Star Wars: The Clone Wars

Correction: The clones may be designed to be reasonably obedient, but that doesn't mean that they're just mindless drones. For the army to be remotely effective in combat, they have to be intelligent, cunning and able to examine and question their situation in order to determine the best course of action to resolve it. It is therefore not unreasonable that, under certain circumstances, a clone could come to question his loyalty to both his team mates and the Republic as a whole.

Correction: The episodes were aired in anachronic order: "Senate Murders", where Ono dies, is set after the events of this episode. There's a list on the Star Wars website for anyone curious.

Correction: The fighter that Anakin refers to, which collided with their stolen shuttle and caused the damage that results in them crashing, was in fact not shot down by Obi-Wan beforehand. The dialogue is in fact perfectly accurate to what happened.

Correction: How could something as simple as having variations in one's speech be a mistake? Especially considering the plot of the series occurring after the Attack of the Clones, in which Jar Jar surely could have gotten more used to speaking in a more formal manner, being among the senators.

Defenders of Peace - S1-E14

Corrected entry: During the raid on the Separatist base, Ahsoka ambushes two battle droids and cuts them in two from behind, shown via the shadows cast on a wall. In the process, the blade of Ahsoka's lightsaber is shown casting a shadow - since the blade of a lightsaber is a light source, being made of glowing plasma, this shouldn't be possible. (00:12:45)

Correction: That's not exactly how casting shadows work just because it emits light. Any light source will cast a shadow from a stronger light. It's canonical that lightsabers cast shadows, being that they are more opaque than just a beam of light (such as from a flashlight). If you can't see through the lightsaber, then light can't penetrate it either and it'll cast a shadow.

The Hidden Enemy - S1-E16

Corrected entry: Near the end of the episode, when Slick says that the Jedi keep the clones enslaved, there is a shot of Obi-wan and Anakin. Obi-wan's eyes are blue (they should be green).

Correction: No, they're supposed to be blue.

The Gungan General - S1-E12

Corrected entry: When the unbelted Jar Jar gets tangled up with the copilot as the ship is hit, the pilot addresses him as "Jar Jar" instead of "senator Binks". Rather disrespectful, considering Jar Jar's current status and the fact that they both are not that intimate.

Correction: When under attack, showing appropriate diplomatic courtesy is hardly a major concern. The pilot needs to get through to Jar Jar fast, so uses his name for emphasis. And a character choosing to show disrespect is simply a choice, anyway, not a mistake.

Correction: Ahsoka and Luminara contacted Kit before Ahsoka left.

The Gungan General - S1-E12

Corrected entry: In the previous episode, "Dooku Captured," we see the pirates drug the Jedis' drinks, but we then see them swap their mugs with the ones next to them. We even see those pirates passed out as the camera pulls back, just before the credits. How then are Obi Wan and Anakin captured at the opening of this episode if they changed drinks? Obi Wan even says, "We were drugged."

Correction: All mugs were drugged because they knew of the skills of the Jedi. The Jedi went down later cause they are stronger.

Rookies - S1-E5

Other mistake: The battle droids - including the commando droids featured here - habitually have two broad fingers and a thumb. So how can a commando droid squeeze itself completely into clone trooper armor without its broad fingers tearing open the gloves, since it can't separate its fingers?

Mystery of a Thousand Moons - S1-E18

Obi-Wan: Very impressive. You just destroyed seventeen defenseless battle droids without suffering a scratch.
[Another battle droid falls apart.]
Anakin: Eighteen, actually.

Ambush - S1-E1

Question: Why did the king think that Yoda didn't get a fair fight? He agreed to see if Yoda could fight the droids, so why did he think Ventress broke her word after she sent out a bunch of droids?

Answer: I guess that 1) the King assumed that Ventress' droids were meant to capture the Jedi, not kill him outright. When she yells at OOM-224 to shoot Yoda, she evidently failed that expectation. 2) Sending out a bunch of Droidekas after it is plain that Master Yoda has clearly won is not a sign of good sportsmanship, either.
