History Recap / StarWarsRebelsS1E10VisionOfHope

The ''Ghost'' crew tries to thwart an Imperial plan to capture exiled Senator Gall Trayvis who wants to hold a secret rally on Lothal. However, there is more going on than meets the eye: namely, that the "good" Senator's true allegiance is not to the Rebellion but to the Imperial Security Bureau.

* AbsurdlySpaciousSewer: Ezra leads the crew through the sewers so they can get into the old capital building undetected. Ezra notes that, thanks to the Empire, the sewers have practically no water and are thus fairly easy to traverse.

* ComicallyMissingThePoint: As they're making their way through the sewers, Zeb complains about the smell and Sabine jokes that it matches Ezra's scent. Ezra's takeaway from this?

** Even before that, there's Kanan's concern that the coded messages Trayvis puts in his broadcasts are too simple, and that the Empire could easily figure them out.

* ContinuityNod: Kallus rather sarcastically calls Ezra "Padawan Jabba", a reference to the [[Recap/StarWarsRebelsSparkOfRebellion first episode]], when he was interrogating Ezra in the ''Lawbringer''[='s=] detention cell and Ezra responded sarcastically to being asked his name with "Jabba the Hutt".

* {{Foreshadowing}}: If you watch very closely you will 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 are not looking.

** Ezra's vision has the same effects on the edges of the screen as Anakin's visions of Padmé's death in ''Film/RevengeOfTheSith'', Ahsoka's visions about Aurra Sing targeting Padmé in ''The Clone Wars'' episode [[Recap/StarWarsTheCloneWarsS3E7Assassin "Assasin"]], and Asajj Ventress' TroubledBackstoryFlashback in [[Recap/StarWarsTheCloneWarsS3E12Nightsisters "Nightsisters"]].

* 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.''

* PropheticFallacy: Ezra has a Force Vision early in the episode of him and the rest of the crew saving Senator Trayvis from the Imperials and the Senator telling Bridger that his parents were very brave. What ends up happening instead is that Trayvis reveals himself as an Imperial agent after they seemed to have escaped, and his praise of Ezra's parents is followed by deriding them as foolish. Kanan actually tried to warn him of this, but at the time Ezra was too excited to really listen.

* ShoutOut: After waking up from his vision, Ezra says "[[Film/TheWizardOfOz You were there... And you were there!]]"

* 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 Storm Troopers 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 light saber to destroy the seal from the other side of the door.
* BrokenPedestal: Both Ezra and 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.
* ChekhovsGunman: After appearing as a hologram in two prior episodes ("Rise of the Old Masters" and "Empire Day") Senator Gall Trayvis finally shows up in person.

* ContinuityNod: Kallus rather sarcastically calls Ezra "Padawan Jabba", a reference to the pilot movie when he was interrogating Ezra in the ''Lawbringer's'' detention cell and Ezra responded jokingly to the question of what was his name with "Jabba the Hutt."

* {{Foreshadowing}}: If you watch very closely you will see that not only does Trayvis have a look of disgust on his face 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 are not looking.

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

** Ezra's vision has the same effects on the edges of the screen as Anakin's visions of Padmé's death in ''Film/RevengeOfTheSith'', Ahsoka's visions about Aurra Sing targeting Padmé in ''The Clone Wars'' episode "[[Recap/StarWarsTheCloneWarsS3E7Assassin Assasin]]", and Asajj Ventress's TroubledBackstoryFlashback in "[[Recap/StarWarsTheCloneWarsS3E12Nightsisters Nightsisters]]".
** 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 ''A New Hope''.

* 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.''

* DangerouslyGenreSavvy: The Imperial Security Bureau had a pretty slick operation in the form of Trayvis that came close, twice (remember "Rise of the Old Masters"), to killing or capturing the ''Ghost'' crew and actually succeeded with God knows how many more rebels over the years.

%%* 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.

* ExactEavesDropping: Of the vision variety. All of the specific events Ezra sees in his vision do come to pass exactly as he foresaw them, but he gets them all out of context and draws the wrong conclusions.

* 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.

* 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 caused them to end up dead and gone. [[ShutUpHannibal Hera promptly shuts him up.]]

* IJustShotMarvinInTheFace: When the Stormtroopers weld the sewer hatch Chopper is guarding, he takes a saw to it. He's still at it when the crew finally shows up, so Kanan decides to cut his way through without realizing Chopper is there, nearly skewering him. Chopper is displeased, to say the least.

** Ezra's vision has the same effects on the edges of the screen, as Anakin's visions of Padmé's death in ''Film/RevengeOfTheSith'', Ahsoka's visions about Aurra Sing targeting Padmé in ''The Clone Wars'' episode "[[Recap/StarWarsTheCloneWarsS3E7Assassin Assasin]]", and Asajj Ventress's TroubledBackstoryFlashback in "[[Recap/StarWarsTheCloneWarsS3E12Nightsisters Nightsisters]]".
** After finding the senator's shuttle absent from its pad, an Imperial shuttle rises up to greet them, Kanan reference one of the most iconic scenes of ''A New Hope''.
-->'''Kanan:''' That isn't the shuttle we were looking for.

Without being conscious of it.''

* PlausibleDeniability: This is how Trayvis can scope out Rebel cells without anyone being the wiser. Usually, he only gets a line on them, allowing the Empire to watch them and potentially take them out later. It's only troublesome cells like the crew of the ''Ghost'' that get taken out on the spot, which are written off as accidents.

* InsultBackfire: As they're making their way through the sewers, Zeb complains about the smell and Sabine jokes that it matches Ezra's scent. Ezra's takeaway from this?
-->'''Ezra:''' Wait, you know what I smell like?

* MythologyGag: After finding the senator's shuttle absent from its pad, an Imperial shuttle rises up to greet them.

* 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 caused them to end up dead and gone.

* ConfirmationBias: 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.

* CallBack: Kallus rather sarcastically calls Ezra "Padawan Jabba", a reference to the pilot movie when he was interrogating Ezra in the ''Lawbringer's'' detention cell and Ezra responded jokingly to the question of what was his name with "Jabba the Hutt."

* HopeSpot: It is swiftly crushed.

* TheMole: Zare Leonis returns on the hero's side. Then there is Trayvis.

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

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