User:Asithol/Errata

This page catalogues errors in spelling, punctuation, grammar, usage, typesetting, fact, and logic in printed works.

Some continuity errors within a single work are also listed here. (A "single work" may be a story arc spanning multiple printed volumes if the same individual or creative team was responsible for the entire story.) However, continuity errors between works are outside this page's scope. (Since some such discontinuities end up being retconned, whether a given discontinuity is an error can change over time.)

This page includes instances of deviation from established Star Wars–specific conventions. (For example, by the time of the publication of Young Jedi Knights: Diversity Alliance in 1997, canon had established "sabacc" as a lowercased word, so this book's capitalization of the term is erroneous.) However, it does not include deviations from convention that had not yet been established at the time the work was published—if there was no established convention, it cannot have been an error to deviate from it. (For instance, "Jawa" has been consistently capitalized for a couple of decades now, but it had a lowercase j throughout the A New Hope novelization, before convention to capitalize the term had been established.)

Unless otherwise noted, entries below are from the first edition of the cited work. Later versions, such as a paperback reprint of a hardcover novel, may have different pagination, or may correct errors from earlier ones.

The works in this list are ordered by real-world release date.

This in-universe list is incomplete. You can help Wookieepedia by expanding it.

Star Wars 53: The Last Gift From Alderaan!

This issue and the next one disagree on how to spell two characters' names. This issue says Kéral and Alisande (shortened as Alis) throughout; issue 54 spells the names Keral and Alysande. Both issues have the same writer, so it is impossible to tell which spelling he intended.

This issue and the previous one disagree on how to spell two characters' names. This issue says Keral and Alysande (shortened as Alys) throughout; issue 53 spells the names Kéral and Alisande. Both issues have the same writer, so it is impossible to tell which spelling he intended.

Lando Calrissian and the Mindharp of Sharu

• The book is inconsistent about whether it uses metric units—kilos (page 64), meters (pages 64 and 154), and kilometers (page 84) all appear—or British units—yards (page 53) and feet (page 141) are also used.
• page 42: kind words (of which the governor uttered but few) of threats (of which he had many in supply) should be kind words (of which the governor uttered but few) or threats (of which he had many in supply)
• page 142: "Great Heavens, man, I'd almost—, He had almost forgotten should be "Great Heavens, man, I'd almost—" He had almost forgotten
• Page 134 explains that Lando's consciousness has become far slower than Vuffi Raa's (concomitant with his change in size), requiring Vuffi to speak exceedingly slowly to enable Lando to understand him. Later (pages 145–147), their relative sizes begin to converge (with Lando shrinking and/or Vuffi growing), with their perceptions of the rate of time correspondingly shifting. As this change occurs, Vuffi Raa would need to speak increasingly faster, until, at his normal size relative to Lando, he could speak at his usual rate. If he failed to change his rate of speech, Lando would perceive his speech as too slow. But the author gets this exactly backwards: on page 146, before Vuffi Raa is aware of the change and therefore is slowing his words at the same rate as before, his speech is too fast for Lando; and on page 147, when Vuffi realizes the change is happening, the droid tells Lando, "The previous rate at which I communicated is [now] too fast," the opposite of what would actually be the case in the described circumstances.
• page 165: the paragraph that ends waiting for your emergence there." should have no end quotation mark, since the quote continues in the next paragraph

Showdown at Centerpoint

• Throughout, the book inconsistently abbreviates "communication" as either com (com system on pages 183 and 222; com panel on pages 235 and 248) or comm (comm unit on pages 208 and 216; comm system on page 235; comm access code on page 248)

• On pages 200–206, Jacen, Jaina, and Anakin are able to free themselves from the force field, but Chewbacca, Ebrihim, and Marcha are not, and remain behind as prisoners. On pages 238–239, Thrackan and Thrag see the Millennium Falcon leaving, and see no prisoners left behind, and the narration at the top of page 239 indicates that Thrackan believes all the prisoners are aboard the Falcon. Yet on page 247, when the Falcon begins firing at his pursuing assault boat, Thrackan blames the shots on "miserable whelps," and when the assault boat is disabled, on page 249 Thrag says they've been "Shot down by children." Thrackan and Thrag could reasonably deduce that children were flying the Falcon (as Lando did on page 245), but they had no way of knowing that no adults were aboard, thus that it was also the children who had fired on them and disabled their craft.

Young Jedi Knights: The Lost Ones

• This book features a space station that has been in orbit around Coruscant for several days, employing cloaking technology that has made it invisible the entire time. Near the book's climax, the heroes aim a strong beam of light at where they know the station to be. Page 198 narrates the effect of this: The light should have kept flying across the solar system, but when it struck the empty coordinates, space itself seemed to shimmer like golden smoke. However, if the "invisibility" field doesn't allow light to pass through, nothing on the other side of the station could ever have been seen, meaning it would have been a dark spot in the sky rather than truly invisible. Orbiting the most populous planet in the galaxy, this spot would have been noticed in the time it was there.

