Line 99:
** The Jedi Consular's storyline involves meetings with a number of Jedi Masters from the Knights of The Old Republic series, {{spoiler|including Bastilla Shan herself!}}
* [[Call Forward]]:
** [https://web.archive.org/web/20120103082230/http://www.torhead.com/mission/dJRF2Ek#areas "The Killiks, an sentient insect-like race native to Alderaan,] [[Dark Nest Trilogy|have been infesting House Thul"]]
* [[The Chessmaster]]: The Sith Emperor.
* [[Chainmail Bikini]]: Usually [[Averted Trope|Averted]], but Leia's iconic metal dancer's outfit is available for purchase for both factions, and it does function as moddable light armor. Meaning Inquisitors and Consulars can use it as effective combat gear.
Line 538:
* [[Rooting for the Empire]]: Although the game presents the possibility of good and evil characters in both factions, there is still a group of people on the official forums that believe the Sith to be better than the Jedi because they believe the Jedi to be too [[Emotions vs. Stoicism|strict]] and [[Knight Templar|hypocritical]], even though the same could be said about the Sith. This has lead to debates about the Light Side and the Dark Side that are treated like [[Serious Business|serious philosophical arguments]].
** The novel "Fatal Alliance" revealed one truth about the Sith of this era. As some know, the Jedi policy of taking children from their families for training was controversial both in-universe and in fandom. Well, the Sith of this era do the same. Such Sith basically lose their claim of being the way of "free" Force-users and aren't better than the Jedi Order in restricting every born Force-sensitive. Except it's lethal.
** Of course, there are many people who root for the empire for completely unrelated reasons, [[Invoked Trope|like]] [[Evil Is Cool|evil being cool]], [[Spikes of Villainy|their]] [[Sensible Heroes, Skimpy Villains|various]] [[Power Crystal|fashions]], sexy [[Evil Brit]] accents, the [[Comedic Sociopathy|pleasure]] of getting to wield [[Agony Beam|Force Lightning]] both [[Shock and Awe|inside]] and [[Electric Torture|outside]] of combat, because all of their class story-lines [[Playing with a Trope|play with]] or [[Subverted Trope|Subvert]] [[The Hero]] archetype that RPG's always force players into, and just because they like the Imperial companions.

*** There's also the fact that one can play a [[Dark Is Not Evil|light-side Imperial or Sith]], which many find more interesting than playing a good guy who belongs to the faction where you'd expect to find them.
** There is a strong argument that most of what is wrong with the Empire lies with the Sith. Thirty minutes on Ord Mantell is usually enough to nip any Good Guy/Bad Guy discussions in the bud.
Line 644:
* [[Unflinching Faith in the Brakes]]: Malgus doesn't even bother looking when {{spoiler|the starship crash lands inches behind him}}. Though as a Sith, it is reasonable to assume he'd sense if it was going to actually strike him anyways.
* [[Ugly Guy, Hot Wife]]: {{spoiler|Believe it or not, Darth Malgus, that cool Sith from the "Deceived" trailer is married to that blue Twi'lek that was with him! In all fairness, a lot of his current physical deformities are recent battle scars, and he isn't bad looking prior.}}
* [[Unexpected Gameplay Change]]: You'll find yourself playing ''[[Star Fox (series)|Star FOX]]'' [https://web.archive.org/web/20140718045153/http://www.gamestooge.com/2010/08/18/gamescom-10-the-old-republic-space-combat/ during space combat sequences]. They aren't mandatory, but they do give you [[Experience Points]].
* [[Unreliable Narrator]]: The History videos are explicitly pieced together from incomplete information, and some things are pure supposition on the narrator's part. This keeps things like Revan's true motives and ultimate fate nice and vague for in-game development.
* [[Vendor Trash]]: Very common. The item descriptions make no attempt to hide it either. Players can, however, send a companion on a one-minute mission to sell these to a vendor.
