History Fanfic / TheHavocSideOfTheForce

* DeadpanSnarker: Harry. [=HK-47=].
* DeathByAdaptation:
** Jabba the Hutt is sunk in salt.
** Cad Bane and Gardulla the Hutt die in Coruscant.

** Harry kills Darth Maul before the Battle of Naboo. In the Disney canon, Maul dies at the hands of Obi-Wan Kenobi on Tatooine. In the Expanded Universe/Legends canon, Maul was apparently resurrected by the Prophets of the Dark Side and fought against Darth Vader only to be killed by him and his brain was stored at a bacta tank which allowed him to appear as a holographic apparition until he was slain by Luke Skywalker.

[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/8594589/1/The-Unsuspecting-side-of-the-Force The Unsuspecting Side of the Force]] is a companion fic that has multiple points of view, detailing events Harry is not present to witness or the reactions of other people in the galaxy to his actions during the main story.

* DeathByAdaptation: Several characters bite the dust earlier than expected due to Harry's influence.
** Harry kills Darth Maul before the Battle of Naboo.

** Anakin indirectly kills Count Dooku well before the Clone Wars begin.
** Jabba the Hutt is sunk in salt.

* ChronicHeroSyndrome: Averted. After all the messes he got in during the books because of his hero complex, Harry decided that now he would not get involved in a mess if it did not benefit him somehow.

* BoringButPractical: Harry's method of dealing with someone placing a massive bounty on his head is to place an even larger one on their head. Once they're dead, Harry uses the Resurrection Stone to [[SequenceBreaking contact their shade and find out]] who put them up to it, then puts a bounty on ''that'' person's head. Rinse and repeat until he reaches Count Dooku.

* StoryBreakingPower: In a galaxy far, far away, Harry's magical abilities allow him to essentially flip the laws of physics off and make them cry in the corner. Expansion charms for get pretty much unlimited space, special runes to make ships lighter and more efficient allow them to violate the laws of thermodynamics, tracking spells mean that hiding from him is useless... and, of course, the Deathly Hallows, which allow him to interrogate any dead person whose name he knows and be completely invisible.

* GoodCopBadCop: Obi-wan and Harry when interrogating a Trade Federation commander. Then HK joins in to make it Good Cop / Bad Cop / Psychotic Cop.

* AffluentAscetic: Sinube mentions that, as mercenary as Harry can be, his own quarters and private areas are relatively spartan unless he's sharing them with someone else.

* TheUnintelligible: At first Harry can only be understood by HK-47 as the only two languages he speaks are English (which hasn't been invented yet) and Parseltongue (which is also the language of a primitive species that other species can't learn). He later learns Basic from Anakin, though Harry notes that Anakin picked up English much faster.

** Harry places million dollar bounties on his enemies and buys large numbers of disposable ships for a job while also paying his crew millions on each job. Though in the last case, Harry's merely paying them the percentage they're owed; the jobs just happen to be exorbitantly profitable.

* CombatPragmatist: Harry, to the hilt. For example, when a Mandalorian challenges him to a duel (because he is carrying the Darksaber), Harry accepts, and as soon as the duel begins just Apparates behind the Mandalorian and kills him. When fighting Darth Maul, he realizes quickly that fighting him on a level playing field is a horrible idea, so he uses a curse that cuts all of Maul's fingers off and Side-Apparates with him off a building.

* IDidWhatIHadToDo: Jedi Sinube remarks that while the Jedi can afford to take the high road due to have the support of thousands of other Jedi and the support of billions, Harry never had such support and thus often resorts to violence as a force of habit from his younger days.

* LogicalWeakness: The Fidelius Charm may hide the location of Harry's new space station, but he still needs goods delivered there regularly. Obi-wan Kenobi infiltrates the station by hiding in a shipment of food being sent there.

* MundaneUtility: Harry uses Legilimency for both gambling and improving sex (by knowing what his partner does and doesn't like as he does it).

** Anakin didn't want to kill Dooku because he had a feeling that if he did so, he would have unleashed something terrible. Likewise, he feels his arm ''should'' have been cut off completely.

*** When it comes down to pilot a ship, Harry eventually realizes that it's better to let professionals handle the flying - while he can make all the checks, the professionals do it a lot better and in less time than he does.

* TemptingFate: In the middle of receiving a massage from Minister Schrieffer, they get a visitor at the door which she goes to answer. When Harry points out neither of them is dressed for polite company, she remarks that it's not the first time her friend has seen her in such a state and deliberately opens her robe before answering the door. Said visitor turns out to be Jedi Master Sinube rather than the expected company.

