Episode 131: Rebels: The Honorable Ones and Shroud of Darkness (Season 2, Ep. 17–18)

Dive out of your escape pod and into an enemies-to-lovers DREAM.

“The Honorable Ones” (Rebels S2, Ep. 17) strands Zeb and Agent Kellus on a dangerous moon. And there’s only one heating cube. ;) Our discussion centers on whether or not there’s space in literature for males to have intimate friendships without intimacy, and the dual theories on whether Kallezub is canon. We’ll see if there’s a continuation of these two!

Moving into far more esoteric territory, “Shroud of Darkness” (Rebels S2, Ep. 18) carries on the long-standing tradition of Force-centric Clone Wars episodes. We explore the nature of reality and the Force, and what really happens when we learn the lesson we had inside of us all along.

Join us for discussions about the Force, love, friendship, romance, and profound personal growth in this week’s episode.
