The Mandalorian

Chapter 12: The Siege - S2-E4

Other mistake: The imperial base (that has been there for a long time) has troops on speeder bikes ready to launch, but no proper way for them to get out of the base itself, so a couple of them die just because the jump is too steep and they can't avoid the rocks! Imagine building a garage ramp 40 feet in the air and not even clear the ground underneath from huge sharp rocks. How would they even go back up? There's no towing equipment in sight. (00:24:45)

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 12: The Siege - S2-E4

Continuity mistake: Cara Dune drives the Marauder off the cliff; the vehicle practically nosedives and yet in the next shot it landed at a much less steep angle so it is driveable with no problems; in fact lands rear-first. (00:24:10)

Sammo

Chapter 12: The Siege - S2-E4

Continuity mistake: Mando and the others just listened to Pershing's message to Moff Gideon. A band of stormtroopers is there to provide the patented generic shootout; notice Gina Carano shoot fiercely behind Mando right away, but in the next shot being idle with her arm lowered. (00:20:45)

Sammo

Chapter 12: The Siege - S2-E4

Continuity mistake: When the Mythrol says "Look, it's a mint Trexler Marauder", look at the stormtrooper closest to him. His hand is inches away from the blaster, but it's closer in the previous and following shot. (00:15:25)

Sammo

Chapter 12: The Siege - S2-E4

Continuity mistake: Greef Targa tells the mechanics to fix the Mandalorian's ship "as good as new." The red skinned one in the first shot has nothing in hand, in the second he is holding a wrench vertically on the toolbox. (00:07:25)

Sammo

Chapter 12: The Siege - S2-E4

Other mistake: Greef Karga mentions that the Mythrol was his accountant before running off, but when Mando captured him in the first episode, he had no idea who Mando was nor had ever seen his ship before.

Sammo

Chapter 11: The Heiress - S2-E3

Other mistake: Mando's ship is completely devastated, gaping holes in the hull, patched up fuel lines, engines malfunctioning, and on top of that entirely flooded. The Mon Calamari repairs it for 1,000 credits and the protagonist acts like he's been ripped off. When Mando in season 1 turned down the bounty for the guy who missed bail, Greef Karga offered him 5,000 and Mando replied that it does not even cover fuel. As exaggerated as it could have been as a statement (he was complaining and perhaps haggling a bit), and as bad as the repairs prove to be, 1,000 sounds disproportionately small for repairs on massive structural damage AND refuel.

Sammo

Chapter 10: The Passenger - S2-E2

Other mistake: When the Razor Crest is beginning to fall, a shot shows the interior of the ship; the cargo is entirely unsecured and the eggs inside tumble all over the canister with no dampening to their inertia. The motion shown was just a mild tilt of the ship from one side to the other as the ship was about to fall. To imagine the cargo staying intact in those conditions during the manoeuvres shown before, which were tossing the frog lady in the cockpit all over the place, is inconceivable. (00:16:50)

Sammo

Chapter 10: The Passenger - S2-E2

Factual error: The premise of the episode is that Mando needs to travel at sublight speed or else the fragile eggs will die. They need to travel to a nearby star system, though, not just a planet. Stars can't be too close together, so Mando is in for a trip that would take him literally years, which is not reflected at all by what is shown in the episode. (00:08:00)

Sammo

Chapter 10: The Passenger - S2-E2

Continuity mistake: When Mando disposes of the idiot bounty hunter who tried to leave with his jetpack, he is holding the Child with his left hand, but the height / position of his right hand changes depending on the angle of the shot. (00:04:30)

Sammo

Chapter 9: The Marshal - S2-E1

Other mistake: The acid the dragon spits is purported as highly corrosive, literally melting people, however Mando is unaffected by it despite being bathed in it. His armor might be Beskar, but there are plenty of spots (those that his enemies constantly seem to miss) that are not. He should be at least in some discomfort and in need to change, and not carry around his neck a cape soaked in venomous dragon vomit.

Sammo

Chapter 9: The Marshal - S2-E1

Continuity mistake: The villagers and the raiders united just got near the cave. One of the Tusken raiders is by the cave checking for vibrations. He has his rifle in the right hand, then after a cut to the Child he's got the rifle in the left. (00:37:35)

Sammo

Chapter 9: The Marshal - S2-E1

Plot hole: The Tusken raiders offer a Bantha to the dragon to make it sleep longer. To do, so they wake it up, which seems to defeat the point, but let's assume they know what they are doing and the dragon catches up on sleep later. Regardless, the dragon already ate one the day before. If it does not stay put even after just eating a Bantha a day before, it's hard to imagine how feeding it can be productive, considering that they all live in a desert and have just a literal handful of large mammals. The dragon should have eaten them all in a week, at that rate.

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.

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.
