Determined to investigate and stop this potential threat to his new Jedi, Luke enlists the assistance of his friend Lando Calrissian, who is searching for answers about the whereabouts of his daughter, who was kidnapped by the remnants of the Empire. Lando has found a lead in the form of Ochi of Bestoon, an assassin part of a cult calling themselves the Sith Eternal, leading the two on a journey to discover and defeat the followers of the seemingly-extinct Sith.Elsewhere, a family of three make a daring escape from the planet of Jakku, determined to run from their own pasts as Ochi, tasked with taking their daughter to the Sith Eternal, gives chase alongside other agents. In the meantime, a Sith acolyte named Kiza becomes involved with the conflict with an agenda of her own. | |

Alcohol-Induced Idiocy | |
| Shadow of the Sith / int_16ddefda | comment |
Alcohol-Induced Idiocy: The catalyst for the tip that Lando mentions in Rise that led to him and Luke seeking out Ochi. Basically, Ochi gets drunk and accidentally boasts of his new gig (and without being aware Lando, by sheer chance, is in the same watering hole on an unrelated matter and in hearing range). This is part of why Ochi fails to capture Rey during the climax. Ochi's propensity for drink leaves him hung over late in the novel when he finally catches up to Rey's parents. It leads to him impulsively executing them instead of interrogating them (though it's worth noting Ochi was also being influenced by his Sith Blade). This also unwittingly helps sell Rey's parents' Batman Gambit (see below). Part of what ultimately does Ochi in. Just after setting down on Parsaana, he indulges in a self-made Gargle Blaster, which might explain why his next move is to take a busted speeder out to a place the locals call "the Forbidden Valley". He almost immediately hits some sinking sands and sinks. | |

Papa Wolf: Dathan does everything he can to protect Rey and keep her safe. Lando pretty much tears down the whole galaxy looking for his daughter. He also wants to look for Rey after he finds her parents' dead bodies. Even Anakin Skywalker has a moment as a Force Ghost, protecting Luke from a Sith spirit attack. | |

| Shadow of the Sith / int_26ac510e | comment |
Mythology Gag: The novel begins with an epitaph quoting part of Matthew Stover's Revenge of the Sith adaptation, specifically the final "this is how it feels to be Anakin Skywalker" section. Anakin's spirit flashes between his older and younger appearances, a nod to his changing depiction between different releases of Return of the Jedi's final scene. | |

With the deaths of Vader and Sidious 17 years earlier, Parshand's spirit inside the Mask sees this an opportunity to claim the seemingly-vacant Sith Grand Poobah role. | |

Batman Gambit | |
| Shadow of the Sith / int_38d02d44 | comment |
Batman Gambit: Miramir grabs a bunch of Aki-Aki beads, figuring when Ochi sees them he'll figure Rey is on Pasaana and not bother giving Jakku, which he's right next to, a cursory glance. She turns out to be right. This partly explains in-story why Ochi Failed a Spot Check and didn't consider that Miramir's claim about Rey not being on Jakku might be a Suspiciously Specific Denial. The other reason it works is because Ochi was hung over and being influenced by his Sith Blade. Ironically, his own crew suggests searching Jakku, but he blows them off as he's now fixated on Pasaana. | |

Artifact of Doom: The old kyber crystals from Exegol, which an old Sith had tried to use as a makeshift Wayfinder. Merely being near a fragment drives a resentful archaeologist evil and insane. He's pretty horrified when it's taken off him. The mask of Viceroy Exim Panshard, an ancient and insanely evil Sith Lord, which still has his mind in it, and those of the many, many people he killed. | |

Bittersweet Ending: Ochi fails to deliver Rey to Exegol, depriving Palpatine of a host body that could sustain his corrupted essence. But it's not much of a win for Rey, as her parents are dead and she's now the property of Unkar Plutt. Luke and Lando likewise stop Kiza and Exim Panshard, but are unable to save and redeem Kiza — and likewise remain unaware of the true, growing threat of the Sith Eternal in the Unknown Regions. | |

| Shadow of the Sith / int_8437cb10 | comment |
Made a Slave: It's revealed that Rey ending up as the de facto property of Unkar Plutt wasn't what Dathan and Miramir intended. Having lived on Jakku for years, they had developed an uneasy business relationship with the Crolute. They thus struck a bargain and his custodianship of Rey was supposed to be temporary. The plan was for them to flee Jakku, throw Ochi and his allies off the scent, and then swing back around to get Rey when the coast was clear. Unfortunately, the plan goes to hell (and Rey's fate is sealed) because Ochi catches up to them just as they're preparing to leave the Jakku system. | |

