Behind the scenes
The third season of the animated series Star Wars: Clone Wars was loosely based on this novel. However, the series was only based on early plot outlines, therefore, there are several inconsistancies between this novel and the animated series:


 * In the novel, several different Jedi attempt to rescue the Supreme Chancellor. In the series, a trio of Jedi Masters made up by the Togruta Shaak Ti, the Ithorian Roron Corobb and the Talz Foul Moudama attempt to rescue him.
 * In the novel, Mace fights on a train against Grievous. In the series, Cartoon: Mace Windu fights alongside Yoda against droids.
 * In the novel, Anakin and Obi-Wan search for Darth Sidious. In the series, Anakin and Obi-Wan investigate a possible base for Grievous on frigid Nelvaan, and Anakin goes on a spiritual journey.
 * In the novel, Roron Corobb and Foul Moudama are killed very quickly along with two other Jedi. In the series, they are shown on a long chase trying to save Palpatine.
