  • Complete Monster: Vol. 9's "No Way Out": Countess Rajine is a vain energy vampire, desiring to maintain her youth and expand her power at the cost of innumerable lives. Capable of draining the life force from those around her and reducing them to zombies in her sway, Rajine subjected hundreds of innocents to this fate before being trapped on an isolated planet by a Jedi Knight. Enslaving, abusing, and eventually executing the Jedi's old droid out of petty spite, Rajine continues to lure in people from across the galaxy to kill them and create evermore members of her horrific army, planning to eventually escape her confinement and feed on the life of all beings she can.
  • Cult Classic: The series is out of print and was made for all-age readers, but some good action scenes, characters, and artwork and effective use of Genre Roulette make the series extremely popular with most people who read it. This has led to high hopes that it will get an ebook or re-release.
  • Ensemble Dark Horse: See here.
  • Growing the Beard: Volume 3, which is when the Fillbach brothers started illustrating more regularly and the series started doing four stories per book instead of three, is often viewed as being when the books start to really hit their stride in terms of pacing and artwork.
  • They Wasted a Perfectly Good Plot: "Salvaged" never reveals how and why the nervous salvager Hurd Coyle ends up helping a group of younglings who survived Order 66 Run for the Border.
  • What Do You Mean, It's for Kids?: There are plenty of light-hearted stories, and the books were marketed toward tweens, but there is also the occasional grim scene like a little boy being traumatized by witnessing Order 66, a serial killing energy vampire, a sadistic Separatist commander being entombed alive, and clone squads being nearly decimated as the result of a "Shaggy Dog" Story in addition to normal war violence.
