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 1: The Mandalorian - S1-E1

Other mistake: Mando and the droid have trouble dealing with enemies that pin them down into the doorway overwhelming them with firepower, even before the big machine-gun-like weapon is brought in. Then Mando hops on it, and suddenly all the firepower the enemies had and that had the heroes unable to move is gone, entirely, they can't shoot at him when he's a static target, and actually stick all out like perfect targets leaving their cover.

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)

Sammo

Chapter 2: The Child - S1-E2

Continuity mistake: Mando dropped the blaster gun and just stepped out of the trailer to join Kuiil with the jawas. The Child is looking at him, but from a different spot between shot and reverse, as you can notice by the gaps in the railing. (00:14:00)

Sammo

Chapter 2: The Child - S1-E2

Continuity mistake: The jawas are about to leave; during the scene, the position of the shadows on the ramp of the sandcrawler keeps changing between shots. It is subtle at the beginning when it's just Kuiil, but as a battered up Mando returns with the egg, it's very apparent. (00:22:00)

Sammo

Chapter 2: The Child - S1-E2

Other mistake: To look for the beast wanted by the jawas, the Mandalorian enters the cave and uses a flashlight. But as it was easy to presume, and we see in the following episode, his scope can detect lifeforms and heat signatures even through walls.

Chapter 3: The Sin - S1-E3

Continuity mistake: Mando knocks at the door and grabs the rude TT-8L/Y7 gatekeeper droid, ripping the eye part out entirely, nothing left on the arm. Mando then gets out of the Imperial hideout, he does it from the front door. By the door, but the security device has its eye back, still dangling off a cable. (00:19:55 - 00:24:30)

Sammo

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)

Sammo

Chapter 3: The Sin - S1-E3

Plot hole: It is a well-known fact that Mando is the one who got the bounty for the target, and the bounty has already been cashed in. Fobs are, as shown, specific for just one target and bounty hunters return them. Yet everyone hanging around at the cantina has still theirs. And again, the bounty was already cashed in, and surely the imperial guy does not have another bucket of incredibly rare and precious metal to give away.

Sammo

Chapter 4: Sanctuary - S1-E4

Other mistake: Gina Carano charges at the clueless Mandalorian, punches him right in the helmet, then misses him as he reels back against the wall, hitting the wooden boards, and going "Ow." For the rest of the fight she punches his solid steel helmet again several times including the big overhand right that floors him, and HE is the one that gets hurt. (00:09:00)

Sammo

Chapter 4: Sanctuary - S1-E4

Continuity mistake: Back at the tavern, Cara is telling Mando a bit about her history and the peacekeeping duties. During the scene, the light on the table is different; the Child's bowl of soup is either in a spot in the sun or in the dusk. (00:10:05)

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."

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.
