* MassHypnosis: One Imperial base is [[spoiler:stocked by people who were brainwashed on an individual, laborious basis. Luke Skywalker, unwilling to kill brainwashed enemies, actually manages to ''undo it'' en masse with a desperate JediMindTrick; the people have no idea who they are or what they're doing, but they don't belong to the BigBad anymore]].

* {{Foreshadowing}}: The main Imperial villain of the series get his hand on some [[Literature/JediAcademyTrilogy resonance torpedoes]] and lures the rebels and other Imperials into a trap with them.

* DyingAlone: [[spoiler:Ferus Olin]] is left mortally wounded by Darth Vader. Leia comes across him and holds his hand as he dies -- and he has a vision of a long-dead friend [[HoYay/StarWarsLegends and partner]] coming to him, and it's not until [[spoiler:Ferus]] sees Roan and feels him holding his hand that he is ready to go.
-->''"[[YouAreNotAlone Did you really think I would leave you here alone?]]"''
* EmotionSuppression: An Imperial has developed brainwashing techniques to create assassins (similarly to [[Literature/TalesOfTheBountyHunters Dengar]], though without surgery), and it's repeatedly said that these assassins are without any emotion at all, though they can convincingly [[CrocodileTears fake any]] while infiltrating on the way to a target. The best of them, X-7, finds while tracking Luke Skywalker that anger is returning to him.

* HeelFaceBrainwashing:
** A brainwashed Imperial assassin, X-7, has been trying to kill Luke Skywalker, but his continuing failures and time away from his master shakes the brainwashing -- not much, but enough that he's bothered by stray emotions and fragments of memory with no context to them. He goes rogue in order to search for his obliterated past -- the Rebels, aware of this, decide to set things up to convince him that he's the long-lost brother of one of them, in the hopes of turning him against the Empire. It's much milder than what was done to him in the first place, but still harsh, [[spoiler:and has very mixed results]]. The brother in question starts to suspect that [[AccidentalTruth X-7 actually is his long-lost brother]], then doubts it again -- [[spoiler:and then both of them end up dying with the truth of the matter left ambiguous]].
** In the next book, Luke Skywalker pulls off a much kinder example [[spoiler:on a base full of people who'd undergone similar brainwashing. He uses a desperate wide-scale JediMindTrick to ''undo'' the Imperial brainwashing, leaving it a base full of people who are confused and don't know who or where they are -- he can't restore the memories that have been lost -- but won't think and act as appendages of the BigBad anymore]].
* HoldingHands: Leia Organa holds Ferus Olin's hand [[spoiler:as he is dying, so he won't [[DyingAlone die alone]]. He has a vivid DyingDream and sees]] [[HoYay/StarWarsLegends Roan Lands]] in her place.
* SerendipitousSurvival: Mazi and his brothers survive the destruction of Alderaan because they'd convinced their parents to let them go to a sports tournament on Alderaan's neighboring planet Delaya and were just about to head home when the Death Star blew Alderaan up. Many Alderaanians on Delaya survived under similar circumstances.
* SpiritAdvisor: Obi-Wan appears several times to Ferus Olin to advise him. Maybe because Olin's already a Jedi, Obi-Wan can manifest more easily to him than to rookie Luke.
