* PoliticalCorrectnessGoneMad: In both ''The Novelty Desire'' and ''Hopeless Situation Return'', the rebels want to "speed up the offensive music" as part of their battle plan. Why the Rebels/Union are so bothered by the work of Music/JohnWilliams is unknown.

* EveryoneIsJesusInPurgatory: {{Invoked}}. Darth Vader is still implied to be GodInHumanForm, his son is named after [[Literature/TheFourGospels The Gospel of Luke]] [[BaitAndSwitch (that is, he's named Gospel)]] and characters generally make frequent references to religion.

* ThemeNaming: Most of the new characters are named after locations, like Ray Iraq, Finland[=/=]Finnish Syrians, El Paso[=/=]Singapore, and Sri Lanka Knox.

** In ''Grand Theft Auto'', Tarkin asks to talk to the "Secretary of Queensland." Kunnick/Quincy is played by Australian actor Creator/BenMendelsohn.

* EarthDrift: InvertedTrope. Despite what the OpeningScroll might say, it is made clear in ''Backstroke of the West'' that it ''doesn't'' take place ALongTimeAgoInAGalaxyFarFarAway, but rather in our own galaxy, the Milky Way. Later installments go even further by mentioning real Earthly countries by name. Tatooine is just in UsefulNotes/{{Africa}}, for instance. [[note]] [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tataouine Well, from a certain point of view... ]][[/note]] In ''Grand Theft Auto'', Tarkin is the Governor of Tajikistan, Quincy Kunnick is the Secretary of Queensland, and the Death Star plans are on Scarlett. ''The Novelty Desire'' even refers to Yavin as Earth Jabin, or just Earth.

* CaptainObvious: When President Ray Gun plans to invade South Korea and cuts them off from outside communication, Captain Panaka tells The Plum Of "This is a situation, Your Highness."

* IHaveNoSon: Inverted. Anakin disowns his mother when he leaves Africa, saying "I have no mother. I promise.", partly because she's ashamed of him for winning the Ford race.

** The Plum Of tells Allah Gold/Anakin "You are a beautiful monster in the universe", but going from her body language, she intended it as a compliment. Anakin tells her "I am a man, my name is Anakin. I'm very sorry."

* AwesomenessByAnalysis: While trying to fly through an asteroid field, Boba urges his father to "note" [[note]] note.[[/note]]

* AnOfferYouCantRefuse: Ratio Tile tries to coerce Django into spying on Obi-Wan for him. When Django tries to run for it with Boba, Ratio tries to forcibly subdue him, resulting in a fierce fight between the two.

* EagleLand: It's unclear which type is in play. Ezra wants to help Sabine escape to America as an illegal immigrant, but he later discovers that the United States Army is helping to hunt down the Rebels.

* HeroicSelfDeprecation: Zeb casually states that he has no rights.

** Sabine mentions that she was once a rock station.

* BringIt: Han's response to Lando's taunts during sabacc.

* EatDirtCheap: Han seems rather excited to eat dirt in the southern swamp.

* TheGamblingAddict: Lando may be one, judging from his claim to "win too many things."
* InsuranceFraud: Han's thermal grenade fakeout involves "pull[ing] down the insurance," but Mrs. Pei isn't fooled.
* JoustingLance: Chi La wants to joust with Han.

* RelatedInTheAdaptation: Briefly discussed; Han wonders if he's Lando's dad.

* DrinkingOnDuty: Vader offers his commander a drink of wine for pleasing D the Superior by stalling the construction of the Death Star II.

* LukeIAmYourFather: Ratio Tile reveals to Gospel that Anakin and Vader are the same person, and that Leah is his [[spoiler: ''brother'']].

* RobotReligion: When Blow the Skin is greeted at the gate to Java 5's place, he exclaims "God is merciful to me!" He seems to worship Luke as the lord and savior.
* ScrewPolitenessImASenior: Upon reuniting with Vanquish Is, Vanquish randomly insults Luke by telling him [[HypocriticalHumor "You do not look good."]]

