- Harsher in Hindsight: Snap's reunion with his Norra and Wedge becomes this after The Rise of Skywalker, as it's likely the last time they see each other. Not only does Snap die at the Battle of Exegol, he dies just before Wedge arrives with The Cavalry. Wedge survives the battle, but both he and Norra have outlived their own son (on top of the latter already losing her first husband to the Empire).
- Ho Yay: The lovingly detailed scene in which Finn can't tie his tie, so Poe does it for him, including smoothing the tie down before turning Finn so he can see himself in the mirror. Doesn't help that Finn makes it clear to Poe when he asks that he has no romantic interest in Rose or Rey, so he's very much single.
- Salvaged Story:
- Some viewers criticized Finn and Rose's romance in The Last Jedi for coming across as a case of Strangled by the Red String, as they'd never met prior to that film, only knew each other for a few days at most, and Finn himself appears confused more than anything when Rose kisses and declares her love for him. In this novel, Finn mentions that he and Rose talked about the kiss, decided it didn't really mean anything and that they're Better as Friends.
- It's revealed that the First Order has been actively hunting down the Resistance's allies, which offers an alternate explanation as to why some of them didn't show up on Crait, besides just not caring or losing hope.
- They Wasted a Perfectly Good Character: Rey, despite being the main protagonist of the Sequel Trilogy and this being the first time she's actively involved with the Resistance in its entirety, doesn't really do much of importance in the novel and gets a lot less page-time compared to Poe and Finn.
- Unexpected Character: While speculation that Wedge would return in this novel was frequent, nobody discussed the possibility of Rieekan, Orrimaarko, or Ransolm Casterfo returning.
