History Recap / StarWarsRebelsS1E05OutOfDarkness

%% * GettingCrapPastThe Radar: Due to overwhelming and persistent misuse, GCPTR is on-page examples only until 01 June 2021. If you are reading this in the future, please check the trope page to make sure your example fits the current definition.

* BerserkButton: Sabine really doesn't like things being kept from her, especially if she's ordered not to ask questions.

* GettingCrapPastTheRadar: Hera's expression, tone of voice, and that she's in Kanan's personal space when she says "there's a lot you don't know about my ship" makes it sound laden with innuendo.

** Considering they are in an old Clone Wars-era Republic military base, it's no surprise a lot of old Clone Wars equipment shows up, like an ARC-170 and a Republic Gunship. The base also has rhydonium barrels, which first appeared in the D-Squad arc of ''[[WesternAnimation/StarWarsTheCloneWars The Clone Wars]]'', most famously used by the Separatists in an attempt to destroy a Republic fleet with a hijacked cruiser filled with thousands of the barrels.
** According to the Databank entry for [[http://www.starwars.com/databank/fort-anaxes Fort Anaxes]], it is indeed the same Republic base from ''[[WesternAnimation/StarWarsTheCloneWars The Clone Wars]]''' unaired Bad Batch arc (with concept art showing they even recycled the model for that base) and the asteroid field is [[EarthShatteringKaboom what's left of the planet Anaxes]]. During that arc, the Separatists attempted to blow up Anaxes with an underground bomb, but were thwarted. After the war, it seems that [[ShaggyDogStory someone went down there, reactivated the bomb and blew up the planet anyway]].

* GettingCrapPastTheRadar: Hera's expression, tone of voice, and that she was in Kanan's personal space when she says "there's a lot you don't know about my ship" makes it sound laden with innuendo.

* GunsAkimbo: Just look at the picture above.

* TotalEclipseOfThePlot: The planet where the base is located is surrounded by asteroids that occasionally block out the sun. Sabine points out the approach of a particularly large asteroid, which would obscure the sun long enough for them to be dispatched by the frynocks. She and Hera then work out a plan to combat them while the asteroid is above them.

!!Tropes in this episode:

* DefectorFromDecadence: Turns out Sabine really is an ex-Imperial cadet, and wasn't just sounding like the part in [[Recap/StarWarsRebelsS1E01DroidsInDistress "Droids In Distress"]].

* OhCrap: Ezra gives a [[PardonMyKlingon "Karabast"]] when he's pinned by a fyrnock.

-->'''Zeb:''' ''[chasing Chopper down a corridor; Sabine and Hera quickly move out of the way]'' CHOPPER! I'm gonna dismantle that rust-bucket!\\

-->'''Zeb:''' ''[chasing Chopper down a corridor; Sabine and Hera quickly move out the way]'' CHOPPER! I'm gonna dismantle that rust-bucket!\\

'''Hera:''' What you need is faith; faith that there is a [[TheAlliance long-term plan]] that's bigger than you or me, bigger than Lothal, bigger than the entire Outer Rim. Have faith in that and in us.

While out on what is supposed to be a fairly routine supply run Hera and Sabine find themselves stranded on an old, abandoned Clone Wars-era Republic military base. Unfortunately, they are not alone and they soon find out why the base was abandoned.

* DarkAndTroubledPast: Sabine used to be a student at the Imperial Academy on Mandalore. Then something happened that caused her to rebel against the Empire and also caused her to develop trust issues.
* DefectorFromDecadence: Turns out Sabine really is an ex-Imperial cadet and wasn't just sounding like the part in [[Recap/StarWarsRebelsS1E01DroidsInDistress "Droids In Distress"]].

* MachineEmpathy: After a close shave against some rocks in the ''Phantom'', Hera can immediately tell the steering is slightly off even though the on-board computer registers no damage.

* NiceJobBreakingItHero: Chopper purging the vents whilst Ezra's still in them leads to him leaping on Chopper, who runs over Zeb's foot & causes him to miss the fuel leak on the diagnostic. Zeb and Ezra both know exactly who caused that, and end the episode giving Chopper a dual DeathGlare.

* WeakenedByTheLight: The fyrnocks are harmed by direct sunlight. Subverted when Kanan turns the ''Ghost's'' floodlights on them; though it scares them off at first, they soon realize the light isn't harmful and ignore it.

->''"I want to believe we're doing good, making a difference. But sometimes it seems like the harder we fight, the harder things get out there. I feel like we can't take down the Empire on our own. [[SenselessSacrifice That's why I need to know this isn't all for nothing]]. I need to know that I am not walking into another nightmare here."''\\
''"What you need is faith; faith that there is a [[TheAlliance long-term plan]] that's bigger than you or me, bigger than Lothal, bigger than the entire Outer Rim. Have faith in that and in us."''

-->'''Ezra:''' ''[bringing up the rear]'' Save a few bolts for me!

* TeamMom: Hera in full force.

** The wrench that Ezra used to jam the gun turret in "Fighter Flight" is used to fix the steering.

-->'''Zeb''': ''[chasing Chopper down a corridor; Sabine and Hera quickly move out the way]'' CHOPPER! I'm gonna dismantle that rust-bucket!
-->'''Ezra''': ''[bringing up the rear]'' Save a few bolts for me!

-->'''Kanan''': Hera and Sabine are in danger.\\
'''Ezra''': Wow, how could you tell? Could you sense it?\\
'''Kanan''': No, I could hear you two yelling outside the door.
