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.

"I think I'll take my chances..."
I also thought this was a great episode.
I don't think it should be written off as a rip-off of an older movie. This premise has been done countless time in film and television. I think the writers made great effect of it here, further demonstrating the mostly inhuman nature of the Empire and even hinting at some possible future episodes or spin-offs (like what the heck happened to Geonosis).
This episode could not have been done better or as well had it started two different characters. I really dug their dynamic here. Kallis isn't a totally heartless jerk like some may have believed, and Zeb learns a bit about how divine forgiveness can truly be.
I didn't think any of the actions felt far fetched, and the last scene is actually pretty dang heartbreaking. It has me very excited for more of both of these characters, but especially Kallis.
One of the best in the entire show. They used a familiar premise in the best way possible for Star Wars.
