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)

Sammo

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)

Sammo

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. (00:17:20)

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 5: The Gunslinger - S1-E5

Audio problem: Amy Sedaris hands the rifle to one of the droids as she walks closer to the baby. The droid puts the gun down and a sound is played as if he set it on something solid, but in the next shot the rifle is gone and there's nothing but sand around there. (00:06:50)

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

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

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

Season 1 generally

Other mistake: In the first episode, Mando's job appears to get the baby preferably alive, but "proof of termination is also acceptable, for a lower fee." This makes not much sense per se (The Client is shown in the last episode as being subservient to Moff Gideon and he wants the Baby alive), but in the rest of the series it's even worse, since when we see people trying to kill the Child they do it in a suicidal manner (the guy turning his back to Mando to try and axe the kid) or that wouldn't leave a body to retrieve blood from (sniper from distance in 1.4) or any remote proof (pilot that would blow the ship, no ion cannon, in 1.5).

Sammo

Chapter 1: The Mandalorian - S1-E1

Other mistake: Even if the structure of the door was damaged by the shots shown, Mando, who sprinted to it with remarkable celerity considering he just finished shooting, wouldn't have enough strength to just kick it open (it's visually implied that they took one door each). Needless to say also if the gun was able to punch holes into walls, it should have damaged the unarmored enemies maiming their bodies - obviously it's a limitation due to rating. (00:34:00)

Sammo

Chapter 1: The Mandalorian - S1-E1

Continuity mistake: IG-11 runs its diagnostic, and then tells Mando the outcome. Between shots, the antenna/camera spinny things on his head are in different positions, and Mando is in two very different poses; his right hand was on top of his left wrist, his arm is lowered in the second shot. (00:34:00)

Sammo

Chapter 8: Redemption - S1-E8

Continuity mistake: After getting pulled and ragdolled around by it, Mando lands on the TIE fighter somehow with still both arms and decides to start shooting Moff Gideon. When he splats like a fly on the cockpit window he has nothing in hand, but at the cut he suddenly has his gun. (00:38:40)

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."

More trivia for The Mandalorian

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.
