[spoiler:in the Death Watch/Shadow Collective’s takeover of Mandalore since Obi-Wan (who ''does'' want to get involved) confirms that the Death Watch and Separatists are no longer allies. As a purely internal Mandalorian matter, the situation is out of their hands, but Obi-Wan goes anyway and the story arc ends with him going back to the Republic to tell them that the Sith are involved, which he expects will lead to a full invasion and occupation of Mandalore.]]
* AlienSky: Used quite often for the various planets the heroes visit. A planet having multiple moons is the most frequent use of this trope:
** Some of the moons on Iego are visible during the day (albeit just vaguely).
** Dathomir's sky is always blood red and the planet has four moons.
** Mortis' sky was filled with levitating rocks.
** Lola Sayu's sky has a deep violet color and it's primary light sources seem to be the giant, sulfuric, yellow-colored lava oceans on it's surface, giving it a bottom lighting. Further more, it's [[AsteroidThicket planetary ring]] is visible from the surface.
** Abafar's orange sky is so thick that it makes it impossible to see the sun.
* AllCGICartoon: The animation style that the show uses.
* AllPlanetsAreEarthLike:
** Almost every planet visited have atmospheres breathable to them regardless of their species, as well as gravity equal to each other's. {{Justified|Trope}} as these worlds would be most useful to a galactic society composed of species mainly from these types of planets. There are other planets that exist, but they do not appear for the most part. Although, several characters from worlds with abnormal gravity (Kyuzo, like Embo) or atmospheres (Kel Dor, like Plo Koon) do appear.
** [[DownplayedTrope Downplayed]] with Quarzite. It's said that the planet's surface has a high-pressure atmosphere and only the underground is safely inhabitable. However, the atmosphere ''within'' those underground tunnels is perfectly fine.
* AlwaysChaoticEvil: ''The Clone Wars'' [[AvertedTrope averts]] this trope, showing several species who had previously only been encountered as antagonists into loyal and committed members of the Galactic Republic, including (but not limited to) Rodians (Greedo), Dugs (Sebulba), and Toydarians (Watto). And, as the name implies (as of "Heroes on Both Sides"), this aversion also applies to the Separatists.
* AlwaysNight: It's always night on Umbara (which is also known as the Shadow World). It’s quite fitting since the [[MeaningfulName name]] is based on "umbra", the Latin word for "shadow" or "shade".
* AmazonBrigade: The Nightsisters.
* AnachronicOrder: ''The Clone Wars'' has a significant amount of story arcs and standalone episodes that are aired anachronistically. This allows for the viewers to be able to discover the additional elements that surround a story arc and/or standalone episode they had already watched. The official episode guides help with the identification and lead to some AllThereInTheManual moments. For a full chronological listing of episodes, see [[Recap/StarWarsTheCloneWarsFullChronologicalOrder here]].
** The chronological order of the Christophsis arc is "Cat and Mouse" (2:16), "The Hidden Enemy" (1:16), and the PilotMovie.
** The chronological order of the Ryloth arc is "Supply Lines" (3:03), "Ambush" (1:01), and the Ryloth trilogy ("Storm Over Ryloth", "Innocents of Ryloth", and "Liberty of Ryloth"; 1:19-21).
** The chronological order of the Domino Squad arc is "Clone Cadets" (3:01), "Rookies" (1:05), and "ARC Troopers" (3:02).
** The Holocron arc ("Holocron Heist", "Cargo of Doom", and "Children of the Force"; 2:01-03) takes place before "Assassin" (3:07), "Evil Plans" (3:08), "Hostage Crisis" (1:22), and "Hunt for Ziro" (3:09) (which are part of the Ziro the Hutt arc that began with the PilotMovie).
** "Heroes on Both Sides" (3:10) and "Pursuit of Peace" (3:11) take place before "Senate Murders" (2:15).
** The Onderon and Young Jedi arcs take place before "Revival" (5:01) since [[spoiler:Adi Gallia]] is alive in the former and Hondo's base on Florrum is still intact (at least until the end of the latter). Averted on the season five DVD/Blu-Ray release, where "Revival" is in its correct chronological placement and grouped with the Shadow Collective arc (which is the story arc that it is actually part of).
* AndKnowingIsHalfTheBattle: [[InvertedTrope Inverted]], as the Aesop comes ''before'' the episode actually starts. Some episodes do play this straight whenever characters discuss the lessons that they have learned from their experiences.
* AndThenWhat: At the end of the Umbara arc, a dejected Rex and Fives discuss the war. When Fives attempts to cheer Rex up by pointing out that the war will eventually end, Rex wonders what will happen to all the Clone Troopers once it does. Fives does not know and cannot think of anyone who does.
* AngelicAliens: The Angels are essentially this trope. They were first
* {{Animorphism}}: The Daughter and the Son can respectively turn into a griffin and a gargoyle at will.
* AnyoneCanDie: PlayedWith. While the characters who appear in ''Film/RevengeOfTheSith'' and/or the Original Trilogy have to survive, everyone else is allowed to die.
* ArbitrarySkepticism: In "Mystery of a Thousand Moons", Anakin and Obi-Wan immediately dismiss the idea of the planet being cursed/haunted by a phantom called "Drol" as superstition. While they turned out to had been correct to doubt in this case, the fact remains that they regularly use PsychicPowers granted to them by the SentientCosmicForce. [[JustifiedTrope Justified]] in that belief in the Force explicitly renders spirits impossible, as all beings [[AscendToAHigherPlaneOfExistence become one with the Force]] when they die. The idea that someone can return from the Force to communicate with the living is met with equal skepticism from Ki-Adi-Mundi during the Yoda arc.
* ArcVillain: Since ''The Clone Wars'' follows an anthology format of loosely connected {{Story Arc}}s, most of the villains have an antagonistic role during only one story arc and never show up again as a result of being either arrested or killed. Also, an interesting case is that a number of them are small-scale [[TheDragon dragons]] to Count Dooku instead of independent antagonists with an agenda of their own.
* ArcWelding:
** As noted above at AnachronicOrder, the first half of ''The Clone Wars''' third season expands on, ties together, and/or concludes some of the story arcs in the series’ first two seasons.
** The Shadow Collective arc, which presents [[spoiler:Darth Maul and Savage Opress forming an alliance with Death Watch]], ties the Nightsisters and Brothers arc to the Mandalore arc.
* ArmedWithCanon: This is Creator/GeorgeLucas' approach to many elements of the canon in ''The Clone Wars'', which he tends to outline in precise details for the writers to use.
* ArmorIsUseless: In most cases, the body armor that some of the Jedi wear is not shown providing any protection from enemy blaster fire or protection against unarmed hand blows.
* ArsonMurderAndJaywalking: In "To Catch a Jedi", [[spoiler:while Ahsoka is on run after being framed for bombing the Jedi Temple hangar, she

* BackToBackBadasses:
** Obi-Wan and Satine have one of these moments in "Voyage of Temptation", when, upon being attacked by numerous tiny, spider-like assassin droids, Obi-Wan defends with his lightsaber while Satine equips a deactivator hold-out pistol and begins firing at the assassin probes.
** Jedi General Ima-Gun Di and his Clone Captain Keeli perform this feat in "Supply Lines" during their last stand on
--->'''Ima-Gun Di:''' Captain Keeli!\\
'''Captain Keeli:''' I'm not finished yet, Sir... we can do this, General!\\
'''Ima-Gun Di:''' Then let's make the end memorable!
** Obi-Wan and Ventress, of all people, have a moment of this in "Revenge" while they are engaged in a lightsaber duel against Darth Maul and Savage Opress.
* BadassArmy: The clone troopers are most certainly this trope.
* BadassBeard: Certain characters like Obi-Wan and Count Dooku have very nicely designed facial hair.
* BadassBoast:
** Yoda delivers an awesome one to [[spoiler:his EnemyWithout]] in "Destiny".
--->'''Yoda:''' [[ShutUpHannibal Part of me you are]], but power over me you have not!
** "Unfinished Business", which has been released in story reel format on the official ''Star Wars'' website, features Mace Windu giving one to a group of battle droids:
--->'''Mace Windu:''' My name is General Mace Windu, of the Jedi Order. At this point of the Clone War, I have dismantled and destroyed over 100,000 of you type 1 battle droids. I am giving you an opportunity to peacefully lay down your weapons, so that you may be reprogrammed to serve a better purpose than spreading the mindless violence and chaos which you have inflicted upon the galaxy.
* BadassFamily: Chairman Papanoida's family are presented as being this in "Sphere of Influence". Papanoida, his son, and his daughter take on an entire bar full of bloodthirsty outlaws and bounty hunters and ''win''.

* BadBoss:
** Grievous regularly destroys and "abuses" the Battle Droids under his command [[SurroundedByIdiots out of frustration towards their incompetence]].
** Osi Sobeck (the commander of the Citadel) executes Separatist droids not just for failure, but for ''discovering someone else's failure''.
** [[AvertedTrope Averted]] with Hondo Ohnaka, who appears to treat his men remarkably well. For a pirate captain, anyway.

** In "Cloak of Darkness", [[spoiler:Ventress successfully cripples the Republic cruiser and the traitorous Captain Argyus breaks out Nute Gunray.]]
** In "Lair of Grievous", [[spoiler:Grievous kills all the clone troopers and one of the two Jedi attempting to capture him, which results in Kit Fisto being forced to escape.]]
** In "Heroes on Both Sides", [[spoiler:Grievous' bombing of Coruscant goes off without a hitch, Padmé's bill fails to pass, Mina Bonteri is killed, and the war profiteers get everything they wanted.]]
** In "Massacre" (which features EvilVsEvil), [[spoiler:Grievous commits genocide against the Nightsisters, wiping out all but Ventress and Talzin.]]
** In "The Lawless", [[spoiler:Darth Maul thwarts Obi-Wan's rescue attempt and then executes Satine in front of him just to torment him. In turn, while Obi-Wan escapes Mandalore, Darth Sidious arrives on Mandalore and kills Savage and captures Maul, making it an example of the ''worse'' guy winning.]]
** In "Orders", [[spoiler:Fives fails to convince anyone of the hidden conspiracy against the Jedi, is killed by Commander Fox, and Palpatine pins the whole affair on a brain parasite.]]
** The entirety of ''The Clone Wars'' qualifies through the fact that no one realizes that Palpatine is playing both sides for fools, weakening them to the point where he will able to corrupt Anakin Skywalker, proclaim himself Emperor of the Galactic Empire, and exterminate the Jedi Order and millions of others under his heel.
* BadGuysDoTheDirtyWork: PlayedWith. ''The Clone Wars'' occasionally features a heroic character perform an action that is morally questionable and provides an ethical dilemma for the other characters.
** [[spoiler:Anakin]] does this in "Voyage of Temptation" right after [[spoiler:Tal Merrik]] asks, "[[TemptingFate Come on then! Who will strike first and brand themselves a cold blooded killer?]]". This is made all the more poignant by the "Imperial March", Darth Vader's theme song, playing in the background.
--->'''[[spoiler:Anakin Skywalker:]]''' What? He was gonna blow up the ship.
** [[spoiler:Once Captain Rex captures General Krell in "Carnage of Krell", he intends to execute him [[ShootTheDog to prevent him from being freed by the Separatists]]. Dogma ultimately pulls the trigger for him.]]
** Rex himself gets in on the action during the Zygerrian Slavers arc. [[spoiler:Keeper Agruss brags to Obi-Wan that a Jedi would not kill an unarmed man. Rex is not a Jedi. Agruss '''really''' had it coming.]]
* BadNewsIrrelevantNews: In "A Sunny Day in the Void", WAC informs Colonel Gascon that he has good news and bad news. The bad news is that the ship is flying into a large group of comets. The good news is that he will have an excuse for the Jedi Council if his mission fails because of it.
* BaldOfAwesome:
** Mace Windu is bald in addition to being a very powerful Jedi Master that is strong in the Force and a member of the Jedi Council.
** Many clone troopers, particularly Captain Rex, have shaved their heads.
* BaldOfEvil:
** Asajj Ventress is a [[BaldWomen female example]].
** As of season four, [[ANaziByAnyOtherName Pre Vizsla]] has shaved his head and received a nasty scar from a fight with Count Dooku.
* BarbieDollAnatomy: The male characters who got a ShirtlessScene all lacked nipples. While this could be hand-waved in the case of RubberForeheadAliens like Kit Fisto, Savage Opress, Darth Maul, and other Zabrak Nightbrothers as NonHumansLackAttributes, it does not explain why Captain Rex, a human clone, lacks them as well.
* BashBrothers: Anakin and Obi-Wan are this, of course (although they are not biologically related). Maul and Savage also count as well.
* BatmanGambit:
** Count Dooku and Ziro's treachery. They create conflict for story arcs by exploiting how their betrayer will react.
** In "A Friend in Need", Lux Bonteri barges into a peace negotiation to loudly proclaim that Count Dooku [[spoiler:murdered his mother,]] for which he is brought before Dooku via a holographic transmission. Lux knew that this would happen, and brought a signal tracker so he can find where Dooku is hiding. His escape does not seem well thought out, but Ahsoka does interrupt.
* BattleInTheRain:
** In "Shadow Warrior", a storm begins exactly when Grievous and the Gungans start to fight. It was initially ''sunny'' both before and after the battle.
** In "The Jedi Who Knew Too Much", it begins to rain during [[spoiler:Ahsoka's escape from the Republic army HQ]]. The timing is more jarring than it would be usually because Coruscant is a weather-controlled planet.
* TheBattlestar: Several large capital ship classes serve both as fighter-carriers and battleships. The most prominently featured are the Republic ''Venator''-class and the Separatist ''Munificent''-class star frigates.
* BavarianFireDrill:
** In "Bombad Jedi", C-3PO manages to get a pair of battle droids to stop guarding a room he's trying to get into by warning about a incoming Jedi and just continuing to walk on past them when they dash off.
** In "A Necessary Bond", R2 cons his way past a Separatist droid security checkpoint by getting belligerent with the guards about his clearance. One of the battle droids, taking offense at an astromech droid talking back to him, warns that he could have R2 melted down before letting him go by.
** In "Secret Weapons", WAC-47 tricks a pair of Super Battle Droids into a closet by claiming to be under orders from General Grievous to run a security check, having them "hide" in the closet so he can trigger a power surge without damaging them.
* BeamOWar: There is one between the Son and the Daughter and later the Son and the Father in a square off against each other during the Mortis arc.
* TheBeastmaster: Jar Jar, of all people, has a way with animals.
* BeautifulDreamer: In "Brain Invaders", Barriss Offee and Ahsoka Tano are trapped aboard a MeatPuppet-infested ''Pelta''-class frigate. [[spoiler:Barriss is herself taken over and turns against Ahsoka, who cannot bring herself to kill her friend. When Ahsoka finally manages to subdue Barriss, she cradles her in her arms and holds her unconscious body until Ahsoka passes out as well and [[SleepCute lies with her]].]]
* BeautyIsNeverTarnished:
** Kalifa is certainly dirty enough to indicate that she has been trapped on the Trandoshan hunting word for a long time, but her hair is nonetheless still cut in a perfect and precise bob cut, despite being there longer than anyone else.
** During the Zygerrian Slavers arc, an entire colony of Togrutas are forced into a mining facility and they have been kept there for about two weeks at the least. Despite this, none of them have any bruises, scratches, or dirt on their faces when Obi-Wan gets sent there. It's made more poignant because Obi-Wan is already full of bruises and his tunic is torn when he arrives.
* BecomingTheMask: This is discussed during the Deception arc when [[spoiler:Obi-Wan was disguised as Rako Hardeen]].
* BelligerentSexualTension: Satine and Obi-Wan, who are pretty much the [[Theatre/MuchAdoAboutNothing Beatrice and Benedick]] of the series.
* BeneathTheEarth:
** In "Mercy Mission", C-3PO and R2-D2 end up wandering about the cave system beneath the surface of planet Aleen. There they encounter the inhabitants, who were causing earthquakes, trying to seal the breach between them and the surface because surface air is poisonous to them.
** In "Bounty", Asajj Ventress and Boba Fett's crew visit Quarzite, which is inhabitable only below the surface. The two native species (the Belugans and Kages) are engaged in a CivilWar.
** A double-fold, LostWorld version is the Wellspring of Life, which is a planet that is both the origin of all life and the birthplace of the Midi-chlorians. The planet itself is hidden inside SpaceClouds of glowing gases, emanating from countless "geysers" on the planet's rocky desert surface. Below the surface is a gigantic open space filled with the same gases with [[SpaceWhale Neebray mantas]] flying through it, between hundreds of levitating islands covered in lush jungles.
* BetterToDieThanBeKilled: In "The Mandalore Plot", a [[spoiler:Death Watch bomber]] commits suicide rather than be arrested and interrogated.
* BewareTheSillyOnes: Jar Jar is as clumsy as ever, but he does present surprising amounts of insight from time to time and has actually ''saved'' several of the heroes on multiple accounts by ''combining'' these traits.
* {{BFG}}: Some of the clone troopers use Z-6 rotary cannons, which are laser mini guns that have a blistering rate of fire.
* BigBad: [[TheChessmaster Darth Sidious]], who is secretly playing both sides of the war to his own ends.
* BigBadassBattleSequence: This happens every few episodes, interspersed with smaller confrontations and episodes with more personal stakes. A special note can be given to "Landing at Point Rain", where the Republic [[Film/AttackOfTheClones retakes Geonosis]], since there isn't any ActionFilmQuietDramaScene or a pause in the action where it slows down.
* BigBrotherInstinct:
** Obi-Wan to Anakin and Anakin to Ahsoka.
** Between Savage Opress and Darth Maul. Despite Maul's adherence to the Code of the Sith and forceful enforcement of the Rule of Two, his brother is still the only being he shows legitimate caring and concern for.
* BigCreepyCrawlies:
** The gutkurrs introduced in "Innocents of Ryloth" are essentially two-metre-tall fleas, with raptor legs. They are also carnivorous and more than happy to eat clone troopers.
** The milodons introduced in "Bounty" are giant centipedes large enough for a group of Kage Warriors to travel on their backs, and fast enough to catch up with a hover-subtram.
* BigEater: Ziro's mother is shown to be this trope.
* BigNo: This is used [[WorldOfHam quite a lot]], since it '''is''' ''Franchise/StarWars''.
** Barriss Offee yells one in "Brain Invaders" [[spoiler:when she gets possessed by a brain worm offscreen]].
** Anakin yells one in "Altar of Mortis" [[spoiler:when Ahsoka is temporarily killed by the Son of Mortis. [[BackFromTheDead She
** Obi-Wan yells one in "Revival" when [[spoiler:Savage Opress kills Adi Gallia]].
** Colonel Gascon yells one in "Point of No Return" when [[spoiler:M5-BZ sacrifices himself by opening the
* BilingualBonus: The Aurebesh script that is used throughout ''The Clone Wars'' is directly translatable to English, meaning every instance of its use is readable.
** The text stenciled into the Republic gunship commanded by Master Plo Koon as seen in "Citadel Rescue" says "Plo's Bros" above two-dimensional images of Plo and two clone troopers.
** Kix has a tattoo on the side of his head that reads "A good droid is a dead one".
** In "Cat and Mouse", we see on Admiral Yularen's computer that Admiral Trench is actually named Taranch.
* BilingualDialogue: This is a frequent occurrence between alien species and droids. When one of them speaks Basic, it often leads to RepeatingSoTheAudienceCanHear since there are [[RealityHasNoSubtitles no subtitles]].
* BinarySuns:
** Tatooine is a sparsely inhabited circumbinary desert planet that is part of a binary star system and oppressed by scorching suns.
** Mon Cala is a water planet that is revealed in "Gungan Attack" to orbit twin stars as well.
* BittersweetEnding:
** At the end of the Umbara arc, [[spoiler:the Republic finally captures Umbara and Krell gets killed by Dogma. However, the clone troopers themselves suffer a ton of casualties (such as Hardcase and Waxer) and Dogma is arrested.]]
** "Sacrifice" ends with this as well. [[spoiler:Yoda fights a vision of Darth Sidious on Moraband, but Sidious detaches himself from the vision before Yoda find out his identity as Palpatine. Nevertheless, Yoda gains a glimpse into the future and accepts that while the Jedi may [[ForegoneConclusion not be able to win the Clone Wars]], the light will prevail in the end.]]
* {{Bizarrchitecture}}:
** In the colony town on Kiros, all the buildings are designed after the Togruta's horns. This was an explicit statement that Kiros was populated largely by artists.
** Cato Neimoidia's cities are built on gigantic simple suspension bridges that are suspended between hill cliffs in addition to being hundreds if not thousands of meters above the ground. While this alone would be weird enough, it's presented in "Sabotage" that some of them are hanging upside down from said bridges.
** Coruscant's undercity is so massive that there are skyscrapers hanging down from the layer above.
* BlackAndGrayMorality: The Republic and Jedi Order do questionable things, which becomes more apparent in the later seasons. In addition to leading an army of soldiers [[ChildSoldiers trained to fight since birth]] (the moral implications of which are brought up from time to time as early as the first season), there are some senators only out for their own interests and the Jedi Order has taken some [[WhatTheHellHero questionable actions]], such as [[spoiler:their willingness to throw Ahsoka over to a biased Republic court when she is falsely accused of murder and treason]]. On the other hand, while the Separatists have some good people, they have some truly evil people as well and those few good people either do not have any real influence on the Separatist cause or ([[spoiler:like Mina Bonteri]]) get removed. This is all a result of [[BigBad Palpatine]] playing both sides.
* TheBladeAlwaysLandsPointyEndIn: This happens with Garnac's dagger after Ahsoka kicks it out of his hand in "Wookiee Hunt".
* BleakBorderBase: "Rookies" takes place on the barren Rishi moon, home only to a small scanning outpost and the gigantic Rishi eels. Naturally, the Separatists attack it.
* BlondeBrunetteRedhead: Satine (blond), Bo-Katan (redhead), and [[Comicbook/DarthMaulSonOfDathomir Rook Kast]] (brunette) are the three major female characters of the Shadow Collective arc.
* BloodKnight:
** Clone trooper Hevy wields a [[MoreDakka Z-6 rotary cannon]] and seems to enjoy standing out in the open hosing down the enemy while bellowing things like "you want a piece of ''this?''" when ordered to seek cover. Other clones speculate his tank must have been damaged in some way while he was gestating. His SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute, Hardcase, also has this tendency, though [[DownplayedTrope downplayed]].
** The Mandalorian Death Watch are made of this trope. As presented in "A Friend in Need", they torment droids by taking potshots at them and they torch unarmed settlements.
* BloodierAndGorier: Since the sixth season was released on Netflix, they could go significantly more graphic with the violence in a few instances, such as the deaths of [[spoiler:Fives and Commander Thorn]]. Both are killed by blaster bolts to the chest. However, unlike the dozens of other such moments, the camera focuses on the huge ''glowing'' holes left by the blasters.
* BloodlessCarnage: PlayedWith. It is [[JustifiedTrope justified]] in most cases, as lightsabers and blasters cauterize wounds instantly, thought there are occasional [[AvertedTrope aversions]].
** Played straight during the Nightsisters and Brothers arc, Ventress spears and slashes several Nightbrothers and Savage tears through Clone Troopers as well as two Jedi (through outright ''impaling'' one of them) and not a drop of blood is seen. This is with an ordinary spear, mind you.
** [[AvertedTrope Averted]] with [[spoiler:Riff Tamson, whose explosive death results in a murky cloud of blood trailing from floating chunks of flesh and his severed head.]]
** [[AvertedTrope Averted]] in ''Son of Dathomir'' through being an adaptation of an unaired story arc aimed at teenage or older fans, which allowed them to get away with more explicit violence (General Grievous makes a man bleed on him) than what would have been allowed on television (although ''The Clone Wars'' already got a lot of stuff past the censors when there was some censorship).
* BodyCountCompetition: In "Landing at Point Rain", Anakin and Ahsoka start one up. At the end, Anakin has 55 while Ahsoka has 60. Then Ki-Adi-Mundi says he has 65 and asks what his prize was, to which Anakin responds that it is his everlasting respect.
* BodyHorror:
** Savage Opress's transformation in "Monster", where his body mutates into a larger, more powerful form. His bones audibly crack as they expand and his horns visibly extend from his skull.
** [[spoiler:Obi-Wan's transformation into "Rako Hardeen"]] in "Deception", which involves his skin visibly warping, and his skull reshaping itself to create his new face. Judging from his reactions, the procedure was ''very'' painful.
** Darth Maul's condition in "Brothers". His missing lower body has been replaced with a crude, spider-like apparatus, his horns have tripled in length, he has lost an unhealthy amount of weight, and there are veins visible all over his body. His symptoms are healed by Mother Talzin and his missing legs replaced with a more humanoid prosthetic in "Revenge".
* BondOneLiner:
** "Duel of the Droids": After General Grievous kills [[spoiler:Gha Nachkt]] when the latter demanded more money for capturing R2-D2, he responds to his demands by gloating, "There's your bonus."
** "Bounty": When Ventress kills a man in a bar, the patrons all look at her strangely. After she delivers a one-liner they all go back to what they were doing.
* BondVillainStupidity:
** In "Hostage Crisis", a group of bounty hunters manage to disable and capture Anakin after [[DieHardOnAnX he tries to stop their invasion of the Senate Office Building]]. However, instead of just killing him like they did with ''every other soldier who tried to stop them'', they tie him up and leave him with the Senators, planning to kill him with a bomb later.
** In "The Mandalore Plot", the Death Watch manage to knock Obi-Wan unconscious and then put him on the ever so cliché ConveyorBeltODoom with a rock grinder at the end. Their justification for this is so it [[MakeItLookLikeAnAccident looks like an accident]]. Later, when he is on the run and disarmed, Pre Vizsla shows up with several mooks and he proceeds to return Obi-Wan's lightsaber [[LetsFightLikeGentlemen so they may duel fairly]].
** In "Nightsisters", [[spoiler:Asajj Ventress]] decides to get revenge on Count Dooku after he betrays her and receives a poison dart that will impair his sight and reflexes so she can defeat him in the ensuing fight. Just making it a ''lethal'' poison is never considered by any of the assassins.
* BoomHeadshot: In "Counterattack", Osi Sobeck (the warden of the Citadel) executes a clone trooper with a direct shot to the face during his interrogation of the captured Jedi. Luckily for the rest of the clones, [[SavedByCanon Commander Cody]] was next in line, so fate had to intervene.
* BountyHunter: The second season was advertised as "Rise of the Bounty Hunters". Many Bounty Hunters became recurring characters throughout ''The Clone Wars'', receiving some episodes (along with a story arc towards the end of the season) dedicated to them as enemies of the main cast or the protagonists of an episode.
* BringItBackAlive: The Republic does this to the Zillo Beast. Inevitably, the Zillo Beast breaks free and wreaks havoc.
* BroadStrokes: As a result being confined to the new Disney-era canon system, ''The Clone Wars'' is a full and equal part of the ''Star Wars'' canon. However, since it was made under the previous regime, this comes up occasionally in regards to ''Legends'' material.
** Under the old system, ''Star Wars'' had a "level" system of canonicity, starting with the films and then cascading to include TV, novels, comics, specials and other entries in the ExpandedUniverse, with each entry receiving its own level determining its place in ''Star Wars'' history. Details from the "lower" levels are taken as needed to fit the story of the series, with frequent input from Creator/GeorgeLucas on what is or is not an immutable part of official canon (so, for instance, the series' version of Mandalore was largely a new invention and it was up to the novels to reconcile their portrayal with this one rather than vice-versa). Some of the references to old EU material in ''The Clone Wars'' may be taken to mean that those works are BroadStrokes within the Canon — for instance, the cameo by Delta Squad, heroes of ''VideoGame/RepublicCommando''.
* BroughtDownToNormal: [[DownplayedTrope Downplayed]] in "Hostage Crisis"; Anakin, while not removed of his Force abilities, finds himself trying to offset a HostageSituation without his lightsaber. He is capable of superhuman feats on his own, but things are much more difficult for him without his WeaponOfChoice.
* BulletDancing: In "A Friend in Need", the Death Watch make a bunch of droids "dance" by firing under their feet.
* BusFullOfInnocents:
** Kaliida Shoals Medical Center serves the role as this in "Shadow of ''Malevolence''", as the ''Malevolence'' intended to destroy it while it was full of injured clones and under the command of Dr. Nala Se.
** A town inhabited by Ming Po on the planet Carlac serves the role as this in "A Friend in Need" as a result of being held hostage by the Death Watch.
* ButForMeItWasTuesday: In "A Friend in Need", Count Dooku acts like this when discussing the death of [[spoiler:Mina Bonteri]] with Lux. He claims that he cannot recall her death since it was so meaningless on a grand scale. It is clear he was just doing it to be a jerk, though.
* ByTheBookCop: Inspector Tan Divo is essentially this, as he will tolerate no outside interference in his investigations. Unfortunately, his investigations tends to move pretty slowly, making outside action necessary.
* CanonImmigrant: ''The Clone Wars'' has become retroactively full of these since the Disney buyout made [[Franchise/StarWarsLegends Legends old continuity]] no longer canon. Just like the six original ''Star Wars'' films, ''The Clone Wars'' has been included by Disney to be part of their ''Star Wars'' canon. Any character or lore that ascended from the "lower" levels of the old canon system[[labelnote:*]]See the Legends page for details of the old "cascading" system[[/labelnote]] has been carried forward into the new continuity [[BroadStrokes in at least some capacity]], such as [[Literature/DarkDisciple Asajj Ventress and Quinlan Vos]], the existence of Delta Squad from ''Videogame/RepublicCommando'' or the Selkath from ''Videogame/KnightsOfTheOldRepublic'' and locations like [[Comicbook/TalesOfTheJedi Onderon and its capital Iziz]] and Korriban/Moraband. It remains to be seen, though, if those elements of old continuity will ever be developed further or their status clarified.
* CaptainErsatz:
** Savage Opress was explicitly created as a replacement for Darth Maul via being from the same species and given the same form of weapon (Maul had, supposedly, died). Opress, ironically, became so popular among the creative team that they made him and Maul brothers and used Savage to have Maul return in ''The Clone Wars''.
** "The Box" featured no less than thirteen bounty hunters, of which only five made it to the end. To avoid killing off popular characters and to save production costs on making new models, quite a lot of them are simply re-colored versions of pre-existing bounty hunters: Jakoli for Greedo, Twazzi for Rumi Paramita (who was introduced in "Bounty Hunters"), Mantu for Chata Hyoki (who was introduced in "Pursuit of Peace"). Sixtat is almost identical to a minor nameless character is "Wookiee Hunt".
%% This is a zero context example. Please do not unhide until further context has been added. * Captain Obvious: Ahsoka plays this part every now and then.
* CaptainSmoothAndSergeantRough: Commander Cody (Smooth) and Captain Rex (Rough), especially in "Rookies" where they are paired together without their associated Jedi. Their personalities also mirror their immediate Jedi Generals; Cody reports to Obi-Wan (Smooth) and Rex reports to Anakin (Rough).
* CardboardPrison:
** Subverted in "The Gungan General". Hondo's prison cells are not much of a hindrance for Obi-Wan, Anakin, and Dooku, but being chained to each other and not knowing the outline of the base ''is''.
** The Republic Judiciary Central Detention Center on Coruscant. Apparently, the guards allowed Aurra Sing in to talk to Ziro. Cad Bane admits to having escaped from it multiple times, including a case when he broke out Aurra (according to WordOfGod). Then in "Deception", Cad Bane, Moralo Eval, Rako Hardeen, Boba Fett, and Bossk stage a mass breakout during a prison riot.
** The Mandalorian prison. Within "Shades of Reason" and "The Lawless", there are four breakouts from it, although admittedly one of them the guards wanted to happen. The prisoner saved in the last one doesn't even get ''inside'' the facility.
* CarFu: Captain Rex practices ''speeder''-fu, as he saves the Chairman of Pantora from being killed by a Talz by riding ''over'' the chairman and knocking back the attacker.
* CargoCult: Some droids set one of these up on a primitive world in "Nomad Droids", with [[HugeHolographicHead a giant hologram]]. R2-D2 sees right through it, exposing them and personally kicking one of them out of their HackerCave. Then, [[TurnedAgainstTheirMasters the natives destroy their facility]], which was apparently MadeOfExplodium.
* CassandraTruth: In "The Jedi Who Knew Too Much", [[spoiler:Ahsoka quickly realizes that no one will believe she didn't murder Letta.]]
* CasualDangerDialog: PlayedForLaughs frequently throughout the entire war.
* CavalryOfTheDead: The Nightsisters are able to revive the corpses of their fallen to battle on their behalf. Though effective against the Separatist droids, Grievous treats them like only a nuisance.
* CeilingCling:
** Ahsoka is quite prone to using this:
*** In "Sphere of Influence", she manages to do this while using the Force to suspend Senator Chuchi off the ground.
*** In "Ghosts of Mortis", she clings onto their shuttle's ceiling to escape from [[spoiler:Anakin, who's temporarily joined the Son.]]
*** In "The Jedi Who Knew Too Much", [[spoiler:after she gets framed for terrorism and murder, she uses it to avoid a group of clone troopers searching for her in the building of the GAR HQ.]]
** In "Eminence", Sugi uses it to make the jump on Maul, who is threatening her current employers (the Hutt Clan).
* ChainedHeat: [[AvertedTrope Averted]] in "The Gungan General". Obi-Wan and Anakin do not become better friends with Dooku, which is [[ForegoneConclusion the way it has to be]].
-->'''Dooku:''' I would kill you both right now if I did not have to drag your bodies.
* ChairReveal:
** In "Lair of Grievous", Fisto and Nahdar walk up to a chair in which they think Nute Gunray is sitting. When they turn it around, it is revealed that Gunray was present only via a holographic transmission.
** In "Senate Murders", after Padmé and Bail have been ambushed while investigating the death of [[spoiler:Onaconda Farr]], they assume that [[spoiler:Senator Mee Deechi]] set them up and go to confront him. When they turn his chair around, they discover him with a dagger in his chest.
* CharacterDevelopment:
** Throughout ''The Clone Wars'', there are [[{{Foreshadowing}} hints]] of Anakin's future as Darth Vader, with circumstances frequently pushing him to more pragmatic and cold-blooded actions during the war.
** Asajj Ventress gets some of this in "Nightsisters" and her subsequent appearances after this episode. Before this episode, she is just a CardCarryingVillain.
** At the end of the Umbara arc, Rex hesitates [[spoiler:to execute Pong Krell, who taunts him for being conflicted about it, resulting in Dogma stepping in and taking the shot for him. At the end of the Zygerrian Slavers arc, Rex is the one who kills a similarly smug villain who is taunting Obi-Wan for ''his'' inability to do it.]]
* CharacterizationMarchesOn: In "The Mandalore Plot", Pre Vizsla is a political terrorist bent on rebuilding the Mandalorian warrior culture. By the time of the fourth season, he has become a psychotic madman who burns down villages for fun after his time in exile.
* ChemicallyInducedInsanity: During the Order 66 arc, Fives finds out about the fact that the control chips in the clone troopers will force them to kill the Jedi when Order 66 is activated. [[spoiler:A Kaminoan doctor named Nala Se drugs him with something that makes him ultra-paranoid. This, combined with Palpatine telling him the truth about everything, has Fives acting more and more deranged until he is killed by Commander Fox.]]
* TheChessmaster: Palpatine is manipulating almost everyone to make sure the war lasts as long and becomes as intense as possible. "Duchess of Mandalore" is perhaps the only episode where he suffers a real defeat.
* TheChewToy: If you're a battle droid, then it sucks to be you.
* ChildSoldiers:
** Ahsoka is an adolescent Padawan learner who participates in the battles and missions of the Clone Wars. Some characters have called attention to it, but no one really sees a problem with sending a teenager into fatal situations when, by the very definition of being a Padawan, she has not yet completed her Jedi training. This is especially evident in the first season when Ahsoka becomes upset after losing most of her squadron in "Storm Over Ryloth", showing that she is unable to cope with the emotional toll of warfare. After the short timeskip, Ahsoka instead seems to be more annoyed that Anakin has apparently realized this himself and is holding her back from partaking in the more dangerous missions.
** In "ARC Troopers" (during the Battle of Kamino), several clone troopers ended up in the barracks for the still-children clone cadets undergoing basic training. The cadets are armed and brought into the fight as part of a trap set for the Separatist droids sent to kill them and the other clones still being trained.
** Technically, all the clone troopers qualify as this since they are actually around [[YoungerThanTheyLook 11-12 years old]] despite their accelerated aging.
* ChronicBackstabbingDisorder: Count Dooku and the Separatist generals have a persistent habit of screwing over the local leaders and/or populations they ally with for help in taking over systems — sometimes for failing to fall in line as utterly as they want, sometimes for no real reason at all. Given that it's run by a pair of Sith Lords, the all-time masters of backstabbing [[YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness once they no longer need people]] (or [[ManipulativeBastard because they need people]]), it's not surprising.
* ClickHello: In "Rookies", commando droids who have taken over an outpost manned by clone troopers wear clone armor to try and deceive more arriving clones. Captain Rex turns the tables on them via pretending to be a commando droid in clone armor (and holding up a severed commando droid head for a camera when asked to remove a helmet). Rex keeps repeating "[[CatchPhrase Roger roger]]", leading the other commando droids to think his vocabulator is malfunctioning, right up until they open the door.
-->'''Commando Droid:''' Clones!\\
'''Captain Rex:''' Roger, roger. ''[BLAM]''
* ClonesArePeopleToo: ''The Clone Wars'' has several episodes which highlight [[WeHaveReserves the casual way that clone troopers are discarded]], but it comes to a head during the Umbara arc. The clone troopers begin to resist after they [[GeneralFailure continuously receive horrible and incompetent orders]]. They do not mind dying for the cause, but dying ''pointlessly'' is going too far. [[spoiler:They ultimately [[MistreatmentInducedBetrayal turn on their leader]], claiming that they are not [[WhatMeasureIsANonhuman droids]], but ''men''.]]
* CloningBlues:
** In "The Hidden Enemy", the question of a problem during the cloning procedure is raised in order to help explain the actions of a rogue clone trooper.
** The blues are revealed to be an expanding issue during the third season. With Jango dead, the Kaminoan doctors do not have fresh genetic stock, so Jango's stored template has been used more than intended. While they seem to be pretty good at keeping problems to a minimum, there are defective clones.
* ColdBloodedTorture: Played with in a few episodes. The risks inherent to doing this are notably touched upon in "Cargo of Doom", where the subject dies during the interrogation.
* ColdSniper:
** Aurra Sing is shown to be this in "Assassin" and "Hostage Crisis".
** An unidentified Death Watch assassin is presented as this in "Duchess of Mandalore".
* ColourCodedArmies:
** The colors on the clone troopers' uniforms represent the military division in the Republic army that they are part of along with who they serve under. Blue is for the members of the 501[-[[superscript:st]]-] Legion (which is under Anakin's command), orange is for the members of the 212[-[[superscript:th]]-] Attack Battalion (which is under Obi-Wan's command), grey is for the members of the Wolfpack (which is under Plo Koon's command), and green is for the members of the 41[-[[superscript:st]]-] Elite Corps (which is under Luminara Unduli's command). [[LawOfChromaticSuperiority Red is for the Clone Troopers stationed on Coruscant.]]
** In "Carnage of Krell", the clone troopers that are members of the 501[-[[superscript:st]]-] Legion wear blue while the enemy Umbarans wearing stolen uniforms wear orange. [[spoiler:Except the "enemies" are clone troopers as well, and ''both'' sides have been told the other were impersonators [[TheUriahGambit so they would wipe each other out]].]]
** Usually, the blasters of the side for which the audience is supposed to cheer for are firing blue laserbolts and the "antagonists" are firing red. It becomes a bit jarring when Hondo's temporary split-up gang starts fighting: those who remained faithful to Hondo are using blue, while the traitors are using red. Once they reunite all blasters turn blue despite using red before. This may indicate that the color [[JustifiedTrope is used in-universe as a tracer to better identify which side is which.]]
* CombatBreakdown: In "Hunt for Ziro", Obi-Wan and Quinlan Vos fight Cad Bane. They initially all use their primary weapons (lightsabers vs. blasters), but are all disarmed one after the other. They eventually resort to just their fists, jet-boots (Cad Bane), the Force, wrist flamethrowers, and all the other miscellaneous gadgets two Jedi and a bounty hunter have at their disposal.
* CombatPragmatist:
** General Grievous is more than willing to use cheap tactics and sic [=MagnaGuard=]s on his target before going in himself. It makes his presence much different than Asajj Ventress or Count Dooku, and makes him different than a straight-up badass.
** Cad Bane lives this trope since he is a non-Force user who often finds himself fighting Jedi.
** Pre Vizsla will not hesitate to use blasters, flamethrowers, or his jetpack to get the edge in a fight with a Jedi.
* ComicBookFantasyCasting: Cad Bane is explicitly modeled on Lee Van Cleef, who was the star of many westerns in TheSixties.
* CommLinks: They are often used exactly in the manner described on the trope page: a tiny SuperWristGadget, with only a few buttons, yet the caller always calls the right "number", and the caller is always available. They also work between characters star systems away from each other and between spaceships while they are traveling in hyperspace.
* ComplainingAboutRescuesTheyDontLike: In "The Mandalore Plot", Obi-Wan starts complaining before Satine has finished rescuing him.
-->'''Obi-Wan Kenobi:''' Well it certainly took you long enough.\\
'''Satine Kryze:''' You know I haven't saved you yet.\\
'''Obi-Wan Kenobi:''' Yes, no need to remind me of that.\\
'''Satine Kryze:''' Be patient.\\
'''Obi-Wan Kenobi:''' I happen to be a bit short on patience right now.
* ConcealmentEqualsCover: [[ZigzaggedTrope Zigzagged.]] Hiding behind a wooden table can occasionally protect someone from blaster-fire, while at other times the same blasters can shoot straight through a body and still leave glowing a hole on the wall behind. Walls seem to provide effective cover, yet on at least one occasion the clone troopers could destroy support pillars made of solid stone with hand-held blasters.
* ConservationOfNinjitsu: The Separatist droid army outnumbers the Republic clone army, but the clone troopers can be creative. This is especially blatant with Force-users; if you have a lightsaber (even if all your enemies have lightsabers), you're going to have no problems holding your own until you get into one-on-one combat again.
* ContinuityCameo:
** "Witches of the Mist" starts with a short appearance by [[VideoGame/StarWarsRepublicCommando Delta Squad]].
** "Wookiee Hunt" has one with Tarfful, the Wookiee Chieftain that fans of ''VideoGame/StarWarsRepublicCommando'' should also immediately recognize. Also, some of the Trandoshans use the energy shotguns from that game.
* ContinuityNod: See [[ShoutOut/StarWarsTheCloneWars here]].
* ContinuityPorn: ''The Clone Wars'' is so full of {{Continuity Nod}}s that they are sharing a [[ShoutOut/StarWarsTheCloneWars page of their own]] with the {{Shout Out}}s.
* ContinuitySnarl: [[ZigzaggedTrope Zigzagged.]] This is mostly averted in regards to the canon, as not only did the ''[[Franchise/StarWarsLegends Legends]]'' decision render all previous ExpandedUniverse material outside ''The Clone Wars'' and the six original ''Star Wars'' films non-canon and thus leaving it with very little to contradict, almost every work in the [[Franchise/StarWarsExpandedUniverse canon]] has consistently worked with elements that were introduced. However, ''The Clone Wars'' is part of both Canon ''and'' Legends due to the
* ContinuousDecompression:
** In "A Test of Strength", Ahsoka [[ExploitedTrope exploits]] this in a plan to get Hondo's pirates off her ship by firing the engines to disrupt the seal on their docking clamp. The resulting lack of pressure will suck everyone back through the docking tube. Aside from dragging one unfortunate pirate through the hole, this plan works pretty much as intended.
** This is used in "Point of No Return" to clear a room of buzz droids.
* ConvectionSchmonvection: [[ZigzaggedTrope Zigzagged]] in "Citadel Rescue". Characters hang mere meters over the lava with no problem in one scene, [[spoiler:yet the burial cloak for a Jedi burns before it touches it. Animals die instantly, yet said Jedi's wrapped corpse somehow ''floats downstream'' and the worst that happens is it is still on fire.]]
* ConveyorBeltODoom: It is still in vogue on the moons of Mandalore, apparently.
* CoolBike: Speeder bikes, the ''Star Wars'' equivalent, make frequent appearances. They come in non-armed "swoop" configurations, blaster-wielding military models, and with gunnery-mounted sidecars on occasion.
* CoolOldGuy:
** Yoda embodies this trope as a very powerful Jedi Master and one of the oldest characters featured. He is always there if someone needs advise with the Force, and he is not above having some fun if the situation allows it.
** Tera Sinube qualifies as this as well. His lightsaber hilt is ''[[SwordCane built into his cane]]''.
* CoolShip: ''The Clone Wars'' features a significant amount of amazing ships. Among them is the ''Twilight''. After being introduced in the PilotMovie however, it was used less and less as ''The Clone Wars'' progressed. By the time of "The Lawless" (its final appearance), it is in extremely poor shape and falling apart as Obi-Wan lands it on Mandalore. Obi-Wan decries its many deficiencies and claims that he will never borrow a ship from Anakin again.
* CorporateWarfare: The Separatist army is an amalgamation of several corporate armies.
* CorruptCorporateExecutive: The Trade Federation and ''especially'' the heads of the Banking Clan, both of whom cheat both sides of the war for massive profit — on Count Dooku's orders, no less. The Clovis arc involves removing the old, corrupt heads of the Banking Clan, [[spoiler:only for their successor to discover that Dooku will manipulate anyone in their position to become like them or die no matter what.]]
* CostumeEvolution: In the first
* CrazyPrepared: When Duchess Satine discovers a warehouse filled with smuggled, possibly toxic tea, she orders her guards to burn it down to display her disgust and refusal to accept corruption. Her guards, whose general duties are her personal protection and who currently are performing a criminal investigation, walk to their speeders and pull out '''flamethrowers''' that they apparently always carry.
* CreepyMonotone: The T-series Tactical Droids, Super Tactical Droids, and commando droids speak with monotone voices that are very creepy.
* CreepySouvenir:
** In "Lair of Grievous", it is revealed that lightsabers are not the only things collected by General Grievous. He has about a dozen Padawan braids on full display, all collected from ones he had slain.
** In "The Hidden Enemy", a clone trooper named Chopper is forced to reveal that he has been collecting the severed fingers of battle droids as trophies.
** In "Cargo of Doom", Cad Bane takes Ahsoka's Padawan braid as a
* CurbStompBattle: Quite a few:
** In "Ambush", Yoda beats Ventress using nothing but the Force, not deigning to move or draw his lightsaber. Essentially, the entire scene shows that she will never be a threat to him.
** Savage Opress single-handedly demolishes a battalion of clone troopers and slaughters two Jedi in "Monster".
** Anakin simultaneously [[spoiler:taming the Daughter and the Son, who are respectively the embodiments of the Light and Dark Sides of the Force.]]
** Darth Maul and Savage curb-stomp Obi-Wan in "Revenge", with Maul distracting him, then Savage getting the drop on him, brutally overpowering Obi-Wan, and ending with both of them beating Obi-Wan unconscious.
* CutShort: After Disney's acquisition of the ''Star Wars'' franchise, ''The Clone Wars'' was canceled after the end of the fifth season and the remaining episodes were released on Netflix. Despite this, both the last broadcast and the last released episodes serve as a fit ending for ''The Clone Wars'': one ties up the Fugitive arc and the other ends with a philosophical conclusion about the greater role of the Jedi in the Clone Wars. [[AvertedTrope Averted]] in 2018 however with the announcement of the series' [[UnCancelled renewal]].

