* BothSidesHaveAPoint: The Military Creation Act is addressed in a pre-Clone Wars segment, showing why Tarkin and his faction support it and why Padme opposes it: Tarkin wants a navy because the Judicials have clearly failed their job and a larger force is needed, while Padme finds that the ''timing'' is problematic and creating an actual military could turn the Separatist Crisis into open war. They also agree that a large force of proto-Star Destroyers would be a waste of taxpayers money (Tarkin believes a "mere" few hundreds could be used to act as deterrent against invasions from the Unknown Regions or the Companion Besh galaxy, but unless an invasion actually happens they don't really need more).

** One chapter declares the Death Star's weakness as "Thermal exhaust port 5, one of the secondary exhaust ports near the north one", that the exhaust port is of a different design from the others, and that it would be actively venting hot material to make the shot harder and explain it couldn't be particle shielded. The weakness being a secondary exhaust port is directly lifted from ''Film/ANewHope'', where Dodonna explains that the Death Star's weakness is a small secondary exhaust port near the main one and that it's ray shielded but not particle shielded (thus it can be hit by torpedoes), and the visuals shown she has at least ''eighteen'' secondary ports (of which only one leads directly to the reactor and is a weak spot), and the rest from the physics of an exhaust port.
