Believe it or not, a lot of teenagers wore tube tops back in the 2000s. There wasn't as much of a stigma against teens wearing midriff-baring tops, especially since there were still a variety of "third places" where teens could hang out aside from school. And during the 2000s, teenagers were seen as "mini adults" rather than "mega children" (as they seem to be seen today). Ahsoka's outfit was actually very trendy for the Turn Of The Millennium- it's just that it isn't practical for battle.

Planet of Copyhats is a better fit for this scenario. Simply put, Planet of Copyhats is when we only know of one member of a species or demographic, but then we meet more members of that species or demographic and they're all exactly like him/her.


* Watto's design and personality in ''Film/ThePhantomMenace'' were criticized for being an uncomfortable SpaceJews stereotype. In ''The Clone Wars'', his people (the Toydarians) avert PlanetOfHats and act nothing like him thanks to the presence of the ReasonableAuthorityFigure [[TheGoodKing King Katuunko]] as their primary representative.

* The end of the ''[[WesternAnimation/StarWarsCloneWars Clone Wars]]'' micro-series is often celebrated as a great lead-in to ''Revenge of the Sith''. Though Disney has made the ending of the micro-series non-canon through casting it into the ''Legends'' branding, many still regard it as canon and were fearful the final season of ''The Clone Wars'' would completely retcon it with its finale. Thankfullym that wasn't the case since ''The Clone Wars''' four-part series finale focuses more on Ahsoka and Darth Maul while Palpatine's "capture" happens offscreen and is only given a brief mention just as Anakin and Obi-Wan set out to go rescue him.

** Not only that, but similar to the start of the 3D show (which assumes you saw the 2D show and know who Ventress is, and that Anakin is a Jedi Knight and can take on a Padawan), the information we ''do'' get about the attack aligns with CW-2D. Specifically, Obi-Wan mentions that Shaak Ti has moved in to protect the Chancellor but Mace Windu has lost contact with her, which in 2D is the result of the Separatists jamming their communications.

* Some fans felt that ''Film/RevengeOfTheSith'' created a ContinuitySnarl by implying that Qui-Gon Jinn had managed to become a Force spirit after his death. Namely, we see his corpse in ''Film/ThePhantomMenace'', despite the fact that Jedi are supposed to lose their physical forms when they become one with the Force (such as Obi-Wan in ''Film/ANewHope'' and Yoda in ''Film/ReturnOfTheJedi''). Qui-Gon was also not seen with the other Force spirits in ''Return of the Jedi'', even in the updated special editions. ''The Clone Wars'' clarifies that Qui-Gon has not completed his training before his death and thus can only manifest himself as a disembodied voice instead of a proper Force spirit. Later canon works would show that he did eventually gain the ability to appear as a spirit, as shown when he appears before [[spoiler:Obi-Wan at the end of ''Series/ObiWanKenobi'' season one.]]

* While on the subject of doing away with ethnic stereotypes, General Grievous now speaks with a more Americanized accent instead of the stereotypical Eastern European accent he had in ''Revenge of the Sith''. And while Grievous is still not as powerful as his depiction in the 2003 ''Clone Wars'' series, he's shown as a much greater threat than he was in ''Revenge of the Sith'', he's also shown using his smarts along with his power, something never really shown in previous material.

Given that the Martez sisters are even more hated that Lux Bonteri ever was, I don't think this was much of a "saving throw"


* At the Ahsoka's Lost Tales panel, Dave Filoni acknowledged that Lux Bonteri was a BaseBreakingCharacter for his TheLoad status and StrangledByTheRedString subplot with Ahsoka and that Nyx Okami— Ahsoka's [[WhatCouldHaveBeen original]] companion during the Walkabout arc before it was rewritten to replace him with the Martez sisters — was intended to alleviate it by being a more entertaining love interest for Ahsoka. When the series was revived, Nyx was replaced by Trace and Rafa due to Ahsoka's relationships with other girls being more well-received in the past (in addition to Filoni likely acknowledging Ahsoka's LGBTFanbase, if E.K. Johnson's writing in ''Literature/StarWarsAhsoka'' is any indication).

* The whole Holocron Heist arc is an attempt at a saving throw for the Jedi's controversial policies of infant conscription by showing they are willing to work with the parents of the Sensitive younglings to give them a proper farewell, showing it is a voluntary practice (defenders of the policy liken it to closed adoptions), and showing the dire consequences if these children are not placed in the Order's care and left to parents who can't defend them from the likes of Cad Bane.

This trope was renamed


* One of the goofier aspects of the first season was Ahsoka being put in command of experienced clone troopers despite being a Padawan. At the beginning of the second season, [[RealityEnsues the Jedi Council bust her down to her socks for disobeying orders and showing that she's not ready for command]]. From then on, she's given assignments that are more suited to a student than a general.
