* [[Actor Allusion]]/[[Mythology Gag]]: The novelisation says the Jedi [[Sdrawkcab Name|Cin Drallig]] (played by Nick Gillard, the guy who instructed the actors in the original trilogy on sword fighting) is the Jedi order's main [[Master Swordsman|lightsaber instructor.]] He's also in the video game adaptation as a boss for Anakin during the Jedi Temple massacre.
* [[What Could Have Been]]: Anakin was originally supposed to be watching the entirety of the duel between Palpatine and Mace Windu, but they realized that the implications were too subtle and somewhat confusing. This lead to
** A glimpse at the original backstory as seen in the novelization of [[Return of the Jedi]] (as well as strongly implied by Leia's lines in said film) shows us that who is now known as Padme was originally meant to survive Anakin's turn. Imagine the Drama that could have come out of that, as opposed to what many people viewed to be a cheap cop-out as well as a severe butchering of a character who fights a droid army alongside overwhelmed Jedi with her "losing the will to live".
** ''[[Star Wars: Clone Wars]]'' ended up showing the actual kidnapping of Palpatine, which was present in the early drafts of this movie but then passed over to be depicted in that series. The opening battle was originally over 45 minutes in length even after they cut out that part, including one scene having Grievous execute Shaak-Ti in front of Anakin and Obi-Wan.
