The Truce at Bakura: Difference between revisions

Tropes used in this work include:

 

* [[Author Appeal]]: Kathy Tyers was raised in a fundamentalist background, so she knows about religious conflicts, such as the one between Luke and Gaeriel.

* [[Balance Between Good and Evil]]: Gaeri's religion deals with this primarily. They believe that Force-users are evil because they aggregate too much power. (With Palpatine and Vader as examples, the [[Straw Man Has a Point]].)

* [[Distressed Damsel|Distressed Pilot]]: ...Wedge has to be saved by Luke a lot, doesn't he?

* [[Enemy Mine]]: the whole point of the [[Title Drop|Truce at Bakura]] is an Imperial world being threatened by alien invaders.

* [[Fantastic Racism]]:

** Bakurans hate all nonhumans, mistaking Mon Calamari for Ssi-ruuk infiltrators.

* [[Heel Face Revolving Door]]: From hating the Rebels to mistrusting them but working together to betraying them.

* [[Mismatched Eyes]]: Gaeriel has one green eye and one brown eye.

* [[Reality Ensues]]: as this novel starts about 24 hours after ''[[Return of the Jedi]]'' ends, it's the first story to deal with Han and Leia's [[Relationship Upgrade]]. The road is bumpy.

* [[Reptiles Are Abhorrent]]: The Ssi-ruuk.

* [[Scary Dogmatic Aliens]]: The Ssi-ruuk are the first major example of this in the EU- but what's ''really'' scary is that horrible as they are, they ''aren't'' the [[New Jedi Order|scariest or most dogmatic...]]

* [[Space Is Cold]]: When Wedge is hanging in space with his hand crushed, he's suffering from both blood loss and advancing hypothermia/frostbite. Of course, he ''was'' out there for some time. Long enough for Luke to dress, jump in his X-Wing, and get into orbit, at least.

* [["Well Done, Son" Guy|Well Done Daughter Girl]]: Inverted. Leia is visited by her father's spirit. She's horrified. He wants her forgiveness. She won't give it.
