* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: The cancellation of ''The Clone Wars'' prevented the creators from being able to follow up on the Beast's story and the SequelHook at the end. It was revealed at Celebration 2017 that the planned story involving Ahsoka, Anakin, and Obi-Wan journeying into the lower levels of Coruscant to investigate a Sith temple far below the Jedi Temple would have involved, among other things, the Zillo Beast, or possibly its clone, fighting giant monsters, fulfilling a promise made in the season two DVD commentary that they planned to follow up on the Beast's story in season seven.

Were it not for the fact that [[SavedByCanon he had canon on his side]], Palpatine would've undoubtedly been ousted from his position as Supreme Chancellor for the chaos he caused.
