* BilingualBonus: If you're familiar with Aurebesh then you'll notice that when you upload the code in the Imperial factory, the screen spells out "DANCE".

* FrickinLaserBeams: The Laser-Powered Fusion Reactor in the Phrik mines and the laser that reads data crystals later on. Passing through the beams doesn't hurt your droid in the slightest, though this makes sense for the reading laser.

* ArmCannon: The assassin droids sport blasters for both of their arms, though they only attack with the right-handed one, which from the sound and white flash on the HUD, appears to be LightningGun or perhaps a DEMP (Destructive Electro-Magnetic Pulse) cannon for the purpose of destroying droids.

* AliensSpeakingEnglish: Somehow, Wimateeka can speak Basic, as can other Jawas in the missions. Given that the opening scroll breaks tradition by being narrated for young Padawans playing the game

* ArtificialStupidity: The assassin droids aren't very good at accurately following your droid, which greatly helps you evade them.

* FunnyBackgroundEvent: At the start of the second training mission, TIE Interceptors will be continuously flying across the sky, iconic howl and all. This scene happens nowhere else in the game, and is not relevant to the plot in any way.

* PunnyName: The droid RD-RR ("hardy har har"), best known for telling jokes.
* OffModel: Each time you complete a mission, your droid is seen amongst Wimateeka, his fellow jawas, R2 and C-3PO. However, its proportions are drastically different from how it looks in the mission proper, to the point that the smallest droids appear huge, and vice versa.

* AliensSpeakingEnglish: Somehow, Wimateeka can speak Basic, as can other Jawas in the missions.

* BeepingComputers: Woven into some of the background ambience, used most prominently in control room areas.

* BoringReturnJourney: When a mission is begun, your droid is deployed from the Sandcrawler in a slow, dramatic manner with varying camera angles, but at the end, the Jawas simply suck it back into the workshop through a vacuum tube, in much the same manner that R2 was in ''A New Hope''. He and C-3PO sometimes comment on this, as well.
* BottomlessPits: Averted. It's still one of the most common causes for mission failures, but unlike most examples, there's always a bottom no matter what pit you fall into.

* FrickinLaserBeams: The Laser-Powered Fusion Reactor in the Phrik mines and the laser that reads data crystals later on. Passing through the beams doesn't hurt your droid in the slightest, though.

* SelfImposedChallenge: Some missions can be beaten with a droid that doesn't meet all the stated requirements, and there's usually no requirement to actually ''use'' all of your droids' features, either. For example, the training mission that requires night vision can be solved by simply memorizing the stage layout or cranking your screen brightness way up. And while the game won't count the mission as completed until you go through it again with a compliant droid, it won't stop you, either.

* CyberCyclops: The assassin droids have dark red visors for eyes.

* ContinuityNod: Some of the data crystals (other than the ones you find in the missions) show clips from the original Trilogy films. It's also implied that the game itself is situated between ''Empire Strikes Back'' and ''Return of the Jedi''.

* AliensSpeakingEnglish: Somehow, Wimateeka can speak Basic, as can other Jawas in the missions. Although the latter could be {{handwaved}} if your droid or Cammy is using TranslatorMicrobes.

--> ''There's nothing like a warm BLASTER to brighten your day!''

* IShallTauntYou: Once an assassin droid has seen you, it'll continuously taunt you while chasing you down.

** The droid workshop is set up as a room inside Wimateeka's sandcrawler, with dozens of buttons and info tabs for building and customizing your droids, and switches to visit other areas.

* TenSecondFlashlight: A variant. Some droid heads have a floodlight that has a fairly slow power drain, but the night vision sensor on other heads - including R2-D2's, has a faster drain, much like ''VideoGame/SystemShock''. One particular head has a vision sensor explicitly designed to see corrosion, only used in one of the top secret missions.
* TimedMission: On some training missions, the requirement to gain Master rank involves finishing the mission under a time limit.

* TimedMissions: On some missions, the requirement to gain Master rank involves finishing the mission under a time limit.

* ImpliedDeathThreat: In one of the missions, you have to threaten a droid who refuses to help you, by saying that you'll tell Wimateeka that the droid couldn't complete his mission because the assassin droid damaged his welder manipulator. The droid responds in fear that doing so will result in Wimateeka selling him for scrap, and so decides to cooperate.
