Star Wars: The Clone Wars

Children of the Force - S2-E3

Continuity mistake: When Obi-Wan and Mace retrieve the stolen holocron at Black Stall Station, the device is shown as completely closed and back in a cube configuration. This is despite the fact that the previous episodes of the arc established that Jedi holocrons can only be opened by Jedi, and it was last seen partially opened after Bane inserted the data crystal, with no contact with any Jedi between Bane's escape and the arrival at his hideout.

Children of the Force - S2-E3

Continuity mistake: The opening scene after the narration shows the end of "Cargo of Doom" again, focusing on the clone troopers, but the details are different, including Anakin and Ahsoka disembarking the shuttle with R2 and some of the clones removing their helmets before leaving, when that didn't happen in the previous episode.

Senate Spy - S2-E4

Continuity mistake: When Padmé accesses the holo-table with the droid factory plans, she puts her clutch purse on the edge of the table. After she guesses the correct password, the purse is absent from a shot facing her as the hologram activates, but present in the next shot. (00:15:56)

Landing at Point Rain - S2-E5

Continuity mistake: During the opening briefing with Palpatine, Mace Windu and Yoda, Luminara Unduli attends via hologram. But during the shots where Obi-Wan is explaining the attack plan, and the shot over the shoulder of Palpatine's hologram looking at Obi-Wan and Ki-Adi-Mundi, Luminara is shown as being physically present (i.e. not a blue, translucent hologram). After Palpatine, Mace and Yoda sign off, she's back to being a hologram. (00:02:00 - 00:02:30)

Legacy of Terror - S2-E7

Continuity mistake: After the first encounter with the zombie Geonosians, it's shown there are four clone troopers in the group when they retreat. When Obi-Wan orders two of the clones to try and head back to the surface to get reinforcements, there are suddenly several more clones present. (00:11:32)

Grievous Intrigue - S2-E9

Continuity mistake: When Obi-Wan duels Grievous on the bridge of his Arquitens cruiser, the cyborg General slashes up several computer consoles with some of his four lightsabers. Later, when Obi-Wan sends two clone officers to the bridge to try to detach the ship, the consoles are in the background with no visible damage.

The Deserter - S2-E10

Continuity mistake: After the newsreel, the episode's opening scene is of Grievous seeing Republic ships flying in to land and declaring that he needs to find an escape pod. But only in his second scene in the episode is Grievous informed that the transmitter on his escape pod is broken, prompting him to make that decision. (00:01:25)

Voyage of Temptation - S2-E13

Continuity mistake: Satine and her guards along everyone else who entered the shuttle at the end of the episode disappear - you can easily see inside the shuttle and through the other window.

Senate Murders - S2-E15

Continuity mistake: When Padmé and Bail are walking down the hall after the Senate vote, the top of her right sleeve is miscoloured, with the purple section extending further down than it should on that outfit. (00:21:02)

The Zillo Beast - S2-E18

Continuity mistake: When Mace and Ponds have the exchange that ends with the Jedi General dropping "I have a bad feeling about this", Ponds' kama (kilt) has a blue border instead of the usual maroon to match his armour. (00:08:43)

Death Trap - S2-E20

Continuity mistake: When the alarm goes off, Sergeant Crasher tells his cadets that there's been an explosion and that they'll show the crew how the Clone Youth Brigade does things. As he's saying this, the camera cuts from him to a closeup of Hotshot before back to Crasher, who is walking through the same group of cadets in the exact same way in both shots. (00:10:36)

Death Trap - S2-E20

Continuity mistake: When Commander Ponds orders some other clone troopers to evacuate because he's staying onboard with the Admiral, his kama (kilt) is missing, and his blaster pistols are missing from his holsters. (00:16:46)

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.

More trivia for Star Wars: The Clone Wars

Answer: I would say his death in Phantom Menace was more of a controversy. He was a fan favorite character from the movie, and his fight scene largely regarded as the best part of the movie. It was more he was brought back to please the Star Wars fans and few, if any, had problems with it.
