History TearJerker / StarWarsVisions

* The Empire takes an entire village of people - including ''children - and forces them to mine for khyber crystals without any machines or aid, torturing those who fall behind in their work. They are implied to be down there for months or years, long enough for them to put together a makeshift village in the titular massive Pit and for an entire city to be built on the backs of their labor. When the work is done and the crystals are mined, the miners realize that the Empire has ''also'' not left them any means of getting back up - instead, the Empire just packs up and leaves, dooming the entire population - again, including children - to suffer down their forever in anguish and despair.
* The story follows a young man who believes that if others knew what happened to his people they would rise up and help, despite everyone else in the Pit being cynical about others being willing to care. Despite this he manages to painstakingly climb hundred of feet out and head to the city to plea for assistance. The story seems to be setting up for a tragic twist where the city people don't help him after all, but it turns out his plea ''works.'' He manages to get support and attention... and then the Empire catches him. He's hit with a stun shot, and wakes up to find himself dangling back over the pit about to be dropped to his death - and no one swoops in the save him at the last minute. He dies, and though his actions do inspire the village to call for help and the city people to save them eventually, all they can do for him is cover his body up to the children won't see.

* When Lop first met Yasaburo and Ochō though the two argued they clearly had a very close relationship. Seven years later their differing views on how The Empire will impact their world has caused a rift between father and daughter so great that they must be restrained when arguing.

* The deterioration of Lop and Ochō's relationship. Once they were the best of sisters, but now thanks to the Empire, they are now the worst of enemies.

** This also shows the tragedy inherent in TheDarkSideWillMakeYouForget; Masago and Tsubaki together ''actually succeed'' in bringing Misa back to life... but having already fallen, Tsubaki doesn't even spare an aside glance her way and marches past her to join his new master. It's a sad realization that even if Palpatine did help Anakin save Padme's life, it's well possible that he would have abandoned her and their children to continue being Darth Vader.

* Daal's realization at what her dreams and desires have led her to, smiling with tears streaming down her face she repeats to her terrified friends what she was told earlier to take any opportunity to leave she can, as the doors to the ship close, the last we see of Daal is a terrified crying child who has no idea the terrible future she has in store as a Sith Apprentice.

* While she doesn't have it as bad as some other characters in the anthology, Kara's whole situation is still pretty sad. She is an innocent child, who over the course of a single day, had the life she'd known cruelly ripped away from her and has a heavy burden that no child should bear, placed on her shoulders. It would BreakTheCutie if she wasn't such a PluckyGirl.

* When Lop first met Yasaburo and Ochō though the two argued they clearly had a very close relationship. Seven years later their differing views on how The Empire will impact their world has caused a rift between father and daughter so great that they need to be restrained when arguing.

* The Elder's fate is rather pitiful. His best years are long behind him and he was likely seeking worthy opponents for the desire to [[TheLastDance go out in a grand final duel]] than to wither away and die of old age. Even Tajin somberly remarks that for all the Elder's power, he was ultimately done in by the inevitable decline of age and that all the power in the world is fleeting as one grows older. It's a harsh reality for those who were once full of energy and vitality find it leaving them as they progress into the final stages of life.

* The Jedi Tsubaki falls into despair upon seeing that one of the mooks he had effortlessly sliced down was a brainwashed Misa, just as he had foreseen in the vision that tormented his mind. Desperate to bring her back to life, he accepts Masago's offer to join her in exchange for reviving Misa, and falls to the dark side. The situation is essentially the tragic fall of Anakin Skywalker in ''Revenge of the Sith'' [[HistoryRepeats all over again]].

** This also shows the tragedy inherit in TheDarkSideWillMakeYouForget; Masago and Tsubaki together ''actually succeed'' in bringing Misa back to life... but having already fallen, Tsubaki doesn't even spare an aside glance her way and marches past her to join his new master. It's a sad realization that even if Palpatine did help Anakin save Padme's life, it's well possible that he would have abandoned her and their children to continue being Darth Vader.
