* FrankenVehicle: "Uglies", starfighters cobbled together from salvaged wrecks, debut in this series as part of the Corellian rebels' fleet. Han Solo comments that he ''hates'' fighting them because they're so variable in quality: you never know whether you're up against something that flies as well as at it looks, or the rare example that actually outperforms the fighters it was built from and has a pilot to match.

* HomeworldEvacuation: The villains of the trilogy have a weapon that can make stars go supernova and have released a list of targets. The first inhabited star system on the list, the Thanta Zilbra system, only had about 13,000 residents, but even with several days of warning, the New Republic is only able to evacuate a few thousand people with their own transports and some local ships. Wedge Antilles watches families being separated and people being forced to leave behind their few valuables to avoid taking up room on the transports, and bleakly notes that the next targeted system has almost a thousand times as many inhabitants. The failure to fully evacuate Thanta Zilbra proves that the only feasible option to save the people living in the next targeted system is to stop the attack beforehand.

** ''[[AllThereInTheManual Cracken's Threat Dossier]]'' says that the Thanta Zilbra star system, the second system targeted by the starburster plot, is named after the smuggler who discovered the previously uninhabited system and some fauna with healing properties (which made him a good source of legitimate money, brought in thousands of colonists, and got the system accepted into the New Republic). He also named the system's sole inhabitable world after himself, [[spoiler:and chooses to die with his planet after sending his loved ones to safety right before the supernova]].
** ''[[AllThereInTheManual Cracken's Threat Dossier]]'' mentions that Bovo Yagen, the third target of the starburster plot, was named after the first person to open it up to the wider galaxy, an Imperial DefectorFromDecadence who traveled there with his family (and later brought other refugees there) and negotiated a peaceful coexistence with the native species rather than engage in EvilColonialist methods. He also named a smaller planet in the system after one of his sons.

He’s worried when they say he’s the first non-Selonian to learn this secret, but ultimately they let him leave alive.
