History ComicBook / TalesOfTheJedi

The importance of this series for ''Star Wars Legends'' is hard to understate, as it established many critical parts of the universe's lore. Moreover, it led directly to the critically acclaimed ''Videogame/KnightsOfTheOldRepublic'' video game, which in turned paved the way for ''Videogame/StarWarsTheOldRepublic'' MMO. These games have spin-offs of their own, and they all owe that to the ''Tales of the Jedi''.

* OffModel: Sometimes. It depends on the artist. "The Freedon Nadd Uprising" is probably the worst offender, as it goes beyond simply a different art style. Cay and Oss Willum look the same age as Arca Jeth, Dace Diath has some kind of afro-topiary thing going on, and Ulic is given an olive complexion... no, not the Mediterranean kind, but actual ''olive green''.

* BareYourMidriff: Nomi favored a very small shirt while training with Thon. She swaps it for more usual Jedi gear later on.

* EarlyInstallmentWeirdness:

** When Exar Kun is overwhelmed by the Dark Side power of the ancient Sith temple he's exploring on Korriban, he begins to have second thoughts about his search of forbidden Sith knowledge, wonders if his master's warnings had some merit, and decides to return to his ship in order to reconsider if he should continue on his endeavor. Too bad the spirit of Freedon Nadd causes an rock slide, blocking the temple's exit, and forcing Kun to explore the rest of the temple, which would ensure his fall to the Dark Side.

* CatsAreMean: Played with for the {{Beastfolk}} [[PantheraAwesome Cathar]]. Crado and Sylvar start off as loyal, good-hearted, brave Jedi (albeit arrogant in Crado's case and a bit of a BloodKnight in Sylvar's). Once Crado becomes corrupted by Exar Kun, both of their flaws worsen, but Crado ends up becoming a fawning sycophant and loses pretty much all his badassery (and never gains any real menace) while Sylvar's quite justified resentment causes her to become fanatical about both hunting down her former mate and making Kun pay for corrupting him. In the end Crado is so pathetic that [[spoiler:you can't help feeling sorry for him when Kun sends him on a suicide mission in Naga Sadow's ship]], while Sylvar is able to let go of her hatred and blood lust thanks to Nomi and Vima and thus forgive Ulic. The Cathar themselves, in the scenes in ''Redemption'' when Sylvar goes home to try and purge herself of her anger, only come across as strongly noble {{Proud Warrior Race Guy}}s in tune with the natural world but able to control their animal urges, quite in keeping with their appearance as saber-toothed [[KingOfBeasts Kings of the Beasts]].

** ''Redemption'': [[NoAntagonist None]]. The story is about [[spoiler:Ulic Quel-Droma]] trying to atone for his crimes during the previous arc, and training Vima Sunrider as a Jedi.
