The Mandalorian

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 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. (00:03:00)

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)

Chapter 3: The Sin - S1-E3

Revealing mistake: During the whole escape from the bounty hunters scene, everyone is shooting at the protagonist, who is ducking into a baggage tug. Somehow the blaster shots from all those armed men do not make a hole, or even the smallest dent or burn mark onto the cart or its content of boxes and drums. (00:27:00)

Chapter 7: The Reckoning - S1-E7

Revealing mistake: There's some sleight of hand involved when Cara gets her cup of tea from the repurposed IG-11. Maybe it was costly to have the animatronic arm working to the point of actually supporting the cup and hand it to her, so pay attention to what Cara actually does; Gina Carano is ALREADY holding the cup, taps the mechanical hand with it as if the fingers just released it from their grasp, and retrieves it. (00:11:50)

Chapter 9: The Marshal - S2-E1

Revealing mistake: The Marshall and Mando have a casual conversation between speeder bikes, even when the sound the engines make at that speed is deafening (there's a sample of it during the establishing shots!) and the sound of their words wouldn't propagate properly. He also must be wearing an invisible Mandalorian helmet or use beskar-based gel, because his hair barely moves. (00:20:25)

Sammo

Chapter 12: The Siege - S2-E4

Revealing mistake: After exterminating dozens of stormtroopers, our heroes are inexplicably pinned down by just two taking cover in the elevator. During this phase of the battle Gina Carano drives the big vehicle that was lying around and positions it behind the other two good guys (instead of in between them and the shooters). The two have to get inside the vehicle going through its narrow door; when Carl Weathers does it, it's of course not a surprise that the stormtroopers can't hit him, but it's a bit more surprising that in the view inside the vehicle he is still standing in front of an open door and not taking cover, but the troopers have stopped shooting. Someone forgot to add some blasters behind him, or the camera is really positioned at an unfortunate angle showing how exposed he is. (00:23:35)

Chapter 14: The Tragedy - S2-E6

Revealing mistake: Once Fennec obliterates like bowling pins with a rock the ones she couldn't simply shoot, Boba Fett has another badass moment murdering the stormtrooper with the orange pauldron. Problem is, he's in the open and there's another stormtrooper directly behind him that couldn't possibly have missed Boba when he was busy poking comically the back of the officer but comes to life only when the camera is on him. (00:15:50)

Sammo

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)

Sammo

Chapter 7: The Reckoning - S1-E7

Plot hole: The boss of the boss murders Werner Herzog because he knows that the baby is not in the crib. Yet it takes Mando's message (somehow intercepted) for the troopers to start moving in pursuit. The heck were they waiting for? They have overwhelming forces in the area and a previous deal with Karga. (00:33:10)

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.

Chapter 13: The Jedi - S2-E5

Question: Ahsoka's "head-tails" (called Lekku, technically) seem to have creases in them. Are these meant to be scars from battles, or are they just folds in whatever material was used to make the prosthetics? With all the high production values elsewhere, this would seem to be a fairly ropey oversight if so.

Jon Sandys

Chosen answer: They could be just like wrinkles from age, like the elderly Togruta in the Zygerrian slaver arc in The Clone Wars series, as Ahsoka is considerably older than her animated appearances. I think there is probably a character design/stylisation aspect to it as well - the other Togruta we've seen in live action, Shaak Ti, has four segments or folds in her lekku that were not visible in her Clone Wars appearances, so it would seem the character design in Clone Wars and Rebels reduces such features.
