9!!Tropes in this comic issue include:
10* EmotionlessGirl: Kertas and Rismor. Their species communicates by scent, so they don't have much reason to actually speak unless it's [[OOCIsSeriousBusiness dire]], like when one of them tells Cassian to flee with Kaytoo. Cassian is understandably kind of weirded out by them.
11* HeroicSacrifice: The twins appear to do this when they distract the Imperials so Cassian can escape the planet with K-2SO, but are later shown to have successfully evaded the troopers that chased them.
12* HowWeGotHere: The issue begins from K-2SO's perspective as he comes online after he gets switched off the first time... and then he attempts to kill Cassian.
13* LivingMacGuffin: Initially, Cassian and the twins only got mixed up with K-2SO because he kept getting in their way. At the end, however, the twins tell Cassian to take the reprogrammed droid back to their rebel base, as K-2SO contains the Imperial security protocols they were sent to retrieve in the first place.
14* {{Prequel}}: To ''Rogue One''.
