I stayed up late last night to watch the episode and my brain is still processing what I saw.

First off, this episode was mostly predictable, which isn't to say it's not good, just that at some point in time, we'd see Greef, Cara and Din take on the remnants of the Empire at some point but man, was it awesome! I was slightly apprehensive about a Carl Weather directed episode but he delivered big time, as those action sequences were among the best in all of Star Wars. It was nice to see competent Tie Fighter pilots and for me, it harkened back to the original Star Wars movie, A New Hope, in that the Imperial Tie Fighters were just relentless.

Now, on to the HUGE revelations in this series. First off, we witness an Imperial Cloning facility! That was a shocker, considering that the Republic used "secret" cloners on Kamino in the prequels and we'd never seen an Imperial cloning facility in the films. The very first tube looked exactly like Snoke and his musical motif played briefly under that scene. It wasn't exact but it also wasn't subtle, either. That in itself might put to rest that the idea of XII-IX being discarded, which is another subject altogether but still a very important and likely lively discussion for another time.

Secondly, here we go again with Midiclorians "M. Count". It certainly looked like a few of those objects in those tanks could be what eventually becomes Supreme Leader Snoke but they're having difficulty with these clones handling the high Midichlorian count, which led to their failure. Dr. Pershing indicates they need more blood from "The Donor", which I initally took to be someone other than Baby Yoda but that may have been a misinterpretation.

After seeing those suits, the first thing that came to mind was the old EU "Dark Troopers", which changed over the years to become a Biological/Mechanical Hybrid and it "appears" as if they're trying to create Dark Force Clones for those suits, which could lead to an epic showdown between elite Mandalorian and Imperial forces.

Anyway, I need to watch it a few more times because as Keg said, there's a LOT to unpack. But in short, WOW!!!!

One last note: It certainly appeared in this episode that they're setting up Cara Dune for a spinoff in which she joins the New Republic as some sort of warrior/leader.
