YMMV / The Corellian Trilogy

• Ensemble Dark Horse: Go here.
• Ho Yay: Lando needs Luke's endorsement to find a bride.
• Moral Event Horizon: Thrackan, holding Han and Leia's children hostage. Also an In-Universe example, as the Corellian culture values family loyalty. This action inspires Dracmus' Mook–Face Turn.
• The Scrappy: Thrackan. Even for a villain, he's hated. The fact that he met his defeat at the hands of nine-year-old Jacen & Jaina and seven-year-old Anakin didn't exactly help to guarantee him a spot among the greatest EU villains of all time. Even worse, unlike most of his more well-regarded fellows, however, Thrackan did manage to stick around as a thorn in the heroes' side for years after these books, rather than getting killed off; he finally met his doom as the Disc-One Final Boss of Legacy of the Force.
• They Wasted a Perfectly Good Character: The Saccorian Triad is responsible for some complex scheming that Thrackan could have never dreamed of, have slightly more layered motives than Thrackan, and have the potential for interesting interactions given how they come from three culturally different species. However, they remain largely off-screen presences while Thrackan The Scrappy gets to be the visible Big Bad.
• They Wasted a Perfectly Good Plot: The efforts to evacuate Thanta Zilbra and Bovo Yaga only get a couple of pages of exposition. They could have added more urgency to stopping the super weapon and provided a bit of color by going into the All There in the Manual backstories of those planets.
• Vindicated by History: The trilogy's plot and villains attracted some hardcore haters when it came out, and some fans still feel that way. However, over the years, many people have come to view the books more tolerantly due to some decent new characters (excluding the aforementioned villains), good Worldbuilding in regards to Corellia, and Centerpoint Station becoming one of the better liked super weapons in the franchise (especially given how long it sticks around for). The increasing number of dark EU books (both in Legends and the new canon) also cause some people to like how this one combines high stakes and Camp fairly well.
