Inside "The Honorable Ones"

Enredo

In this installment of Rebels Recon, StarWars.com goes inside the episode “The Honorable Ones,” with creator interviews and more. In “The Honorable Ones,” Zeb and Kallus find themselves stranded on an icy Geonosis moon.

Executive producer Dave Filoni says putting them together was unexpectedly rewarding. “You start to root for them as a team together,” he says. In the end, both characters learn from each other. In addition, the episode revisits Geonosis -- the incubation place of the Death Star. It’s touched upon briefly…and the mystery of Geonosis will be revisited later in the series.

Only Pablo Hidalgo knows the answers…
