* BrokenBird: Two of Han's girlfriends coped with severe trauma through becoming badasses dedicated to a cause.
** Bria was enslaved and became addicted to a FantasticDrug (which facilitated her enslavement). She got over this only through becoming a Rebel and freeing fellow slaves.
** Xaverri's husband and children were killed by the Empire. She coped by turning into a con artist who's ruined numerous Imperial officials, and once also helps in the defeat of a small Imperial task force.



* TheChanteuse: Bria once goes undercover as one in ''Rebel Dawn'' when traveling on a swanky passenger ship. Lando meets her since hes there (while [[TheGambler gambling of course]]) when she sings in a high class lounge, wearing a long dress and made up beautifully. He notes that she's far from the best singer of the type, but her passion and beauty make up for any lesser talent.

** While playing a high-stakes card game, Lando offers Han a marker for "any ship on [his] lot" when he runs short of cash. As he doesn't specify that he means his ''inventory'', Han uses the marker to claim Lando's personal ship, the ''Millennium Falcon'', which Lando had left parked in said lot. Lando tries to object, but Han presses him on his literal statement, and Lando unhappily agrees.

Lando tries to object, but Han presses him on his literal statement, and Lando unhappily agrees. This is suggested to be part of the explanation for Lando's grudge against him in the film trilogy, [[spoiler:the other part being when Han gets Lando and a bunch of their friends to sign on to a Rebel raid on Ylesia only for the Rebels to double-cross them because they need the funds for operations against the Death Star]].



* FromCamouflageToCriminal: The trilogy shows how Han was an officer in the Imperial Navy, and what happened to cause him to leave and begin a life of crime. Or rather ''resume'' it, since he had already worked as a con artist, drug smuggler and thief before. He was blacklisted from legal piloting with his dishonorable discharge.

* GambitPileup: The Battle of Nar Shaddaa in ''The Hutt Gambit''. The Hutts find out that Moff Sarn Shild plans to invade their home system and glass Nar Shaddaa in particular to put an end to their weapons smuggling. After failing to buy him off, they send Han to bribe his subordinate Admiral Winstel Greelanx, who agrees to withdraw if the Hutts inflict enough losses on him to make it reasonable, to which end the Hutts gather every SpacePirate and smuggler who can fire a laser cannon. Unbeknownst to the Hutts, Greelanx simultaneously receives secret orders from the Emperor to do basically the same thing, which Bria Tharen theorizes after the fact was an attempt to publicly embarrass Moff Shild as an excuse to remove him from office. [[spoiler:It doesn't end well for Greelanx, although it's left ambiguous whether Darth Vader found out about the bribe or was [[YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness just eliminating a potential leak]].]]

* CallBack: The books have references to a lot of earlier details from other ''Star Wars'' works, even ones [[FanonDiscontinuity most fans preferred to ignore]], like [[Literature/TheGloveOfDarthVader Jabba's father being Zorba]], who had been put into prison on a planet called "Kyp". The entirety of ''Literature/TheAdventuresOfHanSolo'' likewise takes place partway through ''Rebel Dawn'' when Han decides to run away from an overly clingy girlfriend.

The entirety of Star Wars Legends was declared non-canon in 2014, before any of the formerly mentioned films were made. There's therefore no point bringing up exactly what Disney-era jossed what parts of this trilogy, because all parts were.

** In the first book, Han Solo's accounts are flagged by Corellian Security Force officer Inspector Hal Horn, the father of Corran Horn from the Literature/XWingSeries. Han later mentions this when they run into each other in ''[[Literature/JediAcademyTrilogy I, Jedi]]'', and Corran takes on his alias Jenos Idanian as well, which his grandfather tells him about (though not that it was Han's).

* CanonMarchesOn: Like much of the Star Wars expanded universe, the 2010s movies ultimately knocked this series out of canon: the end of Bria's arc in ''Rebel Dawn'' was superseded by ''Film/RogueOne'' before the entire series was rendered non-canonical by the release of ''Film/{{Solo}}''. Even before that, at one point, narrative text identifies Boba Fett as having been born Jaster Mereel (as had been established in ''Literature/TalesOfTheBountyHunters'' and generally accepted as his background at the time). The trilogy was published just a few years prior to ''Film/AttackOfTheClones'' establishing Boba as a clone of Jango Fett, with later material such as ''VideoGame/StarWarsBountyHunter'' establishing Jaster as Jango's mentor. Boba then used his name as an alias.
