* LifeImitatesArt: The New Republic's invasion of the Ciutric Hegemony in ''Isard's Revenge'' has a number of strange similarities to the US invasion of Iraq four years later. The Republic invades a villainous but technically neutral state to depose a dictator largely for political reasons, spurred on by faked evidence of a bogus enemy superweapon.

* MarthDebutedInSmashBros: This can sometimes happen due to ''Franchise/StarWarsLegends'' not coming out in chronological order. The "ugly" kitbashed starfighters first appeared in Literature/TheCorellianTrilogy. The X-wing "snoopscoot" first appeared in the Literature/BlackFleetCrisis Trilogy.

* WhatCouldHaveBeen: As Stackpole conceived of her, Plourr was a Quarren, a squid-faced alien. Somewhere on the way to production she became human instead. She has her own plot arc later revolving around being the [[RightfulKingReturns rightfully-returning Empress]] of a human-colonized world, but was that how she was intended? Quarren don't seem to have their own worlds, and later a Quarren is introduced whose plotline is BelligerentSexualTension with a Mon Calamari character.

** Even though the French version conveys Stackpole's BeigeProse like a charm, comparing the original and French versions of Allston's books reveals that half the humor took a walk out the airlock during the translation process.

Similarly, some dialogue was significantly shortened, making them sound bland when Allston's originals were excellent.
