Line 1: {{work}} {{quote\| ''Peace over anger''~~<br />~~ ''Honor over hate''~~<br />~~ ''Strength over fear'' }} Line 8: Basically an extended prequel to ''[[The Phantom Menace]]'' (yes, a prequel to the prequel), it follows the adventures of Qui-Gon Jinn and his young apprentice Obi-Wan Kenobi. Don't be fooled, though; it's much better than it has to be. {{tropelist}} ~~----~~ ~~''This series provides examples of:''~~ * [[Adventure Towns]] * [[~~Always Chaotic~~Exclusively Evil]]: Subverted in book 1. One of the first Star Wars works to portray the Hutts in a positive light. * [[Arch Enemy]]: Xanatos to Qui-Gon. * [[Arson, Murder, and Admiration]]/[[Arson, Murder, and Lifesaving]]: How King Frane reacts to the news that his son, Taroon, had staged an attack on his planet in hopes of becoming heir in ''The Shattered Peace''. He promptly appoints the boy heir. Line 25 ⟶ 24: * [[Belligerent Sexual Tension]]: Taroon and Drenna in ''The Shattered Peace'', Den and Andra in ''The Day of Reckoning''. * [[Better to Die Than Be Killed]]: Xanatos pulls this on Qui-Gon out of spite, ranting about how he is denying him the chance to kill him. {{quote\| "I am your biggest failure. Live with that. And live with this!"}} * [[Big Bad]]: [[Corrupt Corporate Executive\|Xanatos]] for Books 1-8 and [[Mad Scientist\|Jenna Zan Arbor]] for 11-13. The last bit doesn't really have a clear villain. * [[Blue Eyes]]: Xanatos' are cold and frozen. Line 32 ⟶ 31: * [[Catch Phrase]]: Den: "Joke, right?" Guerra & Paxxi: "So/Just so/It is so." * [[Call Forward]] ([[Continuity Nod]]): In the Fight for Truth: {{quote\| "There is no [[That's No Moon\|explosive device]] powerful enough to [[A New Hope\|destroy a whole planet]]," Qui-Gon said.}} ** Qui-Gon's brief vision of Obi-Wan as an old man in a desert, with nothing for company except memories * [[The Chessmaster]]: Xanatos throughout the series; Tyron in book 10, ''The Shattered Peace'', who ruthlessly manipulates events to make his father pick him as heir over his brother. Line 38 ⟶ 37: * [[Corrupt Corporate Executive]]: In addition to being an ex-Jedi, Xanatos in the head of Offworld, a downright nasty mining corporation with its hands in slavery, environmental destruction, and illegal smuggling operations. And that's just before lunch. * [[The Corrupter]]: Xanatos to Bruck Chun and the entire planet of Telos. * [[Create Your Own Villain]]: So, the Jedi council has this problem kid, Xanatos. Too much anger and whatnot. And they decide that hey, we're not sure we can trust him, we need to put him to the test. So they send him and his master to intervene in a conflict where his ''dad'' is the [[Man Behind the Man]], and everyone knows it, in the hopes that he'll screw up and they can boot him out. Well as it turns out, the plan works a little too well. Xanatos [[Face Heel Turn~~\|Face Heel Turns~~]]s, his Master is forced to kill his father, and he swears bloody revenge on the Temple, going on to become a [[Corrupt Corporate Executive]] and [[Manipulative Bastard]] out for Jedi blood, who spreads slavery and death wherever he goes. [[Nice Job Breaking It, Hero\|Nice Job Breaking It Heroes]]. * [[Dark Action Girl]]: [[Bounty Hunter\|Ona Nobis]] * [[The Dark Side]] Line 105 ⟶ 104: [[Category:Literature]] [[Category:Star Wars Expanded Universe]] [[Category:Star Wars novels]]
