* CoversAlwaysLie: One of the covers for #1 include Billaba and Dume on Coruscant during Order 66, and an image of Kallus, who [[AbsenteeActor never appears in the comic]].
** Issue 10 Feature's Caleb dueling Grievous which never happens in the series, and the location is wrong as well.
*** Issue 12's cover features the entire team (sans Chopper) facing a bunch of stormtroopers, indicating a climactic fight between the rebels and the Empire. In the comic, only Kanan and Ezra are featured, and their fight with the stormtroopers takes up only a few pages (some of which occur in flashbacks, no less).
* DarkAndTroubledPast: In issue 7 we learn that Billaba had a run in with General Grievous,[[spoiler: which resulted in the destruction of 90% of her company and she herself was so injured that she was in a coma for six months.]]
* DidNotThinkThisThrough: After receiving the transmission that ordered all Jedi back to the Temple, Caleb steals the ship of a Kallerian called Janus Kasmir and heads back to Corruscant.

As soon as he emerges from hyperspace, his ship is surrounded by clone starfighters because an alert reporting the theft of the ship beat him to the capital.

The series was originally meant to be a five-issue limited one, but following the success of "Spark of Rebellion" a decision was made to continue it.

The second story-arc titled "First Blood" (also written by Weisman) goes even further in Kanan's backstory, explaining how he became Depa Billaba's padawan.

** Caleb briefly mentioned that Billaba had just recently "emerged" from something, and their opposing commander also commented that they had intel indicating that she was unstable. This is a nod towards the now Legends novel ''Literature/{{Shatterpoint}}'', where Master Billaba had a dangerous brush with the Dark side, and ended up in a coma.

* AnachronicOrder: The first arc shows Kanan's last days as a Jedi Padawan, while the second shows how he became Depa Billaba's student and their first mission together.
