Ahsoka Sabine

@Jedi Knight Fett Why not?

 

That may have just made my night. That's a scene I really want now! At first I was just thinking it wouldn't make much narrative sense if someone took the saber from her, unless that was a way to put her on the Mandalorian map, and so like Din she'd have one simple aim and stumble into something else in the process.

But even regardless of that thought, this could essentially be why she has Ezra's saber and before being able to return it to him; it's that same parallel to Din! She just wants to return it to Ezra but also ends up using it to pass on what she's learned to another Mando. "My task is to return this saber to a Jedi." I'm liking this rabbit hole.

 

Oh I thought she straight up didn’t have it anymore lol

 

True, and it is a standout episode. "The Empire wanted to destroy worlds, and they did; they destroyed mine." The way her voice breaks on the last part gets me every time. IIRC, the whole thing was animated around Tiya's performance, and I wonder how much that alone counts toward having her having the part for live action.

 

I imagine she keeps Ezra's lightsaber close...even if they do not got he romantic route with Sabezra then she does to so honor him.

And Kanan's lightsaber was given to Thrawn by Pryce as proof of Kanan's death....so where ever Ezra and Thrawn showed up I would think that Ezra is carrying Kanan's lightsaber.

 

Plus she can actually wield the thing

 

I wonder if the Houses are still around, especially after the Great Purge. The Protectors weren't fond of House Vizsla, with which Clan Wren was aligned. Hopefully Paz Vizsla's still around because I want to see how all these things collide.

I can hear her sighing already. And on the other side, Din and at least some of the audience are taken aback at Sabine's armor. I can imagine Din's progression is like a trip through Mandalorian history. The signet is probably an ancient practice, and specifically for Din comes to represent his connection to Grogu. Then he meets Bo-Katan, who comes from a less zealous group and has some painted imagery on her armor. Then comes Sabine, younger and less rigid still, who takes the armor aesthetics to another level. So she inspires the next addition or alteration to Din's armor to reflect the next part of his growth.

Also, speaking of Bo, Alex Damon (Star Wars Explained) mentioned in a season 3 speculation vid that she may try to rally more support for herself. Maybe she'd go to Sabine, maybe thinking Sabine owes her?

 

Hey, it makes sense. It could be an interesting challenge for Sabine, since she seemed to admire Bo (and had to be apologetic about the Duchess).

 

I mean, it'd be interesting to know what exactly Sabine does between ROTJ and the Rebels epilogue. I read it as implied that she mostly dedicates her time to Lothal as an adopted home, but given that we now know there's a pretty brutal purge and things really don't go Bo's way, it's hard to think Sabine wouldn't be involved in the Mandalorian struggle in at least some way. Especially since her family surely must be.

 

There was a throwaway line in the comics that indicated Sabine also continued her participation in the Rebellion. Sabine was a skilled slicer, and some new character indicated that there was a skilled slicer on the Geist, which was Hera's Mon Cala Cruiser during the events of the GCW. Sabine is the one who sliced into the comm center in Season 1 on Lothal and Lucasfilm even made it a point in the Mandalorian that Mandos could be skilled slicers when Axes Wolves sliced into the Imperial Gozanti.

 

Eh it’s possible or it was just a nod to Hera

 

I have decided that if it were up to me, I would have ALREADY cast Olivia Munn as Sabine Wren, to portray her in the Ahsoka live action limited series.

I don't think I could ever find a more suitable actress to play Sabine Wren. She's got the whole package for Sabine. Quirky and passionate personality, appearance that matches perfectly with Sabine, is totally in the right age to play Sabine in her early 30s in that timeframe (I was shocked to see Olivia Munn is 40 years old, she looks 10 years younger to me), and is talented to pull it off perfectly. I know it's a longshot, but I wish this happens.

 

I mean, I think that all works. Literally all we have is "the vibe" of that epilogue. She ends the "proper" series on Lothal as part of the Ghost crew who at that point are almost a total splinter group that's barely part of the Alliance, and feeling a strong debt to Ezra that she doesn't fully understand... and later, she's on Lothal and very much seeming to be at home there, noting that the Empire never tried to retake the planet.

In between we know that Hera goes back and becomes very involved at a command level with the Alliance, and other than that vague maybe-reference noted above there's little suggestion that Sabine is with her in any sense. (I do remember Zeb showing up briefly in a comic with Hera.)

So yeah, it's all the "vibe" that she's tied to Lothal for various reasons, but the more we know about the Purge, the more it seems likely that she'd have to be involved in that somehow. Her family kind of barely lets her go from the conflict to begin with, so in a sense it was always the case that she had Mandalorian business to attend before settling down as seen in the epilogue.

 

I'd like that too.

Not to lean too heavily into the "vibe" thing, but she's been through some awfully "spiritual" stuff which brings an interesting thing into focus which she could blend into Mando culture, making her a bit of the "spiritual heir" to Tarre Viszla. Consider:

1. She's probably a literal descendant.
2. She's more associated with Jedi than just about any living Mandalorian.
3. She's wielded Tarre's darksaber (and got genuinely good with it).
4. She's just seen a lot of freaky-deaky Force stuff.
5. Even her art style has been influence by Jedi murals and concepts.

Just thinking that gives her a bit of a unique perspective that also happens to call back to her heritage.

 

Either I didn't realize or forgot that she used the same spreading lines from the temple mural. It's curious, though, that she depicted herself in the coloring from the first part of season 4, before the return to Lothal.

 

Probably because its a mural of the crew all together, and they got split up and Kanan died during the return to Lothal.

 

I thought that graffiti was a possible hint at her presence, which turned out incorrect. But I still have the theory of one prominent female Mando introduced per season.
