However, once [[KnightOfCerebus Maul]] makes his entrance, the lighter tone is dropped entirely and the series immediately veers into much darker territory all the way until the end. Interestingly, unlike [[KnightOfCerebus his past appearances]], this is less due to Maul himself and more due to his knowledge and fear of [[DownerEnding what's coming]], serving as a reminder to the audience of the ForegoneConclusion.

* VillainForgotToLevelGrind: Maul is still a dangerous foe but his injuries and the distraction of trying to [[TheManBehindTheMan lead Mandalore from the shadows]] has left him waning from his peak, in addition to the Clone Wars accelerating the skills of everyone else. Maul went from challenging two legendary Jedi in ''The Phantom Menace'', nearly killing both, to struggling against a single Padawan, however well trained and experienced she is. Ahsoka points this out herself during their duel, saying his attempt at trapping both Obi-Wan and Anakin were shortsighted at his current capabilities. This is consistent with further degradation in ''WesternAnimation/StarWarsRebels''.

* NonStandardCharacterDesign: The Bad Batch team are clones like the rest of the Republic army but have various mutations from the cloning process that were deemed valuable, making them unusual in both [[ElitesAreMoreGlamorous physical appearance and armor next to the regular infantry]]. While clones have a number of variations in appearance you can tell instantly that they are from the same Jango Fett template. While there is a light similarity the Bad Batch are different enough to make other clones question if they are really clones (Wrecker is [[TheBigGuy noticeably bigger]] and Hunter has a Franchise/{{Rambo}}-esque long hair and bandana but their features make them appear somewhat related to the standard clone, while Tech and Crosshairs are much different).
