Arc Welding: Count Dooku's comments make it clear that he was with the Sith even during the events of The Phantom Menace, ten years before he publicly became known as a Sith Lord. Beware the Silly Ones: A species-wide example for the Gungans who, in spite of their goofy ways of speaking, are deadly warriors when push comes to shove. Grievous doesn't take them seriously in the least when they confront him despite them outnumbering him and having shut down his entire droid force, only to get his ass handed to him with minimal casualties on their part. Continuity Nod: When Jar Jar arrives at the rendezvous in a sub, he mentions that his ears hurt from the change in pressure from heading to the surface too fast, a problem he also had when going too deep too quickly two episodes ago. Curb Stomp Cushion: Anakin puts up a very strong fight against Dooku and his four Magna-Guards, and keeps fighting even after he's been disarmed, but ultimately, five-on-one is too much for him to handle and their combined strength brings him down. Emergency Impersonation: Jar Jar is forced to dress up as Boss Lyonie in order to stop the Gungan Grand Army from marching on Theed, which was ordered by the mind-controlled Boss. Foregone Conclusion: The Republic manages to capture General Grievous. Naturally, this doesn't last. Hypno Trinket: Rish Loo's talisman forces Boss Lyonie to conspire with General Grievous to plan an attack on Naboo. Impaled with Extreme Prejudice: Rish Loo's reward from Count Dooku. Happens several times during the capture of Grievous; Grievous runs General Tarpals through with a Gungan spear, only for the dying Gungan to return the favour vertically with his own spear, and once he's been shocked to the ground, the Gungans impale each of his limbs to immobilise him while they drag him away. Lampshade Hanging: The plot point that Jar Jar looks exactly like Lyonie while wearing his clothing is lampshaded by Jar Jar's protests when Anakin and Padmà come up with the idea (especially since Jar Jar and Lyonie actually do re-use the same character model, and many of the Gungan soldiers also have recycled character models to save the series' budget):"But wesa all don't look alike!" Oh, Crap!: Jar Jar's entirely justified reaction upon seeing General Grievous. Rish Loo's expression is this when Boss Lyonie (actually Jar Jar) shows up while Loo is attempting to rile the gungans into attacking Naboo. Prisoner Exchange: Dooku forces Padmà to give up General Grievous to the Separatists by torturing Anakin and threatening to kill him. Even though Grievous' capture likely means the end of the war, Padmà loves Anakin too much to see him killed because of her. Secret Secret-Keeper: Let's just say there's a reason Sidious is confident that Padmà will agree to a prisoner exchange with Grievous if Dooku captures Anakin. Senseless Sacrifice: General Tarpals sacrifices himself so the Gungan army can capture Grievous. Unfortunately, the Republic is forced to exchange him for a captured Anakin Skywalker, rendering Tarpals' death pointless. Shout-Out: Rish Loo's name is a reference to Cardinal Richelieu of The Three Musketeers, who plays much the same role. Taking You with Me: General Tarpals sacrifices himself to get close enough to Grievous to impale him with a spear, and while this doesn't kill Grievous, it does incapacitate him enough for the Gungans to defeat and capture him. Underestimating Badassery: Upon seeing himself surrounded by Gungan warriors, Grievious actually laughs in their faces and expects to slaughter them. In less than two minutes they have him helpless on the ground, losing only four of their numbers. You Have GOT to Be Kidding Me!: Grievous's reaction when he's confronted by an army of Gangans outside his ship. They prove him wrong really fast.Grievous: (laughing) You can't be serious! You Have Outlived Your Usefulness: Dooku murders Rish Loo after the Gungan lures Anakin to his laboratory.
