Notes
- Young Lando Calrissian is in the series. According to the Star Wars timeline, he is 11 here.
- The Yoda Chronicles is also the label for 2013 product videos that are similar to the Online Clone Wars Comics.
- The first episode is titled "The Phantom Clone", a take on the Star Wars episode The Phantom Menace, just like the Padawan Menace.
- In parts of the series, Yoda has parts from multiple variants rather than staying true to one single variant. For example, he has the torso from Admiral Ackbar the episodes, Yoda has the new torso and old head.
- Originally, Yoda's Clone Wars minifigure was not going to be used. Instead, the animators planned to use the variant from 75017 Duel on Geonosis. However, this was changed before The Phantom Clone aired.
- There is a goof in "The Phantom Clone" where the wrong Yoda variant is used. When Ackbar's gunship makes the jump to lightspeed and leaves Yoda, Mace Windu, and Artoo-Deetoo, the Yoda from 75017 Duel on Geonosis appears. It has a different robe, skin color, and head mold than the variant used in the rest of the episode.
- There is a goof in "The Phantom Clone" that deals with the bus' laser cannons. The first time the cannons are fired, they emit blue lasers. The camera angle shifts, and they turn red. They then go back to blue and stay that way for the rest of the show.
- Gial Ackbar appears in the series. According to the Star Wars timeline, he is 24 here (20 BBY).
- To add humor, the only thing Bib Fortuna ever says is "Die wanna wanga"- his most famous quote from the movies. In "The Empire Strikes Out", it is translated as "Do you wanna cellphone?" In the Phantom Clone, he uses it multiple times. First, he uses it to threaten C-3PO. Offended, it is as if he says "Oh, do you want to wanga?" (whatever that means). Later, he uses it in a soft and babyish tone to comfort Malakili.
- There is a goof in "The Phantom Clone" where Commander Cody first appears to get into Ackbar's gunship, but never appears in the gunship after.
- There is a humorous part in the Padawan Menace in which Cody calls Yoda bro, and Mace Windu asks Yoda how he gets to call him that.
- In The Phantom Clone, Ackbar's gunship makes a jump to hyperspace, which, since that particular gunship was a standard low altitude assault transport/infantry craft, it shouldn't have been able to make such a jump because those gunships didn't possess hyperdrives and were rarely used outside of atmospheres because they weren't pressurized.
- When Ackbar's gunship was attacked Yoda make the quote "It's a trap" to which Ackbar replied "Well duh".
- Ackbar's gunship was attacked by Imperial Star Destroyers which didn't exist during the assumed timeline making this another inaccuracy in the timeline.
