* AdaptationalSexuality: Ackmena, TK-421 and [[AmbiguouslyGay possibly]] [[spoiler: Tarkin]] are confirmed to be gay/lesbians in this collection of stories.

* SecretSecretKeeper: Wuher (the bar owner at Mos Eisley) recognizes that Obi-Wan is a Jedi even before he pulls out the lightsaber. However, a pair of Jedi saved his life back in the Clone Wars, so he keeps quiet. It's also indicated that some members of the Cantina band recognized the lightsaber from their travels, but they figured they'd do a good deed and not report it.

** In Legends, R2 [[KickTheDog sabotages R5-D4’s motivator so that he’ll be sold over the other Droid]]. Here, R5 wakes up partway through the process and gives him a WhatTheHellHero, causing R2 to recount his tale. R5 later creates an explosion that makes him look like his motivator blew.

* DamningWithFaintPraise: In "Not For Nothing", the Modal Nodes use "Better than Jabba's Palace" to describe any given place as being absolutely terrible. Naturally, this is how they describe the [[WretchedHive cantina at Mos Eisely]].

* DisadvantageousDisintegration: Boba Fett runs afoul of this in "Added Muscle." Two rebel spies he ran into on Coruscant attacked him with disruptors, which he countered with weapon accelerators, reducing them to ashes. Problem is, without any bodies to identify, Boba loses out on the reward. This explains why Vader was quite specific in addressing Fett with his "No disintegrations" requirement in ''[[Film/TheEmpireStrikesBack Empire]]''.

** Garindan, AKA "Long Snoot", the Kubaz informant who sold out the Rebel droids to the Empire in Mos Eisley, is actually a ReverseMole that is simply trying to make enough credits so he can get a ship off Tatooine and liberate his homeworld from the Empire afterward (while [[PretendToBeBrainwashed pretending to be a brainwashed spy]] that works for them), and that job was supposed to be his last step towards that goal. Sadly, the Empire uses their failure to capture the droids as an excuse to forfeit their payment to him (even though he did everything his job required him to do), and he is still a long way from meeting his goal.

** The red droid that blew up before R2 was bought was just another comedic moment. "The Red One" shows the events from his perspective. He's sad, lonely, and dying, desperate to be sold and find some purpose in his last years under a new master. As such, the scene changes from something akin to a used car breaking down to an old, lost pet dying [[ShootTheShaggyDog just out of reach of a new home]].
