Snoke was a reject emperor clone, so I think these are eventually emperor clones.

Mando takes place a good 25-30 years before Episode 7 when we first see Snoke, and a good 20 years or more before Rise of Kylo Ren. Clones can be grown/made as adults not babies like Boba and his brethren. We also saw a chamber full of Snokes in Episode 9.
This good be the experiments that lead to Snoke. It is in Legends for sure, and potentially canon that cloning a Force sensitive being is incredibly hard and usually ends in failure.
May explain why Snoke had that disfigurement and scars too. I’m enjoying the series so far. Cant wait for next episode up late after Thanksgiving catching Mando n some late night eats.
BnB, no not Bed n Breakfast but rather Bodega and Baby Yoda.
Hey, the art on the back of the blister card is Star Wars Tales 4!

With the anticipation Ashoka may make her debut Friday, there is some chat out there about Age of Republic Special being Her first Cannon appearance in comics.
Judge for yourself.
Mace Windu #5 (12-27-17: single shot cameo via Windu memory flashback.):
Darth Vader 14 (4-11-18: only closeup of head appears with a helmet on in a vision/flashback)
Age of Republic Special #1 (1-16-19: appears on the screen of a bounty puck, then on another page in a Asajj Ventress flashback/memory. She is named in this book a few times for what it’s worth)
There you have it.
Pump and Dumpers will make EVERYTHING a 1st appearance.
Only thing that matters is 1st Comic Appearance.

Outside of Clone Wars #1 which is certainly “the” book to have, I still like the Age of Republic Special the best.
I’m not saying the others aren’t ok and certainly they are appearances of Ahsoka prior to the special, but I feel like she is actually part of the story, integral to the actual plot in the Age of Republic Special . My opinion means squat with regards to the general and I realize that.

And buy low, sell high, sell what others are buying…

Was disappointed when I clicked on the link…
Sweet god, Disney. Know you no shame? It’s a f$&ckin’ macaron. I can go buy 12 blue ones for 12 bucks at the specialty grocer around the block.
Oh well. I guess Williams Sonoma has the first official IRL appearance of blue macarons.

Spoiler alert (sort of) for my line below…just in case. Stop here! 
Very glad I graded my copies of Heir to the Empire when I did.
What awful timing. I was going to win an auction ending today to get issue 1.
