NoblWolf 01/09/20 1:57:38 AM #3:	Yah, this is what bothered me the most from the show. Spoilers When they first found Baby Yoda, I kind of thought it was tracking the egg or something. Then I think one of the gild members or the empire remnant dude said it knows if the target is alive or some shit. So it would mean that it's somehow in/on Baby Yoda. And even when the egg is destroyed it's able to track them across the Galaxy, so it seems like that would be the case. However, when Mando and the newbie gild member go to the desert on speeders, the bounty tricked them by placing the fob on a corpse. A simple explanation would be to say that Baby Yodas tracker is different than the desert bounty's, but that's kind of lazy. Especially since how the audience isn't given any indication that it could be different. AND. For the final episode, why did Mando think Baby Yoda and Kwill (sp?) could go undetected on the planet with all the empire remnants around? All they had to do was use a fob tracker and blow up Baby Yoda using a TIE. Answer: idk and I don't think the show explains. Unfortunate that a key piece of how the show happened/continues isn't well understood. --- Brother's YouTube channel: AB_XY <cite>NoblWolf posted [p:932664931] in How do the...

The Force can be waved off as space magic because that's basically what it actually is, but when they gloss over technical stuff like that, it irks me. --- Posted with GameRaven 3.5.1 <cite>Corrupt_Power posted [p:932665026] in How do the...

BakonBitz 01/09/20 3:30:46 AM #13:	Maybe they track down specific lifeforms? They have to know about Yoda and the alien species he's from.

KamenRiderBlade 01/09/20 4:02:43 AM #14:	Luckily the tracker only seems to give you a Hotter/Colder signal beep. As to what factor they are tracking, who knows.
