I wonder if Zeb is going to get an outright arc of his own this season.
I just realized that the whole thing about "the child saving the warrior and the fool" didn't actually fire in the episode with the Lasat prophecy. It must've been referring to this episode, at least in part (depending on whether Hondo also appears).

I assumed the warrior to be Kallus.
Anyway, with the two stranded like that, the "afraid of the dark" taunt and the predators that are apparently lurking on the moon, this is the second time Rebels has reminded me of Pitch Black.

Zeb assumed multiple roles in that episode.
Kallus was the warrior, as he was hunting the Ghost crew and the Lasats, and Zeb initially thought that he was the warrior because he was an Honor Guard of Lasan, but he actually turned out to be the child (child of Lasan) as well as the fool, I think.
Mistakes Were Made
I think Hondo was the fool, though the old lady said Zeb had traits from all three.
‘My ignorance is just as good as your knowledge.’
Kallus was the warrior, Hondo was the fool, Zeb was the child (of Lasat).
In the prophecy, there's a line about the child saving the fool and the warrior, which iirc doesn't actually happen in that episode.

X-14: Killer Cheese
So I was looking at the character page, and it seems the Ghost's crew is practically a Super Team:
- Hera is a ridiculously good pilot, leader of a fighter squadron, and daughter of a hypercompetent revolutionary.
- Kanan is a jedi turned gun-fighter.
- Zeb was a military leader and possibly The Chosen One of the Lasat.
- Sabine seems to have both Imperial military and Mandalorian warrior training, is a demolitions expert and skilled all-around technician, and a former bounty-hunter.
- Chopper is an extremely skilled hacker and has unparalleled bloodlust.
- Ezra is the least impressive of them, but he's a decent thief as well as a Jedi, and he and his parents are revolutionary icons on Lothal.
Maybe, but not by Star Wars standards. Kanan is downright harmless compared to pretty much any jedi seen before him, and both Zeb or Sabine, while dangerous, aren't on the same threat level than some other non-Force users.
To be a Master
I wonder what would happen to Kallus after this? Will he be unrepentant and Ungrateful Bastard after all is said and done, or will he pull a Reinrassic III here? Or will he die?

It makes sense given the show's general Saturday Morning Action Cartoon vibe, with the whole team of action heroes thing. Each of them pegs a character archetype from shows like that.

The Fastest Man Alive
Also, given what they do, why would they bring someone completely useless along?
It's less that they're all exceptionally skilled, and more that they're a Team Of Specialists. Warrior, demo expert, hacker, thief...they're basically an RPG party.
Not a bad episode. Reminded me of both Pitch Black and The Isolated episode from Tron: Uprising.
Pretty solid episode.
Good question-what happened on Geonosis?
I'm not the nicest bloke you've ever met, but I do me best.
Look up the new Star Wars: Darth Vader comics. I think it's in issue 4 or 5.

Weird, this new design looks. Closer to ESB, though, hmm.
I think it's a huge improvement. The Clone Wars Yoda had eyeballs bigger than my fists...
I've got Frozen, Spectacular Spider-Man, Crash, Spyro, and Paper Mario fanfics.
Well, and he almost had a beak. But here at 1:05 he reminds me of Palpatine of all people.
Brightness
Okay, loved The Honorable Ones, especially Kallus at the end. Really want to see him get more focus in the future. Chopper gonna Chop.
Not sure I'm a fan of Yoda actually appearing, vision or not.

I'm not so sure about them trying to sell Kallus as an honorable Noble Demon warrior who just didn't know the depths of the Empire's cruelty, but other than that this episode was fantastic.
Every time Zeb gets focus, I like him more and more as a character. I always liked how the avoided the obvious character type with Zeb and instead gave him some great development.

I really liked that Kallus got humanized and fleshed out in The Honorable Ones. The episode really made it feel like Kallus has a lot of similar ideals as Zeb, such as respect and honor for fellow warriors, but he doesn't get to experience camaraderie like Zeb does with the Ghost crew.
And Kallus really hates that.
It's more like they're trying to sell Kallus as a Knight Templar Anti-Villain who believes that all rebels are murderous scum based on his personal experience (whaich trope was that?). He is aware for the most part of how the Empire deals with them but sems convinced that every last one rebel deserves it. And until this episode, he had a special hatred for Lasats.