| Shadow of the Sith / int_8fcb5843 | comment |
The Hunter Becomes the Hunted: During his attempted assassination of Depa Bilaba, Ochi doesn't even think of making a move against her until after Mace Windu has left the area. While he's confident in his abilities and skill at killing Jedi, even Ochi's not crazy or suicidal enough to take on one of the deadliest members of the Jedi Council. When he finally makes his move, however, Ochi finds out too late Mace hadn't left the area after all. Mace knew Ochi was there the entire time and had been hunting the hunter. | |

| Shadow of the Sith / int_9b06e314 | comment |
Greater-Scope Villain: The secretly-living Darth Sidious is the main driver of the events of the story, but he doesn't play an active role in it aside from a brief appearance talking to Ochi. Luke, Lando, and Anakin don't even know that he's alive. | |

Continuity Nod | |
| Shadow of the Sith / int_9dab0a6e | comment |
Continuity Nod: The novel begins with a passage quoted from Matthew Stover's novelization of Revenge of the Sith, framing it as a "warning from a darker time". Thinking of Komat and her relationship with her droid, Lando thinks from personal experience that there's no such thing as "Just a Machine". | |

I Choose to Stay: Lando's decision to remain on Parsaana is given a little extra development at the end of the book, in that he's staying in case Ochi resurfaces (which he won't), but also to use it as a sort of base while he keeps searching for his daughter. | |

Convection, Schmonvection: Luke's fight with Kiza ends up with him being around a lot of molten metal. While he does try to avoid it, he's still able to be pretty near the molten metal with the problem of bursting into flames, provided of course he avoids touching it. | |

| Shadow of the Sith / int_c868a42a | comment |
Freudian Excuse: While Lando does genuinely want to help Luke and Rey's parents, it's also made clear part of his investment in the plight of Dathan and Miramir and their daughter is due to his own grief and uncertainty over the fate of the missing Kadara Calrissian. | |

Deus Exit Machina: Anakin appears as a Force Spirit on Exegol to help defend a Force-Projecting Luke from malevolent Sith spirits. However, the process exhausts him and he has to fade back into the Force when he is finished helping his son, although he does not fully Ascend to a Higher Plane of Existence since he is able to manifest years later. | |

Refuge in Audacity | |
| Shadow of the Sith / int_d45c0b86 | comment |
Refuge in Audacity: As part of their scheme to stop Ochi chasing them, Dathan and Miramir steal his ship out from under him. On seeing what they're doing, Lando's impressed. Their theft of the Bestoon Legacy also neatly fills in the plot hole of how young Rey could've ended up on Jakku and saw Ochi's ship flying off if he had killed her parents. Dathan and Miramir were piloting the stolen ship when it leaves Jakku and Ochi caught up in another ship (thanks to a homing device Pryde had surreptitiously planted while Ochi was in the Corporate Sector). Ochi then reclaims the Bestoon Legacy after killing them and heads for Pasaana, where it will be left abandoned after his death and for Rey and company to find it 14 years later. | |

Canon Immigrant | |
| Shadow of the Sith / int_fc7c4f92 | comment |
Canon Immigrant: After a throwaway mention in Star Wars Insider back in 2014, the Jedi world of Ossus is formally reintroduced into the Disney canon as the site of Luke's New Jedi Temple (while retroactively confirming it was Ossus we saw in The Book of Boba Fett and the flashback sequences of The Force Awakens and The Last Jedi). After a mention in the Episode IX Visual Dictionary, Revan is formally re-canonized during one of the Exegol flashbacks. Lando at one point mentions the Errant Venture, implying Booster Terrik and his stolen Star Destroyer-turned-casino also exist in the Disney-era canon. After direct and indirect mentions in Before the Awakening and Star Wars: Catalyst, the Corporate Sector Authority is also finally re-canonized during Pryde's subplot. Luke's sweet tooth for Hot Chocolate is re-introduced (although the beverage's existence in-universe had already been previously re-canonized during Servants of the Empire and, to a lesser extent, Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge). | |
