History Recap / StarWarsRebelsS2E02RelicsOfTheOldRepublic

* DeadlyDustStorm: The clones' walker heads into a storm bearing down on them since it'll make all their scanners, and the Imps' as well, useless. The clones have the advantage since they have Kanan and Ezra, who don't need scanners to find the AT-ATs.

* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: At the end, Rex shows up to greet Ahsoka, but no mention is made of how Gregor and Wolffe are passing the time.

* FailedASpotCheck: The Imperials fail to find the Ghost when its shut down to hide from their radar. They should have found it by simply looking out the window or it would have been seen by passing TIE Fighter.

* UltimateShowdownOfUltimateDestiny: The long-standing HypotheticalFightDebate about a clash between a Republic AT-TE versus an Imperial AT-AT finds its answer in this episode. The AT-TE proves to be inferior in pretty much every respect; it's slower, lighter, and has less powerful cannons that cannot penetrate the AT-AT's armor except at the weak and hard to hit neck joint. The only reason it manages to do any damage is because of the sandstorm and distractions by the ''Ghost'' crew.
** UpToEleven -- WordOfGod states that the AT-ATs that appear in this episode are larger and more powerful than the AT-ATs from ''The Empire Strikes Back.''

* PintSizedPowerhouse: The [=AT-TE=] is not pint-sized by any means, but it's easily dwarfed by the [=AT-ATs=]. Despite the size difference, the former is strong enough to lift the latter's feet off the ground. Unfortunately, it's still outmatched.

* {{Homage}}: The sequence where the AT-TE and AT-ATs move around in the storm is one to {{Sub Stor|y}}ies, with the twist that one side actually knows where the other is.

* HypocriticalHumor: When he's reunited with Ahsoka, Rex tries to lighten the mood by teasing her about how old she got. Rex, being a clone, suffers from RapidAging and biologically is in his mid-50ies. Ahsoka is polite enough not to call him on it.

* HypocriticalHumor: When he's reunited with Ahsoka, Rex tries to lighten the mood with teasing her about how old she got. Rex, being a clone, aged twice as fast as she did, and biologically is in his mid-50ies

---> '''Rex''': Just like the old days.

* ChewingTheScenery: When Wolffe charges the [=AT-TE=] at Kallus's [=AT-AT=], he, fittingly for his name, howls like a wolf.

* LastStand: Rex, Wolffe and Gregor try to pull one to cover the Rebels' escape, even ramming their vessel into an [=AT-AT=], whooping it up as they take on Kallus head-on.

* UltimateShowdownOfUltimateDestiny: The long-standing HypotheticalFightDebate about a clash between a Republic AT-TE versus an Imperial AT-AT finds its answer in this episode. The AT-TE is both outsized and outgunned.

* BigDamnHeroes: The Ghost crew return in the Phantom just in time to save the clones. Lampshaded by Rex.

* SenselessSacrifice: Subverted. The clones buying time for the Phantom to escape would have been this, as Kallus was relying on Konstantine's air support which had been called away for other reasons. Luckily, Ezra convinces Kanan to go back.

* TheAtoner: Wolffe makes it clear at the beginning of the episode that he is truly apologetic for selling out the Jedi out of paranoia and fear for his brothers' safety, first by attempting (albeit futile) to backtrack on his sellout and then fighting against Agent Kallus's [=AT-ATs=] alongside the other clones to cover the ''Ghost'' crew's escape, even if it meant [[RedemptionEqualsDeath dying]]. Luckily for him, the crew came back to save their lives, preventing the last part.

* OrbitalBombardment: Constantine offers this suggestion after the TIE is shot down, but Kallus goes in with [=AT-ATs=] instead. Presumably, he wants prisoners, not corpses.

* SpannerInTheWorks: Vader calling off Kallus's Star Destroyer for a rendezvous with the Fifth Brother prevents it from intercepting the ''Ghost''. Constantine even complains to this effect, but the Fifth Brother doesn't care.

'''Kallus:''' The serve the Empire well, and I have a great many of them.\\

* BlindfoldedVision: Exploited when Kanan helps manuever the AT-TE during the storm and Ezra fires at an AT-AT he can't see.
* BrickJoke: Ezra guilts Kanan into going back for the clones by pointing out that Rex is Ahsoka's friend. Later, when Rex and Ahsoka hug, Ezra looks back at Kanan and Kanan shrugs.

* RightUnderTheirNoses: Hera hides the Ghost underneath the Star Destroyer with the power off.

* YouJustHadToSayIt: Hera does this to herself when she tells Kanan that the Imperials haven't arrived yet, only for a Star Destroyer to hyperspace in right at the end of her sentence.
