* BarefootLoon: In Holdo's story "The Bridge", [[DoesNotLikeShoes one can see that she has a penchant for going barefoot onboard spaceships]]. Though she acts seriously and rationally throughout the story, this detail is meant to remind us [[CloudCuckoolander how quirky]] [[BunnyEarsLawyer she actually is]] (something that is clearly demonstrated in ''Literature/LeiaPrincessOfAlderaan'').

** Hux's treatment of Bylsma; after he helps them contact the First Order for rescue [[spoiler: Hux has his pet norwoods killed and [[CruelMercy only spares him]] so that he can use his planet as target practice for Starkiller Base, knowing that Bylsma is from [[EarthShatteringKaboom Alderaan]]]]. Hux gains absolutely nothing from doing this; in fact, he straight up says he wants to do it because [[ItAmusedMe "It will amuse me."]]

'''''Franchise/StarWars: Age of Resistance''''' is a 2019 Creator/MarvelComics series set in the ''Franchise/StarWarsExpandedUniverse'' written by Tom Taylor.

* BestServedCold: Hux takes the opportunity to execute Admiral Brooks for the abuse he heaped upon him as a child after one of the radar technicians under Brooks' command sabotaged Hux's shuttle.

* CallForward: In Poe's issue, the commander ([[spoiler:Holdo]]) of the ship Poe's squadron is chasing fakes communications issues to distract and delay him. Poe would later use this same tactic on General Hux at the start of ''Film/TheLastJedi''.
