The Mandalorian (2019)

Chapter 8: Redemption - S1-E8

Continuity mistake: The Scout Troopers have finished their shooting game. One of them gets up and the other looks bored (and annoyed because he does not get to see the 'package'). He is leaning against the bike's handle, or not, depending on the shot. (00:04:10)

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 7: The Reckoning - S1-E7

Plot hole: The Client does not care if The Child lives or dies, in fact he sent out bounties for the baby to be delivered dead, without even offering the incentive. But as if it were an SNL spoof, he is slowed down by Greef Karga's comment about the baby being asleep. Pretty amazing to begin with that the crib, aka an object completely sealed that could contain anything from a bomb to some form of killer droid or a stash of weapons, is allowed in without the faintest inspection. Not to mention that he is loaded with tracking fobs for the baby. He should be alerted just by not hearing beeps from the devices.

Chapter 7: The Reckoning - S1-E7

Stupidity: The Imperial sub-boss and his guards deserve to die just for the fact that they allowed a supposed prisoner to be brought in full blaster-proof armor complete with wrist guards that contain deadly weaponry. Who would sit across the table with someone who is wearing a flame throwing suit?

Chapter 7: The Reckoning - S1-E7

Stupidity: The initial plan for Greef Karga and the three hunters was to kill Mando and whoever else he brought over, and deliver the Child to the Client. Considering this was their plan, there is no reason why they did not kill them in their sleep.

Chapter 7: The Reckoning - S1-E7

Continuity mistake: When the two bodyguards approach Greef Karga and the others from behind with the intention to shoot the good guys, the green guy has his pistol already fully raised, but conveniently when Karga double crosses him the gun is lower. (00:24:45)

Chapter 7: The Reckoning - S1-E7

Continuity mistake: When Greef Karga approaches Mando's party apologizing for the far away rendez-vous (French is trendy even in space), the leftmost guy in his group has a long axe-like weapon he holds in his left hand, right hand at the reverse shot, let again in the rest of the scene.

Chapter 7: The Reckoning - S1-E7

Other mistake: Kuiil says (and shows in the montage) that the droid had to be taught everything from scratch (takes days of practice to handle a bottle and pour a cup) and has developed a new personality. Yet it is highly skilled in combat as if it could access all the abilities it had when it was a bounty hunter. Either a droid has a 'muscle memory' that needs to be built back from scratch, or it does not. With his master having been in the army as a mechanic, it's strange to say the least that he could make a killer droid out of him, and that the droid can ride with mastery a speeder bike when he never practised it.

Chapter 7: The Reckoning - S1-E7

Other mistake: During the episode, everyone mentions that as a precautionary measure, Cara Dune should cover her arm tattoo that shows her status of (former) shock trooper for the Rebellion. Nobody even remotely mentions the Rebellion tattoo she has on her cheek showing she is a survivor from a planet vaporized by the Empire. It's like going to a Nazi meeting covering your Allied army rank but sporting a Star of David tat on your face. You are not making it much better. Nobody seems to notice though.

Chapter 7: The Reckoning - S1-E7

Plot hole: Kuiil is shown salvaging the droid from the building's ruins. A campfire is still burning and the droid's remains are still smoking, but at the end of the mission he spent a couple days at least with Mando on the jawas' sidequest. The only time when he could have got the robot when the ruins were still smouldering would have been right after Mando left, but that implies he's been a huge jerk not giving him a ride, and lied to him when he acted surprised he was still alive - it's also impossible he could have had the droid on his property without Mando seeing it and freaking out.

Chapter 6: The Prisoner - S1-E6

Plot hole: Mando's ship appears in front of the X-wings, but they ignore it entirely without even acknowledging its departure. Considering they have strength in numbers and are chasing a fugitive and acting with extreme prejudice, it makes no sense. (00:36:40)

Chapter 6: The Prisoner - S1-E6

Continuity mistake: Between Burg's defeat and Mayfeld's encounter with the group of droids he easily disposes of (even if he couldn't hit or damage them earlier on), Mayfeld's shoulder gun switches side in one shot. (00:30:40)

Chapter 6: The Prisoner - S1-E6

Stupidity: The security droids appear impervious to blaster hits at the beginning of the episode, but nobody from the crew grabs one of the droid rifles, who instead easily pierce their armour. Mayfeld then one-shots them no problem when the plot requires him to towards the end of the episode.

Chapter 6: The Prisoner - S1-E6

Continuity mistake: The sequence with Mayfeld jacking the door lock of the cell is obviously different takes, since the white lights on the control panel are inconsistent, and his left-hand position and Xi'an's facial expressions are different depending on the camera angle. (00:21:50)

Chapter 6: The Prisoner - S1-E6

Continuity mistake: When Satan himself (or not) hurls the sentry droid into another one and a blast ensues, the crazy overacting Twi'lek is either hopping with sadistic laughter or shielding her eyes from the explosion depending on the shot. (00:21:40)

Chapter 5: The Gunslinger - S1-E5

Plot hole: Something about the timing of the episode does not work. The two pursuers see in their first day of chase a dewback (animal mount). They storm Fennec's position when it gets dark. They quickly capture her, and then Mando wanders the desert to catch the dewback. It takes him the whole night to do so and get back to the encampment, which seems an absurdly long time considering he had it in his sight (and was even sending for it his partner who had no thermal vision). This also implies that Fennec was in the middle of the desert with no mean of transportation of her own.
