History Recap / StarWarsTheCloneWarsS5E1Revival

'''Hondo''': Insolence? ''[laughs]'' We are pirates! We don't even know what that means!

-->'''Hondo:''' Traitors! ''Scum!'' I'm so proud!
** Then subverted...
--->'''Hondo:''' ... and so betrayed.
* AsskickingEqualsAuthority: Maul firmly establishes the pecking order between himself and Savage by flooring his brother in a brief dust-up, and tries to keep the pirates in line through shows of force. Deconstructed in the latter case; shows of force can frighten someone into following orders, but as soon as the tide turns against Maul, the pirates side with Hondo because he treats them better than anyone expects Maul to.

* ConservationOfNinjutsu: Obi-wan is capable of defeating the two brothers on his own, even when under normal circumstances each of them would pose a deadly threat on his own.

* AnachronicOrder: This episode was intentionally pushed up to be the season five premiere by the producers, which is why most of the episodes aired after this one feature Adi Gallia still alive on the Council and Hondo's base being completely intact. However, the DVD release puts it in the proper chronological order.

* RealityEnsues: Being a BadBoss is a terrible way to secure genuine loyalty. Maul tries to control Hondo's pirates through violence and fear, but as soon as the tide turns against them, the pirates defect back to Hondo, who they trust not to kill them for no reason.

* NeverFoundTheBody: The pirates find no sign of Maul and Savage in the wreckage of their ship. Hondo assumes that they were vaporized, but Obi-Wan, being well-acquainted with Maul's utter refusal to stay dead, [[GenreSavvy doesn't believe it]].

** Obi-Wan cuts off one of Savage's arms and breaks his knee with repeated kicks to it.

* ChekhovsGun: While dueling Savage, Adi Gallia kicks his left knee. After her death, Obi-Wan kicks that same knee several more times during his fight with Savage and Maul, eventually breaking it.

'''Maul''': ''True'' fortune would be the demise of Kenobi. Credit chips are useless without a plan.

'''Obi-Wan''': She's... dead.\\
'''Hondo''': She's d--? They're too powerful even for you?

* ArsonMurderAndAdmiration: Hondo's reaction when he learns some of his men have betrayed him.

* ColourCodedForYourConvenience: The blasters of the pirates who stay loyal to Hondo fire blue bolts, while those who are persuaded to join Maul and Savage shoot red. When Hondo persuades those pirates back to his side, their blasters start firing blue. This is the only time in the series that something like this has happened ''within'' an episode, although there have been several occasions where the blaster bolt colour of bounty hunter characters changed ''between'' episodes depending on whether they are currently with or against the protagonists.

* FourIsDeath: In a meta-example, this is the fourth episode Adi Gallia has an active role in. Also, in "[[Recap/StarWarsTheCloneWarsS3E14WitchesOfTheMist Witches of the Mist]]", there are four Council members waiting for the remains of Savage Opress' first victims to be brought back to the Temple. [[{{Foreshadowing}} Gallia was the first to speak of the brutality of their murder]], and the only one among them who isn't alive by the time of ''Film/RevengeOfTheSith''.

Fueled by vengeance and rage, the newly reunited brothers Savage Opress and Darth Maul spread terror and violence across the galaxy. As the Sith brothers forcibly recruit Hondo Ohnaka and his pirates, Obi-Wan Kenobi and fellow Council member Adi Gallia chase them down, leading to a deadly confrontation on Florrum.

* AnachronicOrder: This episode was intentionally pushed up to be the season five premiere by the producers, which is why most of the episodes aired after this one feature Adi Gallia still alive on the council and Hondo's base being completely intact.

* DiabolicalMastermind: Maul describes himself and Savage as "crime lords" and tries to start building up a powerbase with Hondo's pirates. This ends up blowing up in their faces, but at the end of the episode, Obi-Wan fears that the criminal underworld is exactly the kind of place where someone like Maul can flourish.

After his narrow escape from Raydonia, Obi-Wan Kenobi teams up with his fellow Council member Adi Gallia and tracks down Darth Maul and his brother-turned-apprentice Savage Opress to Florrum, where the Sith brothers attempt to take over the leadership of Hondo Ohnaka's pirate gang, which they want to use for their own means.
