Line 20:
* [[In My Language That Sounds Like]]: Inverted; Etahn A'baht's subordinates nickname him "Eating-A-Boat".
* [[Last of His Kind]]: Plat Mallar is the only known survivor from Polneye, the largest of the worlds that fell victim to the Yevethan Genocide and the only one able to put up a fight, but still utterly annihilated.
* [[Luke, I Am Your Father]]: Replace father with mother, and deconstruct. {{spoiler|Nashira doesn't exist.}}
* [[Master Race]]: The Yevetha.
* [[Mauve Shirt]]: McDowell loves to do this with his soldiers, particularly Tuketu and Skids, the trilogy's equivalent of Wedge.
Line 31:
* [[Scary Dogmatic Aliens]]: The SWEU tends to have three broad categories which enemies fall into: 1) Imperials, 2) Sith, and 3) evil alien hordes. Guess which one this is.
* [[Single Gender Race]]: A [[Added Alliterative Appeal|single-sex sect]], subverted because they allow men in.
* [[Slave Race]]: Tarkin enslaved the Yevetha. On top of destroying Alderaan and [[Arson, Murder, and Jaywalking|cheating on his wife]].
* [[Spheroid Dropship]]: The Yevetha's thrustships are spherical, based on the surface area argument quoted on the trope page.
* [[Status Quo Is God]]: These books attempt to move on from the status quo by suggesting technological evolution, saying X-wings have become outdated and even Luke now flies an E-wing, and introducing a whole host of new ships. This is ignored by later books, though there are sometimes justifications used, like an upgraded model of X-wing being produced so it regains supremacy.
* [[Villain With Good Publicity]]: Nil Spaar manages to maintain this for a while.
* [["Well Done, Son" Guy]]: Chewbacca's son Lumpy accompanies the crew of the Millennium Falcon so he can prove himself to his father.
* [[X Days Since]]: The Republic has a counter saying how many days the galaxy has been at peace. In a poignant scene, they are ordered to take it down when the fight with the Yevetha begins. This doesn't fit with the later timescale of the [[Expanded Universe]], but it's a nice idea.
