Edited "The Han Solo Trilogy" entry. The events on Ylesia took place before the last Kessel Run, they were not caused by it.


* ''Literature/TheHanSoloTrilogy'': In ''Rebel Dawn'', Han is running a spice shipment for Jabba the Hutt when he spots an Imperial patrol ship. He dumps his cargo in space to avoid being caught with it when the Imps board, even making a note of the coordinates so he can come back later to get it, but when he returns, it's not there. This motivates Han to join [[spoiler:Bria Tharen's Rebel cell in attacking and looting the Ylesia spice-refining operation]] to get the money to pay Jabba for the lost cargo, [[spoiler:but Bria double-crosses the smugglers under orders from the Rebel Alliance leadership, who just learned of the Death Star and want the money to fund military operations against it]]. This leads to Jabba putting a price on Han's head, leading into ''Film/ANewHope''.

* It's believed that one of the motivations for Hamas attacking Israel and starting a war in 2023 was to derail secret talks about normalizing relations between Israel and Saudi Arabia. Several other Arab states[[note]]Egypt, Jordan, UAE, Bahrain, Morocco, Sudan[[/note]] had already normalized relations with Israel, showing that the issue of Palestine is no longer significant enough to them to dominate foreign policy. If even Saudi Arabia opened relations, the remaining holdouts would likely follow. This would be disastrous for Hamas, and would render them largely irrelevant on the global stage.

* ''Series/BabylonFive'': In the TV movie ''[[Recap/BabylonFiveFilm01InTheBeginning In the Beginning]]'', Londo tells the story of the Earth-Minbari war. During negotiations, Londo had a Centari cruiser sent to bomb a meeting between Captain Sheridan and the Minbari Lennon, brokered by the Narn. Londo did this because he thought that the Narns were planning an arms deal. Instead Londo's actions prolonged the war because both the humans and Minbari blamed each other.
