The Mandalorian (2019)

Chapter 4: Sanctuary - S1-E4

Stupidity: The one and only threat for the good guys in this episode is the walker; when the bounty hunter and the shock trooper do their surprise attack to the encampment, they do not try to locate it and destroy it while it's not operational and vulnerable (which they can do easily since they are following its tracks), but they enter a tent the baddies keep their beer in, plant a thermal detonator in it, whistle to call the attention of the guys that are drinking by the campfire, and brawl with them until it's almost about to blow, escaping in the nick of time. If that's not convoluted and nonsensical, I don't know what is; by that logic they could have simply tossed the bomb into the campfire and killed them all just as well. And of course, then they have to outrun the AT-ST, as if that was feasible.

Chapter 2: The Child - S1-E2

Revealing mistake: During the battle with the aliens, Mando throws one to the ground, disarming him, and gets his weapon. He is brandishing that weapon against a second one, but you can see that as they 'fight' (right after the clash that springs sparks) that his adversary stops a strike that Mando is not parrying (obvious miscue), and then in the next cut the weapon is gone entirely.

Chapter 16: The Rescue - S2-E8

Continuity mistake: In the scene with all the Mandalorians just hanging out at some bar, Boba Fett retorts at Sasha Banks' character; "if it isn't the quacta calling the stifling slimy." There's a cut and his rangefinder is inexplicably tilted forward. It is back to normal in the rest of the scene. (00:06:15)

Chapter 16: The Rescue - S2-E8

Other mistake: Moff Gideon is holding the Child under the threat of the darksaber. He tells Mando "Drop the blaster." Mando killed the two last enemies with his spear (the second one even choking him with it) and went straight to open the door of the cell, no blaster in hand. (00:20:00)

Chapter 16: The Rescue - S2-E8

Continuity mistake: After the sequence of the Dubstep Troopers charging with tubes bursting free, the all-female team is in a cargo holding. Fennec says "Cover me"; then she advances walking in two entirely different stances between shots. (00:16:00)

Chapter 15: The Believer - S2-E7

Other mistake: Somehow during the episode Cara and Fennec, on foot, manage to get to the base at the same time as Mando, who is on a truck. Moreover, Cara is the one with Mando's armor in a sack, but when Mando emerges from Slave-1, he changed clothes, and he's back in full uniform.

Chapter 15: The Believer - S2-E7

Continuity mistake: Valin Hess pours a drink to the two troopers. He asks "Where are you from, Brown Eyes" and screws the lid on; look at the quantity of liquid in the bottle. Next shot and it dropped significantly, to the point that barely any is visible anymore in the transparent section of the bottle. (00:25:15)

Chapter 15: The Believer - S2-E7

Continuity mistake: In a semi-comedic moment, Mando throws his blaster at one of the marauders, since it does not work. After the prolonged fight, he slips back into the truck, and when he comes out, he has a new blaster in his holster.

Chapter 15: The Believer - S2-E7

Revealing mistake: The first time we see Imperial troops saluting Bill Burr and Mando from their POV inside the truck, they are using their left arm. A couple cuts later we see that the shot was flipped, since everyone on the bridge, both sides of the truck, is saluting with their right hand. (00:19:00)

Chapter 14: The Tragedy - S2-E6

Stupidity: Boba Fett sees an imperial cruiser and says "The Empire...they're back", and Fennec does not believe him. That's after they spent the previous half of the episode killing a few dozens of Stormtroopers in pristine gear and full military asset.

Upvote valid corrections to help move entries into the corrections section.

Suggested correction: They've encountered a lot of Imperial Remnant troopers before. That is very different from a fully operational Assault Cruiser.

Two dropships with dozens of stormtroopers in military asset, with mortars and cannons, who have a drop on their position and destroy a ship from orbit. You are saying it is implied (or canonical) that they had any kind of encounter like that before? Fennec's reply that it's impossible since "the Outer Rim is under the jurisdiction of the New Republic" is quite weird coming from someone who just sustained a prolonged fight with imperial forces with support from a powerful starship.

Chapter 14: The Tragedy - S2-E6

Audio problem: In the "Previously" section, Mando is shown telling Ashoka; "Bo-Katan sent me to talk to you." But the actual line in the previous episode was "Bo-Katan sent me. We need to talk." (00:00:20 - 00:16:20)

Chapter 13: The Jedi - S2-E5

Continuity mistake: The Magistrate beckons towards her to have a prisoner led to her. She is holding her spear with the left hand and gesturing with the right, but it's the opposite in the next shot. (00:04:20)

Chapter 12: The Siege - S2-E4

Other mistake: "Blue" checks out Cara Dune's record and talks to her in stellar terms, obviously she's a great gal. When Mando and her met in episode 1-4, Cara said that if she even tried to board a vessel registered with the New Republic, she'd be captured and be put in jail for life.

Chapter 12: The Siege - S2-E4

Stupidity: The Razor Crest has a massive bulky center; spinning on its axis does not make it a smaller target, especially against a TIE fighter that is smaller and has two cannons that concentrate fire centrally.
