%% Nil Spaar is disqualified for Complete Monster status by the Even Evil Has Loved Ones Entry on the main page. As it was said in the subpage cleanup thread, he's a 99.999% monster, but it's that last 0.001% that's the problem.

* MoralEventHorizon: The Yevetha's multi-planet genocide at the end of ''Before the Storm''.
* OlderThanTheyThink:
** These books introduced several concepts that made their way into books set chronologically earlier, such as the Recon X-wing or 'snoopscoot' which was then used in the Literature/XWingSeries.
** Also, despite the {{Take That}}s directed at this series in ''Literature/HandOfThrawn'', Creator/TimothyZahn borrowed the aforementioned human-shields-protecting-warships thing for the [[PlanetLooters Vagaari]] in ''Literature/OutboundFlight''.
* {{Padding}}: A lot of fans think this series would be one of the best in the EU if it had just left out the Luke subplot and Lando chasing that useless Qella ship. The Lando plot particularly is [[BrokenBase the great divider]]. Practically everyone loves the Leia/Han plot and practically everyone hates the Luke plot. Meanwhile, half the fandom hates the Lando plot for being so irrelevant and barely touching the other two plots, and the other half loves it for being a throwback to the Lando trilogy of the 80's that largely featured him exploring strange ruins and lost cultures. It also gets a CallBack in the ''Literature/NewJediOrder'' series when Lando uses laminanium, the self-healing metal the ship was made from, for the armor on his [[MechaMook Yuuzhan Vong Hunter droids]]. It's just too bad that Luke's plot [[DeusExMachina provided the answer to Lando's plot]], while doing almost nothing for Leia: [[spoiler:the uprising of the Yevethas' Imperial prisoners do a ''lot'' more for her at the Battle of N'Zoth than the Fallanassi end up doing]]. Otherwise, Lando's story could've ended up as a single installment with the main ''Black Fleet'' series being a duology.
* RescuedFromTheScrappyHeap: Chewbacca's family from ''Film/TheStarWarsHolidaySpecial'' gets ADayInTheLimelight, and [[BadassFamily a particularly badass one]].
* {{Squick}}: [[{{Robosexual}} Sex droids]], but for Michael P. [=Kube-McDowell=], it's expected.
* TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodPlot: Plat has some angst about being the LastOfHisKind and tries to hold out hope he is wrong, but he never gets to find out that there are other survivors of Polneye who are enslaved, held hostage, and eventually escape.
