Consistency with Other Sources

The book incorrectly states on page eight that Cay Qel-Droma was responsible for the death of Satal Keto. However, the original comic clearly shows that Ulic Qel-Droma, his brother, committed the act.

On page nine, the book claims the Brotherhood of Darkness was established around 2000 BBY by a rebellious Jedi Knight. It further suggests that Lord Kaan was merely the latest leader of the group. This contradicts other sources that identify Lord Kaan as the founder of the Brotherhood. Multiple sources indicate that Darth Ruin established an empire in 2000 BBY, and The Essential Atlas (2009) states that the remnants of Ruin's Sith empire fell alongside the Republic in 1100 BBY. The page also mentions the Jedi Temple on Coruscant was built after the Seventh Battle of Ruusan, but Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic II: The Sith Lords and Star Wars: The Old Republic establish that a temple existed on Coruscant before that battle.

The book makes an indirect reference to Tyvokka, but incorrectly states he died in the Fifth Battle of Qotile.

The entry for Saesee Tiin incorrectly states that he was killed during the First Battle of Geonosis. In reality, he survives until the beginning of the Great Jedi Purge.

On page 117, under Even Piell's description, it is mentioned that A'Sharad Hett was Piell's Padawan during the Malastare mission. However, the comic book Emissaries to Malastare shows that Hett was the Padawan of Ki-adi-Mundi.
