Awesome / The Callista Trilogy

Go To

  • The only genuine such moment - and probably the only proper crowning moment Admiral Daala ever manages - occurs in Darksaber when she gasses the Imperial warlords and unifies all of their fiefdoms when it becomes clear that they won't stop their feuding and fight the New Republic. Too bad her absolute failure to capitalize on the result undermines it.
    • One of the Imperial warlords gets one in that scene. While the others are panicking, begging for mercy or trying to escape, he calmly and methodically assembles his medals and decorations into a bladed weapon with the intent of taking Daala with him. Even though he fails to reach her before dying, Daala is impressed by his focus and determination.
  • Leia fighting and killing Beldorion the Splendid, Hutt Jedi, in Planet of Twilight.
  • During the attack on the Jedi Temple in Darksaber, R2-D2 destroys an AT-ST walker by himself by luring it into a hanger and crushing it beneath the blast door. He even whistles a victory cry and resets to do it again.
  • The biggest has to go to Dorsk 81. Unsure of himself since he left home, he finally gains full confidence in his abilities. He calms down the Jedi trainees and has them pool their strength. Using that strength, he uses the Force to physically push 17 Imperial-class Star Destroyers completely out of the star system in what is arguably the most powerful example of Force Push in Star Wars lore, Legends or Canon. It kills him, seemingly cooking him from the inside. It's all summed up with one word:
    Dorsk 81: Move!
  • The way Callista alone destroys the Knight Hammer, causing all TIE bombers in a hangar full of them close to the ship's engines to fire their weapons to the bulkhead separating both, destroying the engines and leaving the Super Star Destroyer without both power and propulsion on an infall trajectory towards Yavin.