* AdaptationalHeroism: If General Hux's speech is to be believed, the First Order ended intolerance in this timeline.
* ApologeticAttacker: Thoreau Jr. tells his father that he was assigned to kill him, suggesting that he's under duress.

* CannotTalkToWomen: Thoreau Jr., though he ''has'' -- in his own words -- heard a lot about them.

* DeathSeeker: Thoreau Jr. abruptly tells Eyebrows that she has to kill him during her interrogation.
* EqualOpportunityEvil: General Hux claims that "The regime ended intolerance." (Granted, the First Order ''is'' more inclusive than the Galactic Empire, at least onscreen.)
* EvilEyebrows: Thoreau Jr's are notable enough for Supreme Readers Snooker himself to point them out.

* LeetLingo: The ST ER ORMTROOP guarding Rey's cell calls her a "SCHVGHQGF waste."
* MundaneUtility: General Hux suggests using a clone army to play snooker.
* ScrewThisImOutOfHere: Mr. Thoreau tries to do this when confronting Thoreau Jr.

* TakeThat: The subtitles take several bracketed shots at Chewbacca, claiming that "Chewie is [[BigStupidDoodooHead dog feces]]", "Chewie is damn" and "Chewie [[DamnedByFaintPraise smoothly]] dog feces."

** General Hux apparently issues an order to [[Franchise/StreetFighter Chun-li]].

* FriendlyFire: Hux outright orders his subordinates to burn their own base.

* PrivateMilitaryContractors: There is a reference to a [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hessian_(soldier) Hessian]] general during Marry's prank call on Hux's Star Destroyer.

** Instead of Swiss defeating Thoreau Jr. with Allah Gold's lightsaber in the previous Gathers, Thoreau Jr. apparently [[EpicFail defeated himself]] and Swiss [[WinsByDoingAbsolutelyNothing didn't use her lightsaber]], according to Snooker. Though this could just be a form of {{Gaslighting}}.

* SinsOfOurFathers: The Gospel of Luke threatens to haunt both Thoreau Jr. and his children.
* SkewedPriorities: The Gospel of Luke is upset with Thoreau Jr. not for killing his students, but for his inability to remember them.

* TheAllegedCar: Hux asks Thoreau Jr. whether they should wait for the Resistance's speeders to be destroyed, implying that they'll soon break apart without outside assistance.

* PromotedToLoveInterest: There are [[ShipTease Ship Teases]] between characters who were never romantically involved in the original movies. Like [[TeacherStudentRomance Qui-Gon and Ratio Tile or Ratio Tile and Allah Gold]], [[SurpriseIncest Reach The West and Bong Day]], quite likely Speaker D and Allah Gold, or possibly even Mr. Thoreau and Gospel of Luke or even The and Allah Gold, though never shown.

* BlindWeaponmaster: Qui-Gon, if his telling Gold that he's blind is to be believed.
* BrattyHalfPint: Allah Gold tells Qui-Gon that he wants to be a problem.

* DarkIsNotEvil: Qui-Gon says this of the Colo Claw Fish that gets killed by the Sando Aqua Monster in South Korea's core. While it tried to eat them, Qui-Gon is quite unhappy at the outcome, because the creature was in charge of the planet's crops.

* HandicappedBadass: Qui-Gon reveals to Allah Gold at dinner that he's blind.

* InformedAbility: Qui-Gon tells Sio Bibble "We are the best ambassadors country.", even though he was unable to stop the Trade Federation's invasion.

* JiveTurkey: Qui-Gon uses this to talk down to Bottle when they first meet up.

* LikesOlderWomen: Jar Jar, who says he's "DOEN [sic] a housewife!"
* MiseryBuildsCharacter: Qui-Gon tells Ratio Tile that "hurt provide benefits to us."

