Plot summary
Continuity
Members appear on the Jedi High Council within the comic who had either died previously or was not on it at the time of the comic, including Depa Billaba who fell into a coma while fighting on Haruun Kal. Their appearance on the Council is treated by this page as non-canonical.
Eeth Koth also makes an appearance who had died at the Battle of Geonosis. However, as of The Clone Wars: Wild Space his death was retconned and was further cemented later by The Clone Wars episode of Grievous Intrigue thus his place is on the Council is no longer suspect.
Finis Valorum's death in the comic was also retconned and nullified by The Clone Wars episode The Lost One. No official explanation of his survival was ever given to reconcile the two events. Given The Clone Wars' T-Canon status, the Star of Iskin exploding with Valorum aboard was decanonized unless Valorum somehow survived or faked his death and resurfaced later.
