I've mostly been enjoying this show on the cartoon network but there were several whoppers in the latest one that really had me rolling my eyes.
1. A Republic Cruiser is under attack, out of control and "entering the atmosphere" of a planet, yet clear blue sky is shown all around it. (I'm gonna free fall out into nothin' Gonna leave this world for a while...)
2. People standing without pressure suits or oxygen tanks in an open-sided gunship at a higher altitude than the above-mentioned ship. (Sometimes, all I need is the air that I breathe...)
3. The cruiser shows visible signs of heating due to atmospheric friction yet the gunship which has to fly faster to catch up with it does not, nor do the people standing in the open hold feel any ill effects. (Feeling Hot hot hot!)
4. A ship's hyperdrive is accidentally activated while still inside the atmosphere of the planet and the ship speeds off, undamaged. (I've got the pedal to the floor, My life is running faster. I'm out of money, out of hope, It looks like self destruction...)
5. The randomly pointed ship is headed straight for a star and will impact it if control is not regained. (Space is big, really big...)
6. Control is regained a moment before impact and the ship is steered around the star skimming just above the surface. The curve of star is visible as ship passes behind it. (You are my lucky star...)
7. Ship reaches habitable planet seconds after passing star, but after control is (somewhat) regained and dropping out of hyperspace.* (Space is big, really big... pt.2)
This all happens in about the first five minutes and I didn't bother watching the rest. The episode is number 13 and it's called Jedi Crash. I did find a YouTube video of the opening:

It has everything but the passage by the star and the crash landing.
*I guess that might work since the star is apparently only a few miles across.
Edit: Also, sorry for killing all the catgirls.
