- Bad Export for You:
- Even though the French version conveys Stackpole's Beige Prose 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. Even jokes that were easily translatable were either cut or mangled, resulting in some weird situations. Similarly, some dialogue was significantly shortened, making them sound bland when Allston's originals were excellent.
- The French versions lists the wrong author on Wraith Squadron and features the wrong cover on Iron Fist. People might wonder why Luke, Leia, C-3PO and R2D2 are featured on the cover of a book that features none of them.
- Life Imitates Art:
- 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.
- Due to Corellia being under Imperial control at the time "The Bacta War" took place, Corellian exiles who died away from home were often cremated and gravity wave generators compressed the ashes into synthetic diamonds which were embedded in the walls of the sanctuary.note In an example of Science Marches On, real life methods of creating diamonds from cremated ashes have been developed.[1]
.
- Marth Debuted in "Smash Bros.": This can sometimes happen due to Star Wars Legends not coming out in chronological order. The "ugly" kitbashed starfighters first appeared in The Corellian Trilogy. The X-wing "snoopscoot" first appeared in the Black Fleet Crisis Trilogy.
- Sequel Gap: Mercy Kill came out thirteen years after what previously seemed like the series finale.
