Star Wars Rebels - The Honorable Ones

“The Honorable Ones” is a completely unexpected episode that fleshes out one of show’s important reccurring characters. The episode begins with the crew of the Ghost walking into a trap on Geonosis set by Agent Kallus (David Oyelowo). Separated from the rest of the battle, Kallus and Zeb (Steve Blum) continue their fight aboard a damaged escape pod which crash lands the pair on the snowy moon of Bahryn.
