Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe plot of this episode, while likely making direct reference in its title to the 1958 Tony Curtis / Sydney Poitier film The Defiant Ones, in which two criminals chained together flee the law, draws more directly from John Boorman's 1968 Hell in the Pacific, in which an American officer (Lee Marvin) and a Japanese officer become stranded on a Pacific island during World War II. The two must come to some understanding in order to live. This film was remade in the 1980s as Enemy Mine, about a human and an alien stranded together who must rely on each other to survive. The trope is a good one and still works well in the context of Star Wars Rebels.
- GoofsWhen discussing with Agent Kallus how the temperature will fall at night, Zeb says that he "thought Geonosis was a desert planet" (they did not crash on Geonosis but rather one of its moons). It is a common misconception that a desert is a hot environment. Deserts are defined by their (lack of) precipitation, not their temperature. The largest desert on Earth is in Antarctica.
- Quotes
Zeb Orrelios: I see you modified it for close-quarters fighting. Impressive. But *you* shouldn't have it. It's not a trophy! Now hold still.
Zeb Orrelios: I didn't take it as a trophy. The Lasat Guardsman I faced, he... fought well, died with honor. He gave me the rifle before...
Zeb Orrelios: The Boosahn Keeraw.
Agent Kallus: The what?
Zeb Orrelios: The Boosahn Keeraw. The Lasat warrior way. When one is defeated by a superior foe, he gifts his weapon.

The Honorable Ones
If I had heard the premise of this episode in advance, I would have probably laughed it off as being a cliché. However, as I watched it, I started to understand to much this episode actually meant for the rest of the series. Not only does this feature two enemies starting to find trust for each other, but it also features a turning point for Kallus, or at least I hope so. I would love to see him actually turning and working with the rebels, as I think he could become a more fleshed-out character through that transition. Is the episode an homage to "Enemy Mine"? Yeah, but that shouldn't take away from it. A lot of other episodes of both these series' have borrowed from other films, and they have done great by them. This episode also added a lot of lore to the universe, like the extinction of the Geonosians. If there is anything that I didn't like, it was the limited roles that other crew members had, but even that didn't really bother me as much as I had thought, because I truly did love the storyline. This is back to the good stuff, and I'm excited to see what they cook up for us in the next episode.
