Other mistake: Cara Dune rams with the Marauder a trooper who was shooting at her through the open window. The speederbike explodes in a ball of flame, but despite the big open window that goes through the whole length of it, the flames do not affect the inside in the slightest. (00:25:50)
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)
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)
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)
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)
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)
Continuity mistake: The scene with the kid that eats the blue cookies plays out like the kid had the cookie package there all along, but when the Child joined the class they were nowhere in sight. (00:09:30)
Continuity mistake: In front of what will turn out to be the school (Mando is surprised the place is still standing) depending on the camera angle the passersby change. (00:08:20)
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)
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.
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.
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)
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)
Chapter 10: The Passenger - S2-E2
Continuity mistake: In the cantina, Mando turns to follow Amy Sedaris that casually asks him about the dragon meat; his right hand is off/on the stick he is using to carry his cargo. (00:07:25)
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)
Chapter 10: The Passenger - S2-E2
Continuity mistake: When Mando puts the jetpack down, the shadows on the ground are inconsistent, pointing to the right either towards him or the Child. (00:03:50)
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.
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)
Chapter 9: The Marshal - S2-E1
Continuity mistake: When the villager is arguing with the Tusken, one of his buddies is holding a shovel and looking all menacing. The shovel is held in a different position each shot. (00:35:50)
Chapter 9: The Marshal - S2-E1
Continuity mistake: When the clumsy Tusken drops the explosive causing the ire of the villager, the reaction of Mando and the Marshall comes from two separate takes; their hand positions are different. (00:34:40)
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.
