I've been silent about it for two years since your last "Get over it", man. I'm getting there! 😊

In any case, I wasn't really intending to focus on TLJ for inconsistent stuff.
The fuel part was from Rebels, when Hera and Sabine break the fuel tank and it leaks to the ground, as if it was gasoline. I love Rebels, but I didn't like that the fusion reactors in Star Wars were retconned to run on gas (or hypermegauberfuel, if you want).
Also, hyperspace tracking is just one more straw on the retconning of hyperspace, where ships are supposedly unreachable by any kind of communication. I love Rogue One, but there (and in Clone Wars), they are frequently talking from and to ships while they traverse hyperspace.

You also could stop being so touchy with TLJ, especially after two years. It's not a perfect movie, just the same as all Star Wars movies and series. In any case, other than in character treatment, TLJ doesn't hold the honor of having the stupidest asspull in Star Wars. That honor is still held by Rebels, when they blow up a Gozanti by essentially increasing the volume of a transmission to it.

I just find curious that scripwriters choose to write themselves to a corner, then happily asspull something accompained with technobabble to get out of there. Feels cheap in Star Treak, Star Wars, Doctor Who, and everywhere. It's not a particular criticism to Star Wars, TLJ, or The Mandalorian.

I will give you that one and then some, that was the dumbest thing in canon Star Wars by far, so far.

Starkillerbase is the dumbest. By the size of that stupid *** thing.

Repulsorlifts, silly.

Lightsabers aren't aerodynamic, but there's reason for a gyroscopic effect.

When have aerodynamics ever mattered in Star Wars?

EDIT2:
The fobs in The Mandalorian are a bit itchy to me too. They apparently have infinite range, and the target doesn't even need to have anything implanted or installed to be tracked? Why didn't Vader or the First Order use this to find Luke? Why didn't Palpatine use fobs to find Yoda or Obi Wan?

I think the fobs are a fairly silly as well, but AFAIK, they aren't known to have existed before 9 ABY.

Ultimately, Star Wars has lots of silly stuff in it to keep the stories moving, but the silliness has gotten a bit sillier in recent years.

I don't mind cute in SW, it's the silly to the point of ridiculous that never sat well with me.

There are lots of examples of things like this throughout, but I just cant quit you Star Wars!