* JerkassFacade: Most see Harry as mercenary who always puts himself first and has no qualms about killing. In reality, he's still the hero he always has been, but has learned that ChronicHeroSyndrome causes people to take advantage of you.

* ChronicHeroSyndrome: {{Averted}}. After all the messes he got in during the books because of this characteristic of his, Harry decided that now he would not get involved in a mess if it did not benefit him somehow.

* HeroComplex: Averted by Harry, who learned the lesson after doing the heroics for free in the Magical World was not worth it.

* HollywoodTactics: Lampshaded. In Chapter 4 of ''Unsuspecting'', Qui-Gon muses on the various ways the Trade Federation force holding Naboo was militarily incompetent.

** Jabba the Hutt dies when Harry transforms his dais into salt - which causes Jabba intense pain.

* NoSell: HK-47 and [=R2D2=] get special electronics that prevent a RestrainingBolt from working on them.

''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/8501689/1/The-Havoc-side-of-the-Force The Havoc Side of the Force]]'' is a ''Franchise/HarryPotter[=/=]Franchise/StarWars'' crossover that has a post-Deathly Hallows Harry become a sort-of mercenary that works in the magical world, chasing dark wizards and witches and for the most part enjoying life where he can. When he catches up to Millicent Bulstrode, who has been possessed by Bellatrix Lestrange's [[SoulJar Horcrux]], she is carrying out a ritual, which prompts Harry to act before it is too late. However, the mix of the energies involved, an attempt by Millicent[=/=]Bellatrix to use a time turner and Harry activating a Portkey causes an explosion that punts Harry into Coruscant's Jedi Temple, during ''Film/ThePhantomMenace''.

Alone, carrying just his wits, the Deathly Hallows and a few items on himself, and in a place he cannot understand and that does not understand him - and with the hassle of all those gents with laser blades and bandits going after him - Harry has to fight, not just to survive, but to live. On the way, he will make several friends, even more enemies and quite a few headaches along the way.

(Also dormant)

* CannotTellALie: Inverted when someone violates the magical contract Harry has with a law firm. Instead of being unable to lie, they're incapable of telling the truth. According to Harry, he made the contract that way because it's far easier [[note]]Harry compares magically compelling someone to tell the truth versus compelling them to lie as the difference between hitting the exact center of a target versus hitting anywhere on the target except the exact center.[[/note]].

* TheDreaded: Besides his reputation back on his home planet, Harry quickly gains a lot of notoriety among certain circles in the wider galaxy. Upon hearing that Obi-wan's trials to become a Jedi Knight involved crossing paths with Harry, Yoda tells him to return immediately as his trials are supposed to be challenging, not suicidal.

* EurekaMoment: Qui-gon finally starts to understand Harry when he asks Obi-wan about his encounter with the man and why he'd send his regards. When Obi-wan's response details that he was simply polite and respectful, Qui-gon realizes that Harry's friendly to those who don't antagonize him and a cold-hearted mercenary to those who do.
* EveryoneHasStandards: Harry admits to being a mercenary, a thief, a killer and (depending on your definition) a kidnapper. However, he ''loathes'' slavery and will do anything he can to stop it: when he robs a Hutt as part of a job, he makes sure to free evey slave he finds to bring them to safety, and when he [[YouKillItYouBoughtIt takes over the Death Watch mercenary group]], he decides to use them as the spearpoint of his efforts to eradicate it from the entire galaxy.

* FalseFlagOperation: In the aftermath of the war, Harry and Ron started a business to trick Death Eater families into paying a boatload of cash to free their relatives from Azkaban, only for them to then re-capture them a few days later and restart the process. They also like to expedite the process by lacing the rations in the boltholes where they secure the escapees with potions to induce paranoia and disorientation.

* FishOutOfTemporalWater: Chapter 13 of ''Havoc'' reveals that the misfiring ritual didn't transport Harry to the future, as he initially assumed, but instead hurled into the very distance past.

* MundaneSolution: To Yoda's surprise, Obi-wan manages to retrieve a wanted man that's under Harry's protection simply by asking.

** Harry comes to learn that it's better to let professionals handle flying his ship. While he can do it, they're much better at it. He even notes they can run down the pre-flight checklist in a fraction of the time it takes him.
*** In general, Harry's tendency to work solo makes him ignore trained professionals until it's rubbed in his face that they can do a better job than he can. Part of his CharacterDevelopment is learning to defer to others on certain matters such as tactics, piloting, or security.

* NoSell: Certain spells against Darth Maul, who easily bats them aside with his lightsaber.
