Behind the scenes
Although in Revenge of the Sith Plo Koon was flying above the cities of Cato Neimoidia, Into the Unknown shows his death at the orbit. Stass Allie shown being killed in a rocky desert environment, while the film shows her in a much wetter environment on Saleucami. Also, unlike in the movie, there are three speeders behind Stass Allie, as opposed to two; she herself rides a BARC speeder, instead of a 74-Z speeder bike. The clones on the speeders use blaster pistols instead of the blasters on their speeders.
