200 Moons Ago?
I don't know how the Willow timeline even work but 200 moons would be 200 years so the characters from the film aged but are still alive, some characters from the original film aged 34 years and are still alive with Sorsha's children still alive.
- A moon usually means a new moon (or a full moon), so in our world it's every 28 days. 200 × 28 = 5,600 days.
5,600 days ÷ 365.25 = 15.3 years.
So 200 moons means 15 years and 4 months, which works.
- So Kit and Airk are 14?

Bone Reavers.
Apparently all the bad things about them is propaganda and lies, and the Bone Reavers are lovable outcasts who were oppressed by Nockmaar and Galladoorn, and Jade is actually a Bone Reaver who was kidnapped by Tir Asleen because they too are the real monsters. Except that the Bone Reavers were led by Kael, and no-one seems to have a problem with that, despite Kael being as Obviously Evil as they come. It's also hard to believe that the Bone Reavers are but victims of circumstance when the first thing that happens past the Barrier is that Bone Reavers try to murder the group of teenagers, a rather elderly knight and Boorman, and succeed in murdering Kase, who's apparently known and possibly taught the twins (and probably Jade) since they were children. The Bone Reavers also seem to be definitely bandits and probably actual murderers, given the human bones lying around their forest and the human skulls they wear as hats.
Let's ignore the fact that, slaves or not, Kael and the Bone Reavers were major players in Bavmorda's reign of terror, which decimated Galladoorn and destroyed what was believed to be the world's last chance at not being conquered by evil. Why are our heroes so quick to forgive their attempted murderers and have a forest rave and do magic Jell-O shots? Why aren't at least Kit and Jade more upset that a respected knight and possible mentor was murdered right in front of them? Are they not bothered by the murdering/skull-wearing thing, or are those just really convincing paper mache masks? Was it odd that Kit apologized to Jade for Kit's dad killing Jade's dad when the latter was actively trying to murder the former, as well as Kit's mom, Willow and Elora, after just murdering Kit's dad's friend and her twin brother's namesake?
Scorpia's use of "Daikini."
In her Rousing Speech, Scorpia says that the Bone Reavers would "serve no master... Daikini or Troll or Crone." Daikini refers to "humans" in the world of Willow, but it's specifically a Nelwyn word - literally, "Tall Folk/Tall Person" - and presumably "humans" would use their own word, especially since all the Nelwyn that currently exist come from the Valley, and there are none among the Bone Reavers. Why would Scorpia use "Daikini," then?
Graydon's crush.
Minor, but Graydon knows that Dove/Elora and Airk are involved from the start, right? She talks about it pretty openly in the first couple of episodes and repeats it throughout, even in the mines, when Graydon is actively trying to talk about the 'connection' he thinks he and Elora have. It just seems a little weird that he'd keep trying to flirt with/confess to someone when they're willing to put themselves into grave danger for their current relationship, even given Graydon's social awkwardness.
Kit and Jade's relationship status.
Kit sneaks into Jade's room and kisses her in bed in Episode 1, yet they spend most of the rest of the series acting as if it didn't happen and they're both still convinced the other only sees her as a best friend, and they act equally oblivious and flustered when it's clear that the other party-members know they're more than friends. Even if they might not have put their relationship in concrete terms, wouldn't the kiss alone be enough to move the needle past "Platonic Gal-Pals" for both of them?
"The Wildwood is seductive."
Episode 5 seems to set up the Wildwood as a Lotus-Eater Machine that traps victims with seductive illusions. However, nothing like that happens. The Bone Reavers and Brownies living there suffer no negative effects and even the Trolls seem to come and go as they please.- Probably a rumour deliberately spread by the Reavers to keep people away.
- It's the former home of Cherlindrea, who was some kind of... forest spirit? Greater fairy? Something along those lines, and at the time of the movie, it was inhabited by both brownies and fairies. By the time of the series, only the brownies are left and it's unknown how often they interact with anyone else, but it's likely that rumors of the Wildwood being bewitching or otherwise enchanted are remnants of when Cherlindrea and the fairies were around, and when the brownies (who were apparently notorious for pranking people) were more active.
Tir Asleen succession
Sorsha was Princess of Nockmaar, not Tir Asleen. She married Madmartigan, a disgraced knight of Galladoorn. So how did they become the Royal Family of Tir Asleen?- Deleted scenes from the original film reveal that Sorsha's father was the rightful king of Tir Asleen - he was one of the people Bavmorda had frozen in crystal there.
- It was also included in the movie novelization, so we can at least assume it's likely canon unless the series explicitly says otherwise.
