I'm finding the concept of "Easter Egg" hard to wrap my head around. Either its there or its not, irregardless if it is placed there for fun. At least IMO.

For Mildew, why is it absurd that he join Drago's Army? He hates dragons, but is fine with using them as tools. He is also displaced and without a home/community, so Drago's Army could fill in that gap. So why not? Whether the show creators put him there for fun or not, it's still him. (Or did the creators just put a person there that looked like Mildew for fun, rather than actually being Mildew...?)

For RR and Jack Thomas' commentary, yes he (and actually Noah Bentley) did say "Easter Eggs". However, Jack said alot of things, including definitely wanting to connect RR with the main franchise.

Canonicity, IMO, is a related but separate issue for the fans to decide themselves. I think RR is some level of canon. You may be thinking it is not canon at all, and that's totally fine. Both of us are right, and niether are wrong.
