10 | !!This work contains the following tropes: |
11 | %%* ActionGirl: Antiene Laras, but she is a Jedi. |
12 | %%* ArchEnemy: Nuada Vekstar to Jali. A ClassicVillain with an EyelessFace (though he is a Miraluka). However, in ''The White Twi'lek'' it's implied that he's just TheDragon and the [[HiddenVillain real villain]] is someone named [[OnlyKnownByTheirNickname Aurek]]. |
13 | * BavarianFireDrill: Jali manages to get into Nami's apartment this way, by posing as a delivery man with a bunch of flowers. |
14 | %%* ChainedToABed |
15 | * ChaseScene: Played straight in ''The Seventh Star'', where Jali is pursued by the police. Subverted in ''The White Twi'lek'' Jali chases what he thinks is a shooter in a spaceport, but is actually the Jedi Antiene Laras pursing the shooter who gets away. |
16 | * CruelAndUnusualDeath: Nami Kotour, who was strangled with her own leku. |
17 | * DistractedByTheSexy: Inverted. Jali tells Nami to put her clothes back on so he isn't distracted by her. |
18 | %%* DropDeadGorgeous: Nami Kotour |
19 | %%* FairPlayWhodunnit |
20 | %%* FemmeFatale: Jali's girlfriend Tira Sengel and to some extent Kura. |
21 | %%* FriendOnTheForce: Tollan, until he dies. |
22 | * GasChamber: Tollan Antilles is sealed in inside a tank filled with carbon dioxide by [[spoiler:Tira]] and dies of asphyxiation. |
23 | %%* HoneyTrap |
24 | %%* KnowledgeBroker: Balor Gidderra but Guren is a more reliable one. |
25 | * ItWorksBetterWithBullets: Jali sets up [[spoiler:Xhen Rinner]] for this when he puts his gun on the table unloaded between them. |
26 | %%* MakeItLookLikeAnAccident: This is what happens to [[spoiler:Tollan Antilles]]. |
27 | %%* TheMistress: Nami Kotour. |
28 | %%* MysteriousInformant |
29 | %%* PrivateDetective: Jali Dawler, and to some extent his assistant Xhen Rinner. |
30 | %%* ShoutOut: Quite a number to the genre, [[Creator/DashiellHammett Pallavi ''Dashiel'']], the restaurant [[Film/TheMalteseFalcon1941 Blackbirds]]. |
31 | * SmokingIsCool: Jali smokes more as part of the genre, he does come across a rather strange NoSmoking droid when he lights up at a spaceport. |
32 | * SoundOnlyDeath: This is how [[spoiler:Xhen Rinner]] is killed, and Jali has only a vague idea who is responsible. |
33 | * SpeechImpediment: Balor Giddera, an informant who lisps. |
34 | * SympatheticMurderer: Arguably [[spoiler:Tira Sengel]] but more accurately [[spoiler:Xhen Rinner]]. Jali actually feels sorry for them and sees them as victims or tools of the real bad guy Nuada Vekstar. |
35 | * TitleDrop The Seventh Star refers to a bar in Coruscant's underlevels which is a major location as well as [[spoiler:where some important information is found]]. The white Twi'lek is a [[HookerWithAHeartofGold brothel madam]] who |
36 | * YouWouldntShootMe: Jali uses this at the end of ''The Seventh Star'' to talk down [[spoiler:Tira]] into not shooting him, and he does [[DefensiveFailure get the gun]]. |
