Star Wars: The Clone Wars

Other mistake: During the Battle of Teth (the pillared jungle planet), the AT-TE's shoot the ledge at the top and there's not a single mark on the ledge afterwards, despite being hit with several joules worth of fire.

Continuity mistake: When R2-D2 closes the door to the platform in the back of the monastery (before Asajj attacks Ahsoka), Asajj stabs both of her lightsabers through the door, a few inches apart from each other, and starts moving them downward. In the next shot, on the other side of the door, there is already a solid line (the top of the circle) cut into the door. There wasn't enough time for her to have stopped and connected the space between the two holes. (00:45:40)

Continuity mistake: When Asajj is reporting to Dooku and she tells him to wait (before Obi-wan shows up), you can see in the hologram that she ignites both of her lightsabers and turns around. However, in the next scene (at her location), there is no sign of a hologram transmitter/projector, which she would have been using to talk to Dooku. There is just a door and some battle droids in front of her. Even if she was using the handheld device that is shown earlier in the movie, there wasn't enough time for her to have put it away and gotten her lightsabers out, since Dooku's point of view shows her already turning toward Obi-wan.

Continuity mistake: When Asajj Ventress starts to make the clone trooper move up the wall (before asking where Anakin is), her eyes are green as she raises her fist at him. When she uses the mind trick and tells him to contact Anakin, her eyes are blue.

Other mistake: During the Battle of Teth, a walker fires at one of the pillars. In the next shot, it hits the very top ledge. Problem is it was actually aiming at the middle, as was the other walker.

Continuity mistake: When Ahsoka and Anakin are using the box to sneak through the droid army, Ahsoka eventually stands up. The shot shows the road ahead of them is completely empty. However, in the next shot, they are walking under the box and they run straight into a destroyer droid. (00:18:12)

Revealing mistake: When Anakin, Ahsoka, and the clones begin their ascent to the monastery on planet Teth, the ascension cable of one clone trooper (second from the front when the shot begins) is not animated correctly and a gap can be seen between the end of the cable and the clone's blaster. (00:35:35)

DaemonUmbra

Continuity mistake: When Asajj and Obi-wan start fighting, she throws her skirt at him and he cuts it with his lightsaber. During the rest of the fight, there are a few shots that show more of the floor or the entire floor area, but the pieces of the skirt have disappeared. (01:01:15)

Continuity mistake: When Obi-Wan calls Commander Cody and orders him to send the gunships, the orange visor on Cody's helmet is missing. (00:56:24)

Rex: Who's the youngling?
Ahsoka: I'm Master Skywalker's Padawan. The name's Ahsoka Tano.
Rex: Sir, I thought you said you'd never have a Padawan.
Anakin: There's been a mix-up. The youngling isn't with me.
Ahsoka: Stop calling me that! You're stuck with me, Skyguy.
[Rex starts chuckling.]
Anakin: What did you just call me?! Don't get snippy with me, little one! You know, I don't think you're even old enough to be a Padawan.
Ahsoka: Well, maybe I'm not. But Master Yoda thinks I am.
Anakin: Well, you're not with Master Yoda now. So if you're ready, you better start proving it. Captain Rex will show you how a little respect can go along the way.
Rex: Er ... Right. Come along, youngling.
Ahsoka: [through gritted teeth.] Padawan.

More trivia for Star Wars: The Clone Wars

Question: Are the events in this movie going to be considered canon for the time between Episodes II and III, or will the events in the Clone Wars TV show be considered canon, or both (if the events in the movie possibly take place after those in the show)?

Answer: Canon in the Star Wars universe is a somewhat complex term as it has several levels ordered in a hierarchy of precedence. Facts stated at a certain level are considered as canon, unless contradicted by something at a higher level of canonicity. The uppermost level of canonicity are the six live-action films. Lucas has stated that the television episodes (which include the Clone Wars movie, which can be considered as the first episodes of the TV series) are to be considered as the next level down in canonicity, so below the films, but above any other releases (books, comics and so forth). So, basically, yes, they're to be considered canon, except in any case where they contradict something established in the live-action films.
