YMMV / The Lando Calrissian Adventures

Go To

  • Base-Breaking Character: Klyn Shanga from the second and third books is either the most delightful combination of competence, fearlessness, and hamminess imaginable or a Creator's Pet.
  • Ensemble Dark Horse: Go here.
  • Complete Monster: Rokur Gepta, the Arch-Enemy of Lando Calrissian, is a Croke who devastated all life on the planet of Tund alongside the benevolent sorcerers who lived upon it once Gepta was finished learning everything he could from the sorcerers. A powerful Master of Illusion whose gargantuan ego suffers no unpunished infractions, when a chance encounter with Lando nearly costs Gepta his life, Gepta devotes himself to destroying Lando utterly. Gepta kills and impersonates a trillionaire just for the chance to get close to Lando and subject him to "torture by chagrin" for what Gepta hopes to be weeks, forcing Lando to relive all the most traumatic moments in his life with his agony augmented. Gepta later attempts to destroy the entire nebula in which the advanced civilization of the Oswaft located in after having been denied the Oswaft's advanced abilities. Gepta is also a hideously cruel boss, torturing and executing his men for minor reasons, having half-a-dozen of his own officers jettisoned for balking at his suicidal battle strategies, and telling Lando he'd happily sacrifice countless numbers of his own fleet to bury Lando in dead bodies. Empty of anything but an obsession to empower himself, Gepta dreams of one day rendering the universe as sterile and lifeless as Tund itself.
  • Just Here for Godzilla: Even some people who are lukewarm about the series view unique droid sidekick Vuffi Raa's scenes as worth reading.
  • Values Dissonance: The third book has a regrettable abundance of Smoking Is Cool moments.
