History Recap / StarWarsRebelsS2E15TheHonorableOnes

* WorfHadTheFlu: Usually Kallus would've had no problems surviving on his own, but the impact of the escape pod he and Zeb are in knocks him out of position, causing his legs to take the force of the impact and breaking them. This actually ends up saving Kallus' life as Zeb can't bring himself to kill the man when he's helpless.

* NotSoDifferent: Kallus reveals that he was knocked out in the first blast in his [[DarkAndTroubledPast backstory]] and awoke to find it was too late to save his comrades, waking up in the middle of their executions. In [[Recap/StarWarsRebelsS2E12LegendsOfTheLasat "Legends of the Lasat"]], Zeb was also knocked out by the bombs during the assault on the royal palace and by the time he came to, it was too late; he was seemingly the LastOfHisKind.

* AllThereInTheManual: According to the episode's script, the creatures Zeb and Kallus fought are called bonzami; and Kallus was rescued by a passing trader, with the Empire having stopped looking for him after using up the allotted time to search for a missing officer.

->'''Kallus:''' You really think we'll survive, with whatever's out there? Plus the temperature's dropping, and our only heat source is this . . . ''thing''. And who knows how long it'll last?\\
'''Zeb:''' You're so quick to give up hope. [...] But Lasat never know when to give up, remember?

* CallForward: The Empire was building something ''big'' over Geonosis, something . . . [[ThatsNoMoon moon-sized]], perhaps?

** Possibly to an episode of another Disney show, ''WesternAnimation/TronUprising'': Two enemies -- a rebel and a commander of a tyrannic regime -- crash in an isolated location after a skirmish and have to team up to survive. One is injured and the other provides some medical aid. The seemingly evil commander is revealed to have a DarkAndTroubledPast. Finally, the two go their separate ways, with the enemy commander retreating to their quarters and reflecting on the events.

* BittersweetEnding: [[StatusQuoIsGod Zeb is reunited with the crew]], but Kallus politely turns down his offer to surrender himself. When Kallus finally makes it back thanks to a passing trader, the Empire having given up after a day, the cold acknowledgement of Admiral Konstantine provides a somber juxtaposition between Zeb's "family" and the strictly-business relationship between Kallus' fellow Imperials.

* NiceJobBreakingItHero: Had Zeb not been so recklessly obsessed with taking on Kallus, he wouldn't have gotten stranded on Bahryn. [[spoiler:Then again, if they hadn't gotten stranded, Kallus wouldn't later decide to defect, so it evens out.]]

* NiceJobBreakingItHero: Had Zeb not been so recklessly obsessed with taking on Kallus, he wouldn't have gotten stranded on Bahryn.

** To ''Film/PitchBlack'', for a second time in this series. A roguish ProudWarriorRaceGuy and his enemy (who gets taunted for being "afraid of the dark") are forced to team up after being stranded on a moon at nightfall. They have to avoid getting eaten by a predator with a pickax-shaped toothed beak.

* TakeAThirdOption: After Kallus reveals that his bo-rifle was [[DefeatMeansRespect given by and taken from a Lasat honor guard he defeated]], Zeb cannot rightfully take away Kallus' bo-rifle according to Lasat honor rules. So how does he deprive Kallus of it without taking it away? He splints Kallus's injured leg with it.

** Averted. We find out now, a full season later, that Kallus lied in a [[Recap/StarWarsRebelsS1E01DroidsInDistress previous episode]] about ordering the use of the disruptors on Lasan. While he did participate in the genocide, he wasn't the one in command.

* TheNamesake: "The Honorable Ones", as in, plural. Zeb isn't the only character in the episode who proves to have a sense of honour.

* TheNamesake: "The Honorable Ones", as in, plural. Zeb isn't the only one in the episode that proves his honorableness.

** When Zeb points out that the Geonosians were wiped out by the Empire, Kallus is skeptical. All he knows is that they're gone now, and doesn't see any reason why the Empire would go to such lengths. Zeb tells him to look for the answer, though he might not like it. It seems to get to Kallus.

* PardonMyKlingon: Zeb's ever-versatile "Karabast!" {{Lampshade}}d.
-->'''Kallus:''' Karabast, ''karabast!'' What does that even ''mean''?!

* AllThereInTheManual: According to the episode's script, the creatures Zeb and Kallus fought are called Bonzami; and Kallus was rescued by a passing trader, with the Empire having stopped looking for him after using up the allotted time to search for a missing officer.

* DarkAndTroubledPast: Kallus reveals that the first time he ever went on a mission his entire crew had been wiped out by Rebels, and a Lasat mercenary went around and made ''sure'' everyone was dead. For reasons Kallus doesn't understand, he was [[SoleSurvivor spared]].

* {{Foreshadowing}}: Kallus mentions a Lasat mercenary who fought for Saw Gererra and how he slaughtered his unit with extreme prejudice. Come ''Rogue One'' and ''Ghosts of Geonosis'', we see how much of an extremist Saw Gererra is, showing that Kallus was not stretching the truth in any way to make himself the victim.

* SadisticChoice: As Kallus points out, Zeb can either activate the transponder, which will likely draw in the Empire first, or take his chances with the beast in the cave. Zeb instead modifies the transponder signal so a generic frequency any ship can pick up, increasing the chances that the ''Ghost'' crew will arrive first.

* CallBack:

* CharacterDevelopment:

* {{Determinator}}: When fighting Zeb, Kallus mockingly notes that "Lasat never know when to give up." Later, when they get stranded, Kallus is injured and cynical about the situation, so Zeb is the one that has to be optimistic about the situation and is the one who does most of the work, noting that Kallus's statement earlier is right.

* FantasticRacism: When Zeb hears Kallus's story of a Lasat killing wounded men, he tells Kallus not all Lasat are the same, to which Kallus asks if that holds true of Imperials.

* TakeAThirdOption: After Kallus reveals that his bo-rifle was [[DefeatMeansRespect given by and taken from a Lasat honor guard he defeated]], Zeb cannot rightfully take away Kallus's bo-rifle according to Lasat honor rules. So how does he deprive Kallus of it without taking it away? He splints Kallus's injured leg with it.

* VillainousFriendship: Averted with Kallus and Konstantine. Despite getting along far better than they do with the Inquisitors, Konstantine barely acknowledged Kallus when he greeted him for the first time since his rescue, proving that their relationship is truly just a professional one, and once again that for Imperial Soldiers, there is no friendship in war.

** Averted. We find out now, a full season later, that Kallus lied in a [[Recap/StarWarsRebelsS1E01DroidsInDistress previous episode]] about ordering the use of the disruptors on Lasan. While he did partake in the genocide, he wasn't the one in command.
** To a lesser degree, Kallus implied that he took the Bo-rifle from the corpse of the Lasat he killed, when in actuality the Lasat gave it to him. Zeb then informs Kallus that it's a Lasat tradition to give up one's weapon to a stronger opponent when bested in combat.
