Line 17:
* [[Deus Exit Machina]]: Luke.
* [[Foregone Conclusion]]: Anybody reading the trilogy today knows that Luke's search for his mother really is a [[Rule of Three|wild bantha chase]] from the moment her supposed name is revealed, but the books were written in 1996.
* [[The Greatest Story Never Told]]: After three books of waiting for a chance, {{spoiler|Plat Mallar}} finally gets to participate in the final battle, and [[Heroic Sacrifice|saves a New Republic cruiser from destruction]] by [[Ramming Always Works|ramming]] an enemy bomber. However, he'd used a starfighter belonging to the cruiser's captain, so no one knows it was he who did it.
* [[In My Language, That Sounds Like...]]: Inverted; Etahn A'baht's subordinates nickname him "Eating-A-Boat".

* [[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These books attempt to move on from the status quo by suggesting technological evolution, saying X-wings have become outdated and even Luke now flies an E-wing, and introducing a whole host of new ships.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.
