Chapter 1: The Mandalorian - S1-E1
Corrected entry: Mando is 'scoping' the place with the Blurrg beasts but is surprised by one of them. Funnily enough, despite having the beast in his sight (the scope he is using is his weapon's!) he does not shoot the weapon he has ready, and tries and use another one. He also never reaches for his blaster, not even when the second beast approaches, and he could easily die. It's as if he knew that he was going to meet a friendly beast tamer. (00:23:50)
Chapter 10: The Passenger - S2-E2
Corrected entry: Mando's passenger is a frog woman who has not been established as being in any way dangerous or wanted or have any reason to hide (and her cargo is her offspring, which is again nothing illegal), but Mando acts sneakily to hide her presence.
Correction: When Mando said traveling at sublight speed was dangerous, he was talking about for himself. He wasn't trying to be sneaky in hiding her because of who she was, he was trying to avoid the New Republic at any cost. Telling her to be quiet was so there wouldn't be an extra reason to force him to the outpost.
Logically it would not be an extra reason since all they check and ask for is the ship's data and if he mentioned that he had a female aboard who needed to deliver her offspring, they probably would have let him go more easily without getting too much into technicalities, however I don't want to move into alternative writing and speculation. Mando did not exactly keep a poker face in the circumstance but it's not out of line with the character and he was acting on impulse without a plan. I am fine with the correction, actually.
Corrected entry: With a heavy weapon, Cara is unable to damage a sewer grate (obviously placed in the middle of a bar) of the same kind that Leia shot open with a single pistol shot in the original Star wars movie. The homage is deliberate and so has to be the difference in outcome. Still, it's not like it makes any sense. (00:07:40)
Correction: Then it's not the same kind of grate. Even if it looks the same, it's made of a different metal, one that is obviously blaster proof.
'Obviously' there is no way to compare with scientific precision the power of the weapons and the resilience of the plumbing material used in an imaginary universe, but there's nothing 'obvious' about a sewer grate in a random cantina in the most backwater planet being more resistant than all the military-grade armor in the series. Leia blasted a huge hole in the trash compactor grate with a gun that was not even 1/3 the size of Cara's.
Correction: This is taking the scene completely out of context. The Blurrg are known to be pack and riding animals, for all he knows they belong to someone. Wouldn't be smart to start killing someone's livestock. He only uses the scope of the gun to see further, he is not hunting these animals. Therefore instead of shooting he tried to scare it away with flames.
