History Recap / TheBookOfBobaFettS1E7InTheNameOfHonor

* BlatantLies: When the X-Wing arrives in Peli's hangar, she starts loudly claiming that she had just filed to register her business with the New Republic. This is immediately after telling her droids to hide some engine parts that were almost certainly stolen by Jawas for her, making it clear to the audience she hadn't registered for anything.

* TheCameo: R2-D2 appears in the opening, piloting Luke's X-Wing from the astromech socket to drop Grogu off on Tatooine and meeting Peli and her crew.

** After taking Grogu out of the X-Wing, Peli Motto refers to him as [[AffectionateNickname "bright eyes"]] the same way she did back when [[Recap/TheMandalorianS1E5Chapter5TheGunslinger she first met him]].

* IWasJustJoking: Upon seeing him arrive in an X-Wing, Peli jokingly asks Grogu if they taught him how to fly a starfighter already. One of her pit droids tries correcting her, and she snaps back that she perfectly knows it was the astromech droid (R2-D2) piloting the X-Wing.

** Peli damn near panics when she sees an X-Wing approaching her hangar, thinking that a New Republic officer is paying her a visit while she's not exactly up to code. Of course, [[FiveSecondForeshadowing anyone who recognizes the distinctive R2 unit in the X-Wing]] will know exactly whose ship it is and why it's here.

* GoodGunsBadGuns: Several of the Pyke soldiers are carrying drum-fed blasters, likely in reference to the [[CoolGuns Thompson submachine gun]] of Prohibition-era gangsters.

** The other crime heads' decision to throw their lot in with the Pykes just means Boba has no competition claiming their territory once Fennec kills them.

* QuickDraw: Bane once again proves the fastest draw in the galaxy, easily out-shooting Boba. Fortunately, Boba has armor and Bane has to get within melee range to score a clean kill, nullifying that advantage.

* UnderestimatingBadassery: Cobb was expecting to have to make a hard sell to his fellow Freetowners to answer Lord Fett's call to arms in the previous episode... until Cad Bane showed up and gunned him down in attempts to scare the Freetowners into staying out of it. Quite the opposite occurred: the Freetowners saw it as a casus belli and become TheCavalry when Boba and Din are in a tight spot.

** Grogu is able to use his force powers to calm the Rancor down and put it to sleep. Just like how [[WesternAnimation/StarWarsRebels Ezra]] could use his abilities to bond with animals and calm them as well.

* TheCameo: R2-D2 appears in the opening, dropping Grogu off on Tatooine and meeting Peli and her crew.

* TheCavalry: Just when it seems like Boba and Din are going to be overwhelmed by the Pykes at the ruined Sanctuary, the citizens of Freetown arrive as much-needed reinforcements (complete with Cobb Vanth's {{leitmotif}} in TriumphantReprise). Moments later, the extricated Mod Gang comes charging in from the side. And another moment later, [[MadeOfIron Krrsantan]] makes it back, [[GrievousHarmWithABody hurling Pykes at each other all the way]] despite an ankle injury. The Pykes eventually counter this with the use of the Scorpenek droids.

* PluckyComicRelief: Instead of someone OffingTheAnnoyance, the majordomo surprisingly survives several near-miss attempts plus [[LickedByTheDog Peli takes a shine to him]], establishing him as this trope instead.

* UnderestimatingBadassery: Cobb was expecting to have to make a hard sell to his fellow Freetowners to answer Lord Fett's call to arms in the previous episode... until Cad Bane showed up and gunned him down in attempts to scare the Freetowners into staying out of it. Quite the opposite occurred: the Freetowners saw it as a cassus belli and became TheCavalry when Boba and Din were in a tight spot.

This is immediately after telling her droids to hide some engine parts that were almost certainly stolen by Jawas for her, making it clear to the audience she hadn't registered for anything.

* ItCanThink: The rancor shows considerable cunning during its fight with the Scorpenek droids, from using a discarded cannon as a shield against its guns, to [[PunchCatch catching]] and tearing off one of its legs when the droid tries stabbing it a second time and deliberately digging its claw into its electronic eye to blind it.

* MadeOfIron: Krrsantan gets tackled by several Trandoshans and takes multiple blaster hits. They barely slow him down. He also survives a vibroaxe chop to the head or back.

* LegCannon: Boba uses his knee mounted rocket launcher during the final battle against the Pykes.

* UnnecessaryCombatRoll: Skad does a pretty gratuitous twirl on himself before shooting a Pyke goon. Shouldn't be a surprise coming from the Mods gang, who seem to like the RuleOfCool.

* DavidVersusGoliath: Little Grogu goes up against the giant Rancor. {{Subverted}}, however, as instead of fighting, Grogu uses the Force to calm the Rancor.

** The crime families eventually decide to take a side... with the Pykes. Their betrayal does catch Boba by surprise and nearly route his forces. But once Boba manages to turn the tide with his Rancor and the Freetowners, [[OhCrap the heads of the crime families realize they backed the wrong side]]... and get assassinated by Fennec Shand for their blunder.

* PrimalFear: The rancor, despite its size and nearly invulnerable hide, runs from fire even though it wouldn't be harmed in any meaningful way. It does take a couple shots from Cad Bane's flamethrower to get it going, however.

* KingKongClimb: The rancor scales a tower after being driven mad by Bane's flamethrower and the townspeople trying in vain to stop it. Din uses his jetpack to reach its face and try to calm it but nearly gets eaten instead.

** Corrupt as the Mayor may be, he is horrified by the Pykes escalating the war against Boba to the point it could destroy the entire city.

* MightyGlacier: The Scorpenek droids are basically Droidekas on steroids. They're not as fast and can't BeTheBall like Droidekas, limiting their movement to a slow walk, but they have the firepower to take out tanks and much stronger DeflectorShields.
