The Mandalorian Episode 7 BREAKDOWN - THRAWN DARTH MAUL PRAETORIAN GUARDS

So this episode was my favourite so far of the whole season, which isn’t saying a whole lot since this season has been pretty all over the place and lack lustre, but this one definintely was awesome. I loved seeing the commeradere of the mandalorians, despite their warring tribes they all came together. I believe the spies were of course Elia Kane, but also the armorer and the pirates. There’s no way those pirates wouldn’t be loyal to Gideon this whole time, roaming the surface and not discovered by Gideon or the Empire. I’m sure the Empire offered them food and help, and them being sick was perhaps a way for the Armorer to get out of there with them. I think Gideon has spies everywhere, and the biggest twist would be if the Armorer was one of his. I have a hard time believing she is, but the fact that we now see his horned helmet along with hers, it just makes me question things. The other possibility is that she is a Zabrak, and the horns are because she can’t wear her helmet any other way.

As they head towards the Forge, a massive dinosaur blows their ship up, this is NOT they Mythosaur. The Mythosaur is much bigger and more powerful. They escape to a cave and move further down, finally getting to the Forge. They hear jet packs and realize imperials are headed their way. They fly now! These imperials are fitted with white Beskar armour. Axe Woves gets out of there to call for reinforcements, escaping through a small hole in the roof. They all shoot at one another and the Mandos take them out, until they’re foolishly lured into a trap. As they notice a massive army of imperial tie fighters and weaponry. They’re ambushed and separated by a door that closes. Din fights off the stomtroopers in beskar, tied down, when Moff Gideon lands in his new suit. The next generation of dark trooper suit, this means, it’s lightsaber resistant if it’s a new phase from the previous dark troopers we saw in season 2’s finale with Luke. as the phase 3 dark troopers were lightsaber resistant.

Moff Gideon’s helmet has horns, so does the armorer’s. There are only one group of mandalorians who has horns on their helmets. Darth Maul’s loyalists. I believe the armorer is working with Moff Gideon. I believe Moff Gideon is loyal to Darth Maul’s leadership as ruler of Mandalore. Gideon talks about the cloners, the jedi, the mandalorians all having something special about them. He plans to aggregate the best of each, and bring order to the galaxy. I think Gideon was trying to create the perfect warrior. A cloned force sensitive wearing mandalorian armor. He sends Din to the debriefing room to be questioned and tortured. He turns to Bo Katan after hearing her voice and demands the dark saber. As she nods to Paz and they all blast the doors as Gideon opens them. Bo runs to the back and qui gon jinn style puts the dark saber through the blast door and cuts a hole for them to escape through. Paz is holding them off with his gattling mini gun blaster and closes the door on himself, telling Bo to go as he takes them all on like a boss. His blaster overheats and he man handles all of them. Until, 3 mandalorian styled praetorian guards appear to defeat him. They slash and stab him at the corners of his armour’s weak openings, killing him. He goes out like a boss and I was upset to see him go as I liked his stoic powerful presence in the crew. His son will be very devastated to learn of his father’s sacrifice. The praetorian guards have a different helmet than they do in the sequel trilogy, and we see that they have t visor, looking a lot like the shadow guards from legends and the force unleashed. These guys are incredibly powerful and could use the force. The Praetorian guards here look like some mandalorian variation and it makes me wonder if they’re different from the sequel trilogy ones or not.

Thrawn, praetorian guards, luke skywalker, darth maul loyalists could all be in the next episode and of course moff gideon.
