* BroadStrokes: While the animated series has been rendered non-canon due to the ''Legends'' retcon, many events in the show are alluded to have happened in the Disney canon through references in ''WesternAnimation/StarWarsTheCloneWars'' and reference books. Mace Windu did partake in a mission to Dantooine to stop Separatist seismic tanks, Yoda did rescue Luminara and Barriss on Illum, and Shaak Ti was in charge of Chancellor Palpatine's safety when Grievous attacked Coruscant.

* CyberneticsEatYourSoul: 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.

* FearInducedIdiocy: General Grievous's first appearance in "[[Recap/StarWarsCloneWarsS2E10Chapter20 Chapter 20]]" has him and a droid army cornering a group of seven Jedi on the planet Hypori. The group of Jedi are backed into the wreckage of a ship by General Grievous and his droid army, and they are all on edge after being thoroughly demolished by him and his fighting force. As they await the general's arrival, they hear a mechanical clanking but it doesn't seem to be coming from anywhere, ramping up the tension. Sha'a Gi, one of the Jedi, is overcome by terror, breaks ranks and [[LeeroyJenkins rushes out into the open]], leading to him being killed immediately by Grievous by [[GoombaStomp being crushed by him from above]].

* ExcusePlot: Some early episodes are essentially this, with any story being little more than context for the [[RuleOfCool flashy action scenes]]. However, the show doesn't take long to shed this trope and implement elaborate plotlines and character arcs.

The series had twenty-five episodes in total, running at about 2 hours and 20 minutes -- around the length of the ''Star Wars'' movies of the era. Lucasfilm released a {{recut}} of the microseries as two large narratives on DVD -- Volume I covering the first twenty segments, and Volume II covering the remaining five -- cutting out only minor bits of redundant footage. Unfortunately, the series was never released in any other format for a very long time... Until it joined the Creator/DisneyPlus library in April 2021, released in the mini-movie format rather than through individual segments.

* UnwittingPawn: An interesting case in that, while she's completely willing to do what she's asked, she's not aware of the true reason behind the request. Ventress is sent after Anakin under the pretense that killing him will promote her into becoming a proper Sith. In reality, Darth Sidious does not expect her to win, and is only sent there to drive Anakin closer to the Dark Side.
