* SeriesContinuityError: The book claims that before discovering the image of Sidious within the mechno-chair, the Jedi believed he was a lie, invented by Dooku to lead Obi-Wan astray on Geonosis in ''Film/AttackOfTheClones'', and not mentioned since. But in ''Yoda: Literature/DarkRendezvous'', Dooku names Sidious as his master openly to Yoda. {{Continuity Nod}}s to ''Dark Rendezvous'' appear elsewhere in ''Labyrinth of Evil'', yet this discrepancy is not explained.

* MotiveMisidentification: When Obi-Wan briefs Yoda on the mechno-chair's discovery (and the Sidious evidence), he wonders if Dooku might have been telling the truth on Geonosis after all -- that the Senate was now under the control of the Dark Lord of Sith. Yoda dismisses this, arguing the Order had secretly watched the Senate since and found nothing. Besides, if the Sith ''were'' controlling the Senate, wouldn't the Clone Wars be over? Wouldn't the Republic and the Core have fallen to the Confederacy? [[spoiler:The mistake he, Obi-Wan, and the rest of the Jedi are making is that they're assuming a Separatist victory is the Sith's endgame. They never consider the possibility that Sidious ''wants'' his team to lose and that he ironically ''needs'' the Republic to triumph.]]

While on vacation in Mexico, he saw a fellow traveler reading Tom Clancy’s ''The Hunt for Red October''. This inspired the idea of the Jedi hunting for Sidious.

* BatmanGambit: After being implied in ''Attack of the Clones'', Luceno definitively confirms that it ''wasn't'' an accident that Jango killed Zam Wesell with a Kamino saberdart. Dooku was laying a TrailOfBreadcrumbs for the Jedi; he ''needed'' his old colleagues to find Kamino and take possession of the Clone army (and at an earlier point than when the Kaminoans would have eventually contacted the Council).

* InsaneTrollLogic: Throughout the novel, the Jedi Council and friendly Senators (like Bail and Padme) are both becoming increasingly concerned about some of Palpatine's more questionable wartime decisions and his logic behind them. For instance, they don't understand his reassigning half of Corsucant's home defenses (to seize on the Senate's response to his State of the Republic) or opening more and more fronts despite the Jedi's pleas that they're spread thin. [[spoiler: Palpatine's actions, on the other hand, make ''perfect'' sense as Darth Sidious and weakening Coruscant and the Order for the war's endgame.]]
