Synopsis

• Betrayal marks the first major rupture between the Skywalker and Solo clans. Until now both groups have supported and worked together to better the galaxy. However, significant differences about how to resolve the growing conflict between the Galactic Alliance and Corellia force Han and Leia Solo to make a difficult decision that will ultimately lead them down a path in opposition to Luke Skywalker and the Jedi.

• The Legacy of the Force series revolves a great deal around Jacen Solo and how the emerging galactic war will drive him to follow a previously unthinkable path.

• Betrayal marks the return of Lumiya, the Dark Lady of the Sith, who has not been seen or heard of for several decades. Lumiya is one of Emperor Palpatine's former 'Hands', a member of a group of Force-sensitive agents trained in the Sith arts to carry out dark missions, of which Mara Jade Skywalker was once a member.

• Betrayal also marks a major change in Jacen Solo's personality. Once sensitive to the flows of the Force and all life around him, he has become distant and cold, no longer hesitant to take life if it furthers the chances for "peace" in the galaxy. It appears that Jacen has also become more adept at using his unique Force-powered ability to visualize the paths of fate and future events. Several times throughout the book, Jacen determines his course of actions based on which "path" he envisions will lead to the most desirable outcome. He has become so reliant on this ability that he has even begun to shun advice from his uncle Luke and other members of his family who cannot, in his mind, comprehend how their actions can affect future events.

• Through Lumiya, Jacen's concepts of the light side of the Force being inherently good and the dark side being inherently evil are shattered. As Lumiya suggests, it is not the light or dark side of the Force that determines what kind of actions a person takes but what kind of person they were before they learned to use the Force. Lumiya compares and contrasts this theory by using the examples of Darth Vectivus and Darth Sidious (Palpatine).

• Vectivus was once a good-hearted man who was disciplined in his early life before he began walking down the path of the dark side, and as such was able to wield it in a supposedly benevolent and peaceful way. Palpatine, on the other hand, was greedy and desired only to control, and as such become an evil and destructive dark side user. Lumiya even suggests that wielders of the light side can be 'evil' in that they become so adhered to concepts of justice and rule of law that when governments eventually fall into corruption, they will seek to remake the galaxy in their image of order.

Description and Design

• Was of unusual design. At the core was a disc two kilometers across, three hundred meters thick, its edges beveled and smoothed like an ancient, polished credcoin, its surface thick with glowing viewports in ever imaginable color, blue predominating.
• From the edge of the disc, at regularly spaced intervals, radiated a dozen narrow spokes a quarter kilometer across, forty meters high at its thickest point; six were triangular, affixed to the spokes on one point of the triangle. The discs alternated with the triangles, giving the station symmetry of design.
• Was known as a place of recreation and competition, negotiation and romance, cold-blooded calculation and hot-blooded rage.
• Core disc was an environmental of hotels and shops, gardens and waterfalls.
• Hotels did not offer single-room accommodations; the lowliest quarters available for rent were lavish suites whose daily rent was equivalent to the yearly earnings of a middle-class family.
• Here corporations and merchant clans leased or maintained suites, entertained holodrama stars, made business deals that dictated the fates of thousands of occupations and lives.

Errors

• The character name "Lysa Dunter" from the Dramatis Personae and her first appearance is later given as "Lysa Dunton"
• Due to the date change from 37 years after ANH to 40 years afterward, an editing mistake accidentally moved Zekk's age from a few years older than Jacen and Jaina Solo to a few years younger. It has been acknowledged as an error.
• Many discontinuities exist between characterizations, character traits, and descriptions of events between Betrayal and The New Jedi Order (among other sources).^{[citation needed]} Such include: Jacen's view of the "sides" of the Force, Vergere's character descriptions, and what really happened with Palpatine after Return of the Jedi.^{[citation needed]}
