Chapter 2: The Child - S1-E2

Other mistake: To look for the beast wanted by the jawas, the Mandalorian enters the cave and uses a flashlight. But as it was easy to presume, and we see in the following episode, his scope can detect lifeforms and heat signatures even through walls.

Chapter 2: The Child - S1-E2

Continuity mistake: The jawas are about to leave; during the scene, the position of the shadows on the ramp of the sandcrawler keeps changing between shots. It is subtle at the beginning when it's just Kuiil, but as a battered up Mando returns with the egg, it's very apparent. (00:22:00)

Chapter 2: The Child - S1-E2

Continuity mistake: Mando dropped the blaster gun and just stepped out of the trailer to join Kuiil with the jawas. The Child is looking at him, but from a different spot between shot and reverse, as you can notice by the gaps in the railing. (00:14:00)

Chapter 2: The Child - S1-E2

Revealing mistake: When the Mandalorian is looking at the Jawas through his scope, the readings from the HUD are always the same graphics repeated in a loop; 53035, 64146, 75257. The first two are the exact same as the previous episode when the beast attacked him. (00:05:45)

Season 1 generally

Other mistake: In the first episode, Mando's job appears to get the baby preferably alive, but "proof of termination is also acceptable, for a lower fee." This makes not much sense per se (The Client is shown in the last episode as being subservient to Moff Gideon and he wants the Baby alive), but in the rest of the series it's even worse, since when we see people trying to kill the Child they do it in a suicidal manner (the guy turning his back to Mando to try and axe the kid) or that wouldn't leave a body to retrieve blood from (sniper from distance in 1.4) or any remote proof (pilot that would blow the ship, no ion cannon, in 1.5).

Chapter 1: The Mandalorian - S1-E1

Other mistake: Even if the structure of the door was damaged by the shots shown, Mando, who sprinted to it with remarkable celerity considering he just finished shooting, wouldn't have enough strength to just kick it open (it's visually implied that they took one door each). Needless to say also if the gun was able to punch holes into walls, it should have damaged the unarmored enemies maiming their bodies - obviously it's a limitation due to rating. (00:34:00)

Chapter 1: The Mandalorian - S1-E1

Continuity mistake: IG-11 runs its diagnostic, and then tells Mando the outcome. Between shots, the antenna/camera spinny things on his head are in different positions, and Mando is in two very different poses; his right hand was on top of his left wrist, his arm is lowered in the second shot. (00:34:00)

Chapter 1: The Mandalorian - S1-E1

Other mistake: Mando and the droid have trouble dealing with enemies that pin them down into the doorway overwhelming them with firepower, even before the big machine-gun-like weapon is brought in. Then Mando hops on it, and suddenly all the firepower the enemies had and that had the heroes unable to move is gone, entirely, they can't shoot at him when he's a static target, and actually stick all out like perfect targets leaving their cover.

Show generally

Other mistake: The weaponsmith is smelting Beskar in a furnace in the first episode and the metal is liquid without any sort of incandescence. In the credits roll of episode 3, the artwork shows it red-hot, and in the season 2 finale we see it actually getting red-hot.

Chapter 1: The Mandalorian - S1-E1

Continuity mistake: Having got the mysterious mission from the Imperial, Mando heads back home to his not-really-so-secretive commune with kids and everything. When he gets in sight of the blacksmith character, he is putting down his long, staff-like weapon. From behind, he is switching it to his left hand, but in the reverse shot he is using his right hand. (00:18:50)

Chapter 1: The Mandalorian - S1-E1

Continuity mistake: Imperial hideout. A person enters the room causing (for some reason the bounty hunter is way jumpy over a normal door) Mando to pull his gun(s). When the boss introduces him saying "This is Dr. Pershing", the stormtrooper by the door is lowering his weapon, but he's still pointing it straight at Mando in the reaction shot of the doc.

Other mistake: Greef Karga is lying out the next possible assignments for Mando. He says that there's "a bail jumper, a bail jumper, another bail jumper, a wanted smuggler." Good, but there are 5 pucks on the table. Who's the extra guy? (00:12:00)