[[folder:D-I]]
* DamselOutOfDistress: During the Trandoshan arc, she's kidnapped by Trandoshans and thrown out into a jungle to be hunted down. She refuses to hide and run, and decides to fight back against the lizards.
* DatingCatwoman: She's attracted to Lux Bonteri, the son of a Separatist leader. Later, he becomes a rogue element.
* DavidVersusGoliath:
** During the climax of "Wookiee Hunt", she has to fight Garnac, the Trandoshan leader. The guy is 2 meters tall, weighs 178 kilograms, has a very thick reptilian hide, and is armed with an axe and a knife in addition to his claws, and his species are on the same scale of physical strength as Wookiees. All Ahsoka has is her WaifFu and skills with the Force.
** In ''Rebels'', she's grown up since her Clone Wars days. So has Vader, so to speak. The featurette on the season two bluray set has Dave Filoni referencing the irony of Anakin teaching her to fight larger opponents.
* DeadpanSnarker: She seems to have picked this up from Anakin and Obi-Wan, neither of whom she is particularly averse to snarking at.
* DefectorFromDecadence: As a result of how the Jedi Order abandoned her when she had been framed for murder, Ahsoka decides not to return when given the offer. The event apparently shook her enough that she when she built a pair of new lightsabers during the events of ''Ahsoka'', they had white blades to symbolize her lack of affiliation with the Order.
* DesignatedVictim: She has a tendency of getting into ''real'' trouble very frequently. So far, she's been captured/kidnapped on six occasions, and the Fugitive arc has her accused of multiple homicides and terrorism/sedition.
* {{Deuteragonist}}: She is one of the secondary main characters of the ''The Clone Wars'' (the other one is Obi-Wan).
* DisneyDeath: The Son temporarily kills her after [[YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness she outlives her usefulness]]. Anakin and the Daughter bring her back by transferring the latter’s remaining life force to Ahsoka.
* DoNotCallMePaul: Inverted. When she makes her first full appearance to the crew of the ''Ghost'', she insists on being called by her real name -- Ahsoka Tano -- over her codename. Her codename is still used on occasion, however.
* DramaticIrony: Because she was not seen with Anakin and Obi-Wan in ''Revenge of the Sith'', many assumed she'd die before the end of ''The Clone Wars''. [[spoiler:As of the series finale of ''Rebels'', she's outlived both of them.]]
* DreamingOfThingsToCome: She foresees Aurra Sing's attempt to assassinate Padmé in her dreams in "Assassin" and has a vision of her adult self warning her about the darkness in Anakin in "Overlords." In "Wookiee Hunt", she dreams of Chewbacca's capture before the Trandoshans bring him to the planet.
* DualWielding: She has added a shoto (which is a short lightsaber) to her arsenal during the MidSeasonUpgrade between "Hunt for Ziro". and "Heroes on Both Sides" It doubles as a bit of ShownTheirWork as the offhand weapon is supposed to be shorter in RealLife martial arts.
* DudeMagnet: Besides a complicated romance with Lux, Ahsoka's attractiveness has been noted several times. Unfortunately, most of them were from slimey men.
* EffortlessAmazonianLift: In "Sabotage", after Anakin gets knocked out while piloting his starfighter and Artoo has to make a crash-landing on a too-short cliff, Ahsoka leaps over to his fighter, hoists him from it, and then jumps back to the cliff moments after the starfighter goes barreling off. This is especially impressive considering that she could barely lift him back in the season one episode "Jedi Crash".
* EmbarrassingNickname: The Mortis Arc reveals that Ahsoka hates it when Anakin calls her "Snips".
* EnsignNewbie: Lampshaded in the PilotMovie by Rex, who was quick to point out that even if she does outrank him, it doesn't make up for her lack of experience.
* ExactWords: [[spoiler:When Vader claims he destroyed Anakin, Ahsoka vows to avenge his death. [[{{Hypocrite}} Vader retorts that "revenge is not the Jedi way,"]] to which [[PreAssKickingOneLiner she responds thusly]]:]]
-->'''Ahsoka:''' ''[[spoiler:[[LoopholeAbuse I am no Jedi.]]]]''
* FacialMarkings: This is the cool part of her alien physiology that morphs with maturity.
* FakingTheDead: She and Rex did this after the Siege of Mandalore by creating a fake grave for him, and she left her original pair of lightsabers on it to sell the deception.
* FanservicePack: While she was already attractive from the beginning in ''The Clone Wars'', Ahsoka, being a teenager, understandably developed a more voluptuous yet athletic body after the MidSeasonUpgrade. Notably, while this trope is often accompanied by the character getting more {{Stripperiffic}}, since Ahsoka's first outfit was already ''very'' questionable, the model-change came with a more reserved yet form-fitting dress as her default outfit.
* FatalFlaw: Her overconfidence and drive to prove herself worthy of being Anakin's Padawan learner get her into situations well beyond her ability to handle a lot of time. She's also somewhat quick to make judgements, and she has the upmost trust towards Anakin, the Jedi Order, and the Republic itself, things that backfire ''very hard'' on her during the Fugitive arc.
* FingerlessGloves: She wears them with both of her standard outfits.
* FormFittingWardrobe: Her second outfit looks very form-fitting. This makes one wonder how can she fit her head (which is quite a bit larger than a human's own due to her horns and head-tails) through the tight-looking neckpart of her shirt.
* FragileSpeedster: She's quick and agile, but initially she lacks in endurance.
* FriendToAllChildren: She is shown to be quite good with children through the way she takes care of Rotta (Jabba the Hutt’s infant son), rescues the force-sensitive infants from Mustafar, and repeatedly puts her life in risk to protect the younglings under her care.
* GenerationXerox: To Anakin; she has an attitude similar to his and lost her lightsaber once.
* GenkiGirl: She is especially this in the PilotMovie and first two and a half seasons. Precocious little thing!
* GirlyBruiser: She is very much this trope.
* GoGoEnslavement: During the Zygerrian Slavers arc, she is disguised as a slave girl and given a rather questionable BedlahBabe outfit that was even more revealing than her first one.
* GoodCounterpart:
** To Asajj Ventress. Both of them are former Jedi who left the order, both of them were the apprentices of a Sith who used to be a Jedi, both of them use two lightsabers in combat, both of them ended up getting betrayed by their respective masters, both of them fought their former masters’s next apprentices after them (Ventress fought Savage Opress after he betrayed both her and Dooku, while Ahsoka fought the inquisitors) who wielded red double-bladed lightsabers, both of them are still affiliated to their respective side of the force even after leaving the service of their respective organizations (Ahsoka is still on the light side even after leaving the Jedi Order while Ventress still uses the dark side even after the Sith betrayed her), both of them ended up joining the enemies of their former masters (the Nightsisters, the Republic, and the Rebel Alliance), both of them end up training people in the ways of the force to help them defeat their former masters (Ventress trains Opress for a little bit, while Ahsoka also trains Ezra for a little bit) and both of them ultimately fail to defeat their former masters. However, where they contrast is that while Ahsoka ended up leaving the order of her own volition and wants to fight Vader to avenge her friends (and try to bring Vader back to the light side too if she can), Ventress wants vengeance solely for herself and ends up hurting and killing a lot of people to make it happen. Ventress’s motives and methods against Dooku are more selfish and ruthless, while Ahsoka’s motives and methods are more selfless and diplomatic. Also, as said earlier, Ahsoka may not be a Jedi, but she still follows the light side, while Ventress, despite not being Sith, still follows the dark side. Her comment to Ventress when they teamed up many years ago [[{{Foreshadowing}} turned out to be more accurate than either of them thought it would be.]]

** To Gall Trayvis, who was baiting Rebel cells with false intel. Ahsoka's aid is genuinely helpful, though cryptic.
* GreenSkinnedSpaceBabe: More like "Orange-Skinned Space Babe". Ahsoka is a very attractive female Togruta.
* HairDecorations:
** For most of ''The Clone Wars'' she wears a set of akul teeth as a headdress, which is a cultural trophy from Shili. After leaving the Jedi Order, she replaces it with a metallic headpiece.
** In ''Rebels'', she now has a tiara helm.
* HasAType: Given her romantic interests are Lux, Nix, and Kaeden, it seems Ahsoka has a thing for humans.
* HelpingWouldBeKillStealing: She takes this role during the Onderon arc. With her assistance, the rebellion would have gone much more smoothly, but it would defeat the purpose of internal rebellion to have obvious outsider aid in the form of the Jedi.
* HeroicBSOD: Upon making a mental link with Darth Vader, she screams in horror before passing out.
* HeroOfAnotherStory: Her role in the first two seasons of ''Rebels'' is basically meant to compliment the story of the ''Ghost'' crew, [[DefiedTrope as opposed to]] [[SpotlightStealingSquad overtaking it]].
* HiddenDepths: Ahsoka's brief sojourn to the Dark Side in "Altar of Mortis" implies that she is holding back quite a bit of frustration with Anakin's teaching methods as well as her perception that he doesn't entirely trust or believe in her.
* HonoraryAunt: While she's not in the ''Ghost'' crew's primary circle, she and Ezra share a strong bond.
* HonoraryTrueCompanion: Despite the fact that she left them, the Jedi, clone troopers, and Anakin especially still consider her one of them to the point Anakin gave her half his army and her lightsabers on Mandalore to fight Maul. Ezra and Kanan still keep her memory and [[spoiler: find a loophole in the universe to save her by the end of season four.]]
* HonorBeforeReason: In [[Recap/StarWarsTheCloneWarsS4E14AFriendInNeed "A Friend in Need"]], Ahsoka must have been perfectly aware that even if she did have her lightsabers, she would have had a rough time surviving a fight alone against the Death Watch.

The event apparently shook her enough that she when she built a pair of new lightsabers during the events of ''Ahsoka'', they had white blades to symbolize her lack of affiliation with the Order.
* DesignatedVictim: She has a tendency of getting into ''real'' trouble very frequently. So far, she's been captured/kidnapped on six occasions, and the Fugitive arc has her accused of multiple homicides and terrorism/sedition.
* {{Deuteragonist}}: She is one
* DarkerAndEdgier: ''The Clone Wars''
* TheDeadHaveNames: In "Lethal Trackdown", when Aurra Sing and Boba Fett send Mace Windu a holographic transmission threatening to execute hostages if Mace does not come face them, they demand one
* DisneyDeath: The Son temporarily kills her after [[YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness she outlives her usefulness]]. Anakin and the Daughter bring her back by transferring the latter’s remaining life force to Ahsoka.
* DoNotCallMePaul: Inverted. When she makes her first full appearance to the crew of the ''Ghost'', she insists on being called by her real

* DudeMagnet: Besides a complicated romance with Lux, Ahsoka's attractiveness has been noted several times. Unfortunately, most of them were from slimey men.
* EffortlessAmazonianLift: In "Sabotage", after Anakin gets knocked out while piloting his starfighter and Artoo has to make a crash-landing on a too-short cliff, Ahsoka leaps over to his fighter, hoists him from it,
* EmbarrassingNickname: The Mortis Arc reveals that Ahsoka hates it when Anakin calls her "Snips".

-->'''Ahsoka:''' ''[[spoiler:[[LoopholeAbuse I am no Jedi.]]]]''
* FacialMarkings: This is the cool part
* FakingTheDead: She and Rex did this after the Siege of Mandalore by creating a fake grave for him, and she left her original pair of lightsabers on it to sell the deception.
* FanservicePack: While she was already attractive from the beginning in ''The Clone Wars'', Ahsoka, being a teenager, understandably developed a more voluptuous yet athletic body after the MidSeasonUpgrade. Notably, while this trope is often accompanied by the character getting more {{Stripperiffic}}, since Ahsoka's first outfit was already ''very'' questionable, the model-change came with a more reserved yet form-fitting dress as her default outfit.
* FatalFlaw: Her overconfidence and drive to prove herself worthy of being Anakin's Padawan learner get her into situations well beyond her ability to handle a lot of time. She's also somewhat quick to make judgements, and she has the upmost trust towards Anakin, the Jedi Order, and the Republic itself, things that backfire ''very hard'' on her during the Fugitive arc.
* FingerlessGloves: She wears them with both of her standard outfits.
* FormFittingWardrobe: Her second outfit looks very form-fitting. This makes one wonder how can she fit her head (which is quite a bit larger than a human's own due to her horns and head-tails) through the tight-looking neckpart of her shirt.
* FragileSpeedster: She's quick and agile, but initially she lacks in endurance.
* FriendToAllChildren: She is shown to be quite good with children through the way she takes care of Rotta (Jabba the Hutt’s infant son), rescues the force-sensitive infants from Mustafar, and repeatedly puts her life in risk to protect the younglings under her care.
* GenerationXerox: To Anakin; she has an attitude similar to his and lost her lightsaber once.
* GenkiGirl: She is especially this in the PilotMovie and first two and a half seasons. Precocious little thing!
* GirlyBruiser: She is very much this trope.
* GoGoEnslavement: During the Zygerrian Slavers arc, she is disguised as a slave girl and given a rather questionable BedlahBabe outfit that was even more revealing than her first one.
* GoodCounterpart:
** To Asajj Ventress. Both of them are former Jedi who left the order, both of them were the apprentices of a Sith who used to be a Jedi, both of them use two lightsabers in combat, both of them ended up getting betrayed by their respective masters, both of them fought their former masters’s next apprentices after them (Ventress fought

One-shot characters also often get a DyingMomentOfAwesome to make-up for the audiences lack of familiarity with

** For most of ''The Clone Wars'' she wears a set of akul teeth as a headdress, which is a cultural trophy from Shili. After leaving the Jedi Order, she replaces it with a metallic headpiece.

