10	!!This work contains the following tropes:
11	%%* ActionGirl: Antiene Laras, but she is a Jedi.
12	%%* ArchEnemy: Nuada Vekstar to Jali. A ClassicVillain with an EyelessFace (though he is a Miraluka). However, in ''The White Twi'lek'' it's implied that he's just TheDragon and the [[HiddenVillain real villain]] is someone named [[OnlyKnownByTheirNickname Aurek]].
13	* BavarianFireDrill: Jali manages to get into Nami's apartment this way, by posing as a delivery man with a bunch of flowers.
14	%%* ChainedToABed
15	* ChaseScene: Played straight in ''The Seventh Star'', where Jali is pursued by the police. Subverted in ''The White Twi'lek'' Jali chases what he thinks is a shooter in a spaceport, but is actually the Jedi Antiene Laras pursing the shooter who gets away.
16	* CruelAndUnusualDeath: Nami Kotour, who was strangled with her own leku.
17	* DistractedByTheSexy: Inverted. Jali tells Nami to put her clothes back on so he isn't distracted by her.
18	%%* DropDeadGorgeous: Nami Kotour
19	%%* FairPlayWhodunnit
20	%%* FemmeFatale: Jali's girlfriend Tira Sengel and to some extent Kura.
21	%%* FriendOnTheForce: Tollan, until he dies.
22	* GasChamber: Tollan Antilles is sealed in inside a tank filled with carbon dioxide by [[spoiler:Tira]] and dies of asphyxiation.
23	%%* HoneyTrap
24	%%* KnowledgeBroker: Balor Gidderra but Guren is a more reliable one.
25	* ItWorksBetterWithBullets: Jali sets up [[spoiler:Xhen Rinner]] for this when he puts his gun on the table unloaded between them.
26	%%* MakeItLookLikeAnAccident: This is what happens to [[spoiler:Tollan Antilles]].
27	%%* TheMistress: Nami Kotour.
28	%%* MysteriousInformant
29	%%* PrivateDetective: Jali Dawler, and to some extent his assistant Xhen Rinner.
30	%%* ShoutOut: Quite a number to the genre, [[Creator/DashiellHammett Pallavi ''Dashiel'']], the restaurant [[Film/TheMalteseFalcon1941 Blackbirds]].
31	* SmokingIsCool: Jali smokes more as part of the genre, he does come across a rather strange NoSmoking droid when he lights up at a spaceport.
32	* SoundOnlyDeath: This is how [[spoiler:Xhen Rinner]] is killed, and Jali has only a vague idea who is responsible.
33	* SpeechImpediment: Balor Giddera, an informant who lisps.
34	* SympatheticMurderer: Arguably [[spoiler:Tira Sengel]] but more accurately [[spoiler:Xhen Rinner]]. Jali actually feels sorry for them and sees them as victims or tools of the real bad guy Nuada Vekstar.
35	* TitleDrop The Seventh Star refers to a bar in Coruscant's underlevels which is a major location as well as [[spoiler:where some important information is found]]. The white Twi'lek is a [[HookerWithAHeartofGold brothel madam]] who
36	* YouWouldntShootMe: Jali uses this at the end of ''The Seventh Star'' to talk down [[spoiler:Tira]] into not shooting him, and he does [[DefensiveFailure get the gun]].
