* FakeActionPrologue: Luke and Wedge's first scenes in the second issue show them taking on a whole squadron of TIE fighters by themselves. It turns out to just be a round in the simulator.
* HappierHomeMovie: Leia is shown to watch a tourist commercial holovideo for her [[DoomedHomeTown destroyed homeworld]]
* OhCrap:
** While repairing Leia's shot down X-Wing, more Imperials arrive, forcing her to fly her barely functioning fighter on nothing but a cold start for the engines.
** The commanding officer of the ship that Darth Vader has been assigned is visibly shown sweating and shaking, knowing full well about Vader's reputation.
* TemptingFate: Han Solo thinks that with the Rebellion backing him, he no longer has to worry about the debt he owes Jabba the Hutt.
* TookALevelInBadass: Leia pilots her own X-Wing, complete with orange pilot uniform, for the first time ever. In the first issue, Leia manually torpedoes a TIE Interceptor, taking out both it and her X-Wing. After both fighters crash land on a nearby planet, Leia takes out the pilot with her blaster pistol.
* YouHaveFailedMe: For his failure at Yavin, Darth Vader is humiliated by the Emperor and forced to relinquish command of his Star Destroyer and is assigned to a light cruiser. The Emperor even rubs Vader's face in the fact that the new commander of the destroyer has an unblemished record.
