* The various firefights throughout the series are portrayed as ''far'' more dangerous and realistic than is the norm for ''Franchise/StarWars''. There's no ducking hails of blaster bolts, or [[ATeamFiring both sides standing in the open trying vainly to hit each other]]: you find cover, or ''you die'', with [[AnyoneCanDie plenty of demonstrations]] to back this up.

Seeing how robotic the clones are is harrowing, especially after witnessing their humanity and empathy in [[WesternAnimation/StarWarsTheCloneWars The Clone Wars]].

* Nemik suffers a horrific death when most of his body is crushed by a sliding crate, with the sickening crunch being one of the worst parts of it. Immediately after being freed, Nemik can only cry how he can't feel his legs, but that crunch and the position it hit his body makes it clear to the viewer his legs are the least of his problems. He's left to suffer in agony until he finally dies while the doctor tries and ultimately fails to save his life.

* Beehaz's death by heart failure is disturbing in how mundane and realistic it is for the setting. After being forced into hard labor at a rapid pace for several minutes without break, the overweight, elderly man is seen fruitlessly gasping, clutching his heart, before keeling over like he'd been shot.

* Every time the Imperials start shooting blasters at people who have none. Yeah, these are usually rioters, on Narkina 5 or Ferrix, and in true ''Star Wars'' fashion the underdogs ultimately win, but every time an Imp pulls that trigger, someone dies. The true cost of this Rebellion: scores dead to buy the smallest chance of making a small stand against Imperial tyranny.

** In fact, the opposite happens. Luthen considers Lonni ''too valuable'' to risk, so won't act on his intelligence that the ISB is wise to an upcoming attack by a Rebel cell. Thirty men are going to die pointlessly because Luthen wants the ISB to think they're getting a handle on things. When we see the hoops the ISB jumped through to keep their knowledge of the attack hidden and not tip off the Rebels, it would be easy to claim there was a fault somewhere in that chain that warned the Rebels off. . . but Luthen won't take that risk. Thirty men are going to die for his idea of the "greater good," and won't even know why.

* The Imperial prison on Narkina 5 is horribly unsettling. Though clean and bright inside, it torments its prisoners by forcing them to work on the same project for their entire shift, using a punishment and rewards system to encourage productivity, saps the will out of all of its inmates, and will actively shock anybody who falls behind by using electrically-charged floors. It gets even worse when one poor prisoner [[DrivenToSuicide takes his own life]], and virtually everyone is [[ConditionedToAcceptHorror numb to it]].

* The Imperial prison on Narkina 5 is horribly unsettling. Though clean and bright inside, it torments its prisoners by forcing them to work on the same project for their entire 12-hour shift, using a punishment and rewards system to encourage productivity, (punishment is being subjected to the pain of the electric floor, reward is ''getting flavor added to your food''), saps the will out of all of its inmates, and will actively shock anybody who falls behind by using electrically-charged floors. It gets even worse when one poor prisoner [[DrivenToSuicide takes his own life]], and virtually everyone is [[ConditionedToAcceptHorror numb to it]]. Their only reactions are to complain about how inconvenient it is for ''them'', having to spend the rest of the night with his body in the hall or his table being a man down for their shift tomorrow, making it unlikely they won't get last place. The whole thing is cold, carefully calculated cruelty to break the inmates' spirits and keep them working hard on their widgets.

* Luthen is revealed to be willing to throw his fellow rebel operatives under the bus to protect his operations, and forces a deep-cover mole who recently becomes a father to continue to work for him by threatening his newborn child's life. Luthen's methods make him no better than the Empire and he clearly knows it, yet that won't stop him from doing what needs to be done anyway, whatever the costs may be. The scene with the mole (Lonni Jung) is especially terrifying, as it involves Lonni communicating with Luthen while inside a malfunctioning elevator whose lights occasionally flicker out. The conversation itself starts with Luthen seemingly threatening his baby daughter. When he finally meets Luthen face-to-face and goes more into his familial life and asks to be relieved of duties, the scene turns more and more tense as Luthen talks about how Lonni cannot leave, and you straight-up expect Luthen to pull a YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness on him and execute Lonni and there, especially as the whole scene seems set up to turn Lonni into a MauveShirt.
