** Lando also pretty well describes this trope, telling the kids that if someone's acting out of character they'd better pause and pay attention.

He's BackForTheFinale in the final book, but only long enough to provide them with the coordinates of a planet where he thinks they can hide out from the Empire for a while: Dagobah.

QuicksandSucks: ''Eaten Alive''.Alive'', though it's not ''quicksand'', exactly. [[spoiler: It's the living planet sucking people down.]]



%%* SpookySilentLibrary: ''Ghost of the Jedi''.
* StrangerSafety: Force-Sensitive Tash Arranda gets feelings around some people. Some of the people she meets, she just feels like she can trust, though sometimes she has to struggle with whether she should or not. Most of these people are the [[HeroOfAnotherStory Heroes of Other Stories]], like the Heroes of Yavin, Wedge Antilles, Lando Calrissian et cetera. It gets to the point where her companions just sort of shrug and assume anyone she likes will be helpful and valorous. However, she can't always sense if someone ''isn't'' trustworthy, so if they are a BitchInSheepsClothing she will [[HorribleJudgeOfCharacter assume the best]], which her companions ''also'' fall afoul of.

* GoodShapeshiftingEvilShapeshifting: Uncle Hoole and Borborygmus Gog are both Shi'ido shapeshifters, but though their secretive natures both inspire mistrust in the Arranda siblings, their morality is ultimately revealed by how they use their powers. Hoole shapeshifts for utility and combat, almost never assumes the identity of another sentient being, and often wraps up each novel by [[BigDamnHeroes using his powers to rescue the Arrandas]]; for good measure, he prefers using relatively benign forms like Wookies. By contrast, Gog firmly establishes himself as a ShapeshiftingTrickster by constantly assuming pre-existing identities, playing his enemies against each other rather than getting directly involved in the conflict.

On her deathbed, the expedition leader confesses that the only way they could feed the children was by feeding them the bodies of the dead.]]



* BadassBookworm: Hoole is a stoic and cautious anthropologist known for producing numerous first-hand accounts of various planets and species, and has dabbled in other fields of science over the course of his career. However, his ability to shapeshift makes him easily the most dangerous of the main characters in combat; in most of the books, once he finally gets directly involved in the action, the tide turns dramatically in the heroes' favor.

* GooglingTheNewAcquaintance: Tash meets a man [[YouHaveToBelieveMe who everyone agrees is crazy]]. She's told he's the sole survivor of a ComingInHot situation, his mind snapped, and if he leaves [[IDontLikeTheSoundOfThatPlace D'vouran]] he'll be apprehended by the authorities. She accesses the Holonet to look up records on him and finds that they match what she's been told, but notices a program attached to the records that alerts someone that she's accessed them, and naturally Tash finds this suspicious.
