Continuity[]
- The date provided for the Battle of Lola Sayu on the opening timeline of the "Battles of the Republic" is inconsistent with dates provided for the timeline of the Star Wars: The Clone Wars series in Star Wars: Galactic Atlas and Star Wars: The Clone Wars: Character Encyclopedia - Join the Battle! In its own section, the battle's given date is consistent with those sources.
- On page 63, Mother Talzin is incorrectly stated to have been killed in action at the first battle of Dathomir when in fact, she was killed at the second battle.
- On page 102, the caption for the image in the Interdictor text box says that the image is of the Interdictor Constrainer. However, the image shows the explosion of the Imperial Interdictor, which had been sabotaged by Chopper.