* HiddenDepths: Ahsoka's brief sojourn to the Dark Side in "Altar of Mortis" implies that she is holding back quite a bit of frustration with Anakin's teaching methods as well as her perception that he doesn't entirely trust or believe in her.
* HonoraryAunt: While she's not in the ''Ghost'' crew's primary circle, she and Ezra share a strong bond.
* HonoraryTrueCompanion: Despite the fact that she left them, the Jedi, clone troopers, and Anakin especially still consider her one of them to the point Anakin gave her half his army and her lightsabers on Mandalore to fight Maul. Ezra and Kanan still keep her memory and [[spoiler: find a loophole in the universe to save her
** In "Revenge", Darth Maul slaughters a village on Raydonia that’s full of innocent people, including [[WouldHurtAChild young children]], to get the Jedi's attention. [[FamilyUnfriendlyDeath For once]], ''The Clone Wars'' plays it safe and keeps the slaughter largely off screen.
* DecapitationPresentation: The Talz plant their spears in the ground [[WeaponTombstone to mark where they have defeated their enemies]], placing decapitated battle droid heads or the helmets of killed clone troopers on the ends of the spears.
* {{Deconstruction}}: The Clovis arc shows that [[SecretRelationship since it's dependent on secrecy and deception]], Anakin and Padmé's marriage really isn't all that healthy and cracks are beginning to form in their relationship. It also foreshadows Anakin's jealousy and possessiveness, which will prove disastrous in ''Film/RevengeOfTheSith''.
* DeliberateInjuryGambit: In "Shadow Warrior", [[spoiler:General Tarpals]] allows General Grievous to run him through with a spear in order to get close enough to disable Grievous in turn.
* DependingOnTheWriter: In "Hostage Crisis" (written by Eoghan Mahony), Anakin makes a large speech about how Padmé is the single most important thing in his life whereas, she seems preoccupied by the duties and responsibilities of her office and their obligations to the Republic. However,

** Several Jedi have shown remarkable determination. Bolla Ropal and Even Piell in particular resist severe ElectricTorture, but refuse to co-operate with

** Darth Maul combines this with the PowerOfHate to simply ''stay alive'' after Obi-Wan cut him in half way back in ''Film/ThePhantomMenace''.

*
* DieHardOnAnX: Anakin channels [[Film/DieHard John McClane]] when Cad Bane takes some hostages in the Senate Office Building. However, because of a complicated setback, he finds himself without his lightsaber. This limits his [[AggressiveNegotiations normal strategy]] and leads to an interesting situation that forces him to fight an assassin droid barehanded.
* DisasterDemocracy: In "Nomad Droids", after C-3PO and R2-D2 accidentally kill the leader of a group of {{Lilliputians}}, they want to put the droids in charge and C-3PO holds an impromptu election. The three candidates proceed to beat each other up afterwards while the droids leave the system.
* DispenseWithThePleasantries: When Count Dooku calls Osi Sobeck, he tells him to "dispense with the proprietaries".
* DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything:
** According to the official site, Chairman Chi Cho's behavior, accent, and dialogue were supposed to bring to mind apartheid-era South African dictators. The battle itself is similar to the Battle of Isandlwana in the Zulu Wars. In Isandlwana, you have a clear tech advantage in the hands of the British that is wasted due to an arrogant commander stretching his forces too thinly for their superior firepower to overcome the enemies' superior numbers and arguably superior tactics, which is exactly what happens.
** The New Mandalorians, who are a race of tall, mostly blond, blue-eyed humans with long, angular facial features desperately trying to distance themselves from their ancestors' reputation as [[UsefulNotes/NaziGermany brutal conquerors]]. Opposing them are the Death Watch, who want to return to traditional Mandalorian ways and whose über-Aryan-looking leader wears his [[http://images1.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20100130031116/starwars/images/3/3c/Kenobi_vs_Vizsla.jpg hair]] in a slight variation of the stereotypical Wehrmacht cut.
** The Onderon arc bears several similarities to the Soviet-Afghan War. Both involve a larger power (the Separtists/the Soviet Union) sending its military to support a local puppet government (King Sanjay Rash/the Democratic Republic of Afghanistan). A
** "Sabotage" features the Jedi Order being protested for their involvement in an increasingly unpopular war. Any number of real-world war protests could apply.
* TheDogBitesBack: In "Witches of the Mist", [[spoiler:Savage Opress predictably betrays Asajj Ventress, who treated him worse than Count Dooku did to either of them.]]
* DontMakeMeDestroyYou: In "Lair of Grievous", Nahdar Vebb uses the line verbatim when facing General Grievous. However, instead of indicating that Nahdar wishes not to hurt Grievous, [[DeconstructedTrope it demonstrates Nahdar's arrogance and presumption that he is in control of the situation]].
* DoomedByCanon: All of the films and other canonical works that are chronologically set after ''The Clone Wars'' have pretty much guaranteed that most of the main cast and supporting cast along with the antagonists will either survive anything that comes their way or die/be PutOnABus, which also leads to the ''Star Wars'' characters featured in ''The Clone Wars'' being unable to do anything that contradicts the films that take place afterwards. Some particular examples include:
** General Grievous and Anakin are unable to meet face to face due to ''Revenge of the Sith'' being their first actual meeting; any so-called "decisive blow against the Republic/Separatists" being doomed to failure, and all of Padmé's attempts at a diplomatic solution being sabotaged or ineffective.
** During the Order 66 arc, [[spoiler:Fives cannot successfully reveal the truth about the clone troopers' origins or the true intention of the control chips that the Kaminoans implanted into each clone's brain.]]
* DoomyDoomsOfDoom: Not just ''any'' droid factory, but a droid factory... of DOOM! And Cargo... of Doom!
* DoubleSpeak: [[AvertedTrope Averted.]] A bill being considered by the Senate to take certain measures that would invade people's privacy is called [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin the "Enhanced Privacy Invasion Bill"]].
* DoubleStandard: The fact that [[spoiler:she was expelled from the Order and sentenced to be executed without allowing her to prove her innocence over the bombing of the Jedi Temple hangar while Barriss Offee, who was the orchestrator of this terrible event and had framed her, was let off with pretty much a slap on the wrist are among the things that prompt Ahsoka to tell the Jedi Order to stuff it when they offer to let her rejoin the Order in "The Wrong Jedi".]]
* DoubleStandardAbuseFemaleOnMale: [[AvertedTrope Averted]]. The Nightsisters' cruel abuse of the Nightbrothers, to the point of brainwashing and forcing one to ''murder his own brother'' so they can use him as a pawn in a scheme to kill Dooku, is ''not'' portrayed as OK. Savage turns on Ventress rapidly for her abuse and tries to Force-choke her.
* DownerEnding: Oh boy. Where do we even begin:
** The conclusion of the Shadow Collective arc throws one giant gut punch. [[spoiler:All of Satine's work to keep Mandalore peaceful goes down the drain as it becomes engulfed in a civil war and is killed by Maul, Bo-Katan is left to free the planet from Maul's forces, and Sidious defeats Savage and Maul, killing the former and leaving the other to a fate worse than death.]]
** The Fugitive arc then slams down with a massive curveball: [[spoiler:Barriss Offee is revealed to be responsible for the bombing of the Jedi Temple hangar as well as the one who framed Ahsoka for the crime, which results in her arrest after being defeated in a lightsaber duel with Anakin.
** The conclusion of the Order 66 arc. [[spoiler:Tup dies and Fives dies as well, having found out about the conspiracy against the Jedi, but being unable to convince anyone about the truth. Meanwhile, Darth Sidious and Count Dooku celebrate their victory.]]
* TheDragon: There is
** This is, of course, not even mentioning that Dooku is the Dragon to the ''true'' BigBad, Darth Sidious, aka Chancellor Palpatine.
* DramaticIrony: This is one of the signature staples of ''The Clone Wars''. The tension between audience knowledge and what the audience ''hopes'' (or fears) will happen leads to some exquisite television. It is impossible to ignore the fact that Anakin will turn into Darth Vader and end up killing all of the people he helps and the clone troopers will be brainwashed and eventually turn into (and eventually be replaced by) the stormtroopers of the Empire.
-->'''Captain Rex:''' If we fail, then our children and their children could be forced to live under an evil I can't well imagine.
* DrillSergeantNasty:
** In "Clone Cadets", the clone cadets of Domino Squad are under the charge of Master Chief Petty Officer Bric, a
** [[AvertedTrope Averted]] with his Arcona counterpart El-Les, who is rather caring for a drill instructor.

* DualWielding:
** Kit Fisto picks it up on the fly via using his lightsaber and Nahdar Vebb's own in
** Asajj Ventress tends to use two red lightsabers as her main weapons.
** General Grievous goes farther by ''double'' dual wielding. He has four arms and is capable of using a lightsaber in each one.
** Ahsoka Tano gets in on the action in the middle of the third season, carrying two lightsabers and wielding either one or both of them in a ReverseGrip.
** General Krell dual wields ''[[UpToEleven double-bladed lightsabers]]''.
** Obi-Wan tends to perform the feat whenever he is with another Jedi who is disarmed or killed, which results in him using their lightsaber along with his own. In "Grievous Intrigue", he picks up the electrostaff of a destroyed [=MagnaGuard=] and briefly wields it and his lightsaber against General Grievous. In "Hunt for Ziro", he briefly uses Quinlan Vos' lightsaber in addition to his own in order to fight Cad Bane.
** [[spoiler:Darth Sidious]] joins the list in "The

* DwindlingParty: The Domino Squad. In "Rookies" (their first appearance airdate-wise), Droidbait is among the first to be killed by the invading Separatist droids, Cutup gets eaten alive by a Rishi eel, and [[spoiler:Hevy is forced to pull a HeroicSacrifice when the bomb's remote has a malfunction. When the survivors return to Kamino, they lose 99 (who is an "honorary" member of their squad) just before they're made ARC troopers. Then comes the Citadel arc, which leaves Fives as the SoleSurvivor of the squad. The Order 66 arc kills him off as well.]]
* DyingMomentOfAwesome:
-->'''Battle Droid:''' Do we take prisoners?\\
'''[[spoiler:Hevy:]]''' [[StuffBlowingUp I... don't.]]
* DynamicEntry: In "Liberty on Ryloth", a commando droid enters a fight by ''throwing'' a destroyed B-1 battle droid at the clone troopers.
* TheEasyWayOrTheHardWay: In "Lethal Trackdown", Plo Koon offers Aurra Sing the options "we can do this the difficult way or the simple way, the choice is yours" when he confronts her looking for the hostages she has taken. She inevitably chooses the difficult way and he quickly demonstrates that it is not difficult for ''him''.
* ElCidPloy: In "Shadow Warrior", Jar Jar Binks needs to dress as Boss Lyonie when the Gungan leader is in a coma after being brainwashed into leading the Gungans into war against the rest of Naboo.
* ElectricJellyfish: The Hydroid Medusa introduced in "Water War". [[JustifiedTrope Justified]] since they're half-machine.
* EliteMooks: The coldly effective commando droids, who display a level of competence and ruthlessness far above and beyond that of the battle droids. Their commander actually uses a freaking ''sword''. There are also a few others like the super battle droids, droidekas, and T-series tactical droids.
* EmergencyImpersonation: In "Bombad Jedi", Jar Jar puts on a Jedi robe he found and is quickly mistaken for being a Jedi.
* EnemyMine:
** In "Revenge", Obi-Wan and Ventress team up against Maul and Savage, [[spoiler:and later Obi-Wan teams up with the Death Watch member Bo-Katan, who had gone against Maul's take-over of the Death Watch and Mandalore. Bo-Katan [[LampshadeHanging lampshades]] this when she does an earlier EnemyMine with Satine in "The Lawless".]]
--->'''[[spoiler:Bo-Katan Kryze:]]''' The enemy of my enemy is my friend.
** In "A Necessary Bond", Ahsoka and a group of Jedi younglings team up with Hondo and his pirates in order to fight General Grievous and escape Florrum.
* EnemyRisingBehind: In "Tipping Points", a damaged droid gunship is still active enough to level its blaster at Ahsoka while she is distracted.
* EnhanceButton: This is used in "The Academy", where Ahsoka is able to use her handheld computer to enhance a hologram of a voiceless, cloaked figure, adding his face when it was never recorded in the first place. No amount of factors given by the hologram could have reliably allowed her computer to do such a thing.
* EstablishingCharacterMoment:
** In "Hostage Crisis", Cad Bane and his team effortlessly infiltrate the Senate Office Building and take numerous Galactic Senators hostage. When he declares them to be his prisoners, one of the Senators states that he won't tolerate this "insolence" and walks past him, trying to leave. Bane promptly shoots him InTheBack, without turning to look.
** Aurra Sing also has one in the same episode, which was her first appearance in ''The Clone Wars'' airdate-wise. After Bane kills a bunch of Senate Commandos with a hand grenade, she sees a survivor crawling towards the door, ''begging'' for help. With a cold smile, she shoots him in the head.
** The Zygerrian Slaver Keeper Agruss in "Slaves of the Republic" has one when he [[spoiler:drops a band of slaves down into an inactive volcano, killing them through the sheer drop, ''[[KickTheDog just to make a point]]'' to Obi-Wan of how he intends to break his will.]]
* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: The Son might be the personification of the DarkSide, but he still shrieks in horror and flees [[spoiler:after he accidentally stabs his sister the Daughter with the one weapon which can kill her. When the Father later stabs himself, the Son pleads for him not to die, although he had tried to kill him earlier.]]
* EvenEvilHasStandards:
** In "The Box", Cad Bane saves Rako Hardeen when Moralo Eval tries to kill him. Not because he cares for Hardeen, but because Eval purposefully cheated Hardeen out of victory and then caused the floor to fall out beneath him. Bane felt that Eval should have at least given him a fair fight.
** The pirate Hondo Ohnaka hates Sith Lords and Separatists (mainly because they cannot be bargained with like reasonable people) and also claims he does not like taking children into battle.
* EverythingsBetterWithPrincesses: Duchess Satine is an important character in two story arcs and makes brief appearances in several individual episodes.
* EverythingsDeaderWithZombies: "Legacy of Terror" features Geonosian warrior zombies. "Massacre" features the Nightsister zombies.
* EvilChancellor:
** Chancellor Sheev Palpatine is most certainly the poster boy for this trope as a result of being both the Supreme Chancellor of the Republic and secretly TheManBehindTheMan for the Separatists (in his Darth Sidious persona).
** There is also [[spoiler:Almec, the prime minister of Mandalore]].
* EvilDetectingDog: WordOfGod says that the Zillo Beast knew Palpatine was evil and set out to hunt him down when it escaped the lab, though its unclear whether or not he was serious.
* EvilIsHammy:
** General Grievous is quite the ham. His lines are all exaggerated, not to mention his tendency of destroying subordinate battle droids when things go wrong.
** Separatist general Lok Durd, played by Creator/GeorgeTakei.
--->'''Lok Durd:''' Let's get these shield generators in place! When Count Dooku sees how successful my weapon is against civilian targets, I will no doubt be promoted to a more substantial position within the alliance!\\
'''Battle Droid:''' ...Riiight...
** Doctor Nuvo Vindi, who is voiced by Michael York. He is pretty much a [[CardCarryingVillain card-carrying]] [[Film/HammerHorror Hammer]] villain, complete with dramatic under lighting, a thick German accent, and exclusive use of his own personal HitlerCam.
--->'''Jar Jar:''' Yousa not creatin' life! Yousa ''takin' '' life!\\
'''Dr. Vindi:''' Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yes yeah yeah yeah ''yes!''
** There's a good reason why [[spoiler:Creator/AshleyEckstein said she had a lot of fun voicing Ahsoka while she is corrupted by the Dark Side in "Altar of Mortis".]]
** Darth Maul qualifies as being hammy, especially in his monologue to Obi-Wan in "Revenge". Creator/SamWitwer practically [[ChewingTheScenery tears apart the scenery around him.]]
*** This is also true for Witwer's earlier antagonistic role as the Son, who dips into a bit of his Emperor Palpatine voice at times.
* EvilLaugh: Once [[spoiler:General Krell admits that he is a traitor, he laughs deeply in ''every following conversation''.]]
* EvilSoundsDeep: Savage Opress gets a deeper voice after the Nightsisters take control of him with their magick in "Monster". Being voiced by Creator/ClancyBrown helps too.
* EvilVersusEvil:
** The Nightsisters and Brothers arc is a villain-focused story arc that presents some instances of fights between the Nightsisters and Separatists. The factions remain at odds throughout ''The Clone Wars'' until [[spoiler:the Separatists exterminate the Nightsisters]].
** The Shadow Collective arc presents numerous odds of [[spoiler:Sith/Death Watch vs. criminals, Sith and Death Watch vs. each other, Death Watch vs. Death Watch, and ultimately Sith vs. Sith. Obi-Wan eventually gets involved in "The Lawless", but he ultimately cannot do anything to solve the situation.]]
* ExactlyWhatIAimedAt: During her duel with Pre Vizsla in "A Friend in Need", Ahsoka slashes his jetpack. He commends her on the close call, only for her to explain that she didn't miss. He quickly realizes that his jetpack is about to explode and ditches it.
* ExtranormalPrison: The Citadel was a prison built by the Republic to contain Jedi who have lost their way and other Force-using criminals. The Separatists found that it is perfectly capable of holding good Jedi.
* FaceHeelTurn: [[spoiler:Senate Commando Captain Argyus, Clone Sergeant Slick, Pong Krell, and Barriss Offee (during the Fugitive arc).]]
* FacelessGoons: [[AvertedTrope Averted]]. Although their bodies and voices are identical, many clone troopers are portrayed with a surprising amount of individuality. A great deal sport varying tattoos and haircuts when seen without their armor. Some episodes will deal with the differences in certain clones' personalities, occasionally as a main plot point. For example, while most clone troopers are depicted as totally believing in the cause of the war, others do not like it but simply go along with it. Others still have become extremely disillusioned with the war and develop a level of pacifism that borders on desertion or treason, which actually happens in at least two episodes.
* FacePalm: In "Ambush", an OOM-series Battle Droid does one in response to the stupidity of one of its subordinates.
* FadeOut: "The Wrong Jedi" and "Sacrifice" both end with the screen slowly fading into black. These are the only two episodes of ''The Clone Wars'' to end this way, being the finales of seasons 5 and 6.
* FailureIsTheOnlyOption:
** There are several episodes dedicated to capturing Grievous, which never work. Obi-Wan notices and [[LampshadeHanging lampshades]] this trope at the end of "The Deserter", and you can see how much it disgusts him.
** Just about any of Padmé's attempts to stop the war are doomed to fail. This is subtly [[LampshadeHanging lampshades]] in "A Friend in Need", in which her peace talks with the Separatists go downhill within the first five minutes of the episode.
* FakeOutMakeOut: In "A Friend in Need", Ahsoka goes UndercoverAsLovers with Lux to the Death Watch's base. When they're left alone, she starts chewing out Lux for trusting Death Watch. Noticing that Pre Vizsla's headed for the tent, Lux kisses her to shut her up.
* FakeSpecialAttack: Despite his skills in many other fields of combat, Cad Bane apparently has no ability when it comes to wielding a lightsaber. When he picks up a lightsaber during his fight in "Hunt for Ziro", he delivers a confident and mocking laugh, but gets a total of three moves in before Obi-Wan disarms him.
* FakingTheDead: During the Deception arc, the Jedi hire a bounty hunter named Rako Hardeen to shoot [[spoiler:Obi-Wan, who takes a drug to make it look like the shot killed him. Then, they use MagicPlasticSurgery to make him look like Hardeen and have him sent to prison so he can infiltrate a plot to assassinate Chancellor Palpatine.]]
* FamilyUnfriendlyDeath:
** The genetically identical clone troopers are given screen time to establish personalities and likableness, but they are ''still'' killed off in violent ways. Notable examples include two naval officers being sucked into vacuum by having their escape pod cut open in "Rising ''Malevolence''", Sergeant O'Niner's execution by Commando Droids in "Rookies", and Cutup's being ''eaten by a giant eel'' in "Rookies".
** In "Duel of the Droids", Grievous graphically kills [[spoiler:a Transdoshan scavenger named Gha Nachkt]] with the lightsaber blade visibly tearing through his chest.
** In "Lair of Grievous", a clone trooper falls into a pit of lava and dies.
** In "The Gungan General", Pirate Turk Falso gets Force choked by Dooku to death ''onscreen''.
** Cad Bane is the guy who manages to get away with gangland style, on-screen executions in a children's show. In "Hostage Crisis", Cad Bane snaps a Senate Commando's neck.
** In "Cargo of Doom", [[spoiler:a Rodian Jedi Master named Bolla Ropal]] is tortured to death on screen by Cad Bane and the battle droids. When he finally dies, the droid operating the controls announces it in such a disturbing tone of depression in comparison to their usually high-pitched voices, you can't help but shiver.
** In "Landing at Point Rain", they turn it up to eleven with flamethrowers being used on Geonosians by the clone troopers. They burn and scream the whole scene, and some of them got especially lucky with being sliced in vertical halves by the Jedi.
** In "Brain Invaders", when she is being attacked [[BrainwashedAndCrazy by a mind-controlled clone trooper]], Barriss Offee takes out her lightsaber and ''guts him'', with a close-up of the weapon impacting his chest.
** In "The Mandalore Plot", a bomber commits suicide by jumping to his death from a balcony in order to avoid being captured.
** In "Voyage of Temptation", Anakin stabs [[spoiler:Tal Merrik]] with his lightsaber, with the blade going through his back and ''out his front'', center-frame. What makes it worse is the [[{{Foreshadowing}} casual, almost sardonic way he dismisses the murder of an unarmed man...]]
** In "Bounty Hunters", Embo effortlessly breaks a pirate's neck, with the shot being filmed from behind the only thing hiding it.
** In "Monster", Asajj Ventress travels to the far side of Dathomir, where she holds incredibly violent contests to determine which Nightbrother clan representative should receive Sith alchemical augmentation and serve as her spy against Count Dooku.
*** She does this by bringing the candidates to an arena, dimming the area lights and ''systematically murdering all but two of them with a scythe on a chain and their own weapons''.
*** Ventress clearly decapitates at least two while laughing maniacally and when another throws a spear at her, she grabs it in midair only to whip it quite visibly into the chest of another man.
*** Then, after Ventress has selected Savage and brought him back to the Nightsisters to be imbued with their magick, the "coven" tests his loyalty via commanding Savage to kill the only other survivor of the games, a man heavily implied to be Savage's blood brother. [[spoiler:Savage does so, with a NeckLift and [[NeckSnap the customary follow-up]].]]
** During an escape scene in "Counterattack", a clone trooper dies in a rather horrible way: being cut in half by a vent's security doors. Thankfully, the scene is blocked out by a convenient door closing just prior.
** In "Citadel Rescue", [[spoiler:Even Piell gets mauled by an anooba. Though they skipped on showing the wounds he should have had, it is quite clear that it nearly ''tore out his throat''.]]
** In "Prisoners", [[spoiler:Riff Tamson is blown to bits, with his severed head shown on screen. He also uses his explosive knives on multiple Republic fighters and they also scream as they die.]]
** In "Carnage of Krell", not only does [[spoiler:Waxer have tearful last words, but Krell suddenly stops using his lightsabers on the clone troopers and breaks one's back over his knee. At the end, Dogma executes Krell via shooting him in the back with a blaster onscreen.]]
** In "Escape from Kadavo", Keeper Agruss lords over Obi-Wan that as a Jedi it's against their code of honor to kill an unarmed opponent, including one as sadistic and evil as him. [[spoiler:Captain Rex notes that [[LoopholeAbuse clone troopers have no such rule]] and proceeds to throw an electrostaff [[ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice clean through him]], his hoverchair loses control and veers into the nearby console, letting the electrocutions finish off what the impalement started. This probably wouldn't have slipped through the censors if the slaver wasn't such a utterly evil bastard.]]
** In "Bounty", Dengar kills two Kage Warriors by sticking remote explosives on their chests and detonating them; only the camera angle saves the viewers from the LudicrousGibs that could have been. And later, [[spoiler:Krismo Sodi takes out Major Rigosso with an electrified sword through the gut.]]
** In "Revival", [[spoiler:Adi Gallia's tunic is drenched with blood after Savage impaled her on his horns. The scene is so brief and is shot from an angle that it’s very easy to miss.]]
** In "Eminence", Savage Opress [[spoiler:decapitates a room full of Black Sun members when they refuse to side with Darth Maul.]]
** In "Shades of Reason", [[spoiler:Darth Maul decapitates Pre Vizsla in a blatant execution. The camera moves behind Bo-Katan too quickly so her back blocks the execution from being fully viewed.]]
* {{Fanservice}}: Several female characters in ''The Clone Wars'' are very beautiful in addition to having the tendency to wear rather sexy outfits, the most prominent examples are Aayla Secura, Ahsoka Tano, Padmé Amidala, Asajj Ventress, Suu Lawquane, and the Daughter. Well-muscled males also get {{Shirtless Scene}}s, including Captain Rex, Kit Fisto, and Savage Opress.
* FanservicePack:
** While she is attractive from the beginning in ''The Clone Wars'', Ahsoka, being a teenager, understandably develops a more voluptuous yet athletic body after the MidSeasonUpgrade. Notably, while this trope is often accompanied by the character getting more {{Stripperiffic}}, since Ahsoka's first outfit is already ''very'' questionable, her redesign comes with a more reserved wardrobe.
** "The Lawless" reveals that Soniee and Lagos, the female cadets that are introduced in "The Academy",[[http://vignette2.wikia.nocookie.net/starwars/images/1/16/CadetsAllGrownUp-TL.png/revision/latest?cb=20131025195355 were hit by puberty]] rather hard over the MidSeasonUpgrade via developing voluptuous yet athletic bodies and large busts.
* FantasticFlora: There are quite a few planets that seem to have flora a bit on the "weird" side.
** Rugosa is mostly covered by giant coral forests.
** Maridun, with its vast savannah and gigantic trees, is probably the ''least'' abnormal among them.
** Felucia's jungles are filled with luminescent plants.
** Dathomir is filled with creepy, skeletal trees that sprout weird, approximately human-sized, fleshy "fruits".
** Umbara has a surprisingly dense jungle for a world permanently cut off from sunlight. And all of these plants are — once again — glowing. The flora also includes [[ManEatingPlant Man-Eating Plants]].
** Carlac has trees with coral-like CherryBlossoms in the ''middle of winter''.
* FantasticRacism:
** Chairman Chi Cho and his hatred of the "savage" Talz.
** Pong Krell absolutely despises clone troopers, referring to them at one point as "creatures bred in some laboratory".
* FantasticSlurs:
** "Tinnies" and "Clankers" are nicknames for the Separatist droids.
** Clone trooper Boil calls the Twi'leks "Tail Heads" rather disparagingly in "Innocents of Ryloth".
* FantasyConflictCounterpart: The battles presented in ''The Clone Wars'' are depicted as being similar to World War II (an armed conflict encompassing the whole galaxy) and the Cold War (neutral worlds being disputed between two major superpowers).
* FasterThanLightTravel: [[SubspaceOrHyperspace Hyperspace-jumps]] are (ab)used quite egregiously, since they often appear to [[TravelingAtTheSpeedOfPlot take no time at all]]. One specific inversion to this is the ''Malevolence'''s attack against the Kaliida Shoals Medical Station. Due to the size of the ship, it has to take the longer hyperspace route around a nebula, which takes more time compared to Anakin's starfighter squadron navigating through the nebula.
* {{Fauxshadow}}: "The Deserter" gives an almost assured impression that Cut Lawquane will be killed by the episode's end in a sort of HeroicSacrifice[=/=]LastStand. He deserted the Republic clone army on Geonosis and he thinks Rex will view him as a coward for doing so, but he mentions that if it comes down to it he will die to protect his adopted children. When they are later attacked by commando droids, Cut elects to hold them off himself, leaving Rex as the last line of defense between them and his family. He lives to the end and Rex leaves him in peace with his family.
* FemBot: The BD-3000 "Betty Droids", which appear from time to time.
* FinaglesLaw: The opening moral of "Counterattack" is "Everything that can go wrong will."
*
* FlauntingYourFleets: Part of the massive amounts of [[SceneryPorn Scenery and]] [[TechnologyPorn Techno Porn]] in ''The Clone Wars'', there are numerous shots of the various star fleets. The two most massive examples are the Separatist fleet orbiting Serenno in "Massacre" and the Republic fleet protecting the Valor space station in "Point of No Return".
* FlyingSaucer: The signature ships of Hondo Ohnaka and his pirate gang.
* FoeTossingCharge: Almost anyone who fights Savage Opress gets tossed around like a rag doll.
* {{Foil}}: "The Disappeared" pairs up the unusual duo of Mace Windu and Jar Jar Binks. Mace proves to be rather humorless, upfront, and impatient, which contrasts with Jar Jar's friendly demeanor. Notably, the two become FireForgedFriends over the ordeal, as Windu comes to respect that side of him.
* ForceChoke:
** Anakin mainly uses it when his loved ones get endangered. He also prefers to use it as an interrogation technique.
** For Asajj Ventress, it seems like a finishing and/or desperation attack.
** For Savage Opress, it is more-or-less his SignatureMove, although he is fine with the "normal" bare-handed NeckSnap as well.
** After Bo-Katan insults him, Maul starts to strangle her while he gives a speech to Vizsla and the rest of the Death Watch about how beneficial an alliance between them would be. However, after he releases her and left, Bo-Katan and Vizsla smirk at one another in apparent success, so it appeared that they expected him to try such an intimidation tactic.
** In "The Lawless", [[spoiler:Darth Sidious]], upon arriving on Mandalore, offhandedly uses the Force to [[spoiler:choke two Death Watch commandos who try to stop him while walking past them. Later, he strangles another pair before entering a room.]]
** This becomes a plot point during the Fugitive arc, when someone Force-chokes [[spoiler:Letta, the woman who bombed the Jedi Temple hangar, while Ahsoka was the only one in her cell. Since the two were alone and Letta's death was recorded on camera, but the sound was ''conveniently'' down, Ahsoka's frantic arm movements make it look like she was the one killing her.]]
* ForceFieldDoor: They show up sometimes, though not as often as one would expect. Probably the most notable instance of this being used occurrs in "The Citadel", when the entry point the Jedi wanted to use to infiltrate the titular prison has been blocked by a ray shield.
* ForegoneConclusion: None of the protagonists are going to realize that Chancellor Palpatine is playing both sides for suckers until it is too late, and the ''Star Wars'' characters who appear in ''Revenge of the Sith'' and/or the Original Trilogy (along with the other canonical subsequent installments) will also survive in ''The Clone Wars''.
* {{Foreshadowing}}:
** In "Clone Cadets", Shaak Ti comments on how one of the clone troopers, Echo, fails to adapt to the training simulation known as the Citadel. "The Citadel" (which is the first episode of the Citadel arc) opens with the moral "Adaptation is the key to survival" and [[spoiler:Echo dies later during the story arc]].
** Early on during the Umbara arc, Pong Krell berates the clone troopers for not taking their mission seriously, telling them that if they fail, ''everyone'' fails. [[spoiler:That's what he's counting on, since his plan is to sabotage the Republic's invasion.]] More than once, the clones state that Krell's plans only make sense if he's trying to get them killed, [[spoiler:and that's exactly what he's trying to do]].
* ForgotAboutHisPowers: This trope tends to occur quite often in ''The Clone Wars''. The Jedi need to gain hold of something just out of reach and, instead of grabbing it with the Force like they did ''thirty seconds ago'', they will instead try to grab it manually.
** In "Blue Shadow Virus", both Anakin and Obi-Wan make awesomely dramatic leaps to manually catch thrown vials of the incredibly deadly eponymous virus, ''both times'' allowing the bad guy to (temporarily) make his escape.
** In "Children of the Force", Mace Windu literally steps into a painfully obvious trap to get the holocron, despite the fact that he could have just as easily used the Force to grab it and not sprung the trap.
** In "Lightsaber Lost", although Ahsoka lifts, pulls, and pushes numerous opponents throughout the episode, she never considers using the Force in order to grab her lightsaber from her opponent's hands.
* TheFourthWallWillNotProtectYou: When [[spoiler:Ahsoka wakes up after being [[FaceMonsterTurn infected with the Dark Side]] by the Son in "Altar of Mortis",]] she [[SupernaturalGoldEyes stares]] ''directly at you''.
* FrameUp:
** In "Duchess of Mandalore", Satine is framed for murder when the Death Watch assassin hunting her kills an informant that she has a meeting with.
** During the Fugitive arc, [[spoiler:Ahsoka is framed for the bombing of the Jedi Temple hangar and the murder of Letta Turmond, who was used as a proxy to deliver the bomb. Ahsoka is then aided in escaping, but she is made to look like she murdered several clone troopers. On top of that, the real bomber then knocks out Ventress
** In "Orders", Fives finds out about the control chips implanted in every clone and is taken to Palpatine so he can make his case and ask the Chancellor to have the biochips removed. [[spoiler:Palpatine instead privately tells Fives that it was him who ordered the biochips to be implanted, as well as their purpose. Hearing this, Fives attacks the Chancellor and gets framed for being
*
** In "Monster", Ventress has a couple of blink-and-you-miss-it {{Panty Shot}}s while fighting Savage and the other Nightbrother competitors.
** In "Escape from Kadavo", Ahsoka has a very smug grin on her
** Ahsoka also has a very brief PantyShot while dueling Pre Vizsla in "A Friend in Need".
** In "Revival", [[spoiler:Adi Gallia's tunic is drenched with blood after Savage impaled her on his horns. The scene is so brief and
* InsigniaRipoffRitual:
** In "Shades of Reason", [[spoiler:Pre Vizsla getting decapitated by Darth Maul is clearly visible in slow motion or on freeze frames. At normal speed, the camera moves behind Bo-Katan too quickly, so her back blocks the execution from view.]]
** Palpatine's eyes go Sith yellow for a few moments in "The Wrong
* FromNobodyToNightmare: Tarkin is introduced as a mere Republic naval captain, albeit one who remarks that he has become good friends with Chancellor Palpatine. Apart from being somewhat arrogant and uncooperative, he has neither the power nor the goals of the Grand Moff that will later destroy an inhabited planet just to prove a point. As the series progresses, his rank and importance increase — and so does his ruthlessness.
* FrontlineGeneral:
** The Jedi have been given the rank of generals in the Republic army, and they prefer to fight side by side with the clone troopers. [[DiscussedTrope Discussed]] during the Umbara arc; the clones are disgusted by Krell's tactics and risks, but Rex points out that some of Anakin's plans seemed just as risky. This is countered when the other clone troopers point out that Anakin is ''with'' them when they take those risks, instead of waiting at the rear like Krell.
** Despite his general cowardice that will lead to him flee at the moment the situation turns again him, General Grievous is often amongst the very first troops to board an enemy ship and fights on the front lines with his droids.
* FullNameUltimatum: General Krell refers to Rex as [[YouAreNumberSix CT-7567]] most of the time. However, when he is sufficiently impressed by Rex's nerve, he calls him Rex. He also uses Sergeant Appo's nickname, probably because Appo has not ticked him off as much as Rex has yet.
* FugitiveArc: The final story arc in the fifth season of the series has this trope as its title since [[spoiler:it features Ahsoka getting framed for sedition, terrorism, and multiple murders and she has to go into hiding while searching for proof of her innocence.]]
* FutureMeScaresMe: Although time travel is not involved, Ahsoka is clearly scared by the vision of [[spoiler:her older self warning her of the Dark Side]] in "Overlords". The same thing happens to Anakin when he sees what he will do as Darth Vader in "Ghosts of Mortis". He is so terrified that [[spoiler:he cooperates with the Son. He figures that being evil now is far better than the monster he will become. Ultimately, he does not remember at the end of the episode and continues on his path unchanged.]]
* {{Futureshadowing}}:
** In "Destroy ''Malevolence''", General Grievous jumps down behind Obi-Wan and greets him with a "Hello, there." Obi-Wan does the same thing to Grievous in ''Film/RevengeOfTheSith'' in a retroactive IronicEcho. Grievous also commands the Separatist droids to "kill him" and when that fails, he declares that he'll deal with the Jedi himself, almost exactly like in the film.
** In "Jedi Crash", Anakin is briefly incapacitated by an explosion and placed on life support in a Republic cruiser. While he's hooked up to a respirator machine, the sound effect is the same as for [[VaderBreath Darth Vader's iconic breathing]].
** A vulture droid smashes into the bridge of the ''Resolute'' during the initial battle. It seems that the bridges of Anakin's flagships [[Film/ReturnOfTheJedi have a strange tendency to be impacted by crippled fighters]].
** In "Brain Invaders", mind-controlled clone troopers open fire on Ahsoka and Barriss. When they manage to incapacitate [[spoiler:Barriss, one of the clones, Edge, remarks that if there is one thing the clone troopers know, [[Film/RevengeOfTheSith it's how to stop Jedi]].]]
** In "Voyage of Temptation", Satine chews out Obi-Wan for his tendency to speak in half-truths:
--->'''Satine:''' Senators, I presume you're acquainted with the collection of [[MetaphoricallyTrue half-truths]] and [[Film/ANewHope hyperbole]] known as [[Film/ReturnOfTheJedi Obi-Wan Kenobi]]?
** In "Cat and Mouse":
--->'''Obi-Wan Kenobi:''' Anakin, [[Film/ANewHope I've got enough problems without you becoming one of them]].
** During Anakin's and [[spoiler:Ahsoka's lightsaber duel in "Altar of Mortis", Anakin disarms Ahsoka the same way Vader will disarm Luke early on in their duel in ''Film/TheEmpireStrikesBack''.]]
** In "Citadel Rescue", as [[Film/ANewHope Tarkin]] and Anakin shake hands before parting, a short section of "The Imperial March" is used as the background music.
** In "Ghosts of Mortis", [[spoiler:Anakin turns to the Dark Side to stop the Clone Wars, bring [[UtopiaJustifiesTheMeans peace]] to the galaxy, and protect his loved ones, even if he has to kill all the Jedi to do so. This is exactly what happened in ''Revenge of the Sith''.]]
** In "Escape from Kadavo", the death scene of [[spoiler:Zygerrian queen Miraj Scintel is a shout-out to Anakin/Vader's death scene in ''Film/ReturnOfTheJedi''. Miraj even quotes Anakin's FamousLastWords, "You were right."]]
** In "Crisis on Naboo", Anakin and Palpatine enter a dining room where Dooku happens to be waiting for them ala ''Film/TheEmpireStrikesBack'', which ironically has Anakin as Darth Vader doing this to Han, Leia, Chewie, and Lando.
** In "A War on Two Fronts", Anakin finds Steela's marksmanship "[[Film/TheEmpireStrikesBack Impressive. Most impressive.]]"
** Tarkin entering the cell that [[spoiler:Ahsoka]] is held in [[http://cdnvideo.dolimg.com/cdn_assets/5fcd3b7f9d1c67cdadb4a22fe4fa726a4744c5f9.jpg is framed in the same manner]] as Darth Vader entering Princess Leia's cell in ''Film/ANewHope''. Also, Tarkin holds [[http://cdnvideo.dolimg.com/cdn_assets/ceebe7c691e89e30f009645362af6e5a06bebe3b.jpg Ahsoka's chin in much the same way he held Leia's]] in the same film.
** The ending of "The Jedi Who Knew Too Much" is highly reminiscent to the climax of ''Film/TheEmpireStrikesBack'', [[spoiler:with Anakin/Vader trying to convince someone close to him to go with him, and that someone throwing themselves into the deep.]]
** In "Voices", R2 is rather creeped out when Yoda leaves him alone on Dagobah. When Luke headed to the planet in ''Film/TheEmpireStrikesBack'', R2 warned him against going there.
* {{Gasshole}}: In "Downfall of a Droid", how does Gha Nachkt first greet Anakin and Ahsoka? By farting in their faces of course!
* GatlingGood: The Z-6 and Z-7 rotary blasters are of the EnergyWeapon variety.
* GeneralFailure: Pong Krell. He belittles and insults his clone troopers and their clone nature, and orders full-frontal attacks with exhausted soldiers against fortified positions. His own soldiers point out the flaws in his strategies, and think that he might be deliberately trying to get them killed. [[spoiler:As it turns out, he is intentionally sabotaging the Republic's efforts on Umbara so he'll have a good accomplishment to present to Dooku when he defects to the Separatists. Suffice to say, this comes back to bite him.]]
* GenreRoulette: While ''The Clone Wars'' primarily remained true to the SpaceWestern-ScienceFantasy-SpaceOpera-mashup genre within the franchise, it also had more oppurtunity to dip into other genres every week. Just a few examples:
** The large battle-centric episodes and story arcs are often straight-up mini-MilitaryAndWarfareFilms of different sub-genres. For instance, [[Recap/StarWarsTheCloneWarsS2E16CatAndMouse "Cat And Mouse"]] is a World War II SubStory and the Umbara arc is a UsefulNotes/VietnamWar story.
** The Mortis arc, "Nomad Droids", a large portion of the Nightsisters and Brothers arc, and the Yoda arc are pure {{Fantasy}} stories set in space.
** "Senate Spy", "Duchess of Mandalore", "Pursuit Of Peace", "Senate Murders", the Deception arc, the Fugitive arc, and the Order 66 arc are various sub-genres of ConspiracyThriller. In particular, "Senate Murders" is a straight-up MurderMystery, the Fugitive arc is a [[Creator/AlfredHitchcock Hitchcock homage]], and Fives is a 1970s Conspiracy Thriller protagonist as played by [[Film/TheParallaxView Warren Beatty]] or [[Film/ThreeDaysOfTheCondor Robert Redford]]).]]
** "Bounty Hunters" and "Bounty" are [[SpaceWestern Space Westerns]] with the heavy emphasis on "Western" for a change.
** The Zillo Beast two-parter is a [[AttackOfThe50FootWhatever Monster Movie.]]
** "Legacy of Terror", "Brain Invaders", and "Massacre" lean heavily towards being {{Horror}} episodes.
** The Young Jedi arc feels very much like an [[Film/{{ETTheExtraterrestrial}} Eighties]] [[Film/TheGoonies Amblin]] movie.
* GettingCrapPastTheRadar: [[Radar/StarWarsTheCloneWars It has its own page.]]
* GlowingEyesOfDoom: The Son (who is introduced in "Overlords") has them in his [[ShapeshifterDefaultForm default]] and [[{{Animorphism}} gargoyle]] forms. It’s not surprising considering he is the living personification of the DarkSide.
* GonnaNeedMoreX: In "Escape from Kadavo", Anakin confirms that not only are they going to rescue Obi-Wan from a slave facility, but every single slave. Ahsoka states that they are going to need a bigger ship.
* GoodCopBadCop: When Master Luminara and Ahsoka are interrogating Nute Gunray in "Cloak of Darkness", Luminara calmly and systematically questions Gunray and picks apart each denial he makes. Ahsoka, feeling this method takes too long, draws her lightsaber and threatens to gut Gunray right then if he did not talk. [[SubvertedTrope Unfortunately for the interrogation, this had not been planned out and Luminara drags Ahsoka away to sternly remind her that terror is not a weapon that the Jedi use.]]
* GoodIsNotSoft: The Jedi Order. They still classify themselves as peacekeepers, but have taken up arms in the war because that is the best way to ''restore'' the peace. The nature of the trope is [[DiscussedTrope discussed]] by many characters throughout ''The Clone Wars'', as they wonder at what point it changes from Good-Doing-Hard-Things to just plain being bad.
* GoryDiscretionShot: Darth Maul's rampage in "Revenge".
* GoshDangItToHeck: [[AvertedTrope Averted]]. At certain points in ''The Clone Wars'' (first in "Rookies"), characters will say the word "hell" when shocked, surprised or needing to use emphasis. There was backlash after those episodes aired, however, and subsequent airings had the points edited to replace them with "Heck". The original "hell"s were retained on the home video releases.
* {{Gotterdammerung}}: The Mortis arc introduces the Force-wielders, who are manifestations of the Light Side, Dark Side, and Balance of the Force. The Son (TheDarkSide) tries to turn [[TheChosenOne Anakin]] to his side, which both the Daughter and the Father try to prevent, so they start fighting. [[spoiler:Things end with all three of them dead.]]
* GreenSkinnedSpaceBabe:
** A lot of alien females show up with bodies almost identical to humanity, and they tend to be very beautiful and {{Stripperific}}. Ahsoka is the most prominently featured as one of the main characters, but is not very heavily sexualized given her age.
** Ironically, the yellow-green skinned female Mirialan Jedi Master Luminara Unduli is portrayed as classically beautiful rather than sexy. The same goes for her Padawan
* GrievousHarmWithABody: On the rare occasions when
*
** Captain Rex wields two guns. Apparently, he has a bit more of Jango in him than the average clone trooper.
** Chairman Papanoida of Pantora pulls it off briefly in "Sphere of Influence".

