Star Wars: The Clone Wars mistake picture

Ambush - S1-E1

Continuity mistake: For one shot near the start, the lightsabers on Ventress' belt are behind the buckle, but in all other scenes, they are hung in front of it. (00:03:56 - 00:04:38)

Ambush - S1-E1

Continuity mistake: After the droid advance force has split up to hunt down Master Yoda, the Jedi Master and his clone escorts attack each group on their own. When Yoda ambushes his group, it has six battle droids; but he is seen finishing only four of them. The remaining two just vanish from the scene. (00:10:10)

Ambush - S1-E1

Continuity mistake: After Yoda cuts a hole in one of the droid battle vehicles, and throws the droid out, the following scene returns to Asajj and the Toydarian king. When their backs are shown, Asajj is standing close beside the king, but in the very next shot (showing them from the front), she is obviously a few feet farther from him. (00:17:08)

Destroy Malevolence - S1-E4

Continuity mistake: When Obi-Wan Force-pushes the second droideka in the hyperdrive room, it rolls a considerable distance down the catwalk before striking an approaching squad of droids. However, in a following shot from below, the collision is much closer to where Obi-Wan was standing. (00:15:03)

Rookies - S1-E5

Continuity mistake: When Obi-Wan says, "Unlike you, maybe he's getting some much-needed rest," he's stroking his chin with his hand. Mid-sentence, the scene cuts to a closer shot of Obi-Wan, and his hand changes position. (00:02:50)

Rookies - S1-E5

Continuity mistake: Before the clones retake the base, they have just enough blasters between them for all five of them to wield one each. When Rex is dealing with the commando droid captain, his left holster still has a pistol in it even though he loaned his other pistol to Cody. (00:14:00)

Rookies - S1-E5

Continuity mistake: When Rex starts giving the rookies a pep talk, as well as in the shot afterwards where all the clones grab their helmets, Echo's helmet is missing the binocular attachment. (00:16:28)

Rookies - S1-E5

Continuity mistake: When Grievous calls a battle droid who asks if the Rishi station's destruction was a good thing an idiot, the clasp of his cloak is missing. (00:21:15)

Rookies - S1-E5

Continuity mistake: During the end scene, when Echo and Fives are honored for their services, in the first shot, Echo's helmet is missing, despite his arm being positioned as if he's holding it. When his helmet appears, it's missing the red binocular attachment, which only appears later in the scene. (00:22:00)

Downfall of a Droid - S1-E6

Continuity mistake: Rex's kama (the black kilt-like thing he wears) is missing twice: first when he, Anakin and Ahsoka are looking at a hologram of an AT-TE on the Resolute's bridge, and second when Anakin's trap for Grievous is revealed, and Rex orders the AT-TEs on the asteroids to fire. (00:01:12 - 00:04:10)

Downfall of a Droid - S1-E6

Continuity mistake: At the beginning of the fight with the assassin droids, Anakin cuts off the right arm of the one Ahsoka ends up fighting. Yet during the fight, just before she says "Get back, ya pistonhead", the droid briefly has both arms. (00:12:10)

Downfall of a Droid - S1-E6

Continuity mistake: When Ahsoka asks R3-S6 how the droid's first adventure was and Anakin snaps that he thinks he's lucky to be alive, Anakin's clothes below his belt are missing the black overtunic, leaving only the red tunic below it. (00:20:17)

Duel of the Droids - S1-E7

Continuity mistake: After Grievous has received R3's message, he assures the dismembered R2 that he will not come to harm. We see R2's head lying on the dissection table with his electronic eye dangling from a cable. When Grievous stands up again, just before his MagnaGuards enter, R2 has his eye back in place. It's a brief shot, so you'll have to be quick to catch that glitch.

The Gungan General - S1-E12

Continuity mistake: When Obi-Wan and Anakin snap "YES!" in response to Dooku's question, Obi-Wan's hands, cuffed together with a pair of handcuffs linked by an electrified cable, have somehow moved so the cable on his waist chain is inside the circle of his arms, despite that not being the case when he came to inside the cell earlier in the scene. (00:01:36)

Mystery of a Thousand Moons - S1-E18

Continuity mistake: In the previous episode, the Republic troops blasted huge holes into the Separatist lab to enter it. In this episode, in which the highly contagious airborne virus is unleashed into the facility, the holes are conveniently nowhere to be seen, so it can't get loose onto Naboo.

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

Show generally

Question: Has Dooku ever officially made Asajj his apprentice? I know he is still Sidious' apprentice, but Sidious secretly trained Maul before he killed Plageous (according to the SW Wikipedia), so Dooku could secretly train Asajj. In "Ambush" he calls Asajj his apprentice when talking to the king of Toydaria, but then in "Cloak of Darkness", he tells Asajj that she has to prove she is worthy.

Answer: Dooku never accepted Ventress as his apprentice, as far as I know; he just kept her as his devoted personal assassin. In Phantom Menace, it is stated that there can be only two Sith at a time, to prevent a power struggle in the lower ranks. To accept Ventress as an apprentice, Dooku would have violated that rule.
