* GadgeteerGenius: Originally a low level technician on Helzen, in the face of imminent destruction Keven Tarr proves to be an invaluable asset to the salvation of his system when he - in a manner of ''minutes'' - devises an unprecedented algorithm that can predict where the incoming fragments will impact before they do, allowing first responders to coordinate where they were previously running blind. Later, he becomes a key part of the initiative to stop the Emergences by inventing a massive network that will do the same across ''the entire Outer Rim'' - especially impressive as he was predicting what was thought to be a scientific impossibility at the time. This results in the Republic and the Jedi both taking an interest in him personally, in what he marvels is almost a rags to riches story.

* MuggingTheMonster: Kassav uses the information provided by Marchion Ro to extort the Eriadu system. Not only does [[spoiler:he fail to save them after he gets his money]], but then he does some research and discovers that the Eradians are a ProudWarriorRace considered only a couple steps less crazy than the Mandalorians. They broadcast his name, face, and ship details across the galaxy, lend the Republic a large fleet to personally hunt him down, and [[spoiler:their "soft" governor ends up killing him herself rather than accept his surrender]].

* SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome: Jedi can use the Force to leap great distances and soften their landings, allowing them to survive what would otherwise be [[NotTheFallThatKillsYou a lethal drop]]. However, during the Hetzal crisis, one Jedi, Rah Barocci, gets exhausted from trying to use the Force to keep a fast-moving liquid-tibanna tank from flying into Hetzal's largest sun and causing a supernova, and he dies from falling off of a twenty-story tower because he was too tired to break his fall.

* ForbiddenLove: Apparently there's a genre of in-universe romance which focuses on Jedi falling in love and being tragically forced apart by their oaths. It's mentioned near the end that younglings and Padawans often become... close when they are young, but they are expected to set these feelings aside as they grow older.

It's mentioned near the end that younglings and Padawans often become... close when they are young, but they are expected to set these feelings aside as they grow older. More specifically this applies to Avar and Elzar who feel a very strong connection towards each other that borders on the romantic that they both know they should leave in the past.

Batman grabs a gun isn't just "This character grabs a weapon different from what they usually use." it is for a character breaking their own rules-for Batman using a gun is directly against his personal code. Loden using the refitted laser in no way applies.


* BatmanGrabsAGun: Loden takes an anti-ship laser cannon into a battle against a group of Nihil and blows up their ship with it.

** Two of the political efforts made towards rebuilding after the disaster include creating economic incentives towards droid construction and lessening the taxation of trade routes in the affected areas, both of which play into the conflict in the Prequels.

* BewareTheNiceOnes: When Porter hears the Nihil are attacking a local homestead:
--> ''Perhaps for the first time, Bell looked at the man and no longer saw the joking, bearded Ikkurkki chef he knew so well, inventor of the Nine-Egg Stew. Instead, he saw the Jedi they once called the Blade of Bardotta.



* TheElitesJumpShip: Bell and Loden find a rich family and their guards loading up a massive starship with luxuries rather than taking refugees aboard and quickly intimidate them into stopping this.
--> '''Chief Guard:''' What do you think you're going to do, Jedi? Cut right through the walls with your lightsaber? Fight off every one of us?
--> '''Loden:''' [[BadassBoast Sure. Why not?]]



* HumbleHero: Burryaga is uncomfortable with being singled out to survivors of the ''Legacy Run'' as the one who kept the ship fragments they were on from being destroyed.
* IWillPunishYourFriendForYourFailure: After a captured [[spoiler: Loden]] lashes out against Marchion with telekinesis, Marchion threatens to murder a prisoner if he does it again.
