YMMV / Star Wars: The Aftermath Trilogy

---

• Complete Monster: Besides Grand Moff Lozen Tolruck, there are these 2 trilogy-wide villains:
  • Even after his death, Emperor Sheev Palpatine's evil still lived. The Contingency, concocted by Palpatine and Gallius Rax, is a horrifying plan consisting of Rax luring the New Republic and the Empire into a final conflict, then wiping out both sides by blowing up the entire planet they are dueling on, which will kill not only the hundreds of thousands of soldiers on both sides, but also the millions upon millions of lifeforms on the destroyed planet. Palpatine's reasoning for this scheme was nothing more than a final way of executing those who failed him, believing that if he died, the Empire and all its members deserved to die as well due to failing to protect him from death.
  • Fleet Admiral Gallius Rax is the mastermind behind the entire trilogy, and establishes himself as a savage sadist beneath his apparently pleasant demeanor. Once a lowly orphan whose ruthlessness earned himself a place as Emperor Palpatine's apprentice after he manipulated then burned alive a group of children, Rax went on to rise through the ranks and succeed Palpatine in ruling the Empire following the latter's demise. In his new position, Rax executes a variety of Imperials for perceived weakness and orchestrates many bloody conflicts against the New Republic, notably mind controlling their own soldiers into assassinating their leadership during a peace treaty signing. Ordering his own right hand, Rae Sloane, murdered when she grows disgusted by his tactics, Rax reveals his master plan concocted by himself and Palpatine to lure the armies of the New Republic and Empire to the planet Jakku for a final war, where Rax will proceed to blow up the entire planet, wiping out both sides of the conflict as well as the entire native population. Afterwards, Rax plans to use dozens of children he has brainwashed and tormented into obedience to create his own armada with which to conquer the galaxy, indirectly leading to the conception of the First Order.
• Narm: Plenty to go around. The most notable example is a starship battle being described with the words "Herkily Jerkily".