** The clone troopers [[AvertedTrope averts]] this most of the time, especially under the command of the more experienced Jedi, as they usually make use of cover and ambush tactics to gain the upper hand. However, standard tactic for close-quarters fighting is apparently "stand out in the open, ignore cover, and shoot at the enemy".
** The Second Battle of Geonosis is determined to be a ground invasion and it focuses on infantry and armor attack. As a result, they use all of their aircraft and spacecraft to land their clone troopers instead of attacking, with only the occasional bombing run.
** During the Umbara arc, this trope gets [[AvertedTrope averted]]. Both sides make good use of cover, there is omnipresent air support on both sides (and light mechanized support for the clones, with some armored appearing for the shadow people occasionally), and both sides demonstrate a decent understanding of tactics. The trope is then {{Deconstructed}} when [[GeneralFailure General Krell]] takes command of the 501[-[[superscript:st]]-] Legion. Not only do his [[AttackAttackAttack tactics]] get a lot of clone troopers killed when it could have been avoided, this causes severe tensions between the Legion and their temporary commanding officer. [[spoiler:Of course, [[TheMole there's another reason this happens that isn't Krell being incompetent...]]]]
** DoubleSubverted during the Nightsisters and Brothers arc. In "Massacre", the Separatist droid army lands in an open area with little cover, indicating that the Nightsisters will engage them directly. Instead, Ventress orders the Nightsisters into elevated sniper positions where they will be safe and provides support for a ground counteroffensive by the more hardy and expendable ArmyOfTheDead and only pressing the attack once the Separatist droids are routed. Ventress engages Grievous personally, knowing that the Separatist droids will be easy prey without him, but does not ambush him when she knows he would do the same to her. [[spoiler:Then, she loses and all of the Nightsisters die when they apparently disappear back to their home, where they abandon all semblance of tactics and stand in the open firing randomly until they're killed. Only at the beginning of the battle does Grievous make use of air support.]]
*** Mother Talzin deserves specific mention during the story arc. Despite clearly being capable of almost single-handedly wiping out the Separatist droid army, she declines to take part in the battle save for a brief involvement at the beginning. While she does attempt to target Count Dooku directly using magick, she does so in an extremely slow and inefficient way during the battle when she could easily have waited until after repelling the invasion.
** Despite heavy use of fighters and bombers on all sides, no one ever opts for orbital bombardment even of military-only targets.
* HolographicDisguise: The Holographic Disguise Matrix introduced in "Crisis on Naboo" was invented by a BountyHunter named Sinrich. Cad Bane, Twazzi, Derrown, and Embo use it to disguise themselves during an attempt to kidnap Chancellor Palpatine.
* HolyHalo: The Daughter is visibly glowing in both her humanoid and griffin form since she's the physical embodiment of the Light Side.
* HopeSpot: "Conspiracy" ends with quite a cruel one. [[spoiler:After finding out the Kaminoans plan to euthanize Tup, Fives enlists AZ's help to prevent that from happening. In the end, they manage to remove the control chip that is causing Tup's illness, Shaak Ti arrives at the lab meaning Nala Se can't attempt any foul play, and Tup wakes up, seemingly starting to recover. Then it turns out the malfunctioning chip in his brain and the surgery to remove it have weakened Tup too badly, and he dies shortly after regaining consciousness.]]
-->'''Fives:''' [[spoiler:No. No! I thought I saved him...]]
* HorribleJudgeOfCharacter: It is eventually revealed that [[spoiler:almost ''every'' named official in Duchess Satine's government is a traitor or corrupt in some way. Pre Viszla, governor of Concordia, is the leader of Death Watch and senator Tal Merrik is in league with him. Prime Minister Almec controls the black market on Mandalore, supplied with smuggled goods and protected by bribes and corrupt security officials. Satine never suspects any of them until they are exposed by other characters.]]
* HorseOfADifferentColor: It pops up a few times:
** In "Tresspass", the Talz use [[PantheraAwesome Narglatchs]] (blue-skinned, sabertooth lion-like creatures) to ride into battle.
** In "Liberty on Ryloth", the Twi'lek freedom fighters use Blurrgs, (which are large, bipedal reptilian creatures) both as beasts of burden and as riding mounts.
** The Zygerrians use Brezak or "gliding lizards" for air-gliding around their city.
** In "Bounty", the Kage warriors of Quarzite use giant centipedes called milodons for traveling and chasing the subtram.
** The Onderon rebels use various beasts: large fambaas to pull carriages and horse-like dalgos as battle mounts. They also
* HostageSituation: Defied by Anakin during the Zygerrian Slavers arc. When they threaten to kill the Togruta colonists if he doesn't surrender, he dismissively states that he's done listening to slavers. It also helps that he brought a Republic fleet for backup.
* HotSkittyOnWailordAction: Ziro the Hutt and Sy Snootles (the long-lipped alien singer in Jabba's palace) were in a relationship with each other. Even if Ziro is slightly small for a Hutt, that just boggles the mind.
* HugeHolographicHead: A team of maintenance droids rule a primitive society by generating a giant hologram.
* HumanShield: During his breakout from Republic captivity, Gunray is held before his rescuer Argyus, who knows that the clone troopers will not want to risk the valuable intel that Gunray can provide. This is true, [[BlastingItOutOfTheirHands so Commander Gree shoots his blaster and then proceeds to fight him hand-to-hand]].
* HumiliationConga: This happens to Darth Maul and Savage Opress in "Revival". Maul and Savage first double-team a lone (albeit DualWielding) Obi-Wan and ''lose'', with Savage losing his arm in the process. The two of them then flee, thinking they're regrouping with the pirates they recruited, only for the pirates to open fire and force them to flee again, this time with Maul getting one of his robotic legs shot off in the process. ''Then'' after they frantically hobble back into their ship and take off, it gets shot down and they're forced to jettison out the escape pod. In other words, their plan fails spectacularly and the next we see of them, they're still drifting around in space and are nearly frozen to death.
* HuntingTheMostDangerousGame: Trandoshans kidnap members of many different species to release on an uninhabited world to hunt. Jedi Knights are too difficult to capture, [[WouldHurtAChild so they often take Padawans]].
* HypocriticalHumor: While still in prison fatigues, Cad Bane says that they need to get new clothes so they don't stand out. Naturally, he goes for the first NiceHat he can find, even though it stands out in a crowd. He's called on this, and indeed Ahsoka is able to spot him from a distance later on precisely because he's wearing the hat.
* IAmTheNoun: In "Lethal Trackdown", Boba Fett says he wants justice (for the death of his father) and Plo Koon simply responds "We [the Jedi] ''are'' justice". Unlike most examples of the trope, he says it with such calm certainty that Boba is affected by the statement.
* IDontPayYouToThink: In "A Sunny Day in the Void", when one of the droids says that he's been thinking, Colonel Gascon tells him that it's his job to think, not the droid's.
** This becomes a running gag, as
*
** In "Lethal Trackdown", Aurra tells Boba to shoot a clone trooper named Ponds. Yes, a clone trooper. Basically his brother. [[spoiler:He doesn't go through with it, so Aurra does.]]
** In "Slaves of the Republic", Queen Miraj Scintel orders Anakin to whip Obi-Wan in order to prove that he really is a slaver.
* IKnowYoureInThereSomewhereFight: In "Brain Invaders", Ahsoka finds herself the only individual not infected with a mind-controlling parasite and spends some time trying to snap people out of it. However, once it becomes clear that she ''cannot'' snap the other person out of it, she does fight to defend herself.
* IllPretendIDidntHearThat: When Rex realizes that his duty requires him to report Cut, a clone deserter, to the authorities, he expresses regret that [[ScrewTheRulesImDoingWhatsRight his memory of the event will be too poor for him to make any kind of report]].
* ImDyingPleaseTakeMyMacGuffin: [[spoiler:In "Citadel Rescue", Master Even Piell does this to Ahsoka in order to make sure the hyperspace route coordinates he's carrying gets to the Republic.]]
* ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice:
** In "Escape from Kadavo", [[spoiler:Keeper Agruss meets his end via being impaled on a shock staff thrown by Rex.]]
** In "The Lawless", [[spoiler:Savage Opress]] gets killed this way with two lightsabers, courtesy of [[spoiler:Darth Sidious]].
* ImperialStormtrooperMarksmanshipAcademy:
** The battle droids. In "Rookies", a clone trooper manages to evade droid fire for a few seconds by ''walking sideways''. Their effectiveness does vary by episode. Starting in "The Hidden Enemy", they have fewer humorous moments and an obscenely large clone trooper body count.
** In "Point of No Return", a bunch of battle droids are walking toward a corridor intersection, with a bunch of Republic droids crossing in front of their field of fire. The battle droids unload their blasters trying to hit the Republic droids, and the ones who are being shot at all make it past the unending stream of blaster fire safely... except for ''one'', who can only take little tiny baby steps. Even with that poor slow-moving bastard, the battle droids miss him like twenty or thirty times before one bolt finally blows his head off.
** The clone troopers also tend to miss their targets a lot, although not as much as the battle droids.
* ImpossiblyCoolWeapon: The lightsabers are naturally this.
** "The Mandalore Plot" manages to up the cool factor by introducing a historic black-bladed lightsaber called the Darksaber.
* InASingleBound: Jedi tend to leap very
* IncrediblyObviousBug: In "Lightsaber Lost", Jedi Master Tera Sinube plants one on Ione Marcy's back; it's large, it beeps, and it's a surprisingly long time before Cassie Cryar spots and destroys it.
* IndyPloy: Many characters tend to go with the flow via coming up with plans along the way. Obi-Wan, Ahsoka, the Clone Troopers, Padmé, Yoda, and Cad Bane have come up with plans, but Anakin has definitely pulled this the most often via instantly improvising a plan in the middle of the situation. This tendency of his is [[LampshadeHanging lampshaded]] by Obi-Wan, Mace and Rex in "The Zillo Beast Strikes Back" as they watch Anakin cut apart the hull of their escape ship, which is in the grasp of the titular Zillo Beast:
-->'''Mace Windu:''' What is Skywalker doing?\\
''[hands macrobinoculars to General Kenobi]''\\
'''Obi-Wan Kenobi:''' It appears to be one of Anakin's improvised plans.\\
'''Mace Windu:''' How can it be a plan if it's improvised?\\
'''Obi-Wan Kenobi:''' Not to worry, just catch them when they fall.\\
'''Captain Rex:''' [[DeadpanSnarker A lot of the General's plans involve falling.]]
* INeverSaidItWasPoison:
** In "The Hidden Enemy", [[spoiler:Slick accidentally reveals that he is the traitor by saying "when the Jedi get back", when only the traitor could have known the Jedi were gone.]]
** During the Fugitive arc, [[spoiler:Letta reveals herself by stating that the bomber is dead when only the person who actually planted the bomb would have known that. Anakin practically name-drops this trope, saying "We never said he was dead."]]
* InkSuitActor: A lot of characters resemble their voice actors, alongside their facial expressions and body language being inspired by actors during recordings, where the production had cameras filming the actors.
** Anakin Skywalker looks very similar to Creator/MattLanter.
** Cham Syndulla and Gobi Glie resembles Creator/RobinAtkinDownes and Creator/CoreyBurton respectively.
** Wilhuff Tarkin looks like Creator/StephenStanton. Stephen took it one step further at Celebration VI by cosplaying as Tarkin himself.
** Satine Kryze looks like Anna Graves, but she's been noted to have a ComicBookFantasyCasting resemblance to Creator/CateBlanchett.
** Chairman Chi Cho resembles Brian George.
** Senator Mina Bonteri resembles Creator/KathSoucie, except with short brown hair with graying streaks and a beauty mark near her mouth, and Lux Bonteri looks like a younger version of Creator/JasonSpisak.
** Prime Minister Almec shares some resemblance to Julian Holloway, but with a beard.
** Korkie and his friends resemble their voice actors.
** The Father, the Son, and the Daughter resemble Lloyd Sherr, Creator/SamWitwer, and Adrienne Wilkinson, respectively.
** Kalifa, Jinx, and O-Mer look like younger versions of Gwendoline Yeo, Sunil Malhotra, and Creator/CamClarke, respectively. Weirdly enough, you can also
** Queen Neeyutnee resembles her voice actress Jameelah [=McMillan=], although we never see her without her headdress and make-up.
** Bo-Katan looks like Creator/KateeSackhoff, except with short red hair. Her hairstyle is similar to Sackhoff's role as
* LovelyAngels: With Padmé whenever they team up
** Saw and Steela Gerrera resembles Andrew Kishino and Dawn-Lyen Gardner respectively (the latter except with dreadlocks and teal eyes).
* {{Interquel}}: ''The Clone Wars'' is set between ''Film/AttackOfTheClones'' and
* InformedAbility: Much talk is made about how General Pong Krell's tactics are very effective, but every command he issues during the Umbara arc leads to defeat that his clone troopers need to reverse by disobeying his orders. The ''opening narration'' describes him as reckless. [[spoiler:It turns out he's deliberately sabotaging the Republic advance prior to his planned defection to the Separatists.]]
* InsectoidAliens:
** The Geonosians. They even have a queen, who is immobile and spends her time laying eggs, living deep inside the catacombs of
** Admiral Trench is a
* InsigniaRipoffRitual: [[DoubleSubversion Double Subverted.]] [[spoiler:Ahsoka gets her Padawan braid taken when she is expelled from the Order in "The Wrong Jedi". They offer it back once she is cleared, but she declines.]]
* InvincibleHero: Yoda is most certainly this. The reason why he rarely gets ADayInTheLimelight is that the writers had problems coming up with something that would challenge him. He directly fought the Separatists only once and eventually had a prominent role during the Yoda arc.
* InvisibleToNormals: A slight variation. Kyber crystals only glow for their intended owner, while others see nothing.
* InvulnerableKnuckles:
** Though no one is ever shown breaking their fist on the metal, whenever a clone trooper punches a battle droid, he reacts in pain and has to shake his hand out afterwards. This occasionally has tragic outcomes, [[DeconstructedTrope as their moments of pain and distraction often lets other Separatist droids shoot them dead.]]
** When Padmé
** In "The Rise of Clovis", Rush Clovis injures his hand when his fist connects with Anakin's cybernetic hand during their brawl.
** Played straight whenever clone troopers fight each other bare-handed, since they're usually wearing armor. Most egregious with Fives during the Order 66 arc, where he spends most of an
* IrisOut: True to ''Star Wars'' form, every episode except for "The Wrong Jedi" and "Sacrifice" ends with the screen turning to solid black starting at the edges and pushing inwards.
* IronicEcho: "Rookies" features this: "Roger, roger."
* ISurrenderSuckers:
** Obi-Wan and Anakin both pull the ploy from time to time.
** Kit Fisto pulls a similar trick on Grievous in "Lair of Grievous", but substitutes an escape for the trope's dictated attack. Grievous' look when his surrender demand is (seemingly) accepted? Priceless.
* ItAmusedMe:
** In "Evil Plans", Cad Bane captures Threepio in order to get information out of him by administering painful electrical shocks. When he learns he has grabbed the wrong droid of the duo, he dispatches his minions to grab Artoo. While he waits for his minions to return with Artoo, he continues to zap the heck out of poor Threepio.
** Once [[spoiler:General Krell admits that he was a traitor in "Carnage of Krell", Captain Rex asks him ''why''.]] "Because I can. Because you fell for it. Because you're ''inferior''."
* ItHasBeenAnHonor:
** The reprogrammed battle droids in "Citadel Rescue" tell R2, who was their designated commander during the mission, that it's been an honor serving under him.
** Clone Commander Gregor tells this to Colonel Gascon after thanking him for reminding him who he was. He also promises, however, that he'll fight his way home.
* ItOnlyWorksOnce: In "Plan of Dissent", Fives, Jessie, and Hardcase are unwilling to risk their lives under Krell's reckless command and plot a mission against a resupply ship which they compare to Anakin's destruction of the droid command ship back in ''The Phantom Menace''. They manage to get up to the ship and fire on its reactor, but the Separatist droids activate a ray shield to block them. [[spoiler:Hardcase has to physically disconnect a damaged cannon, walk it around the shield, then smash it into the reactor to detonate it.]]
* ItsPersonal: In "Kidnapped", Anakin is particularly furious with the slave-trading Zygerrians because of his own childhood status as a slave. The Zygerrians themselves have a
* IWillOnlySlowYouDown:
** The nameless Senate Commando piloting Chancellor Palpatine's escape shuttle in "The Zillo Beast Strikes Back" insists that Palpatine escape riding R2-D2's jets, which cannot carry them both. [[spoiler:He is crushed by the Zillo Beast mere moments later.]]
** [[spoiler:Kalifa to Ahsoka]] after the former is shot through the chest.
* JerkassHasAPoint: When Bric sabotages Domino Squad he is not doing it with
* JetPack:
** It's standard issue for the Mandalorians who are members of Death Watch.
** Used by some clone troopers, where it is apparently specialized equipment.
** Cad Bane has jet ''boots''. He uses them to maneuver while in anti-gravity in addition to regular flight.
* TheJuggernaut: Savage Opress is nearly ''unstoppable''. Not only does he continue to fight multiple enemies, all of who outclass him, in rapid succession, he also shrugs off repeated blaster shots, Force lightning, and being slammed against walls, which would have instantly killed or at least incapacitated most other people. By the time he does retreat, he's half dead from all the abuse he took.
* JustAMachine: Ironically, the Jedi and clone troopers view the battle droids this way despite said droids exhibiting a whole lot more personality and emotion compared to how they are in the Prequel Trilogy's films. Obi-Wan also feels this way about ''Artoo''.
-->'''Obi-Wan Kenobi:''' R2 units are a dime a dozen. I'm sure you'll find a suitable replacement.
* JustAStupidAccent:
** Aayla Secura, as played by Creator/JenniferHale, and the rest of the Twi'leks are French — a nod to the French Resistance.
** The Pantorans are South African — a nod to Apartheid-era dictators.
** The Felucians sound vaguely Japanese — a nod to ''Seven Samurai''.
** Kit Fisto has a slight Jamaican accent. As a result of being voiced by Creator/PhilLaMarr, he sometimes sounds like Hermes Conrad from ''WesternAnimation/{{Futurama}}''.
* JustHitHim: PlayedWith during Darts D'nar's fight with Obi-Wan in "Kidnapped". Darts throws Obi-Wan across the room a number of times when it probably would've been more effective to just start beating the hell out of him right where they are. But at other times during the fight, Darts ''does'' beat on him, and choke him, and [[WrestlerInAllOfUs pick him up only to slam him onto the floor]]. As much as he wants to win, he also wants revenge. Obi-Wan made a good outlet for those frustrations.
* JustInTime:
** In "Dooku Captured", Ahsoka
** In "Blue Shadow Virus", a clone deactivates the bomb with what appears to be a few fractions of a second before detonation and [[DeadpanSnarker then comments]] "plenty of time to spare".
** In "R2 Come Home", Anakin and Mace Windu, injured and pinned in the wreckage of a downed starship, are extracted with only seconds to spare before the wreckage collapses.
** In a CallBack to the PilotMovie, "The Wrong Jedi" sees [[spoiler:Anakin arriving to the trial with the proof of Ahsoka's innocence in the last moment, before the verdict is announced.]]
* {{Kaiju}}: The Zillo Beast is pretty much the ''Star Wars'' counterpart to Franchise/{{Godzilla}}.
* KangarooCourt:
** Pong Krell [[InvokedTrope invokes]] this in "Plan of Dissent", [[spoiler:stating that Jesse and Fives will be court-martialed, found guilty, and ''executed''. He then tops it moments later by deciding that this will take too long, and orders Rex to ''execute them without trial''.]]
** ''Two'' within "The Wrong Jedi":
*** [[spoiler:The Jedi Council brings the verdict of Ahsoka being guilty of the crimes she has been accused of ''in advance'', without even giving her an audience first. When they do give her an audience, they constantly interrupt and further confuse her with cross-questions. They were themselves being pressured by the Senate. Anakin even lampshaded it when he says: "You've already made your decision, haven't you!? This meeting is just a formality!"]]
*** [[spoiler:The military tribunal is just as bad. Tarkin, the prosecutor, presents indirect evidence and presumptions he made based on them as if they're unshakable proofs. When Padmé brings attention to the lapse of logic in them, he simply steers the conversation away to another question, that was ''completely'' irrelevant to the point that had been discussed until then! Palpatine, the presiding judge, gets to make an argument ''against'' the defense before the jury has rendered a verdict.]]
* KeystoneArmy: During the Onderon arc, the rebels take out the city's primary power generator, knocking out every substation in turn. With no power, the droids have no way to recharge, making their defeat an eventuality. This only applies locally, though; there's nothing keeping Dooku from sending reinforcements, which is exactly what he does.
* KickTheDog:
** In "Shadow of ''Malevolence''", Grievous decides to attack medical frigates as a prelude to attacking the whole medical outpost.
** In "Monster", Asajj Ventress's final initiation for a newly-brainwashed [[NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast Savage Opress]] was having him kill his brother.
** In "The Lawless", [[spoiler:Darth Maul takes over Mandalore and uses pacifist Duchess Satine to lure Obi-Wan Kenobi to Mandalore as part of his Roaring Rampage of Revenge. When Obi-Wan and Satine are both captured, Maul kills Satine in front of Kenobi just so he can watch Obi-Wan feel the pain that he felt in the years after his defeat.]]
* KidAppealCharacter:
** Ahsoka is this at the beginning of ''The Clone Wars'', but she grows out of this role as the series progresses (although she is very popular with older audiences).
** The younglings introduced during the Young Jedi arc.
* KidHero:
** Ahsoka, who is an adolescent female Togruta and a skilled Padawan learner.
** The younglings introduced during the Young Jedi arc also get their shot at being heroes.
* KilledMidSentence:
** [[spoiler:General Krell]] says "Eventually you'll have to do the right thing and–" only to be [[spoiler:shot mid-sentence]].
** Many, many hapless battle droids. One example of many:
--->'''Battle Droid 1:''' What is that?\\
'''Battle Droid 2:''' It looks like an explosive.\\
'''Battle Droid 1:''' How can you tel– ''[explosion]''
*** Moments later in the same episode:
---->'''Battle Droid:''' Surrender rebel! You will answer for your crimes agains– ''[explosion]''
* KillItWithFire: A group of Geonosians in the Second Battle of Geonosis gets burned by flamethrowers.
* KillItWithIce: Geonosian brain-worms, although it is just cold in general, not necessarily ice.
* KissOfDeath: [[https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=P-mqn4s61no&index=15&list=PLQpFu3pK6TSHe4OtZtZAKkYf2BFcIU3Y- This scene of Ventress killing an ARC trooper named Commander Colt]] that’s featured in "ARC Troopers". Cartoon Network insisted that it should be cut before the episode's airing, although it's on the DVD.
* KnightKnaveAndSquire: Obi-Wan is the Knight, Anakin is the Knave, and Ahsoka is the Squire.
* TheLancer:
** Anakin usually fulfills this role to Obi-Wan when they are on a mission together.
** Ahsoka and Rex share the role for Anakin.
* LargeHam:
** Colonel Gascon (who is introduced during the D-Squad arc), which is helped by his Napoleonic ego.
** The SpacePirate Hondo Ohnaka takes hammyness to glorious new levels.
* LaserGuidedAmnesia: In "Ghosts of Mortis", [[spoiler:the Father erases Anakin's memories of his future, which includes the knowledge of his FaceHeelTurn and transformation into the Sith Lord Darth Vader, to keep him from siding with the Son.]]
* LavaAddsAwesome: A significant amount of episodes and scenes took place on volcanic worlds, but most the time the lava is there only for the "awesome special effect bonus".
* UsefulNotes/TheLawsAndCustomsOfWar: ''The Clone Wars'' presents the first explicit mention of a codified set of laws governing the rules of warfare within the ''Star Wars'' canon: the Convention of Civilized Systems, named in "Trespass". The exact nature and details of these laws, however, have yet to be revealed.
* LeaveHimToMe: Pre Vizsla does this twice, once with Obi-Wan and again with Ahsoka. He eventually has to call for backup with Obi-Wan, and Ahsoka abandons the fight after taking out his jetpack.
* {{Leitmotif}}: Practically all important and semi-important characters have their own theme tune that somewhat reflects either their personality or the role they play: Ahsoka's is bright and confident, Ventress' is sinister, Savage's is ominous, etc. Even the clone troopers and the rest of the Galactic Republic in general receive a theme that is worthy of any war movie!
* LetsFightLikeGentlemen:
** In "The Mandalore Plot", Pre Vizsla, leader of the Mandalorian Death Watch, returns Obi-Wan's lightsaber to him so that they may properly duel in a fair manner. [[spoiler:[[SubvertedTrope He has his henchmen attack Obi-Wan once he starts to lose.]]]]
*** [[spoiler:In "Shades of Reason", he returns Darth Maul's lightsaber to him when Maul challenges him to a duel.]]
** Obi-Wan provokes an enemy into fighting him hand-to-hand in "Kidnapped" as a stalling tactic.
** In "The Rise of Clovis", Rush Clovis challenges Anakin to "try fighting like a man without your Jedi tricks". Anakin is more than happy to oblige.
* {{Lilliputians}}:
** "Nomad Droids" features a bunch of aliens so tiny that C-3PO accidentally kills their tyrannic leader by simply toppling R2 over on him.
** Colonel Gascon is also quite small, which is a constant source of frustration for him due to [[IJustWantToBeBadass his dreams of becoming a front-line war hero]].
* LimitedWardrobe: Everyone except for Padmé initially mostly wears the same clothes in the first two-and-a-half seasons due to the expense and effort it would take to render separate models. It is a little strange when Obi-Wan is ''constantly'' wearing his battle armor even while in the Jedi Council Chamber and Ahsoka and Barriss Offee sleep in their beds without blankets and still in their normal clothes, complete with boots for Ahsoka and a long robe for Barriss. They all have new outfits as of "Heroes on Both Sides" and receive small variations in later seasons, such as winter parkas and scuba gear.
* LoveTriangle:
* LowerDeckEpisode: Some episodes feature almost nothing but clone troopers, although a Jedi or two tends to make a [[MandatoryLine token appearance]].
* LuckBasedSearchTechnique: Apparently, a species trait of Gungans is "AmusingAlien who stumbles into exactly what the competent characters are looking for". This happens several times in "Blue Shadow Virus".
* LudicrousGibs: This happens when Artoo accidentally kills the leader of some {{Lilliputians}} on a world he and C-3PO are visiting. R2 spends the rest of "Nomad Droids" with alien blood spattered all over him.
* MacGuffin:
** The Nexus Route coordinates carried by Master Even Piell and Captain Tarkin from the Citadel, which is marking a hyperspace-lane that connects Coruscant with Separatist space. Getting them is of immense interest of both sides, but they will not be put into use until ''Film/RevengeOfTheSith''.
** The "cargo" Boba's crew and Ventress are entrusted with protecting in "Bounty". [[spoiler:It turns out to be a DamselInDistress, Pluma Sodi, sister of Kage leader Krismo, who was to be married to the Belugan dictator, Otua Blank.]]
** During the Young Jedi arc, the lightsaber crystals have very little actual purpose after the younglings find them in "The Gathering", but Hondo wanting to get them kicks off a chain of events long enough for three more episodes.
** The encyrption module, getting which was Colonel Gascon and the droids' mission during the D-Squad arc.

