The StarWarsExpandedUniverse has been doing this ''a lot'' [[DarkerAndEdgier ever since Del Rey took over]].

* The ''NewJediOrder'', especially with a device called the Embrace of Pain. Also with [[TheresNoKillLikeOverkill Chewie's death]]. [[HeroicRROD And Anakin's.]]
* The ''Literature/DarkNestTrilogy'' has Jacen MindRape Ta'a Chume in order to keep his family safe.
* ''Literature/LegacyOfTheForce''. The Embrace of Pain is back, along with evil Jacen (now Darth Caedus). Ben's tortured and forced to watch someone close to him die.
** Speaking of Ben, there's a really horrid scene that involves Tahiri playing TheVamp to the poor boy. When he refuses her advances, she then tortures his soldier buddy to death ''in front of him''.
* ''LukeSkywalkerAndTheShadowsOfMindor''. Why are Cronal's stormtroopers' armor black? Hint: That's not paint. Also, Cronal controls the rocks of the planet, so he can [[AndIMustScream create a prison for Luke]]. He then [[MindRape forces]] Luke to see the death of the universe; Luke [[GoMadFromTheRevelation doesn't take it well]]. Throw in {{Body Surf}}ing, and you're looking at some serious horror, punctuated by {{Take That}}s to the fanboys.
* The cavern-monster scene from ''Traitor''.
* Two titles: ''Literature/DeathTroopers'' and ''Literature/RedHarvest''. That is all.
* The ''Literature/TalesFromJabba'sPalace'' anthology has the story, "Of the Day's Annoyances: Bib Fortuna's Tale in which Jabba's former majordomo has been chosen by the B'omarr monks for "enlightenment" surgery. Picture Bib, locked in the palace, sitting in the dark, hearing the slow, creaking approach of a surgeon's cart...

* The ''Literature/DarkNestTrilogy'' has Jacen MindRape Ta'a Chume so that his family is safe. Yes, the hero of the book doing MindRape. Which brings us to...
* ''Literature/LegacyOfTheForce''. The Embrace of Pain is back, along with Jacen's own Hitler Youth. Ben is tortured, [[{{shotacon}} molested]], and forced to watch someone close to him die. He also almost engages in cannibalism. Actually, it starts to look a lot like ''Anime/NeonGenesisEvangelion'', complete with GainaxEnding.
* ''LukeSkywalkerAndTheShadowsOfMindor''. Why is Cronal's stormtroopers' armor black? Hint: That's not paint. Also, Cronal controls the rocks of the planet, so he can [[AndIMustScream create a prison for Luke]]. He then [[MindRape forces]] Luke to see the heat death of the universe; Luke [[GoMadFromTheRevelation does not take it well]]. Throw in {{Body Surf}}ing, and you're looking at some seriou horror, punctuated by {{Take That}}s to the fanboys.
* ''Shatterpoint'': start with ''Literature/HeartOfDarkness'' (the author outright stated it was an inspiration). Add in a planet [[DeathWorld flat-out determined to kill people]], whether its through toxic, corrosive volcanic gases, about ten million different plants and animals, [[EverythingTryingToKillYou all extremely hostile]], or such gems as wasps that sting you, implanting their larvae in your spine, which then cause dementia and death as they hatch. [[HumansAreBastards The people are]] ''even worse''. (Did we mention the [[WarIsHell war going on]]?) And ''all of it is vividly described''. Even [[BadAss Mace]] [[SamuelLJackson Windu]] couldn't stand it. (Of course, since he's Mace Windu, his response is to kill things until the situation improves. Somewhat.)
* ''Traitor'', by the same author, also qualifies, if for no other reason than the cavern-monster scene.
