Tropes in this collection include:
- A Day in the Limelight: The collection gives the spotlight to a number of secondary and background characters from Return of the Jedi.
- Adaptation Name Change: Several guards on the second skiff at the Sarlaac pit and two of the scout troopers who chase Luke and Leia receive names that differ from the All There in the Manual names they had in Legends.
- Adaptational Sexuality: In Legends there was never any indication that Wes Janson was interested in anything but women, while in a couple of stories here he flirts with Lando prior to the Battle of Endor.
- Ascended Extra: Many of the characters, but notably Jess, Sim Aloo, and Karie, all of whom are only briefly seen in the film and had most scenes involving them cut.
- Bait-and-Switch: The Steadfast Solider starts off with people on Coruscant cheering that the Empire has won the Galactic Civil War against the Rebels and restored the peace, while Enric Pryde laughing at the fireworks blasting at the sky, though it cuts to Endor and reality comes back that the Empire lost on Endor, showing that the victory party was All Just a Dream and Pryde was on Death Sticks.
- Call-Back:
- One of the rioters in Coruscant mentions his family on Jedha was killed by the Empire.
- Dex asks the young girl, Vekin Menez, why she would show kindness to the Stormtrooper and protect him despite the angry mob's protests, similar to Hunter asking Omega why she would show kindness to Roland even after he took over Cid's bar.
- Commonality Connection: After spending the last two books bickering, the Whills chronicling the events of the Original Trilogy finally find some common ground over their shared love of the Ewoks.
- Deadly Decadent Court: Palpatine's advisors are portrayed as Smug Snake Hate Sinks who get on each other's nerves and spend more time plotting and rambling than they do accomplishing anything.
- Death by Adaptation: Rogue Squadron pilots Will Scotian, Cinda Tarheel, and Tomer Darfpen are all shot down and presumably (albeit not explicitly) killed during the Battle of Endor when Tomer survived the Galactic Civil War in Legends and Cinda and Will presumably did as well.
- Demoted to Extra: The Whill writing about the events of Return of the Jedi apparently did this to Joh Yowza due to his dislike of him.
- Does This Remind You of Anything?: Jess's story of having to be one of Jabba's slaves in order to settle her father's debt, only to suffer abuse from him and his court almost sounds like the abuse various girls suffered from major A-List celebrities and sexual predators, such as Jeffery Episten, Hugh Hefner, Donald Trump, and Harvey Weinstein.
- Dramatic Irony:
- Enric Pryde finds Vader's corpse from the funeral pyre and is shocked that the Rebels captured and killed him, since he was nearly unstoppable, having seen the Dark Lord of the Sith in action himself. The real circumstances of the truth are a little more complex, though.
- The Sarlacc ends its tale bearing witness to Boba and Fennec arriving, hoping to engage in a more civil conversation with the former, unaware that it's about to be killed by Fennec.
- Earn Your Happy Ending: Anakin finally gets his Jedi Master robes after becoming one with the Force. Obi-Wan tells him the robes have chosen him, since he finally understands what it meant to be a true Jedi.
- Everyone Has Standards: Despite Dex not having any real love for the Empire and not wanting to participate in the celebrations of Palpatine's demise, even warning Kamose to not be anywhere near the Imperial Palace, he is appalled when the rioters try to throw a Stormtrooper over the edge, making them no better than the Imperials themselves.
- Fully Absorbed Finale: Mike Chen's "Brotherhood" serves as a coda to his 2022 novel of the same name.
- Good Morning, Crono: "The Extra Five Percent" starts with Karie being awoken early from her sleep by a message from Lanna summoning her to Yellow Squadron's ready room.
- No OSHA Compliance: Discussed in "Twenty and Out", where Corr claims that lack of safety regulations in Imperial facilities is the number one cause of Imperial personnel deaths, even more than combat with Rebels.
- Self-Deprecation: In "Fancy Man" (written by Lucasfilm artist, Phil Szostak), the music genre Max Rebo performs, Jatz is said to be known by many names, "some less palatable than others". For reference, Jatz was previously known as "Jizz" in Legends.
- Sequel Hook: The two Whills begin discussing ideas about chronicling the events of the Prequel and Sequel trilogies, suggesting that the From A Certain Point of View series could continue in the future.
- Villain Decay: FS-451, after accompanying Vader during the Cloud City fiasco suffers from this during The Steadfast Soldier, having become addicted to Death Sticks on Endor.
- You Are Better Than You Think You Are: After Anakin sacrifices himself to save Luke from Palpatine, he still worries about the damage he caused as Darth Vader, such as killing Obi-Wan Kenobi, his old Jedi Master, aboard the first Death Star. Obi-Wan himself tells his former Padawan and brother that him saving his son was the best thing he did before death, while Luke, Leia, and the Rebellion managed to save the Galaxy from Palpatine and his Empire.
