Chapter 6: The Prisoner - S1-E6

Plot hole: When the distress signal is launched, approximately 20 minutes are left till the arrival of the New Republic fleet. From the control room the team arrives to the prisoner's cell with 15 minutes to spare. They lock Mando up, and next time they communicate with their getaway robot dude, it says there are only 10 minutes to go, meaning it took them an astonishingly long time to navigate the ship without being really much closer to the exit, having met no opposition. Then the episode turns into a slasher movie of sorts, and somehow Mando manages to find them separately, hunt them down and as it turns out, not simply disposing of them, but also drag their unconscious carcasses to the empty cell he escaped from. There's nothing coherent about this timeline.

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: The droid arm with the blaster on Mayfeld's back switches from his right side to his left side between shots. The arm is on his right side throughout the entire episode, so they probably flipped the footage of that one shot, causing the arm to be on the wrong side. (00:30:37)

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

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 6: The Prisoner - S1-E6

Other mistake: Since they received a distress signal from a beacon, the X-wings...destroy the station the signal comes from, instantly. Maybe it's better not to ask for help (Notice the fact that they continue to attack it and in the concept art at the end of the episode the station is shown as exploding, not just the gunship they were launching).

Chapter 6: The Prisoner - S1-E6

Continuity mistake: When Mando fights Burg, Burg drags his head across the control panel then tosses him to the ground, then picks him up. It looks like one fluid series of actions, but Mando is on the ground in different parts of the room each time. (00:29:20)

Sammo

Chapter 6: The Prisoner - S1-E6

Other mistake: Everyone Mando fought with at the ship turns up alive at the end of the episode, but it's shown in the fight with the devil dude that the doors closed all the way and there's no room between the two sets of doors. There's no space for his head not to be popped like a melon. (00:30:00)

Sammo

Chapter 6: The Prisoner - S1-E6

Character mistake: Bill Burke's chest holsters are completely not practical and unfit for the kind of guns he's carrying. Just look at the scene when he's leaning towards the Child to grab him, and watch how awkwardly his arm bends. (00:12:30)

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.