* NiceJobBreakingItHero: In South Korea's core, Ratio Tile and Qui-Gon evade a Colo Claw Fish by leading it into the maw of a Sando Aqua Monster, but Qui Gon calls the outcome "Terrible." because the Claw Fish was in charge of the crops.
* OnlyInItForTheMoney: Watto claims to have "great religion" in Allah Gold, but only because he is "a credit card" to Qui-Gon's race.

* SkewedPriorities: While protecting The Plum Of from the Trade Federation, Qui-Gon states his plans to move to a desert planet (Africa) to get tattoos.

* EveryoneIsJesusInPurgatory:[[invoked]] Continues where ''Backstroke'' left off. Darth Vader is still implied to be GodInHumanForm, his son is named after [[Literature/TheFourGospels The Gospel of Luke]] [[BaitAndSwitch (that is, he's named Gospel)]] and characters generally make frequent references to religion.

* {{Pluralses}}: Mostly in ''Backstroke of the West'', but still present elsewhere in the series.

** D being an atheist by the time of ''Hopeless Situation Return'' doesn't mean he was always one. It could be that he lost his faith when he saw the Death Stars being built.

* DigitalPiracyIsEvil: CD burning is mentioned among the Caminoans' activities, alongside making a clone army.

* WordSaladTitle: All of them, in the spirit of ''Backstroke of the West'', ''The Duplicate Offensive'' almost sounds like it could be an actual ''Star Wars'' title, while there [[NonIndicativeName aren't any flies whatsoever]] in ''Flies are a Sober Force''.
** However, once you get over the fact that the Jedi are referred to as "[[FailOSuckyname Hopeless Situations]]", ''Hopeless Situation Return'' actually ''does'' make sense as a title.

* FantasticReligiousWeirdness: In ''Backstroke of the West'' Ratio Tile claims that "Our faith believes in our religion, but is not to believe in a certain person." But in ''The Counterattack Collection'', Reach the West[=/=]Lord Bader mentions a (rather badass) Quaternity: "The father, the driver, and the wild goose with the son." Whether this happens to be the West's pantheon, or is a carryover from the beliefs of the Hopeless Situation Warriors is unclear.

** Chancellor Palpatine / Darth Sidious -> [[UsefulNotes/AngelaMerkel Merkel]] / Map / D the Superior / The Pudding / [[UnfortunateNames The]] [[AccidentalInnuendo D]]

-->-- '''Marry (Poe Dameron)''', ''The Seventh Gathers: Flies are a Sober Force''

* ArtisticLicenseAstronomy: Ezra's honesty is stated to be great j-cloth space.
* ArtisticLicenseHistory / ArtisticLicenseReligion: Apparently members of the Spanish Inquisition want to have a "secret mosque". In reality, the Spanish Inquisition was rather hostile to secret Muslims and Jews.

* NotSoDifferent: Cassian tells Piano "We are the same" regarding their relative ruthlessness and amorality in the name of fighting and surviving the Empire.

* IllegalReligion: Early on, President Ray Gun asks Speaker D "Is the Lord legal?" implying that religion[[note]]or at least Christianity[[/note]] is outlawed in the Milky Way.Speaker D replies "I want to fuck it into law."

* WhyDoYouKeepChangingJobs: Nuts Gunray/Ray Gun is now a governor, while he was the President in ''Ghost.''

* AmericaSavesTheDay: Inverted, just like in ''The Counterattack Collection''. The United States military is mentioned to be on the Empire's side.

* CallBack: During the attack on Starkiller Base, Temmin "Snap" Wexley (the Resistance pliot played by Creator/GregGrunberg) says [[WebVideo/BackstrokeOfTheWest "He is in my back."]] Thoreau again speaks in Roman numerals just aas he did in ''The Novelty Desire.''

* IllegalReligion: Early on, President Ray Gun asks Speaker D "Is the Lord legal?", implying that religion[[note]]or at least Christianity[[/note]] is outlawed in the Milky Way.Speaker D replies "I want to fuck it into law."
