== Notes ==
* The Yoda Chronicles exists in the same continuity as LEGO Star Wars: The Freemaker Adventures. Both series are non-canon to the main Star Wars continuity.
* Despite the series being named for him, Yoda appears in just one set in this subtheme - a set which was only available as a promotional giveaway during two separate events in May 2013. The two retail sets from this subtheme primarily feature Jek-14 and other original characters.
* Young Lando Calrissian is in the series. According to the Star Wars timeline, he is 11 here.
* The Yoda Chronicles is also the label for 2013 product videos that are similar to the Online Clone Wars Comics.
* The first episode is titled "The Phantom Clone", a take on the Star Wars episode The Phantom Menace, just like the Padawan Menace.
* In parts of the series, Yoda has parts from multiple variants rather than staying true to one single variant. For example, he has the torso from Admiral Ackbar, in some episodes, Yoda has the new Episode II torso and old head.
* Originally, Yoda's Clone Wars minifigure was not going to be used. Instead, the animators planned to use the variant from 75017 Duel on Geonosis. However, this was changed back to the Clone Wars variant before The Phantom Clone aired.
* There is a goof in "The Phantom Clone" where the wrong Yoda variant is used. When Ackbar's gunship makes the jump to lightspeed and leaves Yoda, Mace Windu, and Artoo-Deetoo, the Yoda from 75017 Duel on Geonosis appears. It has a different robe, skin color, and head mold than the variant used in the rest of the episode.
* In the episode 'The Phantom Clone', Yoda's Gunship jumps to hyperspace, something that is impossible for a LAAT/i Gunship to achieve because it didn't possess a hyperdrive.
* There is a goof in "The Phantom Clone" that deals with the bus' laser cannons. The first time the cannons are fired, they emit blue lasers. The camera angle shifts, and they turn red. They then go back to blue and stay that way for the rest of the show.
* Gial Ackbar appears in the series. According to the Star Wars timeline, he is 24 here (20 BBY).
*To add humor, the only thing Bib Fortuna ever says is "Die wanna wanga"- his most famous quote from the movies. In "The Empire Strikes Out", it is translated as "Do you wanna cellphone?" In the Phantom Clone, he uses it multiple times. First, he uses it to threaten C-3PO. Offended, it is as if he says "Oh, do you want to wanga?" (whatever that means). Later, he uses it in a soft and babyish tone to comfort Malakili.
*There is a humorous part in the Padawan Menace in which Cody calls Yoda 'bro', and Mace Windu asks Yoda how he gets to call him that.
* Ackbar's gunship was attacked by Imperial Star Destroyers, which weren't manufactured or used by the Separatists during the assumed timeline, making this another inaccuracy in the timeline.
* In the Menace of The Sith Qui-Gon Jinn says "Thats my boy" to Anakin Skywalker. Palpatine says that to Darth Vader in The Empire Strikes Out
* It was revealed in LEGO Club Magazine that The Yoda Chronicles would continue with a fourth episode on Cartoon Network, and possibly more. 
* Yet when the 4th came out the series was moved to Disney XD since Disney bought Lucasfilm.
* A DVD came out containing the first 2 episodes. Episodes 4-7 were released separately later.
* Attack of the Jedi still has not been released on DVD. 
* When the series was moved to Disney XD it was renamed The New Yoda Chronicles because of copyright claims.
