History Recap / StarWarsRebelsS1E10VisionOfHope

-->'''Kanan:''' And, that's not the ride we were looking for.

* StateSec[=/=]SecretPolice: The Imperial Security Bureau and [=COMPNOR=] figure heavily in this episode, and it provides a chillingly realistic portrayal of how such organizations operate to stamp out dissidents.

* BrickJoke: After Stormtroopers seal up the sewer tunnel that the crew left Chopper to guard, he uses his saw to remove the sealant. He's still using his saw (and has made no progress) by the time Kanan uses his lightsaber to cut the door open from below.

* VoiceOfTheResistance: Subverted. This voice of resistance is merely a ploy to entrap Rebel cells by the [=ISB=].

* CodeName: Chopper's name turns out to be based on his serial number: [=C110P=].

* LuredIntoATrap: Just like Trayvis' first appearance. And just like back then, the ''Ghost'' crew escapes to spread the word about said-trap.

* OffscreenMomentOfAwesome: Kanan tries to teach Ezra how to deflect blaster bolts by making Zeb, Sabine and Chopper fire at him, and he has to reflect it back at a stormtrooper helmet, which he seems unable to do. Then his vision starts, which is shown to the audience. What is ''not'' shown, is that during the vision Ezra managed to reflect ''every single blaster bolt'' fired at him by the three right back at the helmet, leaving it charred black. Without even being conscious of it. He initially thinks he got stunned and passed out, but Kanan tells him what he did and how impressive it was.

* TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: Trayvis gives one to Ezra about his parents; saying that he joined the Empire to survive and that Ezra's parents should have too if they had valued their lives, and his life, and that their rebellious nature brought them nothing but suffering. [[ShutUpHannibal Hera promptly shuts him up.]]
* ShoutOut: After waking up from his vision, Ezra says "[[Film/TheWizardOfOz You were there . . . And you were there!]]"

* ReverseMole: Zare Leonis returns, and serves as this for the ''Ghost'' team.

* AbsurdlySpaciousSewer: Ezra leads the crew through the sewers so they can get into the old Republic Senate building undetected. Ezra notes that, thanks to the Empire, the sewers have practically no water and are thus fairly easy to traverse.
* ApologeticAttacker: Ezra has to roughly tackle his way past Zare when the Stormtroopers show up, since Zare needs to keep up his cover. He apologizes just before the hit.
* AttackReflector: Kanan is trying to teach Ezra to accurately deflect blaster bolts. Ezra can manage the deflection part, but isn't so good at returning it to its source. When he has his vision, however, he riddled the Stormtrooper helmet they were using as a target with holes.
* BatmanGambit: Hera picks up on hints that Trayvis is lying and does a simple but effective test by giving him [[ItWorksBetterWithBullets an uncharged pistol]].

* ConfirmationBias: InUniverse. Kanan warns Ezra that he's likely only seeing what he wants to see in his visions. Ezra doesn't listen, and the PropheticFallacy happens.

* DramaticIrony: Kanan has trouble getting Ezra to focus on the lesson because Ezra's mind is constantly on the near future, so he tells him to focus on the moment. Ezra then has a vision, and wakes up to find that while he was seeing the future he deflected every shot into the target.

** If you watch very closely you'll see that not only does Trayvis have a look of disgust on his face when Ezra and Hera help him to his feet in the sewer, but he also brushes off his clothes in the ''exact'' same areas where they touched him when they're not looking.

* ItWorksBetterWithBullets: Trayvis tries to shoot Hera after showing his true colours, but it turns out that the blaster was not charged, and Hera proceeds to knock his ass out.

* LuredIntoATrap: Just like Trayvis' first appearance. And just like back then, the ''Ghost'' crew escapes to spread the word about said trap.

* OffscreenMomentOfAwesome: Kanan tries to teach Ezra how to deflect blaster bolts, by making Zeb, Sabine and Chopper fire at him, and he has to reflect it at a stromtrooper helmet, which he seems unable to do. Then his vision starts, which is shown to the audience. What is ''not'' shown, is that during the vision Ezra managed to reflect ''every single blaster bolt fired at him by the three right at the helmet, leaving it charred black. Without being conscious of it.''

* FantasticRacism: When they first meet, Kallus comments on Hera's being a Twi'lek with a obvious sneer.

* JurisdictionFriction: There's a hint of it between him and the Grand Inquisitor. He thinks the Grand Inquisitor is overly focused on capturing the Jedi, to the detriment of actually capturing the Rebels as a whole. When he has the opportunity to set a trap for them, he does so without involving the Inquisitor, believing he can get the whole group then hand over the Jedi. This also applies to [[BeleagueredBureaucrat Minister Tua]] and the other Inquisitors.

* VoiceOfTheResistance: Subverted hard. This voice of resistance is merely a ploy to entrap Rebel cells by the [=ISB=].

* BrokenPedestal: Both Ezra and Hera towards Trayvis once they realize he is really an Imperial agent and that everything he spoke for was a lie designed to trap potential Rebel cells before they could get off the ground.

* TheLoad: Gall Trayvis slows the team down with his complaining and tendency to get exhausted. Turns out this was intentional; he was only acting that way to that Kallus could catch up to them.

%%* NeverSayDie: It's more so Hera can bridge it into "They're not gone [[YouCannotKillAnIdea as long as we continue to fight for their ideals]]", but it's still strange when Trayvis tells Ezra his parents are "gone" in a show that normally has no problem with the word "die". Of course, given Tseebo's unrevealed message in "Gathering Forces", the word choice may be deliberate. [[spoiler: It is... at this point in the series.]]

--->'''Tua:''' The insurgents terrorizing our world will soon be brought to justice. I have assurances from-- ''[transmission hijacked by Travyis]''

** After finding the senator's shuttle absent from its pad, followed by an Imperial shuttle rises up to greet them, Kanan references one of the most iconic scenes of ''Film/ANewHope''.
