Behind the Scenes[]
Continuity[]
The events of the junior novelization have substantial differences with the events depicted in the film, most notably during the Attack on Berhert. Instead of Nebula incapacitating Yondu to help Taserface's mutiny, she used a communicator to call on Star-Lord, Gamora, and Drax, who with the help of Ego take down the mutineers and take Rocket, Nebula, and Groot with them and restore Yondu's position as Captain. Therefore, this book holds a non-canon status in the Marvel Cinematic Universe franchise.
