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)
Chapter 10: The Passenger - S2-E2
Revealing mistake: When the frog lady puts Baby Yoda down the moment she gets back to the ship being chased by spiders, the baby is a toy that scurries away in the most unnatural way. (00:29:40)
Chapter 11: The Heiress - S2-E3
Revealing mistake: The last door the heroes have to breach emits sparks only a split-second after the door has already been opened. (00:26:05)
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)
Revealing mistake: Look at the droid carrying the spear the Magistrate offers to pay Mando with - it moves before she makes a motion for it. (00:12:40)
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)
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)
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.
