Breaking News: Ahsoka's Indispensable Role in Sabine Wren's Lightsaber Trials Brings a Game-Changing Evolution to Ezra Bridger's Weapon!
Discover the intriguing modifications made by Sabine Wren to Ezra Bridger's lightsaber, unraveling the secrets behind this pivotal change in Ahsoka
Sabine Wren modified Ezra Bridger’s lightsaber in the Ahsoka show. Sabine, a talented Mandalorian warrior, artist, and engineer, was a vital member of the Ghost Crew and the Rebellion in Star Wars Rebels. Ezra, a young Jedi Padawan and close friend of Sabine, entrusted her with his lightsaber before sacrificing himself in the final season to save his homeworld from the Empire.
During San Diego Comic-Con 2023, Sabine Wren’s official lightsaber was showcased, revealing the modifications she made to Ezra’s weapon. Notably, two elongated rounded metal plates were added around the emitter, although their exact purpose remains unknown. Screen Rant’s Rob Keyes provided a closer look at Sabine’s lightsaber through a video shared on Twitter.
Why Did Sabine Wren Alter Ezra Bridger’s Lightsaber?
: Due to the teaser in the Ahsoka trailer suggesting that Sabine might have acquired the ability to use the Force while being mentored by Ahsoka Tano, it is noteworthy that she was still unable to do so in Star Wars Rebels. This could potentially explain why she made the decision to modify Ezra's lightsaber.
Surprisingly enough, this marked Ezra's second lightsaber. The initial one boasted a highly practical and distinctive design, enabling him to both shoot blaster bolts and serve as a lightsaber. However, his second lightsaber took on a more conventional appearance, reminiscent of the weapons wielded by renowned characters like Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker. Representing Ezra's growth and journey as a Jedi, lightsabers hold an utmost personal significance as they are a true extension of a Jedi's identity. For Sabine, it was essential to impart her own touch while honoring her friend's legacy. Being both an artist and engineer, she possessed the knowledge to determine what would suit her best as a fighter, especially since she had previously trained with another lightsaber – the Darksaber.
While the Darksaber and Ezra's lightsaber differ significantly, Sabine potentially believed that the added plates on the emitter could enhance her ability to handle the green blade more effectively and securely. As she may still lack proficiency in using the Force, she must exercise extreme caution when wielding a lightsaber and utilize any advantages available to her. Hopefully, with Ahsoka's upcoming appearance in August, viewers will gain further insight into Sabine's training with Ezra's lightsaber and her personalized approach to it.
