* [[Distant Finale]]: Among other things, serves as one for ''[[Knights of the Old Republic (video game)|Knights of the Old Republic]]'' series, finally clearing up loose ends like the "True Sith" {{spoiler|not to mention the fates of Revan, the Exile, and the original HK-47.}}

* [[Disney Villain Death]]: Enemies take fall damage proportionate to the length of the fall, blowing a difficult enemy off a tall cliff is a great way to end the fight quickly. However, Elite enemies in Flashpoints will respawn almost immediately after being "killed" this way.

* [[Distracted by the Sexy]]: [[Added Alliterative Appeal|Consular companion character]] Tharan Cedrax uses this with his "Deploy Holiday" ability. It causes his ''own'' companion, a sentient female hologram named Holiday, to materialize next to an enemy and distract them by being her usual flirty self. Now, a holographic ''anything'' popping into existence right next to you would probably throw off your concentration no matter what you were, but if you happened to find female humans attractive then your concentration would ''really'' be thrown off.

* [[Do a Barrel Roll]]: At any time during space combat, hitting the space-bar will do just this.

* [[Doomed by Canon]]: Alderaan, of course. In addition, the Sith Empire on Dromund Kaas will cease to exist long before Episode I since the era of the (old) Republic ends in Episode III.

* [[Limit Break]]: Heroic moments, which every class gets. Causes you to regain 2% of your total health every few seconds and immediately finishes the cooldown on certain [[Oh Crap]] abilities (usually your basic stun). Also comes with its own [[Theme Music Power-Up]].

* [[Limited Special Collectors Ultimate Edition]]: Two different ones: First, ''The Collector's Edition'' includes in-game items, a Statuette of Darth Malgus, and other items, [[Crack is Cheaper|costs $150]] . Second, the ''Digital Deluxe Edition'' costs a more reasonable $80, and has just 5 in-game items. In addition, every player who pre-ordered, even those who just ordered the vanilla version of the game, received a special color stone to turn their weapon's effect yellow with a black core, and up to five days of early acces to the game, depending on when they pre-ordered.

* [[Loads and Loads of Characters]]: To help put this in perspective: All eight player classes get at least five unique companion characters, and their own branching storyline, that lasts for [[Three Act Structure|three acts]]. Then, add all of the end-game content, twelve "world quest" story-lines, and any future content... [[Star Wars: The Old Republic/Characters|help with the character sheet is appreciated]].

* [[Lost Forever]]: As can be read in the blurb for the game, it was [[What Could Have Been|originally possible]] to get into situations like having your companion betray you, then [[Killed Off for Real|needing to kill them]]. But this [[Averted Trope|was removed]].
