[THE UNCONFIRMED AND UNCOUNTED]
-Queen Bavmorda orders Elora’s mother killed, but this is never shown.
-Many Nockmaar soldiers were probably killed by Airk’s men outside Tir Asleen, but we only clearly see the ones listed.
-There were 5 Nockmaar soldiers outside the castle gate at the climax but we only see one cut down when the Galadoorn army catches up to them.
-Airk dumps a cauldron of scalding hot…something onto a group of twenty or so Nockmaar soldiers but they don’t appear to die.
-Madmartigan kills the Eborsisk and Willow also “kills” animated table-like pot but as these are nonsentient creatures I didn’t count them.
