8	----
9	!!The Fan-film contains the following examples:
10	* BothSidesHaveAPoint: The rebel prisoner claims that the rebels are just women and children which the Empire slaughtered. The Stormtrooper, 423, who was actually there, recounts that these rebels attacked first and killed several colony members, and the Empire is just defending them.
11	-->'''Rebel:''' Your government is turning into a dictatorship that threatens the galaxy--can't you see that?
12	-->'''Stormtrooper:''' All I see is a group of zealots slaughtering innocent people in the name of a dying religion.
13	* {{Cliffhanger}}: The movie ends with this with 423 letting his old friend to escape, leaving the Rebel general to him. Meanwhile, the fate of 53 is unknown after being shot by the rebel prisoner.
14	* ComingInHot: An Imperial transport gets shot down by Imperial forces. The pilot dies on impact but Nova Squad survives, kickstarting the movie.
15	* DrawingStraws: Due to the high desertion rate after the events of ''Film/ReturnOfTheJedi'', the Empire has introduced decimation. Nova Squad is selected for punishment not because any of them deserted, but because they failed to stop others from doing so. The stormtroopers have to select colored pebbles from a bag--black for life, white for death. Sergeant Coven picks the latter and is about to be shot on the spot when Nova Squad receives a LastMinuteReprieve from Emperor Rax (on condition that they arrest a defector who used to be their commanding officer) so she keeps the [[DesignatedBullet white pebble]] as a reminder of the second chance she was given.
16	* HoistByHisOwnPetard: A wounded Ewok gets crushed by the counterweight rock for the [[CaughtInASnare snare]] that catches the stormtrooper who shot him.
17	* ImpededCommunication: 212 discovers Rebels and attempts to call for his squad only for the enemy jam the communications. This leads 212 to remove his helmet and warn them before being shot.
18	* ImperialStormtrooperMarksmanshipAcademy:
19	** Surpisingly [[AvertedTrope averted]]. Nova Squad is one of the most competent Stormtroopers in Star Wars history.
20	** Lampshaded when Rico taunts 423 to [[GetItOverWith go ahead and shoot him]] because he'd probably miss anyway.
21	* MarkedBullet: A FreezeFrameBonus shows the grenade thrown to escape the ambush has 501 carved on it, implying that Nova Squad are part of [[Characters/StarWars501stLegion Vader's Fist]].
22	* ParrotPetPosition: Sergeant Coven keeps her droid on a shoulder mount.
23	* WeUsedToBeFriends: 423 and Rico were once friends but now they are fighting from the opposite sides.
24	* YouRebelScum: The ground-fighting scene on Endor opens with a female stormtrooper shouting, "Die, rebel scum!"
25	* JustForFun/XMeetsY: The [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gWa0MEOlCVQ first featurette]] for the film describes it as ''Series/BandOfBrothers'' meets ''Franchise/StarWars''.
