* BeenThereShapedHistory: Similar to the ''ComicBook/TagAndBink'' stories, Bobbajo claims that his menagerie of animals were responsible for the destruction of the Death Star, sabotaging the weapons systems.

* FishOutOfTemporalWater: [[spoiler:Kix has been frozen for 56 years, since before the end of the Clone Wars. He's in deep shock when he finds out what happened during those years.]]

* ShoutOut: [[spoiler:The missing Kix awakens from cryostasis fifty-six years after being first frozen and is anguished to learn that everyone he knows is dead and he couldn't save them, which may be a reference to ''Film/{{Aliens}}'', where the missing Ripley was in cryostasis for fifty-''seven'' years and also had similar anguish in a deleted scene about not being able to see her deceased daughter again.]]
* UnexpectedCharacter: Nobody, in or out of universe, was expecting Count Dooku's treasure to be [[spoiler:the clone trooper Kix, who had followed up on fellow trooper Fives's warnings about a conspiracy against the Republic and learned about Palpatine's identity as a Sith Lord and plans for Order 66.]]

* WorthlessTreasureTwist: Since the ''Obrexta III'' was known to have been carrying a cargo of great value to Dooku, the richest man in the galaxy, at the time of its disappearance, Ithano and his crew are not expecting the treasure to be a HumanPopsicle [[spoiler:whose main value to Dooku at the time of his capture was the potential danger his knowledge of Order 66 and the clone control chips could pose to the Sith's plans, something that's obviously no longer important over fifty years after the end of the Clone Wars.]]

* DeadlyDustStorm: The south polar region of Penomah has ''magnetic'' dust storms.

* NoOneCouldSurviveThat: Ithano is last seen on a ship that is eaten by a sandworm and then explodes on an extremely inhospitable planet. Three weeks later he walks back into the bar which his crew frequents with the ''Obrexta III'''s memory core, which included the locations of every Separatist base and factory in the galaxy, including a few hidden ones ripe for plunder. All of the crew except for Quiggold is amazed, although he does ask his captain how he survived.

* SandWorm: Penomah has these, and they are massive and deadly.

When Sidion Ithano, better known as the Crimson Corsair, and his pirate crew pick up a distress signal from a crashed Separatist vessel, the ''Providence''-class dreadnaught ''Obrexta III'', that has lain dormant on the inhospitable world Penomah for over half a century, they discover that it is a missing ship that was said to contain a cargo of great value to Count Dooku. As they set off to claim the prize, they will have to contend with other gangs that also overheard the signal, along with deadly storms, sandworms, and newly reactivated battle droids that guard the mysterious treasure.

Here you'll find six stories for kids about just some of the amazing aliens who appear in the smash-hit movie ''Star Wars: The Force Awakens''.

* BeenThereShapedHistory: Similar to the Tag and Bink stories, Bobbajo claims that his menagerie of animals were responsible for the destruction of the Death Star, sabotaging the weapons systems.

* AFatherToHisMen: Ithano's crew are loyal enough to him that they can understand his orders without him needing to speak. He was also willing to stay behind on a doomed ship when there, weren't enough escape pods for his whole crew to escape in.

When Sidion Ithano, better known as the Crimson Corsair, and his pirate crew pick up a distress signal from a crashed Separatist vessel, the ''Providence''-class dreadnaught ''Obrexta III'', that has lain dormant on the inhospitable world Penomah for half-a-century, they discover that it is a missing ship that was said to contain a cargo of great value to Count Dooku.

!!This short story contains the following tropes:
* AscendedExtra: Less so than the other stories in the collection, as Ithano and Quiggold actually have a small role in ''The Force Awakens'' when [[spoiler:Finn almost joins their crew in order to get as far away from the First Order as possible]].

* KnowWhenToFoldEm: The Ishi Tib member realizing he just pissed off the crew with what seem like a wild goose chase tries to pulls this and run away, unfortunately he ran into a group of reactivated super battle droid and was shot to death.

* TheQuietOne: Ithano rarely speaks, with his crew knowing him well enough that he often does not need to give them orders or simple hand gestures being enough to convey his meaning.
* UnexpectedCharacter: Nobody, in or out of universe, was expecting Count Dooku's treasure to be [[spoiler:the clone trooper Kix, who had followed up on fellow trooper Fives warnings about a conspiracy against the Republic and learned about Palpatine's identity as a Sith Lord and plans for Order 66.]]

!!This short story contains the following tropes:

* BodyHorror: Oh big time, specimen nine had a kubaz snout, gran three eyestalks and human eyes on the torso. (And that only listing some of the things Thromba and Laparo did to that poor thing.)
* LaserGuidedKarma: Ryn Biggleston got this big time after betraying/killing her former partner Beelee Amdas. Not only did Beelee had enough to upload all the crime Ryn did to the holonet (Netting her a big bounty) when she went to Thromba and Laparo for total body surgery, they kept her word and change her face from the sixth most wanted, they didn't tell her they gave her the body of the seventh most wanted. The body of the late Bedee Amdas.
* ScaryTeeth: Their furry appearance hides this, but as Frigosian, Thromba and Laparo have large mouth filled with dagger-like teeth.
* ThereIsNoKillLikeOverkill: Ryn not only betray her partner, but knowing about how Balosar are immune to all known poison in the galaxy found one of the few unknown poison to affect Belee species, finally setting the ship to explode.
