!! This fanfic provides examples of:
* AbuseMistake: Following the mission on Kaleesh, Obi-Wan is understandably traumatized from his experience with the [[ChildEater baby-eating]] Yam'rii. This eventually leads to him breaking down crying in front of his master. Unfortunately, due to the TrainingFromHell that Ben typically puts him through, all the other Jedi believe that Obi-Wan's breakdown was due to Ben's harsh training.
* CassandraTruth: Even when presented with proof that Ben is an older Obi-Wan from the future, the Jedi Council is still unwilling to believe his claim that the Sith have returned.
* EntertaininglyWrong: When Breha sees Ben and Obi-Wan's resemblance, she assumes that Ben is Obi-Wan's father. Mace even notes how people could easily come to that conclusion.
* ForWantOfANail: As a result of Ben's interference with the past, numerous events diverge from canon. This is actually the reason why Ben doesn't simply tell the Council everything that's to come. He realizes that with the changes he's already made, the future is no longer set in stone.
** Ben freeing Shmi and Anakin from Gardulla the Hutt and taking them both to the Jedi Temple, eventually results in Shmi becoming Shaak Ti's padawan.
** Ben deciding to take his younger self as a padawan leads to Sian Jeisel becoming Qui-Gon's padawan instead.
* InSpiteOfANail: [[spoiler: Quinlain Vos still ends up falling to the Dark Side. Here it happens even earlier, after he touches Ben's old lightsaber and sees all of Ben's memories.]]
* MeaningfulRename: After traveling into the past, Ben gives himself the last name Naasade, which in the Mandalorian language means "no one".
* SetRightWhatOnceWentWrong: This has become Ben's SeriesGoal.
* TheSpook: Ben Naasade is this to most of the other Jedi. From their perspective, he came out of nowhere and was given the rank of Master by the Jedi Council despite having no record in the Jedi Archives.
