* [[Memetic Mutation]]: While the series isn't often well-remembered (and if it is, not exactly fondly), when Wookieepedia compiled a list of the goofiest things ever to appear in the Exanded Universe, one of the most popular inclusions was "[[Card Carrying Villain|the villainy of Trioculus and Hissa]]."

* [[Rescued From the Scrappy Heap]]: What several EU writers have since attempted to do with the events and characters of the series, some quite successfully (as in the case of the Prophets of the Dark Side, given a full treatment in [[Wizards of the Coast]]'s ''Dark Side Companion'').
