* InUniverse example in "The Krytos Trap", book three of the original Literatre/RogueSquadron novels. At the novel's climax, the Super Star Destroyer Lusyanka emerges from its hiding place ''inside'' the [[CityPlanet planet-encompassing cityscape]] of Coruscant. As Wedge contemplates how in the world Emperor Palpatine managed to put it in there and have nobody aware of it, he comes to the conclusion that thre's two possibilities. Option 1: Palpatine was so ''powerful'' he was capable of using MoreThanMindControl on ''thousands'', maybe '''millions''' of sentients and wiping all memory of seeing Lusyanka installed. Option 2: Palpatine simply had every last one of those thousands to millions of witnesses ''KilledToUpholdTheMasquerade'' '''and nobody ever noticed'''. He's honestly not sure which option scares him the most.

* Anyone who has played both ''VideoGame/DarkForces'' and the original ''VideoGame/StarWarsBattlefront'' games has probably noticed that the Dark Troopers in the latter look and behave more like regular, living stormtroopers instead of droids or walking tanks with stormtroopers in them. A case of CanonDiscontinuity? Perhaps that was the case up until the guide for ''VideoGame/StarWarsTheForceUnleashed'' came out and identified ''Battlefront''’s Dark Troopers as “Phase Zero Dark Troopers”, who were Clone Troopers that were crippled during the Clone War, forcibly rebuilt using the same technology that went into Darth Vader, and forced back into Imperial service. In some cases, up to ''seventy percent '' of a trooper’s organic body would be replaced. Needless to say, the Phase Zero project [[DrivenToSuicide had a high suicide rate.]]

* ''Literature/ChooseYourOwnAdventure'' had a series of Star Wars gamebooks that featured [[TheManyDeathsOfYou many horrific endings]] depending on the choices the reader makes, but one ending that sticks out is in the ''A New Hope'' volume. After being taken captive by the Imperials, Tarkin will call for the reader's execution if the reader refuses to join them. But Vader will intervene and convince Tarkin to have the reader taken to Kessel, where they end up forced to work as a slave in the mines. Working conditions are extremely miserable and the reader finds themself living in fear of their extremely hostile taskmasters and even their fellow workers threatening to harm or rob them. Vader promised the reader's stay there was temporary, but the narration implies [[ILied Vader lied]] or forgotten. The last sentences of the ending even implied the the reader eventually was stuck on Kessel long enough that [[DespairEventHorizon they completely gave up any hope of escape from their nightmarish fate.]]

* ''WesternAnimation/{{Droids}}''
** The made-for-TV movie, ''The Great Heep,'' is significantly darker than other episodes. It involves droids getting their power drained (the robotic equivalent of having someone suck out their life force) complete with the [[SarcasmMode lovely]] image of their colour fading to a sickly brown. The main villain of the episode, the eponymous Great Heep is far more sinister than the show's villains up to that point -- not to mention [[spoiler: his death scene]] is quite terrifying in itself, complete with lightning and rain. The episode also chronologically introduces [[KnightOfCerebus Admiral Screed]], who went on to become [[TheHeavy the central Imperial character on the show]]. He is only ''slightly'' less evil than the Great Heep.
** Bisad Koon's death. ''Holy Toledo,'' Bisad Koon's death. [[spoiler: The disease he's contracted causes him to simply...disappear, leaving his clothes behind. Think Obi-wan's death at Vader's hands, but more disturbing.]]
