* ContinuitySnarl: A few minor details, but surprising considering how much the novel references other EU books. In one scene, Palpatine attempts to sow doubt about Darth Sidious's existence in Anakin, suggesting there is no evidence of his existence and he could be a fabrication, and Anakin doesn't bother to bring up the holographic recording he and Obi-Wan found of Sidious in the preceding book, ''Literature/LabyrinthOfEvil''. The opening chapters of the book also suggest that the Republic is losing the war when the previous book suggested the exact opposite.

The novelization also rewrites enough dialogue that it's practically an AlternateContinuity to its own film.

* NotIllegalJustification: When Mace Windu tries to arrest Chancellor Palpatine on suspicion of being the Sith Lord masterminding the Clone Wars, Palpatine replies in part that being a Sith Lord is not illegal.[[note]]The later ''Literature/DarthBane'' novels state that the Republic had in fact banned the Sith religion and ideology circa ''VideoGame/KnightsOfTheOldRepublic'', rendering this statement one of the novelization's many {{Continuity Snarl}}s.[[/note]] [[JustifiedTrope This is an additional element of his trap for the Jedi]]: the line is [[DramaticallyMissingThePoint a rhetorical red herring]] since the primary charge would actually be high treason rather than being a member of the wrong religion, but Palpatine is recording the whole confrontation to bolster his cover story for ThePurge that the Jedi had attempted a coup, and does some ManipulativeEditing on it later.

** Palpatine managing to get a drop and kill two out of four Jedis in milliseconds is also given an explanation. A screech he lets out before lunging at the four is actually a powerful technique meant to stun its targets, as such everyone but Mace himself had been put at complete disadvantage.

** Padmé's medical status is also given a few fixes.
*** Nobody knew she was having twins because Padmé herself asked her medical droid to keep the baby's sex a surprise, and it apparently took that overly literally.
*** Padmé ''doesn't'' die of a "broken heart" (although that certainly doesn't help), but because Anakin/Vader's attempted murder of her by ForceChoke caused internal injuries that the medical droids in question missed because they weren't designed to work on humans, and under the circumstances it wasn't safe to bring her to any doctor that was.

* SecretMessageWink: As Obi-Wan and Anakin come to rescue Palpatine, Dooku -- who knows Sidious is Palpatine -- is "terribly tempted" to wink at the supposedly captive Supreme Chancellor, and only manages to resist the urge because "that would never do".
