Tropes:

  • All There in the Manual: The Nelvaanian warrior who we see being mutated is named Harvos in the "Nelvaanian" Databank entry on StarWars.com.
  • Broken Faceplate: General Grievous grasps a Clone Trooper's head with his clawed foot and smashes him against a wall so hard that his helmet shatters and his jaw is visible. There's no blood, but it's reasonable to assume that trooper is down for good.
  • Cape Snag: Shaak Ti manages to temporarily defeat General Grievous by using the Force to tie his cape to a passing train.
  • Chainsaw Good: Genndy Tartovsky joked regarding the offscreen fight with General Grievous that they should put the sound of a chainsaw into the scene. It made it into the scene, and it turns an otherwise terrifying scene into something to laugh about as you wonder where he could have gotten a chainsaw. Hilariously, one of the Jedi waiting on the elevator, Corobb, starts frantically hitting the call button faster after the saw falls silent.
  • Continuity Nod: Anakin's cave vision of Darth Vader is a mirror of Luke's.
  • Cybernetics Eat Your Soul: In a sequence reminiscent of Luke's experience in the cave on Episode V, Anakin has a vision in which a warrior loses his arm in battle, and replaces it with a mysterious shiny, black one with great power. At first he is able to defend his home and friends with the power of the arm, but soon it reaches out and kills a bunch of stuff without him meaning to, eventually including his wife. The parallel to the loss of his own hand is clear, and it is certainly tracks to his own tragic fate and reliance on the power of the Force to protect the ones he loves.
  • Futureshadowing: In a cave, Anakin hallucinates, seeing pictures on a wall move before his eyes, foretelling his fall to the dark side.
  • Mushroom Samba: Anakin's vision in the cave. He gets a blast of steam in the face in a cave on Nelvaan. As a result, he starts seeing the cave paintings move. Considering how well the vision summarizes and foreshadows his own fall to the Dark Side, The Force probably assisted the lack of oxygen. This sequence parallels Luke's experience in the cave in Episode V, where he receives a similar vision/warning about his own susceptibility to the Dark Side.
