| 13 | !! ''Before the Awakening'' provides examples of: |
| 14 | * ButtMonkey: FN-2187 gets the crap kicked out of him during his training. |
| 15 | * ForegoneConclusion: Since this is a prequel anthology, we already know that FN-2187 will desert for the Resistance, Rey will obtain the Millenium Falcon and the three heroes will unite to take down the First Order. |
| 16 | * IKnowMortalKombat: Rey has her UniversalDriversLicense because she passed the time playing a realistic pilot sim video game when sandstorms keep her trapped at home. |
| 17 | * VillainWithGoodPublicity: The New Republic can't legally fight the First Order because they can't actually prove they're doing anything illegal and have to settle for funding Leia's Resistance under the table. |
