    I think the cloning vats aren’t attempts at cloning Palpatine/Snoke, but rather an attempt for Gideon to clone himself. He said the Dark Trooper armor was filled with “me”.

Axe leaves during the attack, which could have easily been planned. plus, he is quick to volunteer to leave, as opposed to fighting, like most mandalorians.

      Along with the fact hux is the one focused on cloning with sidious, moff is most likely focused on cloning himself we see how he tampers with it, hux suspects this and gets a step ahead which is why sidious is a step ahead of snoke , if you ask me snoke knew nothing of sidious being alive, he allowed moff to think he succeeded in his plan and his Version of the empire , snoke isn’t a failed papaltine he is a result of giddeons self cloning experiment rebuilding the empire just for sidious to take it back from the shadows without him even knowing, snoke seen the rise and fall, I think it could be giddeon if it is it saves the terrible sequel trilogy just a little bit

    “The Spies” could also be a meta-reference to the biblical story of the 12 spies who went into the land of Canaan to spy out the land before the people settled there. John and Dave seem to be pulling a lot from the biblical story as a reference for the Mandalorians.

    The fighting scene against Beskar Stormtroopers reminded me of John Wick fighting scenes with the bullet proof suits or armored soldiers with bullet proof armor where John also had to get close and shoot the enemies in the gap of their suits/armor. Not saying it's related or inspired but a cool coincidence.

  • @Blazikrom

    Did anyone else get John Wick facing the high table guards in chapter 3 vibes from the way they took down the Beskar Troopers? They had to melee them in order to be able to expose a gap in the armor, and would often shoot multiple times at them.

    Two things i noticed is that the animals on the spits looks like those birds they rescued. Their heads pointed to the left and their wings look like they are tied up like a rotisserie chicken. The other thing is the the two mandos that was on the sail ship lead them directly to Moff. I think the spies were these two and the wounded was the Mandolorians that resisted Moff when he returned and they had them held hostage and just gave the wounded back to sell the trick.

    I believe that Gideon's helmet horns are more meant to represent something more akin to a crown that some one like a king or queen would wear. The spikes are on all four sides of his helmet. Gideon seems to be quiet power hungry, like most other imperials, he wants to be the ruler of mandalore by taking the Dark Saber, and he does not believe in Thrawn's "Grand Plan". All he wants is take all of this power for himself.
