  • Big-Lipped Alligator Moment:
    • Han and Chewie discovering a Wookiee child and its zombified family of the bridge of the Star Destroyer. As soon as it ends it's never brought up again, and just raises questions as to where they came from, how they got there, and if they're the same Wookiee family Trig and Kale saw earlier.
    • Artimage discovering the Body Horror lab filled with lungs in vats we never find out what those were for or why the Empire needed them.
  • Hilarious in Hindsight: Go here.
  • Magnificent Bastard: Jareth Satoris is the ruthless captain of the Purge Imperial prison barge, who has cultivated an image of being far more cruel and ruthless than he truly is. Renowned for keeping some of the Empire's worst prisoners in line with his tactics, Sartoris is the first person to realize the errors being made by his superiors in handling a viral outbreak, and quickly deduces that the virus is transforming the populace of the Purge into ravenous zombies. Stoically blasting his way through many enemies before killing and swiping the escape pod codes from his boss, Sartoris later outwits a group of cannibalistic Imperial survivors of the outbreak. Though bitten by the zombies and soon to die from infection, Sartoris uses his last moments to sacrifice himself and save the lives of other passengers, imparting comforting words to Trig Longo about his father as Sartoris finally accepts the remorse he holds for killing Trig's father.
  • Moral Event Horizon: Gorrister and the Imperial cannibal crew commit this with their eating habits.
  • Spoiled by the Format: The reveal halfway through the story that Han Solo and Chewbacca are on the Purge undercuts the Anyone Can Die grimness of the story.
