Summary
- The Mandalorian has some funny mistakes, like Din Djarin's backward armor and a crew member in jeans, but they don't detract from the show's lighthearted spirit.
- Inverted shots and missing props, like Din's pulse rifle, add humor and show the challenges of working with armor in action scenes.
- The show occasionally foreshadows future events accidentally, like a corridor shot predicting a crucial moment, and small details like Din's visible eyes in his Imperial helmet add depth to the story.
As beautifully crafted as Star Wars' first live-action TV show is, The Mandalorian still has plenty of funny mistakes that made the final cut. There was a huge precedent for The Mandalorian to set when it premiered along with the Disney+ streaming platform in 2019, and it did so in the best possible way – and now, four years later, The Mandalorian season 4 is in the works. While The Mandalorian continues to hold its place as Star Wars and Disney+'s most important live-action series, it still has some moments where it perhaps falls short of perfection, but not in a way that should be frowned upon whatsoever.
The Mandalorian wouldn't be Star Wars if it always took itself so seriously, seeing as A New Hope is full of mistakes that make viewers point at the screen with joy every time they come around. With The Mandalorian evoking the spirit of the original Star Wars trilogy as much as it possibly can, keeping some minor mistakes in the show preserves this lighthearted spirit without sacrificing important parts of the story or viewing experience. Here are 10 of the funniest mistakes that The Mandalorian has included in the final cut.

While Pedro Pascal's Din Djarin and Timothy Olyphant's Cobb Vanth discuss plans with the Tuskens to take out the krayt dragon in The Mandalorian season 2, episode 1, a few shots reveal that Din's pauldrons are not only backwards, but are also on the wrong shoulders. The mudhorn signet on his right shoulder disappears for a few takes, and in another shot, it can be seen on the back of his left shoulder. With so many pieces of armor to attend to in Din Djarin's costume set, this is an easy mistake to make. Given that re-shoots of The Mandalorian season 2 weren't much of an option due to the COVID-19 pandemic, this is what they had to work with, and now it's simply just a funny moment to look back on.
9 The Mandalorian’s Jeans Guy (While He Lasted) 
The Mandalorian season 2, episode 4 featured a new kind of Star Wars character: A simple man wearing jeans. The man seen in the quick shot of the action-packed Imperial laboratory sequence quickly earned the named "Jeans Guy," though he unfortunately was edited out after viewers brought his presence to attention. Clearly, it was just a matter of a crew member not being able to get out of the shot quick enough, but now he's been affectionately added to Star Wars lore – with some even editing him into his own action figure.
