* AlternateCharacterInterpretation: Anakin's characterization is a bit across the map with him being a highly racist Anti-Jedi (!?) character in the adaptation of the movie. Books by Karen Miller tend to focus on Anakin Skywalker as he appears in the television series, noble and loving to his padawan.
** Is Yoda being a genuine jerk by sending Obi-Wan to Padme to break off their romance right after Geonosis? Or is it a necessary evil thing, given that he's afraid that two headstrong young people, one of them a teenager and the other in her early 20s, might do something stupid if it's not nipped in the bud (like, say, get into a secret marriage)?
* BrokenBase: Post-2014 reboot, this is pretty much one of the few ''The Clone Wars'' products to not be kept in the new canon. Fans are arguing as to whether or not Disney should have made the entire thing canon or not.
* CatharsisFactor: Seeing Palpatine flip out and go spare at the end of ''Wild Space'' when he sees Bail hale and healthy, and figuring out that Obi-Wan is fine as well. It's one of the very few moments Palpatine isn't in control of the situation, and given how usually smug and in control he is, it's just so satisfying to see him struggle to repress his temper.
* HarsherInHindsight: Go [[HarsherInHindsight/StarWarsLegends here]].
* HoYay: A complaint about ''Clone Wars: Wild Space'' contained a great deal of intimate holding and comfort between a near-death Obi-Wan and Bail Organa.
** Anakin and Obi-Wan can be taken this way too, what with all the holding and crying and parallels between Anakin's relationships with Obi-Wan and Padme. Anakin's jealousy over Taria (Obi-Wan's "ex-girlfriend" of sorts) and the fact that Anakin is almost always on Obi-Wan's mind doesn't help much.
* PlatonicWritingRomanticReading: Padme and Bail Organa are (probably) intended to be close platonic friends, what with them being married to other people and all. The problem is that they think "we are both married to other people" every time they spend time alone, or hug, or have a moment. It comes off very "me thinks they doth protest too much." In Wild Space, they also end up holding hands for a moment too long and become embarrassed when they realize it. In the same novel, Palpatine wonders if Padme realizes she's attracted to Bail.
* {{Squick}}: The movie novelisation has at least two instances:
** The conversation Rex had with Ahsoka on Christophsis is expanded a bit. While showing her around the base, Rex and Ahsoka disturb a small rodent between the ruins. Noticing the intense look with which Ahsoka followed the creature, Rex remembered that Togrutas are predatory in nature. Invoking the {{squick}}-factor, he asks Ahsoka to not snack on it while he's watching. Unfortunately Ahsoka's answer doubles the squick: she says rodents [[GassHole give her the gas]]. So not only we get to hear a 14 year old girl talk about her farting to an [[YoungerThanHeLooks apparently adult]] man she just met, we also learn that she did in fact used to ''eat rodents''.
** After they rescued Rotta, Ahsoka gives him water from the same flask she and Anakin used. Seeing this Anakin takes a mental note to never even touch the flask again, let alone drink from it, since it got covered in the slime of the Huttlet. Immediately after Rotta had enough, Ahsoka takes a gulp from the flask, ''without even wiping the mouth of it''. Anakin is outright nausated by just watching her do so, but Ahsoka shakes the foul taste off with a grimace.
* TearJerker: The gambit duology has a few, since it's made clear that for all of their closeness, Obi-Wan still can't fully understand what Anakin has gone through, while Anakin doesn't feel like he can tell Obi-Wan the truth about Tatooine.
* UnexpectedCharacter: Lok Durd, who appeared in a single ''Clone Wars'' episode and was last seen being taken into Republic custody, turns out to be the ArcVillain of the Gambit duology.
* TheWoobie: Obi-Wan Kenobi.
