Before you came along, he only ever really needed a mirror for when he’d shave. It wasn’t massive, since the fresher is so small. He was stood in front of the mirror in the fresher. It was the day Din was finally going to marry you. Either way, director Rick Famuyiwa is surely hoping to top the jaw-dropping arrival of Luke Skywalker in season 2, so we should expect a few surprises next week.The tweet: ‘ just thought abt din being self conscious after he takes his helmet off in front of u so u pepper his face with kisses everyday to make sure he know’s how handsome he is to u’ on Twitter) While it’s entirely possible the Armorer is some random Mandalorian or a redeemed Kast trying to atone for her past sins, it’ll be a much more dramatic finale twist to give her a Ghostface-inspired reveal as Gideon’s right-hand woman. Since we know Kryze has so much history with Rook, we question why Bo-Katan hasn’t clocked the Armorer’s voice, but then again, no one realized Darth Vader was a charred Anakin Skywalker…or that a maskless Ben Kenobi was secretly Obi-Wan Kenobi. And The Mandalorian has shown with everyone from Fennec Shand to Boba Fett, Luke to Ahsoka, Bo-Katan to Grand Admiral Thrawn, that the Mandoverse loves a surprise comeback, so the Rook theory at least seems plausible in that sense.
After all, since her late colleague Gar Saxon had no issue serving the Empire after the end of the Clone Wars, it stands to reason Rook would have similar affiliations. If the fleet of Mandalorian ships is decimated in the finale, viewers might assume the Armorer is dead, perfectly setting up a shocking twist at the end of the episode where she returns to reveal she’s been Rook Kast all along and has been helping Gideon manipulate events in secret. As Gideon says once he’s sprung the trap, “Thank you for gathering the Mandalorians in one place.” Is that a wink at his accomplice who’s now safely off-world? This eventually led to Din Djarin handing over the Darksaber so that Bo-Katan could assert her claim to rule Mandalore, just before the Armorer decreed everyone should now head on over to their ravaged homeworld…where they’re ultimately ambushed by the Empire. Earlier in The Mandalorian season 3, the Armorer allowed Bo-Katan to remove her helmet and encouraged Kryze to make peace with Axe Woves and her former followers. The conspiracy goes deeper than that, though.
Tying everything together, Gideon’s new Imperial commandos also call back to the Mandalorian ones who served under Rook Kast and Gar Saxon. The fact that Gideon and the Armorer both favor this specific helmet design does seem suspicious, even if Gideon has nothing to do with Maul. If you remember from the Clone Wars, Gar Saxon also wore a helmet with horns to signify his affiliation with Maul’s group, while Gideon’s new and improved Dark Trooper beskar suit and helmet echo this design as well. Some fans have actually pointed to the Armorer’s helmet having similar horns to Maul’s signature look as a key clue to her true identity. It’s very possible Rook escaped and assumed the role of the Armorer to hide under a helmet. Her ultimate fate after being captured by Bo-Katan and the Republic during the Siege of Mandalore that finally deposed Maul is currently unknown. Whereas Bo-Katan left the rogue Death Watch when Maul took charge and absorbed it into the Shadow Collective, Rook Kast remained loyal to the cause until the end of the Clone Wars. The Mandalorianepisode 7 gives a major wink to the Armorer being Kast when she confirms the Children of the Watch tribe of religious extremists she now leads were formed from the ashes of Death Watch. She, alongside another Mandalorian named Gar Saxon, aided Maul’s takeover of Mandalore in the final years of the Clone Wars, helping him dethrone and kill Bo-Katan’s sister Duchess Satine. Appearing as a villain in The Clone Wars, Rook Kast was a Mandalorian warrior who was a member of Death Watch as well as Maul’s Shadow Collective. But who is she? Long before this latest development, there were wild theories she would turn out to be a live-action version of Rook Kast. Although some fans think the episode’s title, “The Spies,” refers to Elia Kane snooping on the New Republic for Gideon and the top-secret Imperial Shadow Council, the idea that the Armorer is also Team Moff has been picking up traction online.
