Continuity[]
- TheAurebesh writing on the page aboutDarth Vader's armor translates as "Sith Trooper Armor". Similarly on the page aboutVonduun crab armor, the Aurebesh at the bottom of the page translates to "A Vonduun Crab Shell-Plated Armor Sith Speeder".
- TheSun Crusher affiliation is said to beAdmiralNatasi Daala. This is an error, as the Empire never used it in battle.
- The Aurebesh writing on the page about fusion cutters misspells the word as 'fuscioncutter'.
- "Missile" is misspelled as "Missle" on pages 26 and 173.
- Luke Skywalker's green lightsaber is said to resembleDarth Vader's lightsaber when it was really modeled afterObi-Wan Kenobi's third lightsaber.
