Show generally

Other mistake: Din tracks Grogu down through his chain code and other bounty hunters do the same throughout the series. As stated elsewhere, chain codes were implemented in the year 19 BBY AFTER the end of the Clone Wars and Order 66. We know that Grogu was spirited away from the Jedi Temple during the Slaughtering of the Younglings, so he was already a fugitive by the time they came about. No way they could stop and register him with the Empire while he was on the run from them.

Captain Defenestrator

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.

Sammo

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).

Sammo

Chapter 1: The Mandalorian - S1-E1

Continuity mistake: "The blue guy" puts his credits down on the table hoping to buy his freedom from the hunters. Next time the Mythrol and his captors are in frame, gone are the credits from the table; actually you can see them again when the mug is knocked off the table, but in that case, they were in the wrong spot, for the mug to be blocking them from view. (00:00:55)

Chapter 1: The Mandalorian - S1-E1

Revealing mistake: Mando kills the squid dude shutting the door of the cantina by shooting the control switch. The control board bursts into sparks, but all the LEDs are still active and shut down only a second after the direct hit that punched a hole through the box and caused flames. (00:02:25)

Sammo

Chapter 1: The Mandalorian - S1-E1

Continuity mistake: Once Mando delivers his trademark "cold/warm" line, the bounty puck changes position on the table. Conversely, his hand position is the same, but delivering the line he had dramatically put it to his holster. (00:03:00)

Sammo

Chapter 1: The Mandalorian - S1-E1

Continuity mistake: Mando meets his contact at the guild to get paid. Watch as he gets seated; on the table, there's a pile of little tiles. And then, his guy puts down on the table...that same pile of colourful Imperial credits. The position of the beeping locating devices changes too. (00:11:05)

Sammo

Chapter 1: The Mandalorian - S1-E1

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)

Sammo

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. (00:14:50)

Sammo

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)

Sammo

Chapter 1: The Mandalorian - S1-E1

Continuity mistake: When IG-11 shoots the first batch of criminals, the natural light changes between shots. Look at the aerial view immediately before Mando's arrival; the robot is casting a distinct shadow at 7 o'clock and the corpses to the right are next to the shadow of the building. All different from the shot that follows. (00:29:30)

Sammo

Chapter 1: The Mandalorian - S1-E1

Other mistake: The laser cannon punches decent sized holes into the columns and even cuts through the thick metal of the door (and look with what ease), but it is shown hitting the droid at least 4 times never managing to do any visible damage to it. When at the end of the battle they talk about the 'wound', it's not in one of those spots. (00:33:30)

Sammo

Chapter 8: Redemption - S1-E8

Greef Karga: He missed!
The Mandalorian: He won't next time.
Cara Dune: Our blasters are useless against him.
Greef Karga: Hey, let's make the baby to the magic hand thing. Come on, baby! [Waving his fingers] Do the magic hand thing. [The Child coos.] I'm out of ideas.

Trivia: The series is set in between the events of the original "Star Wars" trilogy and the sequel trilogy. More specifically, it is set about five years after the conclusion of "Return of the Jedi," and around twenty-five years before the events of "The Force Awakens."

More trivia for The Mandalorian

Answer: It's possible it's a different race of Jawas. The ones we saw before with red eyes were on Tatooine. These are a different group of Jawas on a different desert planet, thus probably have mutated or adapted different isolated from the other groups and have their own traits.
