* CultureClash: The various Force faiths on Jedha are in a fragile peace at best, many of them don't take a liking to Jedi, and some of the [[NotSoOmniscientCouncilOfBickering Congregation]] members are incredibly hostile to faiths that even ''used to'' practice the Dark Side. And that's without mentioning that the [[AntiMagicalFaction Path of the Open Hand]] is moving in on Jedha.

* PoliceAreUseless: In Issue 3, it's revealed that Tey Sirrek used to be a Guardian of the Whills, but left them when he realized they were little more than glorified security guards for the Kyber Temple and tend to be rather apathetic regarding injustices in the holy city. In the present, they not only turn a blind to some of the more dangerous Force cults (like the Path of the Open Hand, which is actively peddling anti-Jedi sentiment), someone manages to sneak into the Kyber Temple without them noticing, stealing an artifact, and planting a bomb.



* TouchOfDeath: Tey Sirrek uses a move that is supposedly Morichro -- also known by the trope -- against Vildar in the first issue, seemingly killing him in the first issue by stopping his heart. However, the second issue shows that not only Vildar is still alive, what Tey actually used was just a strong Sephi pheromone and not an ancient Force technique.

Vildar Mac is a Jedi who has recurring nightmares of his past. In the time before the Great Disaster, he's been sent to the world of Jedha, once a stronghold of Jedi teachings, where a convocation of Force users is being held.
