** For example, in describing a particular series of overly-chatty droid, one of the commentators in ''[[Star Wars]] Saga Edition'''s ''Scavenger's Guide to Droids'', the supervisor droid who has worked with a wide variety of model, casually notes that she had to rip out its vocoder to get it to shut up. She also comments on how a particular droid of another model that failed its master would have been turned inside out by her. This is explained if you paid attention to the text and saw that she was an EV-series droid, a supervisor droid model detailed in the book, described as having a number of units accidentally getting a torture droid's motivator installed. (The head of Jabba's droid retinue in ''[[Return of the Jedi]]'' was an EV-series droid.)

** The West End Games' ''Imperial Sourcebook'' has a bit in the fluff describing the myriad problems that occurred in getting the first Star Destroyers built. "The Navy loved it, of course, and through a combination of bribes, political pressure, and a rash of mysteriously-crushed tracheas, it slowly brought others into line."