However, the Sith appear to be more on the "magic" side, while the Jedi seem to be purposefully limiting their more direct applications of the Force.

* MeaningfulBackgroundEvent: In "Defenders of Peace", when Ahsoka, Captain Rex, and Commander Bly are running flat-out after a probe droid and frantically wondering where it went in the tall grass, Aayla Secura can be seen slowly walking behind them looking around. Immediately afterwards, when the probe has out-floated its pursuers, Aayla simply steps out from in front of it and cuts it in half, having previously seen where it was heading and cutting it off.

* PlatonicLifePartners: A master/student variant with Ahsoka. They form a deep, sibling-like bond throughout ''The Clone Wars'', with Ahsoka acting as one of Anakin's {{Morality Chain}}s and her having a great admiration for him.
* PluckyGirl: Ahsoka has been beaten, tortured, hunted, nearly killed several times, and watched several friends and allies suffer and die over the course of the Clone Wars. Yet, despite all of this, she never complains or gives up. Sadly, being betrayed and framed for sedition and murder by a close friend, abandoned by the Jedi Council, and almost sentenced to death by the Republic Court in "The Wrong Jedi" manages to [[BreakTheCutie break]] her.
* PoorCommunicationKills: What leads her to becoming Fulcrum is realizing that the reason so many of her friends died on Raada was because of her unwillingness to share information. She also muses that the Jedi may have been saved if Bariss had had a better way to voice her concerns about the state of the Republic, and if the Jedi had listened. At the end of her solo book, she decides that she will personally ensure no more people die because of a lack of information and trust.
* PowerNullifier: She was able to deactivate the Seventh Sister's lightsaber with the Force.
* ProperTightsWithASkirt: This is the only thing that saves the DangerouslyShortSkirt she wears with both of her regular outfits.
* PutOnABus: She's largely absent from the first half of ''Rebels'' Season 2 due to her search for answers regarding Darth Vader.
* {{Reconstruction}}: Of being a Force user. The logical conclusion to a Jedi being conflicted tends to end up with them falling to the DarkSide. Ahsoka is a reconstruction of being a Force user; while she's no longer a Jedi, she's firmly on the Light Side of the Force, and operates on her own code. In the end, she's ultimately an ally to the ''Ghost'' crew and the Rebellion.
* RedOniBlueOni: She is the red to Barriss's blue. She even has the skin color to match.
* RememberTheNewGuy: ''The Clone Wars'' develops her up as an important figure in the Jedi Order and a very close friend of Anakin in addition to being probably the third most important person in his life after his mentor/best friend Obi-Wan and his wife Padmé, but she's not mentioned ''once'' in any of the theatrical films since she was created three years after the Prequel Trilogy concluded with ''Film/RevengeOfTheSith'' (which ''[[WesternAnimation/StarWarsTheCloneWars The Clone Wars]]'' is set before). It's justified in ''Film/ThePhantomMenace'' and ''Film/AttackOfTheClones'' as she hadn't met Anakin yet during those theatrical films; it could also be justified in ''Revenge of the Sith'' that she wouldn't be mentioned because her departure is a sore spot for Anakin and he has other things on his mind.
* RescueRomance: In "A Friend in Need", she saves Lux from being executed on Count Dooku's orders.
* RetiredBadass: Averted, as she's been active in the Rebellion almost since the start of the Empire. Maul refers to her as a "Part-timer" at one point.
* TheReveal: "Fulcrum" is unveiled as Ahsoka Tano in "Fire Across the Galaxy."
* ReverseGrip: Her fighting style.
* RubberForeheadAliens: She is a Togruta.
* {{Samurai}}: According to Dave Filoni, this was his primary influence in overseeing her ''Rebels'' redesign.
* ScrewThisImOuttaHere: In "The Wrong Jedi", she declines to rejoin the Jedi Order in light of her faith in the Jedi Council being shaken by her trial.
* SecretSecretKeeper: "The Wrong Jedi" implies that she knows about Anakin and Padmé being together. This was [[WordOfGod confirmed by Filoni]] in an interview, although he did not specify how much she knows.
* SexyBacklessOutfit: Her second outfit combines this with a more-modest-than-usual CleavageWindow.
* ShesGotLegs: She tends to wear outfits that highlight her very nice legs.
* ShipperOnDeck: Implied. The ''Forces of Destiny'' episode "Unexpected Company" has her stating that she likes Padmé, smiles warmly when the former and Anakin share a warm embrace, tells Padmé in her own way that she [[SecretSecretKeeper knows]] about them by saying they make a good team, and then decides to stay on the ship to give the couple some [[LeaveTheTwoLovebirdsAlone alone time.]]
* ShockwaveClap: [[FreezeFrameBonus It's hard to notice]], but in her fight against the Seventh Sister, Ahsoka didn't actually use the standard Force-push to finish off the fight, rather she just clapped her hands together.
* {{Shorttank}}: Ahsoka is a snippy, back-sassing, little spitfire with clothes sort of befitting her rebellious attitude, but [[CharacterDevelopment she tones down a bit]] by the time of season three.
* ShoutOut: Her place in the ''Rebels'' story bears a distinct resemblance to [[Literature/TheLordOfTheRings Gandalf]], as an older mentor figure with her own plotline and personal connections to the BigBad, [[spoiler:supposedly dying holding off an enemy]], and [[spoiler:and is brought back to aid the heroes. Her last outfit is as blatant as it gets, a white hooded cloak with a staff similar to Gandalf the White.]]
* SigilSpam: Fulcrum's logo is seen on the cargo that Hera and Sabine pick up in ''Out of Darkness''. It resembles Ahsoka's forehead markings, and serves as the first big hint at Fulcrum's identity.
* StableTimeLoop: [[spoiler:How she survives the battle with Vader, combined with TimeTravelEscape. She pushes Ezra to safety while seemingly sacrificing herself. Two years in the future, an older Ezra (who has now accessed the World Between Worlds), guided by Morai, manages to rescue her just as Vader is about to kill her and the temple is collapsing. However, after escaping Palpatine, she decides to return back to her time stream, albeit shortly after the temple collapses, hence the shot of her walking into the temple at the end of "Twilight of the Apprentice."]]
* StatuesqueStunner:
** Ahsoka in ''Rebels'' stands at 1.88 meters tall (6'2), towering over most of the men in the series. This is in contrast to her earlier depiction in ''The Clone Wars'' of usually being the shortest of the group due to her youth.
** This height takes her lekku (head-tails), which project beyond her skull, into account. This is why in ''Rebels'' she is still shown to be shorter than Rex, who is officially 6'. Removing this additional height would still place her around 5'10 - 5'11, which is quite statuesque.
* SuperSenses:
** Since Togruta horns work as passive echolocators, she has very sharp hearing, which she uses to find the kidnapped infants in "Children of the Force" and to eavesdrop on a conversation regarding Aurra Sing in a noisy bar in "Lethal Trackdown."
** She also possesses extremely fine spatial awareness, which she uses when she saves Anakin from a bunch of Separatist droids by bringing down a wall on them [[ByWallThatIsHoley while he was standing right under a hole in it]] in the PilotMovie.
* SuperStrength: Due to amplifying her physical attributes with the Force, she's strong enough to knock out armored clone troopers with single punches and send them sprawling with her blows, despite obviously lacking anywhere near the strength or mass to do that otherwise (she has little muscle on her and weighs less than 120 pounds).
* SurvivorGuilt: She feels this in ''Ahsoka'' in the aftermath of Order 66, and again in ''Rebels'' when learning of Anakin's fate. Comes with being the LastOfHerKind.
* PlatonicLifePartners: A master/student variant with Ahsoka. They form a deep, sibling-like bond throughout ''The Clone Wars'', with Ahsoka acting as one of Anakin's {{Morality Chain}}s and her having a great admiration for him.
* PluckyGirl: Ahsoka has been beaten, tortured, hunted, nearly killed several times, and watched several friends and allies suffer and die over the course of the Clone Wars. Yet, despite all of this, she never complains or gives up. Sadly, being betrayed and framed for sedition and murder by a close friend, abandoned by the Jedi Council, and almost sentenced to death by the Republic Court in "The Wrong Jedi" manages to [[BreakTheCutie break]] her.
* PoorCommunicationKills: What leads her to becoming Fulcrum is realizing that the reason so many of her friends died on Raada was because of her unwillingness to share information. She also muses that the Jedi may have been saved if Bariss had had a better way to voice her concerns about the state of the Republic, and if the Jedi had listened. At the end of her solo book, she decides that she will personally ensure no more people die because of a lack of information and trust.
* PowerNullifier: She was able to deactivate the Seventh Sister's lightsaber with the Force.
* ProperTightsWithASkirt: This is the only thing that saves the DangerouslyShortSkirt she wears with both of her regular outfits.
* PutOnABus: She's largely absent from the first half of ''Rebels'' Season 2 due to her search for answers regarding Darth Vader.
* {{Reconstruction}}: Of being a Force user. The logical conclusion to a Jedi being conflicted tends to end up with them falling to the DarkSide. Ahsoka is a reconstruction of being a Force user; while she's no longer a Jedi, she's firmly on the Light Side of the Force, and operates on her own code. In the end, she's ultimately an ally to the ''Ghost'' crew and the Rebellion.
* RedOniBlueOni: She is the red to Barriss's blue. She even has the skin color to match.
* RememberTheNewGuy: ''The Clone Wars'' develops her up as an important figure in the Jedi Order and a very close friend of Anakin in addition to being probably the third most important person in his life after his mentor/best friend Obi-Wan and his wife Padmé, but she's not mentioned ''once'' in any of the theatrical films since she was created three years after the Prequel Trilogy concluded with ''Film/RevengeOfTheSith'' (which ''[[WesternAnimation/StarWarsTheCloneWars The Clone Wars]]'' is set before). It's justified in ''Film/ThePhantomMenace'' and ''Film/AttackOfTheClones'' as she hadn't met Anakin yet during those theatrical films; it could also be justified in ''Revenge of the Sith'' that she wouldn't be mentioned because her departure is a sore spot for Anakin and he has other things on his mind.
* RescueRomance: In "A Friend in Need", she saves Lux from being executed on Count Dooku's orders.
* RetiredBadass: Averted, as she's been active in the Rebellion almost since the start of the Empire. Maul refers to her as a "Part-timer" at one point.
* TheReveal: "Fulcrum" is unveiled as Ahsoka Tano in "Fire Across the Galaxy."
* ReverseGrip: Her fighting style.
* RubberForeheadAliens: She is a Togruta.
* {{Samurai}}: According to Dave Filoni, this was his primary influence in overseeing her ''Rebels'' redesign.
* ScrewThisImOuttaHere: In "The Wrong Jedi", she declines to rejoin the Jedi Order in light of her faith in the Jedi Council being shaken by her trial.
* SecretSecretKeeper: "The Wrong Jedi" implies that she knows about Anakin and Padmé being together. This was [[WordOfGod confirmed by Filoni]] in an interview, although he did not specify how much she knows.
* SexyBacklessOutfit: Her second outfit combines this with a more-modest-than-usual CleavageWindow.
* ShesGotLegs: She tends to wear outfits that highlight her very nice legs.
* ShipperOnDeck: Implied. The ''Forces of Destiny'' episode "Unexpected Company" has her stating that she likes Padmé, smiles warmly when the former and Anakin share a warm embrace, tells Padmé in her own way that she [[SecretSecretKeeper knows]] about them by saying they make a good team, and then decides to stay on the ship to give the couple some [[LeaveTheTwoLovebirdsAlone alone time.]]
* ShockwaveClap: [[FreezeFrameBonus It's hard to notice]], but in her fight against the Seventh Sister, Ahsoka didn't actually use the standard Force-push to finish off the fight, rather she just clapped her hands together.
* {{Shorttank}}: Ahsoka is a snippy, back-sassing, little spitfire with clothes sort of befitting her rebellious attitude, but [[CharacterDevelopment she tones down a bit]] by the time of season three.
* ShoutOut: Her place in the ''Rebels'' story bears a distinct resemblance to [[Literature/TheLordOfTheRings Gandalf]], as an older mentor figure with her own plotline and personal connections to the BigBad, [[spoiler:supposedly dying holding off an enemy]], and [[spoiler:and is brought back to aid the heroes. Her last outfit is as blatant as it gets, a white hooded cloak with a staff similar to Gandalf the White.]]
* SigilSpam: Fulcrum's logo is seen on the cargo that Hera and Sabine pick up in ''Out of Darkness''. It resembles Ahsoka's forehead markings, and serves as the first big hint at Fulcrum's identity.
* StableTimeLoop: [[spoiler:How she survives the battle with Vader, combined with TimeTravelEscape. She pushes Ezra to safety while seemingly sacrificing herself. Two years in the future, an older Ezra (who has now accessed the World Between Worlds), guided by Morai, manages to rescue her just as Vader is about to kill her and the temple is collapsing. However, after escaping Palpatine, she decides to return back to her time stream, albeit shortly after the temple collapses, hence the shot of her walking into the temple at the end of "Twilight of the Apprentice."]]
* StatuesqueStunner:
** Ahsoka in ''Rebels'' stands at 1.88 meters tall (6'2), towering over most of the men in the series. This is in contrast to her earlier depiction in ''The Clone Wars'' of usually being the shortest of the group due to her youth.
** This height takes her lekku (head-tails), which project beyond her skull, into account. This is why in ''Rebels'' she is still shown to be shorter than Rex, who is officially 6'. Removing this additional height would still place her around 5'10 - 5'11, which is quite statuesque.
* SuperSenses:
** Since Togruta horns work as passive echolocators, she has very sharp hearing, which she uses to find the kidnapped infants in "Children of the Force" and to eavesdrop on a conversation regarding Aurra Sing in a noisy bar in "Lethal Trackdown."
** She also possesses extremely fine spatial awareness, which she uses when she saves Anakin from a bunch of Separatist droids by bringing down a wall on them [[ByWallThatIsHoley while he was standing right under a hole in it]] in the PilotMovie.

* {{Newsreel}}: The PreviouslyOn segment at the start of each episodes take the form of news blurbs that often verge into pro-Republic propaganda.

* {{Ninja}}: The Kage Warriors who battle against the Belugans wear black bodysuits and have great stealth and agility. If that’s not clear enough, Kage is also the Japanese word for shadow, the realm of ninjas.
* NoCelebritiesWereHarmed:
** The character, especially the voice, of Ziro the Hutt was based explicitly on camp gay true-crime author and actor Truman Capote, best known for either his writing of the seminal true-crime expose ''In Cold Blood'' or for his [[LargeHam role]] as
** Several members of the Hutt crime families are based on real and fictional crime bosses. One is based on Marlon Brando's portrayal of Vito Corleone in ''Film/TheGodfather'', another is based on real-life gangster Al Capone.
** The voice of Osi Sobeck (the warden of the Citadel) was based off of Chistopher Walken's. Creator/JamesArnoldTaylor also added a bit of Al Pacino to his voice as well.
* NoFlowInCGI: This is heavily present in the first season as the subsequent seasons saw significant advancement in fabric and hair movements.
** The hair on most of the human characters was initially solid as rock, Obi-Wan's beard being the best example. The Jedi
** Ventress first averts this by always wearing a
* NoHeroToHisValet: General Grievous' doctor constantly berates him for getting damaged in battle, and even calls him out on becoming a cyborg, despite the fact that Grievous is more than capable of turning him into a pile of scrap. [[JustifiedTrope Justified]], since this is the droid who repairs Grievous after a battle.
* NoHoldsBarredBeatdown: Darth Maul and Savage Opress inflict a brutal one to Obi-Wan in "Revenge", as a prelude to the "beyond excruciating" vengeance that Maul has planned for him.
* NoirEpisode: "Senate Murders" presents a WhoDunnit on Coruscant.
* NomDeGuerre: All of the clone troopers qualify for this since so few of them have actual names. Some examples include Rex, Fives, and Waxer.
* NonchalantDodge: This backfires on Anakin in
* NonLethalWarfare: Averted to a ''great'' extent.
* NonMammalMammaries: It is very glaring on the Gungan, Rodian, and Mon Calamari females.
* NonUniformUniform:
** While most clone troopers wear the same basic armor, each battalion has markings of some color (blue for the 501[-[[superscript:st]]-], orange for the 212[-[[superscript:th]]-], etc), and within the battalion, each clone will have his own pattern of colored markings to display individuality. Interestingly, the earlier seasons have more distinctive-looking clone extras than the later ones.
** To a greater degree with Wolffe and especially Rex’s Phase II armor. Despite the rest of the 104[-[[superscript:th]]-] and 501[-[[superscript:st]]-] wearing the standard Phase II helmets, Wolffe has a helmet with a thin visor similar to those used by the 91[-[[superscript:st]]-] Recon Battalion, and Rex has a completely unique helmet design that incorporates a Phase I-style visor into a Phase II helmet.
* NoOneGetsLeftBehind: Domino Squad received an automatic failure on their final test when they abandoned Droidbait after he was more seriously wounded than intended during the simulation. They were told explicitly that they broke the number one rule.
* NoOSHACompliance: [[AvertedTrope Averted]] for the most part, but being
** There are plenty of walkways aboard both Republic and Separatist ships without guardrails, particularly in the reactor and engine rooms.
** The transportation cars on the ''Malevolence''[='s=] tram system have very few rails (and General Grievous doesn't even use them), and the only safety system they have is an automated PA system reminding passengers to "Mind the gap". At the very least, the hangars have fire hoses in case of exploding ships, but unfortunately it seems that no one told the fire-control Seperatist droids that the hoses need more than one person to operate without being thrown around by the high-pressure water blast (then again, the fire-control Separatist droids are [[TooDumbToLive battle droids]]).
** The HardLight bridge to Lessu on Ryloth seems pretty cool (and understandable for security purposes), but can be dangerous for those crossing if there's a power failure with the bridge controls. This is demonstrated in "Liberty on Ryloth", in which a TooDumbToLive battle droid ignores the alert while on the bridge and [[DisneyVillainDeath falls to his
** The docks on Coruscant in "Senate Murders" have large crates that are stored near the edge of platforms without support rails, just above some civilian walkways. When one of these crates got knocked loose, it fell off the platform and almost crushed some civilians to death.
** Averted with the Trandoshan air fortress on Wasskah, as it has plenty of guardrails to be OSHA-compliant. However, [[spoiler:[[RailingKill the rails don't save the Trandoshans from being thrown over by powerful Force-users and Wookiees]].]]
** The [[TempleOfDoom underground temple of Malmourral]] on Bardotta has some narrow stairways and walkways next to the sacrificial slide, but no safety rails around the outside. Cue a few cultists saying hello to the lava below (one of them even stumbles into it).
* NotHelpingYourCase: In "Holocron Heist", Ahsoka is being disciplined for disobeying orders and is reassigned to guard duty at the Jedi Temple. When she exclaims in shock about the transfer and asks for how long, Mace Windu simply responds "longer now" after her outburst.
* NothingIsTheSameAnymore: [[spoiler:Ahsoka leaves the Jedi Order]] in "The Wrong Jedi".
* NotQuiteDead: Despite being [[Film/ThePhantomMenace cut in half by Obi-Wan]], Darth Maul is still alive.
* NotSoAboveItAll: In "Landing at Point Rain", Anakin and Ahsoka hold a BodyCountCompetition during the Second Battle of Geonosis. After the battle, Ahsoka asks for Anakin's total, and it turns out she won. Anakin, however, claims that since he called in the airstrike, it adds enough to his
-->'''Anakin Skywalker:''' My everlasting respect, Master Mundi.
* NotSoDifferent:
** As shown in "Heroes on Both Sides", aside from the military commanders, most of the Separatists are not the greedy bloodthirsty monsters the Republic makes them out to be. In fact, they are being manipulated into believing the Republic are the ones who started and are perpetuating the war and many members of their civilian government sincerely believe that they are fighting for democracy against the oppressive and corrupt Republic.

He is a seemingly feeble old Jedi who shows considerable wisdom, approaches any problem with a calm, methodical approach to great success, disarms a thief who stole Ahsoka's lightsaber using his own lightsaber (which is built into his walking stick), and is one of the foremost experts on Coruscant's criminal underworld.
** On the evil side, there is Count Dooku, who is in his eighties but can still beat the younger Anakin, his own failed apprentice Ventress, and the monstrously powerful Savage Opress.

** In the first two seasons, a character would quip either "I have a bad feeling about this" or "It's a trap!" in nearly every single episode. Sometimes, two different characters dropped one of the two ''each'' within the same episode. The tendency was toned down in the later seasons, but the phrases still popped up from time to time.
** During the D-Squad arc, WAC calls Colonel Gascon "a map-reader" once in each episode.
* OneManArmy:
** The Jedi in general, but Yoda is explicitly described as such in "Ambush", where King Katuunko decrees that Yoda is worth a thousand battle droids.
** An unidentified Death Watch commando during the beginning of the Mandalore arc single-handedly attempts to take an entire [[TheBattlestar Republic cruiser]] out of commission. He does not ''quite'' succeed, but kills himself rather than be captured and interrogated, and it is implied he came within a hair's breadth of completing his mission.

* ThePasswordIsAlwaysSwordfish: In "Senate Spy", Rush Clovis uses "Padmé" as his password to access the plans of the Separatist's new droid factory because he's had a long lasting crush on Padmé Amidala. She successfully guesses it just after a few tries and is visibly unnerved at how creepy it is.

