* EurekaMoment: While working with Cal Omas to reform the Jedi Council in ''Destiny's Way'', Luke has a realization about the old Order and their relationship with the Old Republic -- or more specifically, the Supreme Chancellor. Because the old Order was insular and secretive, their primary link to the world outside the Temple was the Supreme Chancellor. While this arrangement benefited both parties, it was also a double-edged lightsaber. Once a malevolent figure like Palpatine got into the Chancellor's Office and became that link, it was game over; Palpatine was able to cut off, isolate, and destroy the old Jedi. This makes Luke realize the new Council must never

* MortonsFork: The Peace Brigade ironically find themselves in this situation by the later stages of the war. By this point, the galaxy at large finally understands and accepts collaboration or cutting deals with the Vong is a fool's bargain; they've broken their word too many times to trust any more promises of peace or mercy. So the Brigade now has no choice, but to remain allied with the Vong to protect themselves from the Galactic Alliance (who will be coming for all their heads should they win the war). But it's ''not'' an alliance of equals, because the Vong are now using them as cannon fodder (and will have no more use for the Brigade if they win the war). Either way, the Peace Brigrade loses.
