Bloody good question. I don’t know.

maybe it tracks midichlorians

That could be super interesting, actually. Fun way to tie that back into the story. But I doubt it given that the Mando had trackers for the other people he captured earlier and I assume not all, if any, were Force sensitive -- or had midichlorian counts high enough to register (if in fact ALL lifeforms have SOME midichlorians; which is something I'm still not 100% on).

also, if that was the case, they should've been able to locate luke when he marooned on planet anch-to using the same homing devices. that thing would've been buzzing harder than a chile's pager announcing your table is ready.

It's weird that TW voiced the IG because that was a big push for the marketing team and he's dead in one?

someone posited earlier that Mando may rebuild and repurpose him, which could be really cool

Ruddo nails it

The client has some sort of tracking number for the asset but only the last five digits.

And no puck.

That's what they called it, right? A puck?

there's got to be something on BY considering those other guys find them after they've been walking for awhile. So whatever it is it's coded for the BY, not the location.
