* EvilAlbino: Trill has the look, though as she's apparently an Arkanian[[note]]her species hasn't been named yet, but she looks exactly like how Arkanians are usually portrayed[[/note]] that coloring is normal for her species.

* CallForward: T ''Force War'' features Rakatan Annihilators, which resemble OG-9 homing spider droids used by the Separatists since ''Film/AttackOfTheClones'', as well as the Je'daii [[Film/ANewHope Red]] and [[Film/ReturnOfTheJedi Blue]] Squadrons.

* BigBad: Daegen Lok and Predor Skal'nas [[{{BigBadEnsemble}} are both competing for Big Bad status]] with [[spoiler:Xesh]] acting as {{TheDragon}} to Daegen Lok.
* [[spoiler:BittersweetEnding: The Rakata have been driven away, Xesh has made his HeelFaceTurn for good, almost all of the major Je'daii characters have survived. However, the seers have been blinded, Tasha Ryo has performed a HeroicSacrifice and the masters are unsure and at strife how to continue, {{foreshadowing}} the civil war described in ''VideoGame/StarWarsTheOldRepublic''.]]

** Possibly justified in that these species did not settle Tython on their own, and since this happened thousands of years in the past it probably wouldn't have been considered "first contact" if it was remembered at all. See AncientAstronauts above.

* [[ImAHumanitarian I'm a Rakatatarian]]: Rakatans have no taboo against cannibalism; in fact, this is implied to be the ''only'' way they have of dealing with their dead.

* [[RedEyesTakeWarning Yellow Eyes Take Warning]]: Daegen Lok, who has fallen to the Dark Side (Bogan). The Rakatans as well.

* CallForward: Tul'kar's flagship is called ''Devastator'' which acts as Darth Vader's flagship in ''Film/ANewHope''. The third story arc, ''Force War'' features Rakatan Annihilators, which resemble OG-9 homing spider droids used by the Separatists since ''Film/AttackOfTheClones'', as well as the Je'daii [[Film/ANewHope Red]] and [[Film/ReturnOfTheJedi Blue]] Squadrons.

* ContinuitySnarl: Several Species depicted to have settled Tython (including but not limited to True Sith, Twi'leks, Noghri, and Wookies) are depicted elsewhere in the Extended Universe to have been confined to their respective homeworlds until much later in Galactic history, and their respective first contacts with outsiders are considered Red Letter Dates in such EU books as ''The Essential Chronology'' and ''The Essential Atlas''.

* TheObiWan: Several

* AncientAstronauts: Thousands of years before the Republic, Jedi, or Sith, ships called Thor Yor (which were themselves ancient) traveled to different planets across the galaxy, called to the force sensitive individuals there, and gathered them on Tython.
