Warning: Spoilers Off applies to Moments pages. Proceed at your own risk.

  • Attie's death. After being repeatedly established as a Nice Guy and The Heart of the Teth survivors, it's incredibly depressing to see him die.
    • It's almost worse to see the heartbroken grieving of all of his squadmates.
      • Droidbait stops speaking,and is nearly catatonic for several days.
      • Del blames himself for Attie's death, thinking that if he hadn't been injured it wouldn't have happened.
      • Coric turns to alcohol to try to make himself feel better. When Domino confronts him, he breaks down, nearly in tears, sobbing that "He always hated it when we drank".
      • Zeer becomes self-destructive, pushing himself past his limits in sparring. It takes Rex intervening to prevent him from seriously injuring himself.
  • Jek being killed during an attempt on Padmé's life, while Rhys mourns him and screams that they were going to make it out of the war together.
  • Echo breaking down in tears after quickly abandoning his brief and ill-thought out attempt on Wat Tambor's life. It turns into a Heartwarming Moment when he's comforted by all of Domino Squad.
    • Fridge Horror comes into play when you imagine what might have happened if the Force hadn't urged Fives to go check on him.
  • A Heartwarming example of this comes into play when Fives suddenly meets Kix and Jesse, his old friends, for the first time since he came back.
    • And then it quickly jumps back to regular tearjerker again when he realizes that they have no idea who he is.
  • Five's nightmare when he's in the med-bay after the Blue Shadow Virus incident is made entirely of this and pure nightmare fuel.
  • Kyber... just Kyber.
  • Wolffe's reaction when he realizes that Fox's chip has been activated, and that he's desperetly Fighting from the Inside. He's clearly trying hard to put on a brave front and not break down. Even worse if you subscribe to the common fan theory that they're batchmates.
