4 | Padmé travels to Rodia on a diplomatic mission, invited by Senator Onaconda Farr, an old family friend, and accompanied by C-3PO and Jar Jar. Once there, however, she discovers that Farr has accepted an offer from the Separatists for food, contingent on one thing: her being surrendered to her old enemy Viceroy Nute Gunray of the Trade Federation. |
5 | ---- |
6 | !!Tropes: |
7 | * BavarianFireDrill: '''C-3PO''' of all characters manages to pull this off while attempting to get access to a control room guarded by two battle droids, telling them that the "Jedi" was seen elsewhere and making them run off. |
8 | * TheBeastmaster: Jar Jar manages to befriend a jungle monster called a kwazel maw, persuading it to attack Gunray's battle droids. |
9 | * BlatantLies: Upon finding a Jedi robe in the closet on Padmé's ship: |
10 | -->'''Jar Jar:''' Whosa do you supposin thisa belonging to?\ |
11 | '''C-3PO:''' I wouldn't... [-um-]... know. |
12 | * CallBack: Gunray wants revenge on Padmé after she bested him back in ''Film/ThePhantomMenace''. |
13 | * CallForward: Threepio ends up fooling a couple of battle droids into believing one of his allies went in a different direction than in the area he's in, much like he would later do in ''Film/ANewHope''. |
14 | * CatchphraseInterruptus: |
15 | -->'''C-3PO:''' I am a protocol droid, fluent in over six million forms of–\ |
16 | '''Battle Droid:''' Quiet! |
17 | * CoincidentalAccidentalDisguise: Jar Jar finds one of Anakin's Jedi robes in the closet on the now-wrecked ship and decides to wear it as a disguise. The Separatists see him wearing it and immediately assume he's a Jedi. |
18 | * DomedHometown: All the cities on Rodia are located under domes. |
19 | * DamselOutOfDistress: Padmé rescues herself after being locked in a prison tower because she has a lockpicking device in her boot and proceeds to fool the battle droids into thinking the "Jedi" running around has broken in to release her. |
20 | * DramaticIrony: Gunray obviously isn't going to stay captured for long since he's with the Separatists in ''Film/RevengeOfTheSith''. This is actually addressed by the Viceroy himself, who warns Padmé that her "victory will be fleeting". |
21 | * FriendToAllLivingThings: Jar-Jar manages to befriend the gigantic aquatic carnivore and use it to destroy the Separatist forces. |
22 | * GirlInTheTower: Padmé is briefly imprisoned in a detention tower. |
23 | * GlowingFlora: Rodia is shown to have large creeping vines with glowing round growths which are planted along tall buildings and walls in public places. |
24 | * ImprovisedWeapon: After accidentally activating an electromagnet in the hangar, Jar Jar maneuvres it into attacking battle droids. |
25 | * MaleGaze: As a result of wearing a very form-fitting white combat suit, Padmé gets subjected to camera shots that presented her nicely toned body, large breasts, and shapely buttocks. |
26 | * MistakenForBadass: Jar Jar Binks is mistaken for a Jedi in a Separatist-occupied city because he slipped which led to him dodging an attack and he was wearing a cloak. The guards were not too bright. [[HilarityEnsues Hilarity]] (and heroism) ensues. Once he realizes that they think he's a Jedi he decides to run with it, using some improvised acting and a local monster he'd befriended earlier to keep up the ruse. |
27 | * MovingTheGoalposts: As Senator Farr discovers to his horror, Gunray's promises of food shipments are primarily contingent on having Padmé in his custody, and even afterwards, the request will be placed under consideration. |
28 | * MyGodWhatHaveIDone: Ono, seeing that Gunray not only wants Padmé as a prisoner of war but wants her executed as soon as possible, realizes that he has in fact made a grave mistake. |
29 | * NotHelpingYourCase: Palpatine tells Padmé she should have brought a clone escort. Jar Jar decides to reassure the Chancellor that Padmé has nothing to worry about, only to trip over Threepio's leg and hit a button that causes the ship to briefly go out of control. |
30 | * ProducePelting: Jar Jar's attempt to communicate with the Rodian swamp life results in several fruits being hurled at him and C-3PO. |
31 | -->'''C-3PO:''' I don't think that requires translation. |
32 | * RegretfulTraitor: Ono sells out to the Separatists for promises that they will help famine stricken people. |
33 | * {{Revenge}}: Gunray really, really wants Padmé dead because of what happened on Naboo all those years ago. |
34 | * RunningGag: C-3PO says "I have a very bad feeling about this" in reaction to Jar Jar's vague rescue plans. |
35 | * ShoutOut: As noted on the DVD featurettes, Padmé is locked up in a tower and Jar Jar tries to rescue her, à la Rapunzel. |
36 | * SureLetsGoWithThat: Padmé claims to Gunray that Ono never intended to leave the Republic and that the entire episode was a plan to capture the Viceroy. Ono, having seen what the Separatists' ways are like and having come to regret the brief alliance, goes along with this immediately. |
