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.

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)

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)

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)

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)

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)

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: 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)

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 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

Plot hole: Nick Nolte's little guy is supposedly terribly helpful towards Mando, showing him "the only way" to reach the enemy encampment, which is by riding the weird fishy beast, but when Mando surveys the target and the robot reveals itself, you can see that there are only shallow hills around the base, a large clear path of land, nobody even is on lookout...and most importantly, in the following episode, Mando makes it back on foot anyway, no blurrgs - and evidently the baddies had no vehicles, making them even less of a threat to begin with. And for being so helpful and good natured, he did not tell him to park the ship by/at his place nor warned him about the Jawas.

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.

Answer: In (non-canon) Legends, Thrawn was the central character of a trilogy of novels by Timothy Zahn. He was a Chiss officer in the Imperial Navy, who rose to the rank of grand admiral despite being non-human. Thrawn was brought into canon in the Star Wars Rebels series, where he commanded the Empire's Seventh Fleet and led the occupation of Lothal, which was opposed by the series' protagonists including Ahsoka Tano. In the final episode of Rebels, the Jedi and Rebel Ezra Bridger commands Purrgil space whales to drag Thrawn's Star Destroyer into hyperspace, jumping to an unknown location with himself and Thrawn on board. The final scene of the series shows Ahsoka Tano and Sabine Wren leaving Lothal to search for Bridger, and presumably Thrawn.