* TeamMom: Besides being a TeamDad, Ahsoka can also show a kind, nurturing side to the younglings she guarded during the Young Jedi arc.
* TemptingFate: She has a tendency early on in ''The Clone Wars'' to say something like "The hard part’s over" when it seems they've won the day. True to formula, things always turn for the worse soon afterwards. Apparently, she has learned her lesson as she stops doing it by the second season.
* TokenNonHuman: The cast of ''The Clone Wars'' as a whole has quite a few aliens, but Ahsoka is the only one in the main group.
* TookALevelInBadass:
** Ahsoka has taken several over the course of ''The Clone Wars''. This is exemplified by how she approaches each fight. In her first encounter with General Grievous, [[LeeroyJenkins she dashes in recklessly]] and Grievous defeated her without even trying. In their second encounter, she was actually able to hold her own and knock Grievous back once, despite still being heavily outmatched by the cyborg general. She also assumes a purely defensive position [[KnowWhenToFoldEm and retreats as soon as she's able to do so.]]

** In terms of combat ability, she goes from frequently being on the receiving end of TheWorfEffect, to the applying end in her first fight on ''Rebels'', when she soundly stomps the Fifth Brother and the Seventh Sister, and holds off [[spoiler:Maul]] rather effectively.

* TookALevelInKindness: Early episodes show her as being a reckless student and a showoff. As the series goes on, these traits are subdued and she better fits the mold of a member of the Jedi Order.
* TraumaCongaLine: The Fugitive arc is just one emotional blow to Ahsoka after another, leading up to her resignation from the Jedi Order.
* TraumaticHaircut: As a Togruta, she doesn't have hair by default, so she can't grow a Padawan braid. Instead, she wears a braid made of beads to symbolize her status as a Jedi-in-training. Cad Bane took it from her as a trophy when he captured her. She didn't appear to be anything but mildly irritated by it, but she did make a point to take it back after his capture.
* UndercoverAsLovers: In "A Friend in Need", Ahsoka needed an excuse for why she was with Lux when he went to make a deal with the Death Watch, and she got involved. She claimed she was his betrothed.
* UnusualEyebrows: A subversion of the "no eyebrows" category. As usual for a Togruta, the only hair on her head is her eyelashes. However, she does have eyebrow-shaped white stripes above her eyes.
* UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom: Ahsoka's departure from the Jedi Order was her own personal decision after the events of the Fugitive arc saw her lose trust in the Jedi Order. Unfortunately, this had serious repercussions for Anakin, as she was major MoralityChain for him; once she left, he started falling more towards the Dark Side and...well...we all know how that ends up.

* WaifFu: She's a very skilled hand-to-hand combatant.
* WellDoneDaughterGirl: She tries to cover it most of the time, but Anakin's acknowledgment means a lot to her, as shown in the PilotMovie and when she rants about not getting any while she is corrupted by the Son in "Altar of Mortis". She finally gets it unadulterated in "The Wrong Jedi".
* TheWorfEffect: She easily curbstomped a pair of Inquisitors that, effectively, curbstomped Kanan and Ezra. [[spoiler:She later gives the HeroKiller Darth Vader one of the toughest duels he's ever had, even cutting his mask and damaging his respirator. She brought him to his knees.]]

** Overlapping with AscendedFanon, the 501[-[[superscript:st]]-] started out as an official fan club for stormtrooper cosplay enthusiasts, who began styling themselves as the elite "Vader's Fist" legion of stormtroopers, before it was canonized in ''Legends'' that the 501[-[[superscript:st]]-] was Darth Vader's personal stormtrooper legion. Rex serves the role as the captain of the 501[-[[superscript:st]]-] Legion of clone troopers, who are assigned to Anakin Skywalker. Notably, ''VideoGame/StarWarsBattlefront2'' had previously indicated that the 501[-[[superscript:st]]-] clone troopers morphed into the 501[-[[superscript:st]]-] stormtroopers during the transition from the Republic to the Empire.

* SciFiWritersHaveNoSenseOfScale:
** Planet-wide (or sector-wide) battles often amount to, at max, a few hundred soldiers on either side fighting over a single city or other small area. However, some episodes imply that what the viewer sees is only part of the bigger picture, with concurrent operations going on off-screen.
*** In "Supply Lines", the Republic is attempting to feed the entire population of Ryloth. They accomplish this with a single food shipment that could, at best, feed a single village for a few days. This works because the entire planet is apparently populated by only a few dozen individuals.
*** In "Liberty on Ryloth", this trope is revealed to actually be {{averted|trope}}. Mace Windu's campaign on Ryloth spans several cities, and is only one part of the whole offensive. At one point he states that "Master Kenobi has already taken the Jixuan Desert, so the southern hemisphere is ours." This indicates that the operations shown onscreen are merely a part of the overall war, and other (presumably less vital) operations are occurring elsewhere.
*** In "Gungan Attack", the Republic has to arrange for reinforcements to retake the planet of Mon Cala from the Separatists. The entirety of the Separatist army in this planet-wide battle appears to be several hundred droids and less than a dozen heavy machines converging on a very

** In "Pursuit of Peace", the Senate debates whether or not to buy five million new clone troopers for the war, which is being fought on numerous planets across an entire galaxy. For reference, the Allies had five million troops on the Western European Front alone in World War II. To be fair, the total number of clone troopers in the Grand Army of the Republic prior to the new Clone Troopers being produced was a paltry three million. Meanwhile, the Separatists buying an additional three million droids was treated as some sort of game-changer. A previous episode had established that the Separatists were already outnumbering the clone troopers a hundred to one, so not only are the Separatists adding a relatively small army to their established numbers, but their whole army is positively tiny for a galactic-scale war.
** In "Plan of Dissent", the Clone Troopers mention that among the obstacles to taking a capitol are missiles with a "100 megaton yield". We later see some strikes with weapons that produce standard explosions, affecting an area no more than a couple hundred feet each. For comparison, not even the biggest, most powerful nuclear weapons ever made had a 100 megaton yield, and

* SoftWater: In "Gungan Attack", the Gungan army jump headfirst into the Mon Calamari ocean from the lower dock of a ''Venator''-class Destroyer that is hovering ''several stories'' high above the water and apparently the worst they get from it is getting water in their meatuses.
* SoldiersAtTheRear: One of the criticisms of General Krell is that his plans are reckless. When one clone points out that so are Skywalker's, another points out that [[FrontlineGeneral Anakin leads from the front]]. Anakin is willing to share the risk, in direct contrast to Krell's WeHaveReserves attitude.
* SomethingOnlyTheyWouldSay: In "Rookies", Cody and Rex are visiting an outpost for an inspection, unaware that it has been taken over by Separatist droids. When a commando droid disguised as a clone trooper ends a radio communication with their trademark "Roger, roger", they realize that something is wrong down there.
* SpaceClouds:
** Inside a nebula, you can literally only see objects a few meters away from your view port.
** Umbara is a planet that is located inside a nebula and permanently stuck in darkness.
* SpaceElevator: The planet Quarzite, introduced in "Bounty", has one since it is impossible to land a spacecraft on the planet due to its high-pressure atmosphere.
* SpaceIsAnOcean: After the ''Malevolence'' gets its primary weapons destroyed, the ongoing fires around the damaged areas are accompanied by plumes of smoke billowing "upwards" as it cruises along. Not to mention the Republic ship that gets damaged and goes "down" later. It is particularly notable because the only planet in sight, and thus the only gravity well, is ''behind'' the ship.
* SpacePirates: The Ohnaka Gang, Hondo's band of primarily Weequay pirates.
* SpaceStation: Quite a few of them shows up.
** In "Shadow of ''Malevolence''", Grievous attempts to destroy a Republic medical base that can treat up to 60,000 clone troopers.
** In "Brain Invaders", Ahsoka and Barriss accompany a transport of supplies to another medical base.
** The plot of "Bounty Hunters" is kicked off by the Republic losing contact with — yet again — a medical-base orbiting Felucia.
** In "Revival", Maul and Savage rob the Cybloc transfer station, a space station owned by the Banking Clan.
** In "Point of No Return", the Separatists attempt to blow up a military station hosting the Republic's strategy conference.
* SpaceWhale: The neebray mantas are essentially this trope.
* SpannerInTheWorks: This is the only thing Jar Jar Binks is useful for.
* SpeaksFluentAnimal: Animals seem willing to do whatever Jar Jar asks of them for some reason.
* SpiritAdvisor: Qui-Gon appears as one to Obi-Wan in "Overlords". Later in the same episode, it looks like Shimi Skywalker has appeared in front of Anakin, [[spoiler:[[SubvertedTrope but it turns out in was just the Son in disguise]]]]. Qui-Gon also appears to Anakin in the next episode as well.
* StandardSciFiArmy: Both the Republic clone army and the Separatist droid army quality for this trope.
** The Republic clone army is divided into infantry units, light combat vehicle drivers (BARC speeders and All Terrain Recon Transports) and heavy vehicles (such as All Terrain Tactical Enforcers). There are also special units, such as Clone Captains, Clone Commanders, ARC troopers, Clone pilots, clone ordnance specialists, and clone SCUBA troopers.
** The Separatist droid army with its massive array of different types of droids is more divided: light infantry consists of B1 Battle Droids, heavy infantry from B2 Super Battle Droids, and the Commando Droids fill in the rank of elite-squads. Then, they have light vehicle-type Spider Droids and Crab Droids, with the [[HoverTank hovering]] AAT tanks as heavy vehicles. Somewhere in-between are the Droidekas, which have the firepower of tank, but size of the Super Battle Droids combined with high speed. This is just scratching the surface.
* StandardSciFiFleet: Once again, both the Republic and the Separatist fleets. They both mainly consist of capital ships, support ships, fighters, and fighter-bombers.
* TheStarscream:
** Turk is this to Hondo in "The Gungan General".
** Despite the general policy of betrayal amongst the Sith, Count Dooku has no active plans to betray Darth Sidious [[MistreatmentInducedBetrayal until Sidious forces him to betray Ventress]] in "Nightsisters". Afterwards, killing Sidious becomes a stated goal.
* StatusQuoIsGod: PlayedWith. As part of being DoomedByCanon, ''The Clone Wars'' cannot present any real progress in the war because the whole ordeal was basically a stalemate until ''Film/RevengeOfTheSith''. There will be setbacks in a battle, peace negotiations that will not succeed, and so on. However, the status quos of many other points in the series are [[WhamEpisode changed significantly]].
* StealthInSpace: In "Cat and Mouse", Anakin is given a special new Republic ship with a stealth shield that renders it invisible from eyes and scanners to fly past a planetary blockade.
* SteppingStonesInTheSky: In "Liberty on Ryloth", when the energy bridge is shut off beneath the feet of Mace Windu during his liberation of Ryloth, he leaps atop the falling pieces of equipment and transports to reach a battle droid's Single Trooper Aerial Platform, which he uses to crash into another droid's STAP before leaping across the side of the chasm.
* StockScream: It’s inevitable, since this is ''Star Wars'' we are talking about. A clone trooper lets out a Wilhelm scream during the Citadel arc, and that's just one of several examples of the Wilhelm scream in ''The Clone Wars''.
* StoryArc: A significant amount of the episodes are part of different story arcs that focus on the efforts of different characters during a particular event in the Clone Wars.
* TheStrategist: Given the portrayals of other Neimodians, Mar Tuuk is surprisingly capable. He is able to anticipate ''most'' of what his opposition will do, and makes an effort to know his enemy by learning all he can about Anakin.
* StrawmanPolitical: The leader of the Lurmen, Tee Watt Kaa, seems to be a straw pacifist. There are a lot of solid arguments to be made against war and violence. These arguments are made stronger by all of the on-screen deaths shown, some of which are pretty horrific. Tee Watt Kaa could have made some of these arguments, but he does not. His position pretty much boils down to "if we put up any kind of fight at all, for any reason, even if we don't kill anyone, we'll be evil" and he does not explain any further than that. Plus, he does not run for cover when he is in danger and he orders his people to similarly stand still and accept their fates, which makes absolutely no sense.
* StuffBlowingUp: It IS ''Star Wars'', after all.
* StupidSacrifice: In "Altar of Mortis", [[spoiler:the Daughter sacrifices herself to save the Father and ends up breaking the balance of the Force. She has the Force and could have easily used that instead. Mind you, she looked ''exhausted'' beforehand...]]
* SuggestedBy: "Bounty Hunters" is based on "Film/SevenSamurai", complete with an on-screen dedication to Akira Kurosawa.
* SuicidalOverconfidence: During the Zygerrian Slavers arc, Queen Miraj Scintel thinks she can control Jedi almost as easily as any other slave, a fact which Dooku is quick to correct her on. [[spoiler:Then she tries to disobey Dooku himself, and things naturally go downhill from there.]]
* SuicidalPacifism: The Lurmen on Maridun, at least those who follow the views espoused by Tee Watt Kaa. His son and many other members of the younger generation disagree, however.
* SuicideAttack: This is used by Demolition Droids on Coruscant in season three in order to avoid the signing of a peace treaty. [[spoiler:And [[TheBadGuyWins it works]].]]
* SummonBiggerFish: "Bombad Jedi" presents this. It may be a native creature, so it is not exactly summoned, but otherwise this trope is played ''completely'' straight. Fish and all.
* SurroundedByIdiots: Many of General Grievous' failures can be at least partially attributed to the hopelessly incompetent battle droids serving under him. One gets the impression he would be a very capable opponent if he could only convince the Trade Federation to build some more intelligent droids.
* SuspiciouslySpecificDenial: In "Plan of Dissent", when their unauthorized experiments with the Umbaran fighters set off alarms in the control room, Fives attempts to cover and dissuade General Krell from investigating. Amidst a general ramble [[CallForward that's a reference to Han Solo's comm call in]] ''Film/ANewHope'', Fives insists that there is nothing out of control in the hangar.
* SwordCane: The elderly Jedi Master Tera Sinube uses his with great effect against Cassie Cryar in "Lightsaber Lost".
* TakeThat: ''The Clone Wars'''s depiction of the Mandalorians — a once-brutal, war-like culture who so devastated their own planet with internecine conflict that, eventually, the downtrodden [[KlingonScientistsGetNoRespect non-warriors]] rose up, exiled their warriors to the moon to die out on their own, and painstakingly rebuilt their planet whilst embracing a philosophy of pacifism — seems almost to have been made to give a great big middle finger to the depiction of [[ProudWarriorRace Mandalorians]] favored by Karen Traviss.
* TakeThatKiss: In "ARC Troopers", [[DarkActionGirl Ventress]] delivers one to an [[EliteMook ARC Trooper named Colt]] after knocking his helmet off just before he expires from her [[ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice running him through the chest with her lightsaber]].
* TakingTheBullet: In "Corruption", Duchess Satine has to bully a customs captain into investigating over his protests that there is no corruption on his dock. However, it initially appears that he is deliberately stalling and covering up, when they stumble upon active smuggling, he instantly leaps in front of Satine to shield her from the blaster fire. [[spoiler:Fortunately, neither of them ''want'' to be shot and they quickly take cover once they realize the situation.]]
* TalkingIsAFreeAction: Combatants on both sides often relay orders or have conversations in the middle of firefights. Especially JustForFun/{{egregious}} when it's a Jedi who was previously busy deflecting laser fire with all their attention.
* TastesLikeFriendship: "Innocents of Ryloth" features Waxer giving a ration bar to a starving Twi'lek girl over Boil's protests. She decides to adopt the both of them and tag along.
* TechnicolorEyes: In an interesting variation, the Father has black eyes but with green irises like his Daughter. This reflects his role as the balancer between both the Light Side and the Dark Side.
* TechnologyPorn: Much like the backgrounds mentioned above, the animators have gone out of their way to put as much detail as possible on spaceships (the best examples might be the ''Venator''-class Star Destroyers, which are indistinguishable from the ones in ''Film/RevengeOfTheSith'') and many episodes included other ways of showing off awesome technology.
* TemptingFate:
** In the first season, Ahsoka has the tendency of saying things like this in practically ''all'' of her appearances.
** "Innocence of Ryloth" features this with an unfortunate battle droid:
--->'''Battle Droid:''' Yup, this is about the worst job in the droid army. \\
''[the battle droids in the hallway are cut down and the droid looks up to see Obi-Wan in the hallway, holding Numa, and he smiles]''\\
'''Battle Droid:''' And it just went into overtime. ''[Obi-Wan uses the Force to push a button on a control panel on the wall, closing the cell door]'' Oh. Oh.
** TX-20 may want to run those figures again...
--->'''TX-20:''' Their chances of success against us are [[IfMyCalculationsAreCorrect 742 to 1.]]\\
'''Wat Tambor:''' You had better be right!\\
'''TX-20:''' I am a droid. [[SmugSnake I am always right.]]
** A clone trooper in a Republic gunship flying through flak during the Second Battle of Geonosis in "Landing at Point Rain": "Good thing those bugs can't aim!"
* TerrifyingRescuer: In "Slaves of the Republic", Obi-Wan scares the crap out of Governor Roshti, whom he is trying to rescue from slave traders, because he is disguised as one of them.
* TheyCallMeMisterTibbs: When Rex finally decides that General Krell is going too far in his treatment of the clone troopers, he affirms that he is to be addressed as "Captain", [[YouAreNumberSix not CT-7567]].
* ThirdPersonPerson: Moralo Eval.
* ThreeSuccessfulGenerations: Ahsoka is the young student who is determined to succeed and become a Jedi, Anakin is the adult who both guides Ahsoka and gets stuff done, and Obi-Wan is the one who oversees and supports both of them.
* ThrownOutTheAirlock:
** In "Downfall of a Droid", R2 throws an assassin droid out of Gha Nachkt's ship when it attempts to stop him from trying to contact Anakin. Unfortunately, he's then caught by an unamused Gha Nachkt.
** In "Cargo of Doom", Cad Bane threatens Anakin with killing Ahsoka by throwing her out the airlock if he doesn't open the Jedi Holockron.
* TimeLapse: In "Voices", Yoda asks the Council to meditate with him in an attempt to find out the origin of the voice talking to him from within the Force. As they immerse themselves, images of the Temple and Coruscant are shown as the sun rises and sets a couple of times and traffic passes with changing speed.
* TokenHeroicOrc: The Citadel arc features a squadron of battle droids that have been captured and reprogrammed by the Republic to serve as infiltrators for covert operations.
* TooDumbToLive:
** The battle droids are essentially this trope as a result of not being very bright.
** In "Trespass", [[spoiler:Chairman Cho]] declares his intentions to exterminate a race that was willing to make peace with him, but had shown themselves to be a tad kill-happy in the past, and does it to their face. He then personally leads an attack against a numerically superior force that is lying in wait on their own territory without any military support of his own. It seems like he is actively attempting to earn the trope.
* TookALevelInBadass: In the first season of ''The Clone Wars'', General Grievous is close to losing nearly every battle and retreated before his ship or outpost was destroyed. This is lampshaded in "Lair of Grievous", where Dooku is unhappy with Grievous' unsuccess in battles and sets out to test him. As a result, "Grievous Intrigue" and later episodes in the subsequent seasons downplay Grievous' ineffectuality via presenting him as a deadly, menacing villain, a [[TheChessmaster Chessmaster]], and a legitimate threat who [[DirtyCoward still runs when he feels that he's on the losing side]].
** He takes another level of badass in "Massacre" through his duel with [[spoiler:Ventress and orchestration of the extermination of the Nightsisters.]]
* TouchOfDeath: The Son has such a strong connection to the DarkSide that he can kill with a single finger.
* TraitorShot: Palpatine at the end of "Duchess of Mandalore", when the evidence that undoes the Separatist plot is revealed.
* TrainEscape: A variation happens in "To Catch a Jedi", when [[spoiler:Ahsoka is recognized by law enforcement while on a train. After being chased through a few cars, she uses the Force to open a door and jumps off the moving train just to run into more police officers.]]
* TrainJob: The plot of "Bounty" revolves around a team of {{Bounty Hunter}}s led by Boba Fett protecting cargo on a subterranean tram from a group of [[GratuitousNinja Kage Warriors]].
* TraintopBattle:
** A short one occurs in "Lightsaber Lost" between Ahsoka and Cassie Cryar, who's gotten a hold of the former's lightsaber. It ends when the bounty hunter uses the weapon to cut a window and enter the car.
** In "Bounty", Ventress duels the Kage warriors on the top of the sub-tram.
* TransformingMecha: The Demolition Droids introduced in "Heroes on Both Sides" can not only disguise themselves as cleaning droids, but [[CombiningMecha combine into bombs]] so they can fulfill their function.
* TrapIsTheOnlyOption: During the Yoda arc, the Jedi discover that the Sith were behind the creation of the Republic clone army. However, given they are now in a full-scale war with the Separatists, they have no choice but to continue using the clone troopers and hope that they can win the war before the Sith can enact their endgame.
* TrojanHorse: The Demolition Droids sent by the Separatists serve this role in "Heroes on Both Sides", posing as sweeper droids.
* TrojanPrisoner: A variation is featured in "Dooku Captured": Anakin is ordered to let himself be captured by Dooku so Obi-Wan and a cruiser can track down the Count's whereabouts.
* TronLines: This is a recurring trait in Umbaran technology.
* TrophyRoom: During the Trandoshan arc, the Trandoshan hunter named Garnac has a very creepy one of these containing all his hunting trophies, including Wookiee hides, mounted Gungan heads, and many other races. Most disturbingly, he spends the episodes hunting Ahsoka with the intention of making her his newest trophy by mounting her [[DecapitationPresentation severed and stuffed head]] on his wall.
* TyrantTakesTheHelm: The Umbara arc begins with Anakin being recalled to Coruscant and General Krell being given command of the 501[-[[superscript:th]]-]. He immediately begins to denigrate the clone troopers, insult their laboratory origin, [[YouAreNumberSix exclusively refer to them by their identification numbers]], [[GeneralFailure and give them horrible tactical orders]]. [[spoiler:It turns out it's all intentional: he is planning to defect to the Separatists and wants to degrade the Republic war effort before he does as a gift to Dooku.]]
* UngratefulBastard:
** Captain Tarkin never misses an opportunity to [[ComplainingAboutRescuesTheyDontLike berate his saviors' rescue plan]], question their competence as military leaders (Anakin actually [[JerkassHasAPoint agreed with him on this]]), and only gives the barest of compliments when rescued from a fiery death.
** Duchess Satine has this in her first two episodes, showing little to no respect for Obi-Wan or the Jedi when Obi-Wan's trying his best to help her.
* UniformityException: All of the Republic’s clone troopers are clones of Jango Fett. A sergeant or lieutenant will often sport a peculiar haircut or tattoo, especially if they speak with Obi-Wan Kenobi or Anakin Skywalker. This is mentioned in supplemental material to be a mechanism for humanizing them; they are meant to be seen as RedShirts and assist the Jedi in preserving law and order.
* UnspokenPlanGuarantee: [Usually [AvertedTrope averted]]. Someone makes a {{plan}}, and the explanation of this plan does not impact whether or not it fails. In "Storm Over Ryloth", for instance, both Anakin and Ahsoka explain their plan in detail to the clones and they work perfectly.
* UnresolvedSexualTension: Obi-Wan and Duchess Satine, complete with SheIsNotMyGirlfriend teasing from Anakin.
* TheUnReveal:
** When Grievous takes some damage and is in need of repairs in "Lair of Grievous", his medical droid begins to remove his cracked and charred mask... and we cut to commercials.
** Anyone who has never seen the any of the movies (more specifically ''Film/RevengeOfTheSith'') or doesn't know about the Canon may feel this way about Darth Sidious. While Chancellor Palpatine is presented in a shady enough light from time to time for the average viewer to know that ''something'' is up with him, no single scene ever flat-out says that he and the Dark Lord are one and the same (though some come incredibly close).
* TheUriahGambit: [[spoiler:General Krell's [[GeneralFailure horrendous battle tactics]] are revealed to be part of his plan to sabotage the Republic advance in preparation for his defection to the Separatists. By giving his clone troopers impossible assignments, they'll be easily defeated and ultimately wiped out by the Separatist forces.]]
* UseYourHead: Captain Ackbar takes out an Aqua droid this way in the climatic final battle on Mon Calamari in "Prisoners".
* VariableTerminalVelocity: Averted in "Landing at Point Rain". Anakin and Ahsoka throw Rex off a ledge to avoid an explosion before jumping down to the ground below and catching him using the Force. In order to reach the ground first, they specifically throw him ''up'' so that they have time to land and brace themselves for the Force.
* {{Vibroweapon}}: BX-series droid commandos often use vibroswords.
* VillainEpisode:
** The Nightsisters and Brothers arc is almost focused exclusively on Asajj Ventress and her vendetta against Dooku, and presents Savage Opress going on a quest to find his long lost brother: [[spoiler:Darth Maul.]]
*** "Massacre" only features the battle between the [[EvilVsEvil Separatists and Nightsisters.]]
** "Eminence" presents the combined efforts of [[spoiler:the Death Watch and Darth Maul against the Black Sun and the Hutt Clan in addition to not featuring any heroes.]]
* VillainessesWantHeroes: Queen Miraj Scintel to Anakin. [[spoiler:Of course, he was attempting to [[InvokedTrope invoke]] this.]]
* VillainExitStageLeft:
** Oh so many with General Grievous. They must have used that same animation of Grievous escaping in his own personal ship a dozen times.
** Darth Maul and Savage Opress pull one in "Revival".
* VillainHasAPoint: While his methods may have not been the best, the motivation for [[spoiler:Slick's betrayal]] in "The Hidden Enemy" does have merit. He argues that the clone troopers are used as nothing more than puppets to the Jedi Order and he merely wanted freedom. Considering how they were created for war and indoctrinated from birth to follow orders without question and are treated as disposable throughout ''Star Wars'', it is hard to say this is not the case.
* VillainousGlutton: Lok Durd, from the looks of him.
* VitriolicBestBuds: Obi-Wan and Anakin are a classic case — and it would seem that Ahsoka is learning well from her master (and his).
* VisualPun: A very ''non''-humourous example occurs during Darth Maul and Savage Opress' escape from Hondo's stronghold in "Revival". During the battle, [[AnArmAndALeg Obi-Wan slices off Savage's left arm with his lightsaber. A short while later, Maul gets part of his leg blasted off.]]
* VoiceOfTheLegion:
** Mother Talzin has a second, [[EvilSoundsDeep much deeper]] hissing voice, which is slightly out of sync. Interestingly, it is not heard during her holographic conversation with Dooku.
** The three Force-wielders introduced in "Overlords" have voices with a permanent echo as well.
** In "Overlords", Anakin gets one temporarily when he [[spoiler:taps into the Force to tame the Son and Daughter]].
* VoluntaryShapeshifting: According to the Father, the Force-wielders "can take many shapes".
* WackyWaysideTribe: Certain filler episodes involve these. [[LampshadeHanging Lampshaded]] in "Mercy Mission".
-->'''Warthog:''' Great, it's going to be another one of ''those'' planets.
* WarFromAnotherWorld: Occurs with somewhat increasing frequency because of Palpatine's machinations forcing many of the neutral planets to side with either the Republic or the Separatists. This is most prominent in "Jedi Crash" and "Defenders of Peace", which feature Anakin, Ahsoka, Aayla, Rex, Bly, and some RedShirt clones crash-landing on Maridun. When the native peaceful Lurmen agree to aid the grievously injured Skywalker, the Separatists arrive not long after to claim the planet as their colony.
* WarIsHell: ''The Clone Wars'' embraces this view through highlighting the brutality of fighting, the harsh conditions it forces civilians into, and the ultimate futility of combat.
* WaveMotionGun: The giant, ship-mounted ion cannon that's on the ''Malevolence'' (General Grievous's first heavy cruiser).
* WeaponTombstone: After making peace with the Talz, Senator Riyo Chuchi of Pantora uses a Talz spear to plant the former Chairman's helmet, crossed with the chief Talz's own weapon, in the ground to seal the deal.
* WeHaveReserves: Oddly, the clone troopers see ''themselves'' as expendable. They believe they are replaceable and if the mission is over, there is no reason for other clones or Jedi to risk their own lives to save them. Lampshaded by [[spoiler:Slick]] in "The Hidden Enemy", who is pretty angry about it and feels that the clone troopers deserve better. One senator takes this attitude towards the clones as well, but Padmé objects to it and tells him that they are people as well.
* WellIntentionedExtremist:
** In "The Hidden Enemy", [[spoiler:Slick [[VillainHasAPoint is correct that the clone troopers have been mistreated and enslaved by the Republic and the Jedi]].]]
** In "The Wrong Jedi", [[spoiler:Barriss Offee reveals herself to be this when she gives her reasons for bombing the Jedi Temple hangar. She believed that the Order had started the war and were fighting for a corrupt Republic and bombed the Jedi Temple hangar to strike a blow at that.]]
* WhamEpisode:
** The Nightsisters and Brothers arc served as one long wham story arc: It features a major change to the status quo via the fact that [[spoiler:Darth Sidious forces Count Dooku to have Ventress killed, but she survives and deserts from the Separatists]], delves into Ventress' past, and introduces the Nightsisters, Mother Talzin, and Savage Opress in addition to setting up a major future event, Darth Maul's return.
** During the Mortis arc, Anakin Skywalker realizes the burden on his shoulders as TheChosenOne, which was something he previously dismissed as a myth. Meanwhile, Ahsoka Tano sees a vision of her future self telling her to stay away from Anakin because he will lead her to the DarkSide. [[spoiler:The Son also corrupts Ahsoka and through her, she reveals her subconscious fears and resentments: her frustration towards Anakin's criticality and dissatisfaction.]]
** The Shadow Collective arc is most certainly this. By the end of "The Lawless", [[spoiler:Pre Vizsla, Duchess Satine, and Savage Opress are all dead, Darth Maul has successfully conquered both the criminal underworld and Mandalore before being left at the mercy of Darth Sidious, and Mandalore is left in the midst of a civil war.]]
** At the end of the Fugitive arc, [[spoiler:Ahsoka feels betrayed by the Council and actually being betrayed by Barriss, which leads to her deciding to leave the Jedi Order.]]
* WhamLine:
** A dying [[spoiler:Waxer]] delivers one in "Carnage of Krell", revealing that [[spoiler:General Krell set two battalions of clone troopers against each other, planning for them to all be killed.]]
** Ahsoka says one in in "The Wrong Jedi":
--->'''Ahsoka:''' [[spoiler:I'm sorry, Master, but I'm not coming back.]]
* WhamShot: [[spoiler:Darth Maul's EarlyBirdCameo in "Witches of the Mist".]]
* WhatIf: In "Destiny", Yoda has a vision of a utopian Jedi Temple, in which Count Dooku is still a respected Jedi Master, Qui-Gon Jinn and [[spoiler:Adi Gallia are alive, Barriss Offee and Ahsoka Tano are still members of the Jedi Order, and everyone seems serene.]]
* WhatMeasureIsANonHuman:
** [[AvertedTrope Averted.]] Obi-Wan wants to protect the rights of the Talz, which are less human-looking and more technologically primitive than the Pantorans who want them eliminated for their land.
** Played straight and averted with the droids. R2-D2 and C-3PO are still afforded a moderate amount of sentience, but Separatist droids are sliced through with no regret.
* WhatsAnXLikeYouDoingInAYLikeThis:
** In "Blue Shadow Virus", Doctor Nuvo Vindi asks Padmé "What's a lifeform like you doing in a swamp like this?" when she gets captured by the Separatist droids protecting his lab. She replies that she was about to ask him the same question.
** In "Bounty", after Ventress enters a cantina on Tatooine and orders a drink, a BountyHunter named Oked tries to hit on her with this question. When he continues pushing her, Ventress stabs him with a lightsaber.
* WhatTheHellHero:
** In "Deception", [[spoiler:Obi-Wan and the Jedi Council fake his death in order for him to go undercover and prevent Palpatine from being kidnapped. Anakin, who was distraught over Obi-Wan's seeming death, eventually learns the truth and is ''furious'' with both Obi-Wan and the Jedi Council for lying to him in "Crisis on Naboo".]]
** In "The Jedi Who Knew Too Much", [[spoiler:Ahsoka snaps at Anakin about seemingly doing nothing to help her after she was arrested, and doesn't think much of his excuse that the guards wouldn't let him see her. As she has just spent the last third of the episode evading capture, she gets more reasonable once given a chance to calm down.]]
** Another one in [[Recap/StarWarsTheCloneWarsS5E20TheWrongJedi "The Wrong Jedi"]], where [[spoiler:Ahsoka leaves the Jedi Order because the Jedi Council threw her under the bus and pretty much made up their minds about her before her trial with them. She never calls them out directly, but she shares it with Anakin, who agrees. Ventress outright calls Anakin on this and he can't really contradict her because she's ''right''.]]
* WhipItGood: The Zygerrian Slavers arc features many laser whips used to keep slaves in line.
* WhoDares:
** When he is being attacked by the 501[-[[superscript:st]]-] Legion in "Carnage of Krell", [[spoiler:General Krell decrees "You ''dare'' to attack a Jedi?!".]]
** Huyang also says it when his head gets blasted off by a Weequay pirate during the Young Jedi arc.
* WhyAmITicking:
** In [[Recap/StarWarsTheCloneWarsS2E1HolocronHeist "Holocron Heist"]], [[spoiler:Todo-360 has no idea Cad Bane's placed a bomb into him until moments before it goes off.]]
** In "Sabotage", an unwitting munitions specialist for the Jedi is fed explosive nano droids in a plot to bomb the Jedi Temple hangar.
* {{Wipe}}: Most of the scene-changes are executed by having the two scenes overlap, much like in the movies. In fact, it's easier to count when it's ''not'' used. IdiosyncraticWipes, such as a clock-effect, are also used a ''lot''.
* WithDueRespect: This is used a few times.
** In "Trespass", the warmongering Chairman Cho of Pantora tries to order Rex and his men to attack the Talz. Rex refuses, stating that his orders are only to personally protect the Chairman.
** In "Gungan Attack", the inexperienced Prince Lee-Char isn’t willing to follow Anakin's advice of leaving the Separatist and Quarren-occupied Mon Calamari because he fears he'll leave his people to die. Anakin warns him with "due respect" that if they stay, all of them are going to die.
** In "To Catch a Jedi", Windu wants to keep Anakin out of the search for Ahsoka, who escaped to the Coruscant underworld after being framed. Anakin refuses his suggestion with "due respect".
* WithMyHandsTied: Ahsoka does this to a round dozen [[spoiler:corrupt Mandalorian Police after being captured in "The Academy" while blocking stun blasts from mounted turrets, even managing to capture their leader in the process, [[DepartmentofRedundancyDepartment all with her hands bound]].]] She also does it in "A Friend in Need".
* WorfHadTheFlu:
** In "Altar of Mortis", the Daughter is visibly exhausted by her battle with the Son, so when he tries to stab the Father, [[spoiler:all she can do is throw herself between them]].
** In "To Catch a Jedi", [[spoiler:Ahsoka has a double dose of this during her lightsaber duel against the Hooded Assailant. For once, everything she has underwent through until that point has left her exhausted and confused (the latter of which even she herself realizes and admits when she has to be reminded to use the emergency brakes in a malfunctioning elevator by a ''child'') and she also previously lost one of her lightsabers while escaping from the GAR HQ.]]
* WorldHealingWave[=/=]WorldWreckingWave: Taken to their logical extreme during the Mortis arc. On Mortis, the healing and wrecking waves are following each other in a constant cycle, as part of the planet's Light and Dark Side in-balance symbolism: when night falls all plants die, and are reduced into ghastly glowing forms, and massive thunderstorms start. When dawn approaches all plant life is renewed.
* WorldOfBadass: The odds are that any named character featured in ''The Clone Wars'' will be of varying degrees of badass or at least will [[TookALevelInBadass take a few levels]] by the end of their episode. It’s either that or they're killed off.
* WorthyOpponent:
** In "Cat and Mouse", Admiral Trench claims that Anakin is this trope.
** In "Storm Over Ryloth", Captain Mar Tuuk openly states that he respects Anakin's military skills and wants to defeat him mainly because of this.
** In "Crisis on Naboo", Dooku says this of Obi-Wan after he successfully thwarted two attempts to kidnap Palpatine.
* WouldHitAGirl: Some examples of this trope include:
** Savage Opress kills [[spoiler:Adi Gallia via impaling her TWICE, once with his horns on his head and the second stab with his lightsaber.]]
** Darth Maul Force-chokes Bo-Katan (but doesn't kill her) to make a point about doubt leading to failure. [[spoiler:He later ruthlessly murders Duchess Satine.]]
** Taken UpToEleven by General Grievous, who has all of zero qualms about committing genocide against the Nightsisters, an all-female clan.
* WouldHurtAChild:
** General Grievous has multiple Padawan braids among his trophies in "Lair of Grievous", and later relishes the idea of killing the Jedi younglings for their lightsabers in "A Necessary
** In "Children of the Force", Darth Sidious has several Force-sensitive infants abducted so that he can perform potentially lethal experiments on them. Cad Bane, who completes the actual abducting, doesn't care what becomes of the children, [[OnlyInItForTheMoney so long as he gets paid]].
** In "The Academy", [[spoiler:Prime Minister Almec threatens to kill Satine's nephew if she doesn't give in to his demands.]]
** During the Trandosha arc, a group of villainous Trandoshans kidnap members of many different species [[HuntingTheMostDangerousGame to hunt on an uninhabited world.]] Since Jedi Knights are too dangerous, they often specifically target Jedi Younglings and Padawans.
** In "Revenge", Darth Maul slaughters dozens of innocent people, including several children, to draw the attention of the Jedi, particularly Obi-Wan.
** Hondo Ohnaka didn't seem to object to the idea of hurting the Younglings in "A Test of Strength" in order to get their lightsaber crystals. He averts this two episodes later when he claims he doesn't like taking children into battle and waves off the earlier incident. He probably just jumps between WouldHurtAChild and WouldntHurtAChild depending on his mood. WordOfGod is that he ''would'' have hurt the kids if necessary, but was hoping to retrieve their crystals with a minimum of fuss.
* WrenchWench: Ahsoka, taking after her master, has become a skilled mechanic. During the [[PhysicalGod Mortis]] [[GodsHandsAreTied arc]], she is shown repairing a badly wrecked shuttle by herself and modifying the repairs at Obi-Wan's request.
* WrestlerInAllOfUs: While fighting Obi-Wan in "Kidnapped", Darts D'Nar at one point hoists Obi-Wan high over his head and then slams him down onto the floor.
* XanatosGambit: Palpatine is both the BigGood Chancellor of the Galactic Republic and secretly the BigBad Dark Lord of the Sith and leader of the Separatist Alliance. He'll be in power no matter which side wins.
** Almost every single story arc is a Xanatos Gambit by Palpatine, in one way or another (though some of them are very subtle). Either way the episode resolves, whether the heroes succeed or fail, the plans of Palpatine are ultimately advanced either way. It is very rare for an episode or story arc to be set up in such a way that it is possible for Palpatine's plans to be thwarted (and sometimes it's usually only a delay).
** Notably, the Order 66 arc. While there is a potential for failure [[spoiler:if the Jedi figure out what the control chips are really for,]] along with if the "defective" clone is caught by the Separatists or delivered to Kamino, Palpatine gets the information he needs to make sure his plans are secure.
* YouAreNumberSix:
** In "Lethal Trackdown", Aurra Sing and Boba Fett send Mace Windu a video threatening to execute hostages if Mace does not come face them. They demand one clone trooper's name [[spoiler:before executing him. He contemptuously replies that he is CT-411. Anakin, watching the video with Mace, [[TheDeadHaveNames sadly comments that he was "Ponds"]].]]
** General Krell makes a deliberate point of referring to every clone trooper by their identification number instead of by the nicknames that they have been given by fellow clones. He does refer to Sergeant Appo by his nickname, and uses Rex's name at one point, so it seems that using the identification numbers is something he only does [[FullNameUltimatum when he is mad at the clone trooper in question]] or [[TyrantTakesTheHelm when he is proving a point]], which is most of the time.
* YouFool: At the conclusion of Umbara arc, [[spoiler:General Krell decrees that Dogma was "the biggest fool of them all"]].
* YouHaveFailedMe:
** Grievous
**
** Count Dooku quotes the complete line when [[spoiler:he disavows Asajj Ventress as his apprentice and orders her death in "Nightsisters". Particularly painful since she hasn't actually failed him, but Darth
--->'''Count Dooku:''' You have failed me for the last time.
* YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness:
** After delivering a captured R2-D2 to the Separatists, [[spoiler:Trandoshan scavenger Gha Nachkt demands a higher fee from General Grievous, who promptly gives him a "bonus" in the form of a lightsaber through his gut.]]
** [[spoiler:Argyus receives "payment" for his help in freeing Nute Gunray, courtesy of Ventress.]]
** [[spoiler:The Son gives Ahsoka a Touch of Death after she delivers to him the only weapon that can kill the Father.]]
** Count Dooku does this to Moralo Eval when his testing course for the bounty hunters is easily outwitted. Fortunately for Eval, he does this by forcing him to fight Rako Hardeen to the death. Since Hardeen is [[spoiler:Obi-Wan]] in disguise, he [[SubvertedTrope spares Eval]]. As such, Eval just gets replaced as team leader by Cad Bane.
* YouKilledMyFather:
** During the Bounty Hunter arc, Boba Fett has a quest for revenge against Mace Windu for killing his father/genetic template Jango back in ''Film/AttackOfTheClones''.
** "Padawan Lost" features a Trandoshan who is determined to avenge the death of his son.
** In "A Friend in Need", Lux Bonteri wants to get back at Count Dooku [[spoiler:after Dooku killed his mother Mina.]]
* YoungAndInCharge:
** Ahsoka is fourteen years old at the beginning of ''The Clone Wars'', but she is automatically ranked as a Commander as result of being a Padawan learner.
** During the Mon Calamari arc, part of the reason the Quarren refuse to accept Prince Lee-Char as the new King of Mon Calamari is his young age.
** Boba Fett is seen several times leading (or trying to lead) groups of bounty hunters that are far older and
--->'''Ventress:''' Boss? ''He'' is your ''boss''?\\
'''Boba:''' You got a
* YouRemindMeOfX:
** At the conclusion of "ARC Troopers", Commander Cody and Captain Rex congratulate Echo and Fives on their performance during the battle. Rex explains that they showed valor and real courage, and then says that they reminded him of himself.
** When Dogma is first introduced in "Darkness on Umbara", Anakin remarks that his determination and reflexive obedience to orders reminds him of Captain Rex. Rex concedes that that might have been true, [[OldSOldier but only back in the day]].
* YourTerroristsAreOurFreedomFighters: [[DiscussedTrope Discussed]] in regards to the Onderon freedom fighters, who Obi-Wan is worried might become terrorists under the wrong circumstances. He joins the mission with Anakin and Ahsoka to hopefully keep them in the "freedom fighter" category.
* YouWouldntShootMe: In "Carnage of Krell", when Captain Rex is going to [[ShootTheDog execute]] [[spoiler:General Krell, Krell taunts him over his inability to pull the trigger and his inherent weakness. [[BadGuysDoTheDirtyWork Too bad for him that Dogma is there to pull the trigger.]]]]
* ZergRush:
** This is the standard battle droid strategy. Due to the use of HollywoodTactics, this often becomes a strategy for the clone troopers as well.
** After Obi-Wan frees them from Separatist captivity in "Innocents of Ryloth", a horde of Twi'leks save him and exact their revenge by swarming over an armored assault tank and ripping apart the T-series Tactical Droid Commander with their bare hands.

