A 'that' clause after a preposition in spoken English

Question

The following is about the several Star Wars comic series.

.................................
I can't comment on Knights of the Old Republic as a comic series as I haven't read it yet, but I've only heard good things about it, apart from apparently it gets a bit silly towards the end.

I'd like to know if you use a "that" clause of the object of a preposition in spoken English.
Thank you in advance for your help.

Thank you, Mr. Micawber, for your So very kind and helpful answer.

Then I was wondering if such cases are restricted to the preposition "apart from, except, and in."

I don't think so.

He lived in fear of that which had no name.

Thank you, Mr. Micawber, for your continuing support.

But in "He lived in fear of that which had no name, "that" is the pronoun," I think.
I'd like to know only about the conjunction "that."

You're right; that was the first 'that' that sprang to mind. I still don't think it is likely that your 3 are the only 3, however.
