Continuity

Insider #130, specifically "The Unusual Suspects: Who's Who in Mos Eisley," exhibits inconsistencies. The mask of Reegesk as pictured differs from its appearance in Star Wars: Episode IV A New Hope. There is also uncertainty regarding the Ranat depicted in this issue of Insider; it may actually be Nevar Yalnal, although Leland Chee has not confirmed this. Further confusion arises with Takeel and Zutton, whose appearances are reversed compared to their depictions in the Decipher CCG. In the Decipher cards, Zutton is portrayed with a full head of hair, whereas the Insider image shows him with patchy hair and a prominent hump. Conversely, Decipher depicts Takeel with patchy hair and a large hump, but the Insider image shows him with a full head of hair and a small hump. The identified images of Mosep Binneed and Tawss Khaa also differ from those used by Decipher. Insider #130 establishes Mosep as having white hair and a topknot.

From Insider #145 onward, behind-the-scenes notes concerning the Rogues Gallery are provided on the Facebook page "Star Wars Sourcebooks."
