[[File:starwars-
A nine-book series set in the [[Star Wars Expanded Universe]], about eleven years after the ''[[New Jedi Order]]''. Written in trios by [[Aaron Allston]], Karen Traviss and Troy Denning. Opinions on this series are mixed, as you can see by the examples.
Line 25:
----
* [[Action Girl]]: Jaina Solo, though only at the very end
Line 78:
* [[Foe Yay]]: Ben and Tahiri.
* [[Freud Was Right]]: So let me get this straight. Jacen traumatizes Ben in so many ways, all the time with Luke's approval.
* [[Fridge Brilliance]]: So fridge-y that, after Jacen kills Ailyn Vel, not no one in the
* [[Gainax Ending]]: {{spoiler|Boba and Mirta can't return to Mandalore or they'll die, Daala's president (How?), and is Jacen redeemed or not?}} [[Word of God]] says the last one is open to interpretation.
* [[Genre Savvy]]: In ''Invincible'', Admiral Antilles becomes aware that he's too moral for the government he's working with, and soon after he formally hands his position over to a more willing puppet he will be assassinated. He knows that there are only two really viable times for that in the near future; very soon after he makes the resignation speech, or a week later at a formal event. He makes plans for assassination attempts directly after the speech, knowing that that would wrap his story up more neatly. And he's right.
* [[Getting Crap Past the Radar]]: Lumiya calling Alema Rar a "bugslut", for one, although that [[Squick|particular outburst]] is not entirely unfounded.
** The gay
* [[Go Seduce My Arch-Nemesis]]: {{spoiler|Tahiri tries to do this to Ben.}}
* [[Godwin's Law]]: Luke compares Omas to Palpatine at one point.
Line 90:
* [[Heroes Want Redheads]]: Apparently red is a popular hair color among Hapans, natural or not, and considering their culture...
** Both Luke's wife and his former [[Honey Trap]] are redheads.
* [[Hero Antagonist]]: Everything Jacen does is to prevent a civil war in which he and his uncle are on opposite sides, leading to a duel in which Luke ''always'' dies. At that point, Luke was the only thing keeping the
** If this troper recalls correctly, the reason Luke couldn't take Jacen out was not because he would die. Just the opposite; Jacen always died in Luke's visions. However, Luke always saw himself ending up as an [[Evil Overlord]] over the galaxy. This is likely due to two things; Luke killed Lumiya for something she didn't actually do, and Jacen had become a [[Complete Monster]] while Luke had turned a blind eye to it.
*** Different vision. In Jacen's vision, Luke died.
Line 118:
** Possible if the object remains in the wound, but very rare. This troper suspects a lightsaber won't do the trick.
*** <s> [[Ass Pull|Apparently]]</s> [[A Wizard Did It|Apparently]], being ridiculusly strong in the force and ''really'' pissed off helps...
**** I am wondering who are you talking about… If Lumiya, then
**** And if we're mentioning Kyle Katarn, well…on one side he only got a lightsaber through a lung (and caught a local infection, to boot). On the other side, he's [[Memetic Badass|Kyle]] ''[[Memetic Badass|Frickin']]'' [[Memetic Badass|Katarn]]!!!
* [[Not Quite Dead]]: {{spoiler|Alema Rar. Did you really think she was eaten in Dark Nest Trilogy? Not a chance}}
Line 141:
*** Welcome to Del Rey. They managed to make pedophilia the "good option" by having pedophilia…AND TORTURE! By default more evil. Or torture's the good option by having torture…AND PEDOPHILIA.
* [[Smug Snake]]: Caedus thinks he's a [[Magnificent Bastard]], and the reader seems to be supposed to agree with him- but what we see is a second-rate schemer patting himself on the back for things Sidious could have accomplished in his sleep)
** Niathal too… Nice job of controlling Jacen there Admiral. Really brought home when she turns against Caedus and is only able to persuade a third of the navy to follow
** Partially justified, as the previous books had made a point of showing how Jacen had put a LOT of time and effort into winning the loyalty of the common soldier.
*** Until he starts [[Bad Boss|snapping necks]] anyway...
