Star Wars: The Clone Wars/Recap/S1 E1 Ambush

In the war, there are still nations that are trying to decide alligences. In order to convince the king of toydaria that the sepratists have enough manpower to defeat the republic, Asajj Ventress proposes a challenge: her finest legion of battle droids against Master Yoda and three clone troopers, and if Yoda can reach them by evening, toydaria can join the republic. Guess who wins.

Tropes
""Great leaders inspire greatness in others.""
 * An Aesop: The opening "fortune cookies" introduced in this episode.

"King Katuunko: He's not worth a hundred battle droids. He's worth a thousand!"
 * Badass Grandpa: Yoda.


 * Call Back: Ventress escapes in the same manner as Dooku from Episode II, by forcing Yoda to save his companions while she flees to her ship.
 * Crowning Music of Awesome: Yoda's Theme returns for his inspiring speech to the clone troopers, and again to close out the episode.
 * Curb Stomp Battle: Asajj Ventress challenges Yoda. Yoda disarms her effortlessly with the Force.
 * Yoda takes on a battalion of droids with tanks and cuts them all down.
 * Dual-Wielding: Ventress. Doesn't help much against a little, green Jedi Master, of course.
 * Faceless Goons: Explored when Yoda asks his troops to take off their helmets. He proceeds to remark on the unique character traits of each of the clones.
 * Leitmotif: Yoda's Theme. Ventress gets a distorted, two-note descending motif.