SacredCow: ''The Clone Wars'' is held in high regard as one of, if not ''the'', best works to have ever been produced in the franchise next to the original trilogy. Even saying that there's any type of flaws or if something else is better than it (especially when it comes to anything made since the Disney acquisition) will draw ire.

Ahsoka Tano is
After escaping from Mandalore, Ahsoka wandered the galaxy for a year, staying in hiding from the Empire while attempting to offer some aid to those who stood against it. After killing the Inquisitor known as the Sixth Brother during the Uprising on Raada, Ahsoka joined forces with Senator Bail Organa to help create a rebel network. Taking the codename "Fulcrum," she became the head of the network's intelligence service.
[[foldercontrol]]
[[folder:A-C]]
* ActionDuo: She forms one
* ActionGirl: She is a female Togruta who is a very skilled (now-former) Padawan learner and member of the Jedi Order. She also saves Anakin almost as many times that he saves her.
* AdaptationalModesty: During the Zygerrian Slavers arc, Ahsoka is put in a rather [[GoGoEnslavement fanservice-y slave outfit]]. However, this outfit is very modest compared to the outfit from the comic book storyline the Zygerrian Slavers arc was adapted from, which was even more revealing than her default appearance in the first two and a half seasons of ''The Clone Wars''.
* AffectionateNickname:
** Anakin occasionally calls Ahsoka "Snips".
** Plo Koon occasionally calls her "Little 'Soka".
* AffirmativeActionGirl: ''The Clone Wars'' has a lot of {{Action Girl}}s, but Padmé was the only female character in the Prequel Trilogy with an active role.
* AgeInappropriateDress: As ''The Clone Wars''' most prominently featured female character, she's also the primary [[MsFanservice source of]] {{Fanservice}}, resulting in most of her outfits being quite questionable.
* AlienHair: Her horns and head-tails.
* AmbiguouslyBi:
** She is attracted to Lux Bonteri and later Nyx Okami. Behind the scenes, Giancarlo Volpe says he added subtext between her and Barriss Offee: "[[http://giancarlovolpe.tumblr.com/post/94796479979/gizzlescribbles-hmmmwhatever-its-late You have
** In Ahsoka's self-titled book, Kaeden Larte is interested in her and admits her feelings to Ahsoka after being rescued from the Empire. Ahoska is surprised and flattered by the admission, but as they are in the middle of escaping an Imperial base (and with Ahsoka's Jedi conditioning), there is no time for her to process her feelings, although they are implied throughout the novel.
* AmbiguousGender: Hera does not use any pronouns to refer to Fulcrum, and the way the voice is modulated disguises her gender. Even the voice actress goes uncredited in her first few appearances. Fulcrum's holo-comm appearance in "Rebel Resolve," though still hidden by a cloak, has less distortion and a definite female tone to her voice. She appears in person in the season one finale, revealing herself to be Ahsoka Tano.
* AmbiguousSituation: Twice in ''Rebels''.
** [[spoiler:Darth Vader leaves her marooned on Malachor. What happened to her after that is unclear, but [[https://thewookieegunner.com/2016/07/15/swce-2016-ahsoka-tano-digital-cards-topps/ Topps cards drawn by Filoni]] suggest she is in some sort of mental underworld, a limbo.]] Her fate is finally confirmed in the episode "A World Between Worlds," where [[spoiler:it shows that Ezra used the space-time manipulation powers of the ancient Jedi Temple to save her before she was swallowed up by the collapse]].
** However, "A World Between Worlds" subsequently raises ''another'' ambiguous situation, as [[spoiler:while Ahsoka returns to Malachor after the events of the episode, she promised to find Ezra]], but ''when'' this will happen is unknown... Until it's revealed in "Family Reunion -- And Farewell" that [[spoiler:she survived past the end of the Galactic Civil War and met up with Sabine. Of course, one has to wonder ''when'' she successfully escaped Malachor. . . or [[YearInsideHourOutside when]] she returned there, for that matter]].
* AnimationAnatomyAging: In the PilotMovie and first two-and-a-half seasons, Ahsoka has disproportionately large eyes, a completely round face, horns that are only stubs, and headtails that barely reach beyond her shoulders. After the MidSeasonUpGrade during the third season via "Heroes on Both Sides", her eyes noticeably shrink, her face becomes longer and angled, her horns grow larger and curved, and her headtails reach the middle of her chest. Her adult self (briefly shown in "Overlords") has almond-shaped eyes, an oval face, very large horns, and headtails reaching to her thighs.
* TheApprentice: She's Anakin's Padawan during the time of ''The Clone Wars''.
* ArtShiftedSequel: Her appearance in ''Rebels'' has various changes from her appearance in ''The Clone Wars'', even accounting for age. The blue stripes on her horns and head-tails are thinner and wavy, the markings on her cheeks extend further up to be level with her eyes, her eye markings are extended to just below her eyes, and her forehead markings are wider.
* AudienceSurrogate: She has this role in ''The Clone Wars'' through being a young Padawan that is thrust into a world of adventure.
* BackForTheFinale: [[spoiler:In ''Rebels''. Her survival is explained in "A World Between Worlds," and she subsequently makes a cameo in the series finale.]]
* BadassAdorable: She is especially this prior to the unspecified TimeSkip in the middle of season three due to the fact that her large eyes, voice, personality, general appearance, and small frame in comparison to the rest of the main characters make her very adorable. She can be cute yet badass in the course of the same episode. She even invokes it after she sees Seripas' true form:
-->'''Ahsoka:''' You don't have to ''look'' tough to ''be'' tough.
* BadassInDistress: She has been
* BaitAndSwitch: In the last minutes of "Fire Across the Galaxy," it initially appears as though Bail Organa was behind the identity... and then the ''actual'' Fulcrum, Ahsoka Tano, shows up as his hologram dissipates.
* BareYourMidriff: When she was introduced at the age of [[AgeInappropriateDress 14 years old]], all she wore on her upper body was a truly ''tiny'' tubetop. Her slave disguise during the Zygerrian Slavers arc was also a midriff baring one.
* BigBrotherWorship: Although she usually hides it with being snippy and snarky and is not afraid to argue with him if she feels he's wrong about something, she looks up to Anakin, she has the utmost trust in him, and one of her greatest fears is disappointing him.
* BigEgoHiddenDepths: A few scenes in the PilotMovie and several episodes focusing on her has shown that her initial brash, snippy, and overconfident attitude is merely a facade to hide how insecure she feels regarding her status as Anakin's apprentice.
* BlackAndWhiteMorality: It becomes particularly clear in "Heroes on Both Sides", where she sums up the war as "the Separatists are evil and they (the Republic and the Jedi) must stop them". She can't grasp the idea of why the Senate is wasting time debating bank-(de)regulations. After meeting Mina and Lux Bonteri, she realizes and invokes that the war is [[GrayingMorality not as black and white as she thought]].
* BlueIsHeroic: The upcoming Siege of Mandalore arc sees her in a blue dress, and she also gets a new pair of blue lightsabers.
* BrattyHalfPint: Ahsoka was this when she was first introduced, granting her the nickname "Snips" from her Master. She has mostly grown out of it by the time of season three.
* BreakoutCharacter: Ahsoka was originally created for ''[[WesternAnimation/StarWarsTheCloneWars The Clone Wars]]'', but her immense CharacterDevelopment has made her one of the most popular characters in the show and the franchise
* BreakTheCutie: Despite being an adorable PluckyGirl, the events of the Fugitive arc are just too much for Ahsoka. She gets framed for multiple murders, terrorism, and sedition; the Jedi Council abandons her and makes no effort to conduct their own investigation; the Senate Court (particularly [[InspectorJavert Tarkin]]) are more than happy to sentence her to death. On top of that, Anakin discovers that one of her friends (Barriss Offee) is the one who framed her. In the face of all this, she understandably refuses Yoda's offer to return to the
* BrokenBird: While she was a proud and accomplished Jedi during the Clone Wars, she has since become disillusioned with their teachings and is more of
* TheBusCameBack: Ahsoka officially returns two whole years after her final appearance in "The Wrong Jedi."[[note]]Not counting a cameo appearance in a vision in "Sacrifice."[[/note]]
* TheCavalry: After Chopper calls her for help, she shows up piloting the ''Ghost'' with three Corellian Corvettes as backup just in time to cover the ''Ghost'' crew's escape.
* CharacterDevelopment: Over the course of ''The Clone Wars'', she develops from a cheeky, stubborn, and rash girl into a serious, level-headed, and dependable young woman.
* ChildProdigy: Implied. The headdress Ahsoka wears is teeth of an akul, a large & destructive creature native to Shili. If you manage to kill one, then you get to wear its teeth as a trophy. Ahsoka has had hers since she was ''four-years-old''. Either this shows how skilled she was even then or
* ClearMyName: This is her main goal during the Fugitive arc, though Anakin picks this up after Ahsoka's arrested. In the end, Anakin succeeds, but her trust in the Jedi Council is shattered, which prompts her to leave.
* CleavageWindow: Her second outfit has one. Alhough, it's a little too high to be a completely straight example.
* CodeName: Fulcrum is a code name intended to keep her identity a secret. While the Imperials know of her, they have no idea who she is.
* CombatPragmatist: [[spoiler:In "Twilight of the Apprentice," while Vader is focused on trying to rip the Sith holocron from Ezra's grip, Ahsoka silently ambushes him from behind, tackling him, and managing to cut off part of his faceplate.]]
* CommandingCoolness: When she became a Padawan, she was also given the rank of Jedi Commander.
* CoolBigSis: She acts as role model to Kalifa, O-Mer, and Jinx to a lesser extent. She also acts like this towards Prince Lee-Char.
* CostumeEvolution:
** In the PilotMovie and first two-and-a-half seasons of ''The Clone Wars'', she wears a tubetop and a skirt with white tights. Later in the second half of the third season of ''The Clone Wars'', she switches to a short red dress that evokes more of the conventional Jedi Order outfits but is still unique to her. The upcoming seventh season has her undergo two new outfits, a jumpsuit in the Ahsoka's Journey arc and a blue combat dress in the Siege of Mandalore arc.
** In ''Rebels'', she's returned to wearing clothes for battle; specifically ancient Jedi armor, showing that while she may have left the Jedi Order and tried to become a civilian, she's still in the fight. She's just becoming what the Jedi originally were.
* CryCute: Ahsoka sheds a SingleTear at Obi-Wan's [[FakingTheDead apparent death]]. She does it again when she leaves the Order in "The Wrong Jedi".
* CunningLinguist:
** In "Wookiee Hunt", she is able to understand Shyriiwook, something
** Further down the timeline in "Twilight of the Apprentice," she recognizes the script found on Malachor.
* CurbStompBattle: She easily beat the Fifth Brother ''and'' the Seventh Sister ''simultaneously'' during their first encounter. This doubles as a Big Damn Heroes moment.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:D-I]]
* DamselOutOfDistress: During the Trandoshan arc, she's kidnapped by Trandoshans and thrown out into a jungle to be hunted down. She refuses to hide and run, and decides to fight back against the lizards.
* DatingCatwoman: She's attracted to Lux Bonteri, the son of a Separatist leader. Later, he becomes a rogue element.
* DavidVersusGoliath:
** During the climax of "Wookiee Hunt", she has to fight Garnac, the Trandoshan leader. The guy is 2 meters tall, weighs 178 kilograms, has a very thick reptilian hide, and is armed with an axe and a knife in addition to his claws, and his species are on the same scale of physical strength as Wookiees. All Ahsoka has is her WaifFu and skills with the Force.
** In ''Rebels'', she's grown up since her Clone Wars days. So has Vader, so to speak. The featurette on the season two bluray set has Dave Filoni referencing the irony of Anakin teaching her to fight larger opponents.
* DeadpanSnarker: She seems to have picked this up from Anakin and Obi-Wan, neither of whom she is particularly averse to snarking at.
* DefectorFromDecadence: As a result of how the Jedi Order abandoned her when she had been framed for murder, Ahsoka decides not to return when given the offer. The event apparently shook her enough that she when she built a pair of new lightsabers during the events of ''Ahsoka'', they had white blades to symbolize her lack of affiliation with the Order.
* DesignatedVictim: She has a tendency of getting into ''real'' trouble very frequently. So far, she's been captured/kidnapped on six occasions, and the Fugitive arc has her accused of multiple homicides and terrorism/sedition.
* {{Deuteragonist}}: She is one of the secondary main characters of the ''The Clone Wars'' (the other one is Obi-Wan).
* DisneyDeath: The Son temporarily kills her after [[YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness she outlives her usefulness]]. Anakin and the Daughter bring her back by transferring the latter’s remaining life force to Ahsoka.
* DoNotCallMePaul: Inverted. When she makes her first full appearance to the crew of the ''Ghost'', she insists on being called by her real name -- Ahsoka Tano -- over her codename. Her codename is still used on occasion, however.
* DramaticIrony: Because she was not seen with Anakin and Obi-Wan in ''Revenge of the Sith'', many assumed she'd die before the end of ''The Clone Wars''. [[spoiler:As of the series finale of ''Rebels'', she's outlived both of them.]]
* DreamingOfThingsToCome: She foresees Aurra Sing's attempt to assassinate Padmé in her dreams in "Assassin" and has a vision of her adult self warning her about the darkness in Anakin in "Overlords." In "Wookiee Hunt", she dreams of Chewbacca's capture before the Trandoshans bring him to the planet.
* DualWielding: She has added a shoto (which is a short lightsaber) to her arsenal during the MidSeasonUpgrade between "Hunt for Ziro". and "Heroes on Both Sides" It doubles as a bit of ShownTheirWork as the offhand weapon is supposed to be shorter in RealLife martial arts.
* DudeMagnet: Besides a complicated romance with Lux, Ahsoka's attractiveness has been noted several times. Unfortunately, most of them were from slimey men.
* EffortlessAmazonianLift: In "Sabotage", after Anakin gets knocked out while piloting his starfighter and Artoo has to make a crash-landing on a too-short cliff, Ahsoka leaps over to his fighter, hoists him from it, and then jumps back to the cliff moments after the starfighter goes barreling off. This is especially impressive considering that she could barely lift him back in the season one episode "Jedi Crash".
* EmbarrassingNickname: The Mortis Arc reveals that Ahsoka hates it when Anakin calls her "Snips".
* EnsignNewbie: Lampshaded in the PilotMovie by Rex, who was quick to point out that even if she does outrank him, it doesn't make up for her lack of experience.
* ExactWords: [[spoiler:When Vader claims he destroyed Anakin, Ahsoka vows to avenge his death. [[{{Hypocrite}} Vader retorts that "revenge is not the Jedi way,"]] to which [[PreAssKickingOneLiner she responds thusly]]:]]
-->'''Ahsoka:''' ''[[spoiler:[[LoopholeAbuse I am no Jedi.]]]]''
* FacialMarkings: This is the cool part of her alien physiology that morphs with maturity.
* FakingTheDead: She and Rex did this after the Siege of Mandalore by creating a fake grave for him, and she left her original pair of lightsabers on it to sell the deception.
* FanservicePack: While she was already attractive from the beginning in ''The Clone Wars'', Ahsoka, being a teenager, understandably developed a more voluptuous yet athletic body after the MidSeasonUpgrade. Notably, while this trope is often accompanied by the character getting more {{Stripperiffic}}, since Ahsoka's first outfit was already ''very'' questionable, the model-change came with a more reserved yet form-fitting dress as her default outfit.
* FatalFlaw: Her overconfidence and drive to prove herself worthy of being Anakin's Padawan learner get her into situations well beyond her ability to handle a lot of time. She's also somewhat quick to make judgements, and she has the upmost trust towards Anakin, the Jedi Order, and the Republic itself, things that backfire ''very hard'' on her during the Fugitive arc.
* FingerlessGloves: She wears them with both of her standard outfits.
* FormFittingWardrobe: Her second outfit looks very form-fitting. This makes one wonder how can she fit her head (which is quite a bit larger than a human's own due to her horns and head-tails) through the tight-looking neckpart of her shirt.
* FragileSpeedster: She's quick and agile, but initially she lacks in endurance.
* FriendToAllChildren: She is shown to be quite good with children through the way she takes care of Rotta (Jabba the Hutt’s infant son), rescues the force-sensitive infants from Mustafar, and repeatedly puts her life in risk to protect the younglings under her care.
* GenerationXerox: To Anakin; she has an attitude similar to his and lost her lightsaber once.
* GenkiGirl: She is especially this in the PilotMovie and first two and a half seasons. Precocious little thing!
* GirlyBruiser: She is very much this trope.
* GoGoEnslavement: During the Zygerrian Slavers arc, she is disguised as a slave girl and given a rather questionable BedlahBabe outfit that was even more revealing than her first one.
* GoodCounterpart:
** To Asajj Ventress. Both of them are former Jedi who left the order, both of them were the apprentices of a Sith who used to be a Jedi, both of them use two lightsabers in combat, both of them ended up getting betrayed by their respective masters, both of them fought their former masters’s next apprentices after them (Ventress fought Savage Opress after he betrayed both her and Dooku, while Ahsoka fought the inquisitors) who wielded red double-bladed lightsabers, both of them are still affiliated to their respective side of the force even after leaving the service of their respective organizations (Ahsoka is still on the light side even after leaving the Jedi Order while Ventress still uses the dark side even after the Sith betrayed her), both of them ended up joining the enemies of their former masters (the Nightsisters, the Republic, and the Rebel Alliance), both of them end up training people in the ways of the force to help them defeat their former masters (Ventress trains Opress for a little bit, while Ahsoka also trains Ezra for a little bit) and both of them ultimately fail to defeat their former masters. However, where they contrast is that while Ahsoka ended up leaving the order of her own volition and wants to fight Vader to avenge her friends (and try to bring Vader back to the light side too if she can), Ventress wants vengeance solely for herself and ends up hurting and killing a lot of people to make it happen. Ventress’s motives and methods against Dooku are more selfish and ruthless, while Ahsoka’s motives and methods are more selfless and diplomatic. Also, as said earlier, Ahsoka may not be a Jedi, but she still follows the light side, while Ventress, despite not being Sith, still follows the dark side. Her comment to Ventress when they teamed up many years ago [[{{Foreshadowing}} turned out to be more accurate than either of them thought it would be.]]
--->'''Ahsoka:''' [[NotSoDifferent I’ve fallen from my path just as you’ve fallen from yours. We have a lot more in common than you think.]]''
** To Gall Trayvis, who was baiting Rebel cells with false intel. Ahsoka's aid is genuinely helpful, though cryptic.
* GreenSkinnedSpaceBabe: More like "Orange-Skinned Space Babe". Ahsoka is a very attractive female Togruta.
* HairDecorations:
** For most of ''The Clone Wars'' she wears a set of akul teeth as a headdress, which is a cultural trophy from Shili. After leaving the Jedi Order, she replaces it with a metallic headpiece.
** In ''Rebels'', she now has a tiara helm.
* HasAType: Given her romantic interests are Lux, Nix, and Kaeden, it seems Ahsoka has a thing for humans.
* HelpingWouldBeKillStealing: She takes this role during the Onderon arc. With her assistance, the rebellion would have gone much more smoothly, but it would defeat the purpose of internal rebellion to have obvious outsider aid in the form of the Jedi.
* HeroicBSOD: Upon making a mental link with Darth Vader, she screams in horror before passing out.
* HeroOfAnotherStory: Her role in the first two seasons of ''Rebels'' is basically meant to compliment the story of the ''Ghost'' crew, [[DefiedTrope as opposed to]] [[SpotlightStealingSquad overtaking it]].
* HiddenDepths: Ahsoka's brief sojourn to the Dark Side in "Altar of Mortis" implies that she is holding back quite a bit of frustration with Anakin's teaching methods as well as her perception that he doesn't entirely trust or believe in her.
* HonoraryAunt: While she's not in the ''Ghost'' crew's primary circle, she and Ezra share a strong bond.
* HonoraryTrueCompanion: Despite the fact that she left them, the Jedi, clone troopers, and Anakin especially still consider her one of them to the point Anakin gave her half his army and her lightsabers on Mandalore to fight Maul. Ezra and Kanan still keep her memory and [[spoiler: find a loophole in the universe to save her by the end of season four.]]
* HonorBeforeReason: In [[Recap/StarWarsTheCloneWarsS4E14AFriendInNeed "A Friend in Need"]], Ahsoka must have been perfectly aware that even if she did have her lightsabers, she would have had a rough time surviving a fight alone against the Death Watch. However, she attacked them with only a makeshift staff and her martial arts skills to protect [[BusFullOfInnocents the villagers.]]
* HornedHumanoid: Her horns grant her [[SuperSenses super effective hearing.]]
* HugeGuyTinyGirl: A platonic example with Anakin. Justified, as she is a teenager while he is a full-grown adult.
* HumanPopsicle: More like Togruta Popsicle. She [[https://78.media.tumblr.com/beed1ac92c1a4f5cff7f44cd1bda241b/tumblr_nad8f6zWYi1s6w6foo1_1280.jpg froze herself in carbonite]] in "The Citadel."
* HypocriticalHumor: She called Ventress (who apparently [[ImportantHaircut chose to be]] [[BaldOfEvil bald]]) a "hairless harpy" despite [[BizarreAlienBiology being naturally hairless]] herself.
* InnocentBlueEyes: They signify her youth and naïveté.
* InsigniaRipoffRitual: In "The Wrong Jedi", her Padawan braid is taken from her when she's expelled from the Jedi Order.
* InterspeciesRomance: She is a Togruta and has love interests in the form of Lux Bonteri and Nyx Okami, who are both human.
* ItsAllMyFault: "Shroud of Darkness" suggests that, on some level, Ahsoka blames herself for Anakin becoming Darth Vader.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:J-O]]
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Ahsoka can be brash and arrogant, but she is also extremely compassionate and someone you can definitely rely on. She also starts to tone down the 'Jerk' part of her character and becomes more level-headed [[CharacterDevelopment over time.]]
* KidAppealCharacter: Ahsoka is this at the beginning of ''The Clone Wars'', but she grows out of this role as the series progresses.
* KidHeroAllGrownUp: She was the KidHero of ''The Clone Wars'', and over a decade later has grown into a leader in the early rebellion.
* KnightKnaveAndSquire: She is the Squire to Obi-Wan's Knight and Anakin's Knave. She even invokes it in the PilotMovie when she tells Anakin that he's the one with experience from which she looks forward to learning from.
* KnowledgeBroker: Spymaster. Gives information to various Rebel groups.
* LadyOfWar: She takes a moment to meditate in the middle of a battle before effortlessly defeating the Seventh Sister. She's even addressed as "Lady Tano" in ''Rebels''.
* TheLancer: To Anakin, a role she shares with Rex and occasionally Obi-Wan.
* LaserBlade:
** In ''The Clone Wars'', she wields a green-bladed lightsaber and later adds a yellow-bladed shoto to her arsenal. In the upcoming seventh season, she's given a new pair of blue lightsabers.
** Later in ''Rebels'', her new lightsabers are designed after [[KatanasAreJustBetter katanas]], including a slightly curved hilt, to better
* LastOfHerKind: [[spoiler:As of the Rebels epilogue, she's the last person living who was trained in the Jedi Order, even though she left it.]]
* LightIsGood: Wields two white lightsabers and is a firmly heroic character. [[spoiler: Also, in her appearance in the ''Rebels'' finale, she wears a white cloak and wields a white staff.]]
* LikeBrotherAndSister: This is her usual dynamic with Anakin, despite being his Padawan. They also double as PlatonicLifePartners.
* LittleMissBadass: She is very young and inexperienced, but also quick-thinking and tough as nails.
* LovelyAngels: With Padmé whenever they team up in ''The Clone Wars'' and ''Forces of Destiny''. Ahsoka is a [[CuteBruiser scrappy]] MagicKnight, while Padmé is an [[LadyOfWar elegant]] BadassNormal and ActionPolitician,. They have a sisterly relationship, with teenaged Ahsoka [[CoolBigSis looking up to]] Padmé.
* LoveTriangle: She gets caught in one with Lux and Steela (an Onderon freedom fighter) during the Onderon arc.
* MeaningfulAppearance: Her Siege of Mandalore outfit [[{{Futureshadowing}} futureshadows]] her latter appearance in ''Rebels''; her headpiece, wrist gauntlets and skirt look similar to what she wears in ''Rebels'', and the patterns on her lekku have started to become jagged as well.
* MeaningfulName:
** "Ahsoka" means "sorrow-less" in Sanskrit, a reflection of her PluckyGirl status.
** "Tano" means "five" in Swahili. Ahsoka is the fifth generation of Jedi on the MasterApprenticeChain that she is the part of.
** A fulcrum is something that plays a central role in an activity, event, or situation. Appropriate for someone who organizes rebel cells.
* MedalOfDishonor: In "The Wrong Jedi", after she's been cleared of all charges of sedition, terrorism and murder, she is offered a chance to return to the Order and it's implied that the Jedi Council is willing to knight her for the strength and resilience she had shown throughout the whole ordeal. Since they were the ones who expelled her from the Jedi Order, this comes off as a rather rude attempt to
* MidSeasonUpgrade: In the middle of season three, an unspecified TimeSkip updates her appearance alongside most of the cast. Ahsoka also picks up DualWielding, pushing it into this trope.
* AMindIsATerribleThingToRead: In "The Siege of Lothal," she joined the ''Ghost'' crew in their attempt to stop Vader from destroying the rest of Phoenix Squadron. When she realises that the pilot of the lone [=TIE=] is a Force-sensitive, she and Kanan use the Force together to try and probe him. She's so thoroughly horrified when she and Vader mutually recognise each other that she faints.
* MiniDressOfPower: Her first outfit consists of a truly ''tiny'' tube-top, and a DangerouslyShortSkirt [[ProperTightsWithASkirt made safe by tights.]]
* MoralityChain: To Anakin. She helps keeps his rash nature in check, and it's the moments when she's in danger where he comes the closest to using the Dark Side. Even when Anakin became Darth Vader, she still serves as one to him, [[spoiler:given how he was willing to [[YouWillBeSpared show her mercy and potentially do the same to Ezra and the others]] if she agreed to give him the information he wanted on the rebels and join him. Compared to how he usually mercilessly slaughters rebel and Jedi alike, it's a glaring moment. Even during their fight, he noticeably stops, calls for her, and looks conflicted when Ahsoka tells him [[YouAreNotAlone she won't leave him again]]]].
* MsFanservice: All the examples of AgeInappropriateDress should make this abundantly clear.
* MusclesAreMeaningless: Over the course of ''The Clone Wars'', she has displayed feats of physical strength belying her stature numerous times, such as when she defeated Cad Bane and Atai Moleck along with when [[EffortlessAmazonianLift she pulls up the much larger Obi-Wan]] who was hanging from a cliff. It could be justified due to the Force.
* MySignificanceSenseIsTingling: After her first dreams about Aurra Sing attempting to kill Padmé, she is also able to sense the danger to the senator while awake. This includes sensing Aurra’s location twice, which allows her to save Padmé on both occasions.
* MysteriousEmployer: Hera is the only member of the ''Ghost''[='=]s crew who has met Fulcrum in person, an arrangement insisted upon by the latter. After the events of the season one finale, however, that pretense is abandoned.
* TheNeedsOfTheMany: Ahsoka (at this point, "Fulcrum") tells Hera to abandon Kanan after he gets captured, arguing that the security around him is too tight, and any rescue attempt would most likely cost the rest of their crew. When Hera takes the crew in anyway and Chopper calls for help, she personally intervenes to rescue them.
* NeverLiveItDown: In-universe. Ahsoka calls Anakin "Skyguy" exactly once in the PilotMovie, but she rarely does it anymore and generally becomes a lot more respectful towards Anakin by the time of season three. Despite this, Anakin still calls her "Snips" a lot (granted, she did pick up some of his and Obi-Wan's DeadpanSnarker tendencies).
* TheNicknamer: She initially called Anakin "Skyguy" and referred to R2 as "Artooie". She grew out of it fairly quickly.
* NoodleIncident: According to AllThereInTheManual regarding the headdress, those are teeth of an akul, a large & destructive creature native to Shili. If you manage to kill one, then you get to wear its teeth as a trophy. While it makes sense for Shaak Ti to have one, one wonders how Ahsoka at the age of ''fourteen'' got hers, unless akul aren't as hard to kill as they sound or Ahsoka is that skilled.
* OlderAndWiser: Ahsoka spent a lot of ''The Clone Wars'' asking questions; now, as an adult, she is the one answering them.
* OlderIsBetter: Ahsoka wears Jedi armor from the era of the Old Republic that she [[NoodleIncident found in an abandoned Jedi temple]].
[[/folder]]
[[folder:P-S]]
* PlatonicLifePartners: A master/student variant with Ahsoka. They form a deep, sibling-like bond throughout ''The Clone Wars'', with Ahsoka acting as one of Anakin's {{Morality Chain}}s and her having a great admiration for him.
* PluckyGirl: Ahsoka has been beaten, tortured, hunted, nearly killed several times, and watched several friends and allies suffer and die over the course of the Clone Wars. Yet, despite all of this, she never complains or gives up. Sadly, being betrayed and framed for sedition and murder by a close friend, abandoned by the Jedi Council, and almost sentenced to death by the Republic Court in "The Wrong Jedi" manages to [[BreakTheCutie break]] her.
* PoorCommunicationKills: What leads her to becoming Fulcrum is realizing that the reason so many of her friends died on Raada was because of her unwillingness to share information. She also muses that the Jedi may have been saved if Bariss had had a better way to voice her concerns about the state of the Republic, and if the Jedi had listened. At the end of her solo book, she decides that she will personally ensure no more people die because of a lack of information and trust.
* PowerNullifier: She was able to deactivate the Seventh Sister's lightsaber with the Force.
* ProperTightsWithASkirt: This is the only thing that saves the DangerouslyShortSkirt she wears with both of her regular outfits.
* PutOnABus: She's largely absent from the first half of ''Rebels'' Season 2 due to her search for answers regarding Darth Vader.
* {{Reconstruction}}: Of being a Force user. The logical conclusion to a Jedi being conflicted tends to end up with them falling to the DarkSide. Ahsoka is a reconstruction of being a Force user; while she's no longer a Jedi, she's firmly on the Light Side of the Force, and operates on her own code. In the end, she's ultimately an ally to the ''Ghost'' crew and the Rebellion.
* RedOniBlueOni: She is the red to Barriss's blue. She even has the skin color to match.
* RememberTheNewGuy: ''The Clone Wars'' develops her up as an important figure in the Jedi Order and a very close friend of Anakin in addition to being probably the third most important person in his life after his mentor/best friend Obi-Wan and his wife Padmé, but she's not mentioned ''once'' in any of the theatrical films since she was created three years after the Prequel Trilogy concluded with ''Film/RevengeOfTheSith'' (which ''[[WesternAnimation/StarWarsTheCloneWars The Clone Wars]]'' is set before). It's justified in ''Film/ThePhantomMenace'' and ''Film/AttackOfTheClones'' as she hadn't met Anakin yet during those theatrical films; it could also be justified in ''Revenge of the Sith'' that she wouldn't be mentioned because her departure is a sore spot for Anakin and he has other things on his mind.
* RescueRomance: In "A Friend in Need", she saves Lux from being executed on Count Dooku's orders.
* RetiredBadass: Averted, as she's been active in the Rebellion almost since the
* TheReveal: "Fulcrum" is unveiled as Ahsoka Tano in "Fire Across the Galaxy."
* ReverseGrip: Her fighting style.
* RubberForeheadAliens: She is a Togruta.
* {{Samurai}}: According to Dave Filoni, this was his primary influence in overseeing her ''Rebels'' redesign.
* ScrewThisImOuttaHere: In "The Wrong Jedi", she declines to rejoin the Jedi Order in light of her faith in the Jedi Council being shaken by her trial.
* SecretSecretKeeper: "The Wrong Jedi" implies that she knows about Anakin and Padmé being together. This was [[WordOfGod confirmed by Filoni]] in an interview, although he did not specify how much she knows.
* SexyBacklessOutfit: Her second outfit combines this with a more-modest-than-usual CleavageWindow.
* ShesGotLegs: She tends to wear outfits that highlight her very nice legs.
* ShipperOnDeck: Implied. The ''Forces of Destiny'' episode "Unexpected Company" has her stating that she likes Padmé, smiles warmly when the former and Anakin share a warm embrace, tells Padmé in her own way that she [[SecretSecretKeeper knows]] about them by saying they make a good team, and then decides to stay on the ship to give the couple some [[LeaveTheTwoLovebirdsAlone alone time.]]
* ShockwaveClap: [[FreezeFrameBonus It's hard to notice]], but in her fight against the Seventh Sister, Ahsoka didn't actually use the standard Force-push to finish off the fight, rather she just clapped her hands together.
* {{Shorttank}}: Ahsoka is a snippy, back-sassing, little spitfire with clothes sort of befitting her rebellious attitude, but [[CharacterDevelopment she tones down a bit]] by the time of season three.
* ShoutOut: Her place in the ''Rebels'' story bears a distinct resemblance to [[Literature/TheLordOfTheRings Gandalf]], as an older mentor figure with her own plotline and personal connections to the BigBad, [[spoiler:supposedly dying holding off an enemy]], and [[spoiler:and is brought back to aid the heroes. Her last outfit is as blatant as it gets, a white hooded cloak with a staff similar to Gandalf the White.]]
* SigilSpam: Fulcrum's logo is seen on the cargo that Hera and Sabine pick up in ''Out of Darkness''. It resembles Ahsoka's forehead markings, and serves as the first big hint at Fulcrum's identity.
* StableTimeLoop: [[spoiler:How she survives the battle with Vader, combined with TimeTravelEscape. She pushes Ezra to safety while seemingly sacrificing herself. Two years in the future, an older Ezra (who has now accessed the World Between Worlds), guided by Morai, manages to rescue her just as Vader is about to kill her and the temple is collapsing. However, after escaping Palpatine, she decides to return back to her time stream, albeit shortly after the temple collapses, hence the shot of her walking into the temple at the end of "Twilight of the Apprentice."]]
* StatuesqueStunner:
** Ahsoka in ''Rebels'' stands at 1.88 meters tall (6'2), towering over most of the men in the series. This is in contrast to her earlier depiction in ''The Clone Wars'' of usually being the shortest of the group due to her youth.
** This height takes her lekku (head-tails), which project beyond her skull, into account. This is why in ''Rebels'' she is still shown to be shorter than Rex, who is officially 6'. Removing this additional height would still place her around 5'10 - 5'11, which is quite statuesque.
* SuperSenses:
** Since Togruta horns work as passive echolocators, she has very sharp hearing, which she uses to find the kidnapped infants in "Children of the Force" and to eavesdrop on a conversation regarding Aurra Sing in a noisy bar in "Lethal Trackdown."
** She also possesses extremely fine spatial awareness, which she uses when she saves Anakin from a bunch of Separatist droids by bringing down a wall on them [[ByWallThatIsHoley while he was standing right under a hole in it]] in the PilotMovie.
* SuperStrength: Due to amplifying her physical attributes with the Force, she's strong enough to knock out armored clone troopers with single punches and send them sprawling with her blows, despite obviously lacking anywhere near the strength or mass to do that otherwise (she has little muscle on her and weighs less than 120 pounds).
* SurvivorGuilt: She feels this in ''Ahsoka'' in the aftermath of Order 66, and again in ''Rebels'' when learning of Anakin's fate. Comes with being the LastOfHerKind.

