Clone Cadets - S3-E1

Continuity mistake: During the first training test, when Fives and Cutup have an exchange where the former tells the latter to flank right and gets a bad pun in response, Cutup is wearing Echo's practice armour (with a number 3 on it) instead of his own, which is marked with a 4. (00:10:38)

Sphere of Influence - S3-E4

Continuity mistake: When Ahsoka suggests that Chairman Papanoida's daughters might be being held on the Trade Federation ship blockading Pantora, she refers to it as a planet. "Trespass" established that Pantora is a moon. (00:06:47)

The Academy - S3-E6

Plot hole: When Ahsoka rushes to save the students when they arrive to meet the prime minister, she attacks several secret police officers, who flee afterwards. However, we later see her standing next to the prime minister acting innocent when she pretends to side with him. The officers she fought earlier would no doubt have told Almec what side Ahsoka is really on, so her ploy never should have worked to begin with. (00:11:55 - 00:13:40)

Assassin - S3-E7

Continuity mistake: The intro states Aurra Sing is presumed dead on Florrum by the Jedi, but the Aurebesh writing in the archives states she was 'last seen on Coruscant'. Impossible. Perhaps the archives are incomplete? (00:03:33)

Pursuit of Peace - S3-E11

Other mistake: During Padmé's big speech to the Senate, Duchess Satine is visible in the background watching at one point. Satine is the ruler of Mandalore, a neutral planet, not a Senator, and thus has no reason to be present at a normal session of the Galactic Senate.

Suggested correction: Mandalorian is neutral in the war, but they are still a member of the Republic Senate.

Nightsisters - S3-E12

Deliberate mistake: At the beginning, Asajj Ventress is wearing an outfit with a long skirt. When she is rescued from her damaged starfighter by the scavengers, the skirt has vanished. This was done because the animators found the skirt too difficult to animate. This is also why she receives a brand new outfit that never had a long skirt later in the episode. (00:08:20)

Witches of the Mist - S3-E14

Continuity mistake: While training Savage, Dooku uses the Force to levitate a number of stone obelisks. While he's doing that, there's a closeup of Savage where an obelisk that is shown floating in the preceding and successive shots is visible behind him not floating. (00:03:36)

Altar of Mortis - S3-E16

Continuity mistake: When the possessed Ahsoka declares that Anakin will be forced to kill her and Force-pulls one of her lightsabers into her right hand, said hand changes positions between the wide shot and the following close-up. (00:12:28)

The Citadel - S3-E18

Continuity mistake: When the commando droids enter the cell where Piell's officers were being held, the damage on the door from Anakin stabbing a commando droid with his lightsaber through it is gone. (00:19:20)

Counter Attack - S3-E19

Continuity mistake: After Obi-Wan's group has abseiled down the wall of the prison, two of the clone troopers in armour are carrying Separatist blasters instead of the Republic-issue blasters they had before and after. (00:09:38)

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.

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.
