History Recap / StarWarsRebelsS2E17TheForgottenDroid

* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: Last we see of the Imperial freighter captain, Chopper knocked him unconscious on the ship, which rejoined the rebel fleet on Atollon. Very likely, he's in Rebel custody.

* NeverTellMeTheOdds: AP-5 insists that Chopper's plan to get rid of the Stormtroopers only has about a 10% chance of succeeding. Chopper ignores him.

* {{Troll}}: AP-5 is no slouch. He first tells Chopper to take the helm of the ship while he hold's his leg. Then he drops the leg with an ''Oops!'' and takes the helm himself. When Chopper protests, he responds that he abandoned his post.

* DisneyDeath: AP-5 gets two blaster bolts to the back courtesy of the freighter captain, but since he's a robot, he is repaired by Sabine at the end.

* TheDogBitesBack: AP-5 makes his rebellion official after one insult too many from his captain.

* BreatherEpisode: While it is the first of a two-parter to ending the new base side plot and reveals backstory, it is the last lighthearted story before the finale.

->''"Where are you taking us? The rebel fleet? Why would I go there? How do I know your rebels will treat me better than the Empire? [...] Because... I am your friend?"

** [[Film/TheForceAwakens A rebel finds himself onto an Imperial ship, befriends an enemy who defects, and the two flee aboard an Imperial vessel, bickering about who is in command.]]

* AntiHeroSubstitute: Chopper befriends an equally grumpy and cynical protocol droid with a British RP accent and the pair becomes this to the more lighthearted robot duo from the films.

** Orondia is mentioned on a [[FreezeFrameBonus sign]]. The planet was briefly featured in the ''WesternAnimation/StarWarsTheCloneWars'' episode [[Recap/StarWarsTheCloneWarsS4E16FriendsAndEnemies "Friends and Enemies"]] as part of a throwaway scene where Cad Bane, Moralo Eval, and a disguised Obi-Wan made a stop for fuel in a [[BrickJoke minor ship scam]].

* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: Last we see of the Imperial freighter captain, Chopper knocked him unconscious on the ship, which rejoined the rebel fleet on Attilon. Very likely, he's in Rebel custody.

* {{Jerkass}}: The captain of the freighter is a complete douche towards AP-5 who doesn't give a damn about his corrections, and callously laughs at the thought of him getting sent to the scrap heat.

* DisneyDeath: AP-5 gets two blaster bolts to the back courtesy of the freighter captain, but is repaired by Sabine at the end.

* TheBusCameBack: Ketsu returns after her debut in "[[Recap/StarWarsRebelsS2E06BloodSisters Blood Sisters]]". It looks like she's joined the Rebellion, or is at least willing to help out whenever she can. Her presence was necessary as they needed an AcePilot to keep the [=TIEs=] off the fleet.

** Chopper reveals that he was shot down in a Y-Wing over Ryloth, hence how he ended up in Hera's custody as mentioned by Cham back in "[[Recap/StarWarsRebelsS2E14Homecoming Homecoming]]".
** Minister Tua describing Chopper as an "old C1 droid" back in "[[Recap/StarWarsRebelsS1E01DroidsInDistress Droids in Distress]]" also makes more sense now, as C1 models were likely dropped after the Clone Wars.

** The carrier that was stolen in ''Homecoming'' is officially named ''Phoenix Home'' to replace the one that was destroyed by Vader.

** Orondia is mentioned on a [[FreezeFrameBonus sign]]. The planet was briefly featured in the ''WesternAnimation/StarWarsTheCloneWars'' episode "Friends and Enemies" as part of a throwaway scene where Cad Bane, Moralo Eval, and a disguised Obi-Wan make a stop for fuel in a [[BrickJoke minor ship scam]].

* FunnyBackgroundEvent: As Chopper is trying to haggle for the leg, you can see the ''Ghost'' crew being chased into their ship and taking off without him.

** The voice acting also seems to be an [[{{expy}} homage]] to Creator/AlanRickman playing Marvin in ''Film/TheHitchhikersGuideToTheGalaxy''.

* HurricaneOfPuns: Ezra and Zeb get in a couple of shots at Chopper over his desire to purchase a new leg -- Zeb calling Chopper "Shopper", and Ezra telling him to "get a leg up on the situation". The Ugnaught salesman gets in on it, too, saying it won't cost him an "arm and a leg", although Chopper actually laughs along rather than scowl like how he did with Ezra and Zeb.
