* At the end of "Droids in Distress", the half the shipment of T-7 ion disruptors has been destroyed. However, the other half is now in Vizago's possession. Now, instead of the Empire (which had to resort to secrecy in claiming the guns since the Imperial Senate banned them after the Lasat genocide), they are now in the hands of criminals, and we no idea who Vizago's buyer is. Considering these guns can take out starships and have nasty effects on the living, it looks like the Hutts may be having some competition.

* In "Rise of the Old Masters", a throwaway line mentions "another successful planetary liberation through the Base-Delta-Zero initiative". For those unfamiliar with the EU, if it's anything like it was during the Legends continuity, that means that everyone on that planet is now dead, and depending on differing sources, the entire surface of the planet may have been reduced to molten slag. In a best case scenario, the threat of this caused the planet to surrender, but considering what happened with Alderaan, we know the Empire wouldn't have been bluffing.

At best, because the term "initiative" was never used to describe the operation before, we're looking at a proto-Tarkin Doctrine scenario, where the planet may have been reduced to molten slag.

* If [[spoiler: Luminara Unduli is dead, then what was that thing sitting in her cell before it became her corpse? A hologram or a spirit? Creating even more FridgeHorror from people's knowledge of the Legends continuity, there is a Dark Force technique for controlling the restless spirits of the dead and keeping them from becoming one with the Force until the user feels like it (and [[VideoGame/TheOldRepublic used by another Inquisitor]]). If that still applies canonically, then Luminara isn't entirely dead and the Inquisitor is using her faint life-force as bait for surviving Jedi while [[AndIMustScream keeping her spirit shackled to a rotting corpse]] as a SoulJar. CessationOfExistence might not be as horrible a fate as the Sith make it out to be after all, yet they have a very twisted way of enforcing that idea.]]

* In the beginning of "Rise of the Old Masters", Kanan clearly isn't thinking the lesson through. He hands Ezra a lightsaber before he [[IJustShotMarvinInTheFace teaches him basic lightsaber safety]], the cartons are getting thrown at a much faster pace than Ezra can handle, and he's got Zeb and Chopper annoying Ezra despite the fact that Ezra never learned how to work without distractions. Kanan is mostly stalling until he can find Ezra a better teacher, so it makes sense that he's just doing whatever he remembers rather than actually thinking about the lesson. Near the end, when he decides to teach Ezra himself, the lesson's on the ground, there are no distractions, and he's throwing at a slower pace, which are much better conditions for a beginner.

* In ''Fighter Flight", we see the prisoners being housed in open compartments outside of the Imperial transports. While this seems counterintuitive at first, especially considering how easily Ezra is able to get the prisoners out, the fact that the prisoners are clearly visible and that the compartments don't seem to be armored makes you realized that anyone imprisoned in them is basically acting as a HumanShield.

* When the Inquisitor was first unveiled, it was noted by some that he resembled Son, a character introduced in ''WesternAnimation/StarWarsTheCloneWars'' that was the embodiment of the Dark Side of the Force. Because of this, when Son spoke, his voice would shift to feature elements of users of the Dark Side of the Force, such as Emperor Palpatine or Starkiller. With that in mind, the resemblence between Son & the Inquisitor suddenly makes a lot of sense - if his ''voice'' contained elements of the Dark Side users, then it stands to reason that the same could apply to his physical appearance.
