* In the early 1990s, ''ComicBook/DarkEmpire'', ''Literature/TheThrawnTrilogy'', and ''Literature/TheGloveOfDarthVader'' were all developed independently as separate continuations of the story after ''Return of the Jedi''. As originally conceived, each essentially took place in its own AlternateContinuity. At the last minute, Lucasfilm decided that this wouldn't do, and ''Dark Empire'' was given some hasty retcons before its release to bring it into nominal harmony with ''Thrawn''. Perhaps because they were aimed at a different and younger audience, no one at the time seemed to be concerned about the ''Glove of Darth Vader'' books being consistent with ''Thrawn'' or ''Dark Empire''. In any case, subsequent EU works took their cues from ''Thrawn'' for the most part, causing ''Dark Empire'' and especially ''Glove of Darth Vader'' to be increasingly sidelined. Eventually, the ''Glove of Darth Vader'' books were given some retcons after the fact to bring them into harmony with the ''Thrawn''-inspired universe that followed.

* Back in the day, EU writers were [[NoOriginStoriesAllowed forbidden from depicting the Clone Wars]] so that there wouldn't be contradictions with the then-upcoming prequel trilogy. However, some EU works got away with using the Clone Wars for backstory, and as vague as they kept the details, contradictions with the eventual prequels emerged nonetheless. Most obviously, it was overwhelmingly assumed that the clones fought ''against'' the Republic rather than for it. The timeline was also different, with the Clone Wars typically pegged as taking place sometime around 30 BBY or even 40 BBY. The Prequel Trilogy and ''The Clone Wars'' would ultimately place the Clone Wars much later, in the years 22 - 19 BBY.

** While the '90s novels placed the Clone Wars in 30 BBY or earlier, a 1982 issue of the Marvel comic went in the other direction, with the Clone Wars being recent enough for a grown-up Leia to be involved. In 2005, the reference to Leia here was retconned into being a reference to Padmé.

* In ''The Empire Strikes Back'', Obi-Wan referred to Yoda as "The Jedi Master who instructed me". ''Film/ThePhantomMenace'' shows Obi-Wan as the apprentice of Qui-Gon Jinn. However, there was a line early in the film hinting that Obi-Wan had been taught by Yoda at some point before Qui-Gon became his Master, and ''Attack of the Clones'' features a scene of Yoda teaching Jedi Younglings, implying that all Jedi children are taught by Yoda until they become Padawans and are assigned individual masters.

However, some of Obi-Wan's lines in the original trilogy such as "So was I if you remember" in response to Yoda saying Luke is reckless seem to imply they had a one on one master/apprentice relationship.

Recent episodes of The Bad Batch and Clones Wars Season 7 have retconned the statements Rex made to Erza in Rebels about his involvement with the Empire as a soldier rather than an opposed party from the start which Bad Batch showed.

* When the ''Film/StarWarsEwokAdventures'' films were made, it was presumed that they took place after ''Return of the Jedi'', hence there being no issue in Wicket learning to speak Galactic Basic. This became a plot hole when it was later established that the ''Ewok'' movies took place before ''Jedi''.
