Continuity
- The Galactic Explorer's Guide states that Padmé Amidala succeeded Sheev Palpatine as senator of Naboo, however Queen's Shadow had established that Oshadam served as senator between the two.[3]
- According to Fry, the map included in The Galactic Explorer's Guide is not entirely accurate, presumably so as to make it look better on the app. As such, several errors—such as the map's boundaries for the Western Reaches not stretching to Jakku—are present.[4]
