Line 92:
* [[Boisterous Bruiser]]: Plourr is a rare female example.
* [[Book Safe]]: During his escape from the ''Lusankya'', Corran Horn discovers a blaster hidden in the purported casing of ''The Complete History of Corvis Minor'', in a reference to ''[[The Thrawn Trilogy]]''.
* [[Break the Haughty]]: Realizing Corran Horn's self centered nature and inability to work as a team, Wedge engineers a training exercise so Corran scores the lowest by far, confusing an enraging him before revealing his run was actually feeding the team valuable intelligence that allows them to ''all'' do better than any one member could do on their own. The lesson works.
* [[Brick Joke]]: The series in general is fond of them. Some even span entirely separate series. For example, in ''Wraith Squadron'' Kell tells off Grinder for calling him "Demolition Boy" ("That's 'Demolition Boy Sir'") while by the time of the New Jedi Order books the Wraiths are using nicknames of this type as standard code names (Face is "Poster Boy", Kell is "Explosions Boy", Bhindi is "Circuitry Girl").
* [[Call a Rabbit a Smeerp]]: As the books deal with everyday life more than most EU books, we get a lot of [[Star Wars]] terms for items. For example, refrigerators are 'conservators' and bathrooms are 'refreshers'.
