Ahsoka Sabine

I was one of those people. Rebels is the much better show. It's has more emotional impact than 90% of live action TV. Why else would I still be wondering what happened to Ezra. Why I jumped up an down when I heard about Ahsoka and the entire Ghost crew returning including Sabine. If the series a success, I'm have no doubt Sabine will end up on the Mandalorian and visa versa.

 

Right!!! If it was just Ahsoka dealing with these rogue Jedis I'd be happy. Whenever she appears I'm glad, but to hear the crew of the Ghost is returning?? I'm more than in. Also, in The Mandalorian episode where Ahsoka is in that fight w/fought her name...asks where's Thrawn? We know we were going to get a killer show. I agree about Sabine as well. She alone had developed a great story in Rebels with the Mandalorians, her family, the Darksaber, and she knows Bo. There's so much that can be done with her.

 

I can’t say I’m expecting much backstory for Sabine. Her mom and Bo were supposedly tight growing up and not a hint of the Wren’s when Bo was uniting the Mandalorians and taking back Mandalore. Not trying to come across negative, just subverting total expectations since I’m expecting this show to focus on Ahsoka and Thrawn.

 

You’re just keeping your expectations in check, not subverting them.

 

So the new trailer heavily implies In my opinion that Sabine is force sensitive. I am curious on what other people’s thoughts are on this?

currently as it stands now I ain’t a fan. But I am all for letting things play out. Maybe she isn’t and the trailer is just trying to be deceiving. Maybe she is and it’s done on a good way.

what is everyone’s thoughts on this

 

She was able to hold her own with the Darksaber without it becoming heavy so maybe?

 

I don't buy that she is force sensitive for several reasons.

Id be very surprised if they revealed that in the trailer for one thing. And if they decided they wanted people to know, id imagine it would be far less subtle with its reveal. Which if you wanted to say the trailer said it, then why is it even a speculative question being asked?

Id also think at this point it would have been revealed in Rebels if that was the case. We seen Canan training her in Rebels, but its never said she was force sensitive. And maybe thats the point to try to make her unique that she is getting saber training without the force.

Being handed a saber doesn't make you force-sensitive. A lightsaber is not thors hammer. It might be heavy but it is bearable heavy

 

My initial impression is that making Sabine Force-sensitive feels like a bit of a retcon, it’s weird that she’d be around Kanan for so long and they wouldn’t figure that out. But it would be cool to see her do some lightsaber fighting, or just become a Jedi if some sort, so I’ll keep an open mind. Knowing Filoni, he’ll have some elaborate explanation for it which will be fun to have savage arguments about

 

I'm open to the idea of Sabine being Force-sensitive. There's an awful lot of Force-sensitive bad guys with lightsabers for Ahsoka to fight off on her own. She needs an apprentice. Wait, where's Jacen Syndulla when you need him?

 

Jacen is still a pre teen.

 

It would be awkward but I reckon they could make it work that Sabine is force sensitive and that this is one of the reasons that Kanan trained her, maybe she told him not to tell anyone as she was hiding it or something. It would also open the way for her to eventually take Grogu under her wing...if she survives the series.

 

I don’t really see a problem with any character, under the right circumstances, learning to tap into the force and utilize it. And in this case, Sabine was literally best friends with three Jedi. So…she’s had the exposure and done the time. Not a stretch at all that it may have rubbed off on her.

 

My guess is that after the Purge Sabine felt responsible for it and decided that she is unworthy to wear her armor, instead she decided to follow the way of a Jedi and trained more with lightsaber. But in the first fight with Shin she will loose because of lack of Force-sensitivity. Eventually Sabine will accept her past, put on her armor once again and using both its features and lightsaber will be able to fight on par with Shin.

 

I highly doubt they will make Sabine Force Sensitive. I think this is just a continuation of what Kanan was teaching her to do with the DarkSaber.

 

He’s like what 10? Assuming the show takes place around the same time as Mando.

 

So, around the same age or older than Anakin in TPM. Old enough to be trained in the Force by now if started early. A candidate for Luke's Jedi school.

(Didn't mean to de-rail Sabine's thread into a Jacen Syndulla discussion. I see he has his own thread now.)

 

Did she suck out their midichlorians whilst they were asleep? It's quite plainly stated in canon that everybody has midichlorians, some more than other. The more you have the greater your potential for using the force. Obviously training helps but the Jedi were very selective who they trained (hence the testing kit for midichlorians). It's the difference between being able to move a pencil across a table and halting a spaceship in mid-air.

 

Right, and there's nothing in canon to indicate:

1. That Sabine didn't have an unusual number of midichlorians (she wasn't training to be a Jedi, and so we don't know if she had significant potential to be one)
2. That the amount of midichlorians in one's cells is determined at birth, and cannnot increase either organically or through tapping into the force

So, yeah. Your vampire scenario is not a necessary precondition for Sabine being force sensitive. There are other gaps in force canon that can explain it.

 

The vampire scenario is in response to you saying it 'rubbed off on her', that by being around Jedi that she could slave their powers.

 

Her on the ground, reaching her hand out while somebody says you have no power basically spells it out she’s got some sort of connection with the force. If that wasn’t enough, they knowingly put her using “master” in the trailer to Ahsoka too.

So either they’re not being shy about shoehorning her in as being force sensitive or Filoni deliberately added those lines in the trailer to troll us into this discussion and in that case, that’s a pretty lame thing to do.

As far as the question about how I feel Sabine being force sensitive is, I’m not entirely opposed to it as long as they make it feel organic in the overall story of this season. Personally, I don’t think she needs any force sensitivity but I’m also not gonna lose any sleep if they go down that route.

 

Figure of speech. The point was that she had the opportunity to learn how to tap into the force. From Jedi. You know, quiet her mind and listen to the midichlorians. Stuff like that.

 

If Vader and Luke couldn't see it in Leia despite her having the most midichlorians of anyone either of them will ever meet outside of each other, Kanan not seeing it Sabine isn't some great issue.

 

I kind of like the idea that Sabine might be Force-sensitive. We haven't seen a lot of Mandalorian Force sensitives or Jedi. And the fact that it wasn't mentioned in Rebels is good IMO-this means that the Ahsoka series won't just be a bunch of rehashed "we already know these characters, but we just thought you'd like to see them again," but rather we could potentially learn something new about them-even now! I don't see it as shoehorning at all-I see it as enriching what we already know about a character we love. They did that with Finn, and honestly I wished they had spent MORE time on his whole Force journey-even though TFA and TLJ didn't do anything at all to develop that point. Although I'm only cautiously excited for the future films with Rey, if Finn is a part of those that would be what I'd want to see the most-Finn as a Jedi!

Who knows what we'll learn after this series-and even once we see the film that they're working on leading to especially. What if Sabine even goes as far as to be one of Luke's students!? I mean, the possibilities for how things can potentially connect make me really excited-as if I wasn't ALREADY excited for this series. And you KNOW such a concept/connection as this would not by any means be hard to believe from Filoni and Favreau!

 

Thinking back, Sabine was an exceptional student at the Imperial Academy. If she was force sensitive, wouldn't one of the Inquisitors have snatched her under Operation Harvester? That was a notable plot point in Rebels, going back to Season 1.

Maybe she deserted before that could happen. But you'd think they'd send an Inquisitor after her if she was showing force potential after that all went down.
