Legacy of the Force/YMMV

""My parents are terrorist scum, and that is why I have turned my back on them.""
 * Alas, Poor Scrappy: Jacen.
 * Alas, Poor Villain: Alema Rar. Her "Remember" to Jag.
 * Complete Monster: Caedus, by the time all is said and done.
 * Although going by what was revealed in the ending of Apocalypse (specifically, that he saw in the pool of knowledge that his daughter would be at Darth Krayt's side when he took over the throne of balance, and that he became Darth Caedus specifically so that, at the very least, he'd prevent the part of the future where his daughter would be aligned with Krayt), it is subverted and makes Caedus an extremely dark interpretation of both a Papa Wolf and a Well-Intentioned Extremist.
 * Crack Pairing: Go Squick, guys
 * Crowning Moment of Funny: Early and often, though it's to be expected since Joss Whedon Aaron Allston wrote the first book.
 * Crowning Moment of Heartwarming
 * Ending Fatigue: The last few chapters involving Mandalore in Revelation.
 * Fanon Discontinuity Especially among fanfic writers.
 * God Mode Sue: Jacen. Also Allana, his four-year-old daughter who in Tempest incapacitates Aurra Sing with her own syringe.
 * Idiot Plot: The heroes should have been able to catch on to and short circuit the villain's plot relatively quickly. It can also apply to Jacen himself, for thinking that listening to Lumiya in the first place was a good idea.
 * Mary Suetopia: Mandalorians. Karen Traviss. All everyone needs to know is that she has a Boba Fettish and thinks the Jedi thought of the clones as slaves.
 * Moral Event Horizon: and keeps right on going for Jacen
 * Motive Decay: Played straight with Jacen. Motive Decay is an occupational hazard with Sith Lords. Every Sith we've seen has degenerated into committing acts of sheer evil. This suggests that the trope in question is intrinsic to the Star Wars concept of The Dark Side. In the Star Wars galaxy, a Sith's motives decay themselves.
 * Narm

- Jacen Solo, Tempest


 * Rooting for The Empire: It is Star Wars.
 * Sequelitis (big time)
 * Ship-to-Ship Combat: Just pick someone, Jaina! Gah...
 * Spotlight-Stealing Squad Each of the authors had their own, as mentioned in the summary, but Traviss and the Mandalorians were particularly egregious.
 * Squick: Read this and CTRL+F "chapter ten"