X-wing: Rogue Squadron

• By this book's 1996 publication, Star Wars canon had firmly established that repulsorlifts are antigravity devices, but in this book (see, for instance, page 82) they are used as if they generate force fields, able to "push" horizontally, not just against gravity
• page 85: Corran came down, around, and shot past Ooryl is faulty parallelism
• page 190 contains the phrase the man's feet were two inches off the ground, whereas the rest of the book uses metric measurements

Dark Forces: Soldier for the Empire

This book and the other two in this series, Rebel Agent and Jedi Knight, contain so many sentence fragments that it must be assumed this was an intentional stylistic choice. Thus, those are not listed here.

• This book spells side arm as two words (for example, on pages 89, 106, and 118), while Rebel Agent spells it sidearm (page 41), and Jedi Knight spells it both ways in different places (pages 39 and 79, respectively). Either spelling is correct, but it should be consistent.

• page 109: The better part of an hour passed, Kyle bought round after round of nonalcoholic drinks, and refused two offers is faulty parallelism

Young Jedi Knights: Jedi Bounty

Young Jedi Knights: The Emperor's Plague

• On page 31, Boba Fett slices into Bornan Thul's ship's memory banks; then on page 36, just after Bornan's ship self-destructs, Boba sends the message, "I have what I need." On page 44, the protagonists realize that because Bornan had travelled to the plague storehouse, its location was in his ship's "automatic navigation log." If the navigation log was indeed automatic, it carried only coordinates, not metadata on what might be located at those coordinates. So Boba Fett, examining this data, would have no way of knowing whether Bornan had visited the storehouse, or which coordinates from the log corresponded to it. But he tells Nolaa Tarkona on page 48, "I sliced into [Bornan Thul]'s computers and drained the files. I sorted through them during my flight here." (If he didn't sort through them until his flight, then he transmitted "I have what I need" before he knew that he had what he needed. But that could be mere hubris.) He goes on to say that Bornan "went to the place you seek…. His ship's own log carried the precise coordinates."
• Furthermore, Nolaa knows only that the storehouse exists, nothing about its location, which is what she was paying Boba Fett to learn. But upon examining the data Boba delivered, she exclaims (on page 49), "It is here," which she couldn't know until visiting the location.

Dark Forces: Rebel Agent

This book and the other two in this series, Soldier for the Empire and Jedi Knight, contain so many sentence fragments that it must be assumed this was an intentional stylistic choice. Thus, those are not listed here.

• Page 27 uses the phrase once-tidy farmhouses, while page 30 says once white robe. This adjective phrase formation is correct either with or without the hyphen, but it should be consistent.

X-wing: Solo Command

• English convention is to form possessives of plurals ending in s by adding an apostrophe. This book defies this convention by forming most such possessives by adding an apostrophe and an additional s: youngsters's (page 11), pilots's (page 144), X-wings's (page 310), and so forth. However, the book does not even do this consistently, sometimes following standard English: opponents' (page 297), units' (page 315). So even if choosing an unorthodox convention doesn't qualify as an error, not following that convention consistently does.
• Page 8 describes standard TIE Interceptors by saying, Projecting from either side of the cockpits were thick posts, the wing pylons, each about the length of the cockpit's circumference. A cursory look at a TIE Interceptor will show this to be incorrect: each pylon is about the length of the cockpit's diameter, therefore less than a third of its circumference.

MedStar I: Battle Surgeons

• Star Wars in general, and this book in particular, depicts a civilization with the technology to clone human beings on a mass scale while manipulating the genes of these clones to achieve various physiological effects. Plant life is simpler than sentient life, and therefore cloning it is a simpler process than cloning humans. However, the primary conflict on Drongar is predicated upon the fact that a valuable cash crop grows only on this world. The reader is repeatedly told that the planet offers no other strategic advantage to either side of the war, yet fighting over the natural source of this crop is logical only if there is no other way to obtain it.
• page 174: They approached the perimeter, were challenged by the guard, and admitted through the energy shield is faulty parallelism
• page 290: "If you're referring to my latest tone poem," Zan replied somewhat stiffly, "All I can say is—" should not have all capitalized, as it doesn't start a new sentence
• page 290: I-Five explains, My integumentary sensors analyze the mud's chemical composition and viscosity coefficient, then electrostatically repel it. This sentence's structure attributes the electrostatic repelling to sensors, when, by definition, sensors could do only the analysis. Minor sloppiness in attribution such as this is common in human speech, but a droid would not be so imprecise.

MedStar II: Jedi Healer

• This book has the same flawed central premise for the war on Drongar as its predecessor, but adds the twist of Kaird reasoning that a mutation causing the cash crop to lose its potency will exponentially increase the value of the limited remaining supply of the potent strain. Again, this can only be true in a civilization that lacks the technology to clone an organism from an existing sample.
• page 17: A fresh bleeder opened up, sprayed blood in a fan, and Jos suddenly had other things to worry about is faulty parallelism
