History Recap / StarWarsRebelsS1E02FighterFlight

* ProducePelting: Ezra throws fruit at the stormtroopers to knock them off the transport.

* CallBack: To avoid getting crushed, Ezra reminds Zeb on how he saves his life in the past episode. According to Zeb [[YouOweMe he's been doing this every 23 seconds.]]

* DebtDetester: Zeb hates that he owes Ezra for saving his life — though that's probably because Ezra [[NeverLiveItDown won't stop reminding him]].

Hera, annoyed at how Zeb and Ezra are always at one another’s throats, kicks them off the ''Ghost''. While giving them the boot she hands them a list of things they are supposed to buy, including an impossible-to-find meiloorun -- a fruit not native to Lothal -- and tells them not to come back until they have it. Well, one thing leads to another and Zeb ends up stealing a TIE Fighter.

!!Tropes in this episode:

* ArmorIsUseless: Subverted in regards to Ezra's slingshot vs. Stormtrooper armor. They just power through it. One Stormtrooper even comments on this [[TemptingFate before being hit with a fruit]].

--> '''Ezra:''' What's the worst that could happen?\\

* DebtDetester: Zeb hates that he owes Ezra for saving his life -- though that's probably because Ezra [[NeverLiveItDown won't stop reminding him]].

* FacePalm:

* ImperialStormtrooperMarksmanshipAcademy: Downplayed in this episode -- the Stormtroopers actually shoot Zeb's hand at one point, knocking him off of the wall he was climbing up.

** The farm house the Imperials destroyed is similar to the Lars farm from ''Film/ANewHope''. Only the tenants don't suffer the same fate of Owen and Beru Lars.

* NeverLiveItDown: [[invoked]] Ezra won't let Zeb forget about saving him in [[Recap/StarWarsRebelsS1E01DroidsInDistress "Droids in Distress"]].

* ProducePelting: Ezra throws fruit at the Stormtroopers to knock them off the transport.

* UngratefulBastard: Inverted with Zeb -- while he is grateful that Ezra saved his life, he doesn't like that Ezra [[NeverLiveItDown won't stop bringing it up]].

----

* BreatherEpisode: Aside from the scene of farmers being forcefully evicted from their land, this episode is lighter-hearted compared to the episodes it is set between: [[Recap/StarWarsRebelsS1E01DroidsInDistress "Droids in Distress"]], in which we learned about Zeb's DarkAndTroubledPast, and [[Recap/StarWarsRebelsS1E03RiseOfTheOldMasters "Rise of the Old Masters"]], where the ''Ghost'' crew encounters [[KnightOfCerebus the Inquisitor]] for the first time. For the most part, it's a character-driven episode and nothing particularly major happens.

* BlatantLies: When asked what they did with the stolen TIE fighter, Zeb and Ezra say they destroyed it, but its pretty obvious they did no such thing.

-->'''Ezra:''' (whispering) Meiloorun?! Seriously?!

* NeverLiveItDown: [[invoked]] Ezra won't let Zeb forget about saving him in [[Recap/StarWarsRebelsS1E01DroidsIndistress "Droids in Distress"]].

** Ezra when he realizes that Hera sent him on a SnipeHunt.
** Kanan when he learns that Zeb and Ezra stole the TIE.

** Kanan also appears to execute a Kintan Strider Gambit against Chopper.
* NeverLiveItDown: [[invoked]] Ezra won't let Zeb forget about saving him in "Droids In Distress".

* TemptingFate: Kanan and Hera are noting the peace and quiet aboard the Ghost when Zeb and Ezra call up in a stolen TIE fighter.

* WhoNamesTheirKidDude: Ezra's reaction to Zeb's name of choice when communicating with Supply Master Lyste: Commander Meiloorun. "Meiloorun" as in the same fruit they were sent on a SnipeHunt for, and which the transports they're chasing have a crate full of.

* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: The hijacked TIE Fighter is supposedly destroyed offscreen, though it isn't explained how, and Zeb and Ezra laugh it off. [[AllThereInTheManual Supplementary material reveals that]] [[http://makingstarwars.net/2014/10/zeb-ezra-tie-end-fighter-flight/ they simply parked it between a few hills, where it most likely wouldn't be noticed]]. It eventually returns in the season finale.

* DebtDetester: Zeb hates that he owes Ezra for saving his life--though that's probably because Ezra [[NeverLiveItDown won't stop reminding him]].

-->'''Stormtrooper:''' (to Ezra) Wait, you did all this for fruit?

* FacePalm: Ezra when he realizes that Hera sent him on a SnipeHunt.

Hera, annoyed at how Zeb and Ezra are always at one another’s throats, kicks them off the ''Ghost''. While giving them the boot she hands them a ledger with things they are supposed to buy, including an impossible to find a meiloorun - a fruit not native to Lothal - and tells them not to come back until they have it. Well, one thing leads to another and Zeb ends up stealing a TIE Fighter.

--> '''Ezra''': What's the worst that could happen?\\
'''Zeb''': Well, we could both wind up dead.\\
'''Ezra''': Besides that.

* BreatherEpisode: Aside from the scene of farmers being forcefully evicted from their land, this episode is lighter-hearted compared to the episodes it is set between: "Droids in Distress", in which we learned about Zeb's DarkAndTroubledPast, and "Rise of the Old Masters", where the ''Ghost'' crew encounters [[KnightOfCerebus the Inquisitor]] for the first time. For the most part, it's a character-driven episode and nothing particularly major happens.

* CasanovaWannabe: Ezra tries to flirt with Sabine. Emphasis on "tries."
* ContinuityNod:

** At the end of the episode, Ezra mentions that he already has a TIE pilot helmet. He stole (another) helmet from the [[ButtMonkey very same pilot]] that he and Zeb stole the TIE fighter from in the "Property of Ezra Bridger" short.
* DayOfTheJackboot: Remember Tarkin Town? We get to see why the people ended up there first-hand in this episode.

* ImperialStormtrooperMarksmanshipAcademy: Downplayed in this episode - the Stormtroopers actually shoot Zeb's hand at one point, knocking him off of the wall he was climbing up

** The farm house the Imperials destroyed is similar to the Lars farm from ''A New Hope''. Only the tenants don't suffer the same fate of Owen and Beru Lars.

* UngratefulBastard: Inverted with Zeb - while he is grateful that Ezra saved his life, he doesn't like that Ezra [[NeverLiveItDown won't stop bringing it up]].

* WhoNamesTheirKidDude: Ezra's reaction to Zeb's name of choice when communicating with Supply Master Lyste: Commander Meiloorun. "Meiloorun" as in the same fruit they were sent on a SnipeHunt for, and which the transports they're chasing have a crate full of. The Imperials don't buy it either.

** "This is not the TIE fighter you're looking for."

'''Zeb''': We could both wind up dead.\\
