** Haidya's generals are introduced as a colorful but probably not irredeemable group of {{Retired Monster}}s whom Daegen seeks to recruit for an EnemyMine alliance against the Rakata. Despite this promising introduction, they are never seen or mentioned after their debut issue (about halfway through the series).

** The focus on the younger Je'daii and their main mentors can come at the expense of interesting older masters and rangers who get fewer appearances than fans would have liked, such as Kora Ryo (with her DatingCatwoman past with Ox), wise and humble RetiredBadass Lha-Mi, LadyOfWar Rori Fenn, blacksmith Tem Madog (one of the few Masters to get along with Xesh), Miarta Sek (a light-aligned member of the Sith species who is the grandmother of a main character and worries about his balance with the Light), ScarilyCompetentTracker Bel Zana, and HermitGuru Rajivari.

* BrokenBase: Whether the comics or the novel have better worldbuilding and action is a bit debated.



* ItsTheSameNowItSucks: A complaint against this series is that it is too similar to ''[[ComicBook/StarWarsRepublic Republic]]'' and ''[[ComicBook/StarWarsLegacy Legacy]]'', but [[TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodPlot doesn't do enough good about it]].

to:

* FanficFuel:
** The Despot War and the adventures of the various people involved in it (the undercover Daegen, Ox Ryo PlayingBothSides while losing family to Hadiya and being married to a Je'daii, the Temple Masters, Hadiya and her generals, etc.) feel like they have a lot of untapped story potential.
** What moral alignment Daegen ends up on, the exact manner in which he contributes to the Jed’aii schism, and how he feels about this are all interesting events that only take place after the main series.

* SignatureScene: Quan-Jang and Shae Koda flying on tamed rancor dragons in their EstablishingCharacterMoment is a pretty talked-about part of the series, even among some ''Legends'' fans who haven't actually read the comics.
* StrangledByTheRedString: Many fans of Shae and Xesh feel that the romance between them slightly reduced their characters after their promising beginnings and, given how the ContinuityReboot made the series run so short, that page time could have been better spent.
* TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodCharacter:
** The focus on the younger Je'daii and their main mentors can come at the expense of interesting older masters and rangers who get fewer appearances than fans would have liked, such as Kora Ryo (with her DatingCatwoman past with Ox), wise and humble RetiredBadass Lha-Mi, LadyOfWar Rori Fenn, blacksmith Tem Madog (one of the few Masters to get along with Xesh), Miarta Sek (a light-aligned member of the Sith species who is the grandmother of a main character and worries about his balance with the Light), ScarilyCompetentTracker Bel Zana, and HermitGuru Rajivari.

Despite this promising introduction, they are never seen or mentioned after their debut issue (about halfway through the series).
* TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodPlot: Tasha Ryo being tugged between the Je'daii Order and her father's criminal enterprise could have been a major theme and shown why future Jedi are reluctant to allow relationships between initiates and their biological families, but this only gets a couple of fairly unimportant scenes.
* UnpopularPopularCharacter: AmbiguouslyEvil Daegen Lok and WildCard Xesh are viewed with wariness and/or contempt by many of the lightsiders in the series, but most fans can't get enough of either of them.

* CompleteMonster:
** [[EvilOverlord Predor Skal'nas]] of the Infinite Empire is a Rakata bad by even their standards. A conqueror and [[SlaveryIsASpecialKindOfEvil slaver]] who culls and destroys countless worlds, Skal'nas [[InvoluntaryBattleToTheDeath has slaves fight to the death]] for fun and has the losers served as his meals. Later invading the Tython system to mass death and destruction, Skal'nas [[BadBoss murders his second]], Cehl'net, when she demonstrates even minor insubordination to his will and intends to seize the Infinity Gate so he might rule the Rakata and destroy countless worlds until the galaxy submits to him.
** [[InsaneAdmiral Predor Tul'Kar]] is an exceptionally vile member of the Rakatan Infinite Empire. A genocidal monster who uses his mentally broken Force Hound Xesh to find worlds brimming with Force-sensitives so Tul'Kar can raze the worlds and cull the sensitives, Tul'Kar enslaves billions of people at a time to serve as fodder for the Infinite Empire or become [[LivingBattery living batteries]]. [[EstablishingCharacterMoment Introduced]] cutting down a child, torturing the boy's father to death, then murdering and cannibalizing one of his own minions, [[ForTheEvulz all purely on a whim]], Tul'Kar later [[OrbitalBombardment reduces Tatooine from a lush land of life to the barren wasteland it is best known for]]. Tul'Kar tries to use Xesh to find the Je'daii planet Tython so that Tul'Kar may utterly devastate the entire population, and when his ship comes under attack, Tul'Kar uses his final moments to aimlessly kill as many of his slaves as possible out of spite.
