Dark Rendezvous: Difference between revisions

* [[Foreshadowing]]: Common in prequel-era books. Obi-Wan knows Anakin has someone back on Coruscant and covers for him, though he knows Anakin won't thank him for it later. Ventress tells the Count that Sidious will kill him when he's not useful anymore. Master Maruk, saddled with Scout as a Padawan, thinks that she's incredibly brave and determined but will probably be dead in six months - the book is set exactly six months before [[Revenge of the Sith]].

** Ironically, Scout does survive Order 66, getting rescued by the [[Proud Warrior Race Guy|Mandalorians]].

* [[The Greatest Story Never Told]]:

{{quote| {{spoiler|"Nobody would ever know how close Jai had come to giving in to the Dark Side. Nobody but Maks would ever know he had resisted at the end. In a few minutes they would both be dead, and to the universe, his choice would make no difference at all. To Jai Maruk, it meant everything. For the next thirty seconds he fought more beautifully than he had in his life, and when Asajj finally cut him down, he was smiling.}}}}

* [[Psychic Dreams for Everyone]]: Well, for Whie Malreaux, anyway. They're described as [[Nightmare Fuel]] - while he's dreaming, he's stuck in his future-self's head, and says it's like being buried alive in his own body. Sometimes the panic is strong enough to wake him up.

* [[Refuge in Audacity]]: Invoked by Scout, who makes up for her lack of strength in the Force by doing things her opponents don't expect, such as {{spoiler|grabbing their (training) lightsaber by the blade.}}

* [[Tear Jerker]]: The scene where {{spoiler|Master Maruk}} dies.

* [[Weak but Skilled]]: Scout ''is'' this trope.
