Chapter 14 - S2-E4

Continuity mistake: When Palpatine and the others exit the elevator, a rear shot of their group shows that one trooper holds his rifle, but the other is missing his rocket launcher. But when seen from the front again, this trooper has the very obvious launcher hanging from his shoulder, behind him. (00:40:00)

Chapter 14 - S2-E4

Continuity mistake: When Palpatine and his rescuers emerge from the elevator, the characters' positions in relation to each other changes radically despite nobody moving. First shot, the line up, left to right, is Hammer Head, Trooper, female Jedi, Palpatine, Trooper and four-eyes (the 3 Jedi are in the front row, the rest behind). In the next shot, the order is now (right to left, from behind) Hammer Head, female Jedi, Trooper, Palpatine, Trooper and four-eyes (Palpatine now in the front row). Next, a tighter shot has Hammer Head moved to the back row, behind a trooper. Meanwhile, the two troopers keep switching sides, as the rifle is seen at left or at right, while the rocket launcher is not seen at all until the troopers are suddenly together at the left of the screen when Hammer Head yells. (00:40:00)

Chapter 11 - S2-E1

Continuity mistake: When Ki-Adi-Mundi says "Shot him down", he has his shirt on his left shoulder, but when he says "No. We must pursue", he has it on his right shoulder, with nothing on his left shoulder.

Chapter 1 - S1-E1

Continuity mistake: During the meeting in the Chancellor's office, Yoda and Obi-Wan are at opposite ends of the desk. In the next few shots they are sitting much closer together.

Continuity mistake: When Shaak Ti, Ronet Corobb, and Foul Moudama try to get Palpatine to safety, there are two Clone Troopers with them.

Chapter 15 - S2-E5

Continuity mistake: After Anakin and the most recently mutated Nelvaanian free the other mutated, the latter puts his hand on one of his fellow's shoulder. When he does, the control harness the two should have destroyed earlier is still on; in the next scene right after, the harness is gone. (00:53:20)

Chapter 12 - S2-E2

Continuity mistake: When Mace is looking at the Seismic Tank for the first time, Clone Troopers are interspersed with Super Battle droids, but in the next shot, we just see rows of Clone Troopers.

Chapter 14 - S2-E4

Continuity mistake: When Grievous intercepts Palpatine and his escort at the bottom of the elevator, he lands in front of the droid mass. But as the drois raise their arms and march forward, he suddenly stands right inside the first line.

Chapter 14 - S2-E4

Continuity mistake: When Palpatine says he won't be threatened by Grievous, Grievous's hand reaches out for him but it has 4 fingers on it, in the next shot he has his usual 5 once again.

Chapter 9 - S1-E9

Continuity mistake: When Durge attacks Obi-Wan and the ARC Troopers in the Banking Clan's HQ, San Hill cowers beneath the holo-map table. Durge jumps on it, breaking it cleanly in two, and Hill is nowhere to be seen; and after the fight, when the Troopers lift the table fragments apart, Hill is seen cowering and whimpering right behind it.

Chapter 15 - S2-E5

Continuity mistake: When Mace Windu intercepts Grievous at the latter's gunship, Grievous activates his lightsabers while standing on the ramp to his ship's hatch. But when Windu crushes his chest and Grievous starts to cough, he is suddenly standing right inside the hatch.

Chapter 12 - S2-E2

Continuity mistake: After his duel against Dooku, Grievous is seen putting his saber away. When he puts it on the belt, it has no spikes, but in the close up two spikes can be seen at the bottom.

Chapter 12 - S2-E2

Continuity mistake: After Palpatine and Windu have informed them about Grievous' possible location on Nelvaan, Obi-Wan and Anakin discuss the new mission. At first, the two sit quite close together, but in the next shot they sit much further apart.

Chapter 12 - S2-E2

Continuity mistake: When Anakin sucks the worm into his mouth, the sewer map is revealed underneath. But there is also a heap of dirt and bugs on the parchment when he sucks the worm in; while in the shot where the map is seen in full, there are only a few bugs scattered on the sheet.

Chapter 14 - S2-E4

Continuity mistake: When the mutated Nelvaan braves are unleashed on Anakin, and Anakin tries to calm them down, there is a shot of the last Nelvaan male in the mutation tube with his arms free. Before and after that scene, though, his arms are shackled.

Chapter 3 - S1-E3

Continuity mistake: The red-marked leader of the ARC Troopers sure goes through a rapid succession of field promotions and degradations. In Chapter III, he is addressed by Obi-Wan as a Sergeant; when Obi-Wan arrives at the Banking Clan's HQ in Chapter IX, he calls him Commander; and when Anakin returns from his duel with Asajj Ventress in Chapter XX, he is suddenly a Captain.

Chapter 12 - S2-E2

Oro Dassyne: I wonder how many they'll send. We've got so much firepower in here, these walls are ray-shielded. They can't take this fort. It'll probably be, uh, fifty Jedi. They'll need at least that many. Huh, maybe a hundred Jedi! They'll never take this base with less. Ha, they'll need an army of Jedi!
Battle Droid: I have a visual.
Oro Dassyne: Jedi?
Battle Droid: I think so.
Oro Dassyne: How many? A thousand?
Battle Droid: No.
Oro Dassyne: Eighty?
Battle Droid: No, sir.
Oro Dassyne: What? Fifty?
Battle Droid: Less.
Oro Dassyne: Forty? Come on, how many?
Battle Droid: Two.
Oro Dassyne: What?! Give me those!

Chapter 15 - S2-E5

Trivia: In Revenge Of The Sith, General Grievous' first appearance was made notable by his rasping cough. In the Star Wars storyline, the crushing of his chest by Mace Windu in this episode was presented as the logical reason; but actually, George Lucas merely wanted to signify that Grievous is not a droid, but a cyborg.

More trivia for Star Wars: Clone Wars

Answer: Her date of birth is unrevealed. What little is known is that she was found as a child (precise age unknown) by a Jedi who crashlanded on her homeworld of Rattatak somewhere around 40BBY (precise year unknown). Realising her Force potential, he took her as his Padawan and trained her for some years, only to be cut down by a local warlord before he could finish, leaving her to seek vengeance on the warlords who had conspired against him, precipitating her fall to the Dark Side. It's difficult to determine her precise age from all this, but if we assume that she was ten when she was found, and that was in 40BBY, then Asajj would be 28 at the outbreak of the Clone Wars. So figure on anywhere in a range a few years either side of that.
