comment
Clone Wars Gambit is a series of five books that expand on the story of Star Wars: The Clone Wars. The first book loosely covers the film, while the others are new stories set in the same era, generally during or between episodes of the show. Originally, Karen Traviss was going to write three of the books, and Karen Miller would write two. However, Miller was later set to write the last novel as well instead of Traviss, who has completely stopped writing in the Star Wars Expanded Universe. Star Wars: The Clone Wars by Karen Traviss—July 26, 2008 The Clone Wars: Wild Space by Karen Miller—December 9, 2008 The Clone Wars: No Prisoners by Karen Traviss—May 19, 2009 Clone Wars Gambit: Stealth by Karen Miller—February 23, 2010 Clone Wars Gambit: Siege by Karen Miller—July 6, 2010In spite of Disney's decision to keep the parent material canon and place everything else under an Alternate Continuity, these works are now no longer considered to be canonical to The Clone Wars, and by extension, the new Expanded Universe and the franchise as a whole.

Not-So-Harmless Villain: Lok Durd, who was very much a Laughably Evil Large Ham of a villain in the sole Clone Wars episode he appeared in, proves to be a surprisingly capable and monstrously vile Arc Villain in the Gambit duology.

Jerkass Ball: Yoda grabs it to a degree in Wild Space. While him asking Obi-Wan to make it clear to Anakin and Padme that they can't be together is reasonable enough, he does so by alluding to Obi-Wan about his painful romantic history and blames him for the relationship developing despite Obi-Wan being the one to warn Yoda and Windu that he didn't think having Anakin guard Padme alone was a good idea. He also shows no sympathy for the fact that Anakin had lost his mother and urges Obi-Wan to be emotionally distant from Anakin.

Continuity Nod: Dooku notes to Ventress that one day, out of arrogance, some Jedi Master might decide to remove the no-attachment rule and let there be families, which will lead into dynasties. Half a century later, this is how Luke runs the new Jedi Order, and a new Empire would be formed from the family of Jagged Fel and Jaina Solo—Luke’s own niece.

I Can Still Fight!
 Clone Wars Gambit / int_ae087674
comment
I Can Still Fight!: This, combined with Only a Flesh Wound, is pretty much Obi-Wan's response to any sort of injury, no matter how life threatening it might be. He gets a bit cranky when his friends bring this up, as he hates showing any signs of weakness. It also ties in to his All-Loving Hero tendencies, as he invariably puts the needs of others before himself, fighting on if there's still a battle to be won or people to be saved.

 Clone Wars Gambit / int_c209fc7
comment
Chaste Hero: Averted. The books take George Lucas' comment about Jedi not being celibate and run with it. The clones are explicitly said to get regular action too. Taria and Obi-Wan both state that she and Obi-Wan were occasionally more than just friends, though it was brief (and it's unclear just how far they went). In No Prisoners, future Imperial Admiral Pellaeon is called on to rescue his Intelligence-agent lover, with help from Ahsoka, Rex, and Anakin, and Master Altis's renegade sect of Jedi (including married Jedi).