[[folder:T-Y]]
* TeamDad: Besides being a TeamMom, Ahsoka can also show disciplinary and protective side to the younglings she guarded during the Young Jedi arc.
* TeamMom: Besides being a TeamDad, Ahsoka can also show a kind, nurturing side to the younglings she guarded during the Young Jedi arc.
* TemptingFate: She has a tendency early on in ''The Clone Wars'' to say something like "The hard part’s over" when it seems they've won the day. True to formula, things always turn for the worse soon afterwards. Apparently, she has learned her lesson as she stops doing it by the second season.
* TokenNonHuman: The cast of ''The Clone Wars'' as a whole has quite a few aliens, but Ahsoka is the only one in the main group.
* TookALevelInBadass:
** Ahsoka has taken several over the course of ''The Clone Wars''. This is exemplified by how she approaches each fight. In her first encounter with General Grievous, [[LeeroyJenkins she dashes in recklessly]] and Grievous defeated her without even trying. In their second encounter, she was actually able to hold her own and knock Grievous back once, despite still being heavily outmatched by the cyborg general. She also assumes a purely defensive position [[KnowWhenToFoldEm and retreats as soon as she's able to do so.]]
** In terms of prominence, she goes from a Padawan to an important leading force in the early fight against the Empire. [[spoiler: Specifically, an early founder. She turns Bail Organa's spies into an intelligence network, becoming the Rebellion's spymaster until her confrontation with Vader.]]
** In terms of combat ability, she goes from frequently being on the receiving end of TheWorfEffect, to the applying end in her first fight on ''Rebels'', when she soundly stomps the Fifth Brother and the Seventh Sister, and holds off [[spoiler:Maul]] rather effectively. [[spoiler:Everyone was expecting TheWorfEffect to apply in full to her fight against Vader, but she more than holds her own, and in fact seems to be winning before the temple starts collapsing, although it's later on shown that she was seconds away from losing before Ezra pulls her out]]. [[spoiler:After Ezra from the future rescues her, she manages to outrun and even briefly hold back the magic spells of [[BigBad Darth Sidious]] himself, meaning that she has fought ''6 Dark Side users'' (3 Inquisitors, 1 former Sith Lord, and 2 current Sith) within the span of a few hours, and ''survived'']].
* TookALevelInKindness: Early episodes show her as being a reckless student and a showoff. As the series goes on, these traits are subdued and she better fits the mold of a member of the Jedi Order.
* TraumaCongaLine: The Fugitive arc is just one emotional blow to Ahsoka after another, leading up to her resignation from the Jedi Order.
* TraumaticHaircut: As a Togruta, she doesn't have hair by default, so she can't grow a Padawan braid. Instead, she wears a braid made of beads to symbolize her status as a Jedi-in-training. Cad Bane took it from her as a trophy when he captured her. She didn't appear to be anything but mildly irritated by it, but she did make a point to take it back after his capture.
* UndercoverAsLovers: In "A Friend in Need", Ahsoka needed an excuse for why she was with Lux when he went to make a deal with the Death Watch, and she got involved. She claimed she was his betrothed.
* UnusualEyebrows: A subversion of the "no eyebrows" category. As usual for a Togruta, the only hair on her head is her eyelashes. However, she does have eyebrow-shaped white stripes above her eyes.
* UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom: Ahsoka's departure from the Jedi Order was her own personal decision after the events of the Fugitive arc saw her lose trust in the Jedi Order. Unfortunately, this had serious repercussions for Anakin, as she was major MoralityChain for him; once she left, he started falling more towards the Dark Side and...well...we all know how that ends up.
* VaporWear: Both her tiny tubetop and the SexyBacklessOutfit are "suggesting" this.
* TheVoice: Before she was revealed, Ahsoka, using the codename, "Fulcrum," only communicates through audio transmissions using a mechanically distorted voice. A private transmission to Hera using the holo-comm was done while wearing a cloak, concealing any identifying features.
* VocalEvolution: Her voice audibly matures over the course of the timeline. It's most notable in ''Rebels'' when compared to her voice in ''The Clone Wars''.
* WaifFu: She's a very skilled hand-to-hand combatant.
* WellDoneDaughterGirl: She tries to cover it most of the time, but Anakin's acknowledgment means a lot to her, as shown in the PilotMovie and when she rants about not getting any while she is corrupted by the Son in "Altar of Mortis". She finally gets it unadulterated in "The Wrong Jedi".
* TheWorfEffect: She easily curbstomped a pair of Inquisitors that, effectively, curbstomped Kanan and Ezra. [[spoiler:She later gives the HeroKiller Darth Vader one of the toughest duels he's ever had, even cutting his mask and damaging his respirator. She brought him to his knees.]]
* WorthyOpponent: What [[spoiler:Vader]] considers her as.
* WrenchWench:
** In "Ghosts of Mortis", it appears that she has picked up some of Anakin's skills with machines. Later in ''Ahsoka'', she survives using said mechanical skills.
* WrongfulAccusationInsurance: In "The Wrong Jedi", after she's cleared of charges of sedition and murder, no mention is made of the fact that she escaped custody, assaulted both military and civilian law enforcement, and consorted with a war criminal.
* YouAreNotAlone:
** She tells Ezra and the others that they aren't the only Rebel cell in the Galaxy -- as her escorts demonstrate. She also notes that the people of Lothal ''did'' get their message.
** A more tragic version occurs [[spoiler:during her fight with Darth Vader, after she damages his mask and respirator and he calls her by name without the distortion of his voice, so he sounds like Anakin again. Seeing him stand there and look conflicted, she declares that she won't leave him behind again, [[IgnoredEpiphany even when he goes on the attack again]].]]
** [[spoiler:When Ezra is tempted to use the World Between Worlds to save Kanan, Ahsoka tells him she understands what she's asking him to do, as she can't save her master either. This convinces him to let Kanan go.]]
* YouShallNotPass:
** In "A Necessary Bond", Ahsoka holds up Grievous while the younglings escape onto ''Slave I'', which is commandeered by Hondo.
** [[spoiler:Performs one on Darth Vader so Ezra and Kanan can escape. Luckily enough, she's rescued - by a ''time traveling Ezra Bridger''.]]

''WesternAnimation/StarWarsTheCloneWars'' is set to return for a seventh season. Created by Creator/GeorgeLucas and directed by Creator/DaveFiloni, the series was initially cancelled in 2013 after the conclusion of the fifth season, with the sixth season being released in 2014. It was then [[UnCanceled renewed]] in 2018 for a seventh season, and is set to premiere exclusively on Creator/DisneyPlus within the first year of the service's launch.
Following up on the events of the previous seasons, the Clone Wars continues to wage across the Galaxy. Former Jedi Padawan Ahsoka Tano (Creator/AshleyEckstein), still reeling from her subsequent departure from the Jedi Order, struggles to adjust to civilian life. The end of the war approaches just as Anakin Skywalker's (Creator/MattLanter) faith in the Jedi slowly dwindles away, all while the twilight of the Republic [[Film/RevengeOfTheSith comes to an end.]]
----
!!Alright, Tropers. What's so important that you brought us all the way back here?
* AnimationBump: Due to the advances in animation technology, the revival season features smoother animation as well as adjusting the character models to be more expressive, and the art style is also more vibrant.
* BlueIsHeroic: Ahsoka receives a new pair of blue-bladed lightsabers, rather than her original green ones, and her final outfit is primarily blue.
* TheBusCameBack: ZigZagged regarding Ahsoka. She left the Jedi Order in the fifth season of ''The Clone Wars'', and her fate was left unknown after the series was initially cancelled. She later came back in ''[[WesternAnimation/StarWarsRebels Rebels]]'' as Fulcrum, which is chronologically set fourteen years later, and the seventh season of ''The Clone Wars'' will show what she was up to after she departed from the Order.
* LateArrivalSpoiler:
** Ahsoka standing next to Bo-Katan in the SDCC '18 trailer gives away the latter's HeelFaceTurn that occurred in Season 5.
** The Celebration Chicago trailer is also rife with major spoilers from the previous seasons, such as Ahsoka leaving the Jedi Order and the deaths of Fives, Echo, and Hevy.
* LeaningOnTheFourthWall:
** Ahsoka tells Anakin in the SDCC '18 trailer that "[[UnCanceled It's been a while]]".
** In the Celebration Chicago trailer, Rex says this to Ahsoka:
--->'''Rex''': [[UnCanceled Glad to have you back, Commander]].
* MeaningfulAppearance:
** Bo-Katan's new helmet markings are the ones that are later seen in ''[[WesternAnimation/StarWarsRebels Rebels]]''.
** Ahsoka's new outfits [[{{Futureshadowing}} futureshadows]] her later appearance in ''[[WesternAnimation/StarWarsRebels Rebels]]'':
*** Her jumpsuit in the Ahsoka's Journey arc takes influence from her ''Rebels'' outfit, which can be seen in the grey color scheme.
*** Her Siege of Mandalore outfit also alludes to it; her headpiece, skirt, and wrist gauntlets look similar to what she wears in ''Rebels'', and the patterns on her lekku have started to change as well.
** Maul's new look takes cues [[spoiler:from his appearance as the head of Crimson Dawn in ''Film/{{Solo}}'']].
* TheOner: In the SDCC '18 trailer, the camera follows an LAAT flying to Fort Anaxes, then shows Anakin, Rex and Hunter walking outside the base, and finally pans to a ''humongous'' Republic fleet above them.

* ResolvedNoodleIncident: The Siege of Mandalore was first mentioned in ''[[WesternAnimation/StarWarsRebels Rebels]]'', with more information about it revealed via supplement material. The seventh season will finally show the battle unfold.
* SavedByCanon: With the seventh season being produced after ''[[WesternAnimation/StarWarsRebels Rebels]]'', characters that were previously fair game such as Ahsoka, Rex and Maul are guaranteed to survive. [[spoiler:Maul is more-so following his cameo in ''Film/{{Solo}}''.]]

to:
* TheAllegedCar: In the Ahsoka's Journey preview, Ahsoka obtains a speederbike that breaks down as she's descending into the lower Coruscant levels. She ends up crashing near Trace and Rafa's shop.
* AnimationBump: Due to the advances in animation technology, the revival season features smoother animation as well as adjusting the character models to be more expressive. The art style is also more vibrant.
* BlueIsHeroic: Ahsoka receives a new pair of blue-bladed lightsabers, rather than her original green ones, and her final outfit is primarily blue.
* TheBusCameBack: ZigZagged regarding Ahsoka. She left the Jedi Order in the fifth season of ''The Clone Wars'', and her fate was left unknown after the series was initially cancelled. She later came back in ''[[WesternAnimation/StarWarsRebels Rebels]]'' as Fulcrum, which is chronologically set fourteen years later, and the seventh season of ''The Clone Wars'' will show what she was up to after she departed from the Order.
* InsistentTerminology: A heartwarming example in the Siege of Mandalore preview. When Ahsoka starts working with the Republic again, the clones she passes by call her "Commander", despite having been
* LateArrivalSpoiler:
** Ahsoka standing next to Bo-Katan in the SDCC '18 trailer gives away the latter's HeelFaceTurn that occurred in Season 5.

* LeaningOnTheFourthWall:
** Ahsoka tells Anakin in the SDCC '18 trailer that "[[UnCanceled It's been a while]]".

* LeParkour: The Ahsoka's Journey preview sees Ahsoka parkouring ''mid-air'' on vehicles when her speederbike starts breaking down, and eventually crash lands her speeder on a platform.
* MeaningfulAppearance:
** Bo-Katan's new helmet markings are the ones that are later seen in ''[[WesternAnimation/StarWarsRebels Rebels]]''.
** Ahsoka's new outfits [[{{Futureshadowing}} futureshadows]] her later appearance in ''[[WesternAnimation/StarWarsRebels Rebels]]'':
*** Her jumpsuit in the Ahsoka's Journey arc takes influence from her ''Rebels'' outfit, which can be seen in the grey color scheme.
*** Her Siege of Mandalore outfit also alludes to it; her headpiece, skirt, and wrist gauntlets look similar to what she wears in ''Rebels'', and the patterns on her lekku have started to change as well.
** Maul's new look takes cues [[spoiler:from his appearance as the head of Crimson Dawn in ''Film/{{Solo}}'']].
* OffModel: The group photo of Rex, Cody, Echo, and Fives in the Celebration Chicago trailer shows Cody holding a Phase II helmet. The Clone army should still be using Phase I armor at the point this photo would have been taken, as the full transition to Phase II armor didn't happen until after Echo seemingly died at the Citadel. Meanwhile, Echo's and Fives' helmets have Phase I fins, which are consistent with the photo's time frame.
* TheOner: In the SDCC '18 trailer, the camera follows an LAAT flying to Fort Anaxes, then shows Anakin, Rex and Hunter walking outside the base, and finally pans to a ''humongous'' Republic fleet above them.
* PoliticallyIncorrectHero: In the Celebration Chicago trailer, Trace and Rafa are among many Coruscant underworld citizens who view the Jedi as warmongers that spread violence and conflict across the Galaxy for no good reason. Ahsoka ends up hiding her background as a Jedi from them so to not be ostracized.

* ResolvedNoodleIncident: The Siege of Mandalore was first mentioned in ''[[WesternAnimation/StarWarsRebels Rebels]]'', with more information about it revealed via supplement material. The seventh season will finally show the battle unfold.

* AndYouThoughtItWouldFail: ''The Clone Wars'' was initially against the odds due to the initial AnimationAgeGhetto, the ties to the divisive Prequel Trilogy [[{{Interquel}} (which the installment is set during)]], and the [[Film/RevengeOfTheSith inevitable outcome]] presenting that the protagonists' actions will be for naught. However, the installment has become extremely popular and helped retroactively rectifies certain aspects of the Prequel Trilogy that were controversial among the fans. The reaction to the installment getting renewed for a seventh season says it all.
