The Mind-Blowing Revelation: Is Star Wars' Sabine Wielding Force Powers? Unveiling All the Compelling Evidence!
Is Sabine harnessing the Force in Star Wars? Analyzing the evidence: Ahsoka's mentorship, Sabine's use of Ezra's lightsaber, incomplete training, parallels with Kanan Jarrus, and her learning from Ezra's holo-recordings
The Ahsoka trailer hints at a significant twist involving Mandalorian Sabine Wren, suggesting that she may possess the power of the Force. In the Star Wars Rebels series, Sabine was a member of the Spectres who played a role in defeating Grand Admiral Thrawn before the events of the original Star Wars films. Now, Thrawn has returned, and Sabine will join forces with Ahsoka Tano to stop him and search for the missing Jedi Ezra Bridger. However, it appears that Sabine has undergone a significant transformation since her last appearance in Rebels.
Sabine, an artist and former cadet at the Imperial Academy, defected and joined the Rebel cell known as the Spectres after the Empire used her designs to harm her own people. She received some lightsaber training from Jedi survivor Kanan Jarrus when she briefly wielded Mandalore's legendary Darksaber. It seems that after the conclusion of the Rebels series, Sabine continued her training under a new master. The new Ahsoka trailer also presents compelling evidence that Sabine has discovered her personal connection to the Force during the time between Rebels and the upcoming Ahsoka series.
Ahsoka's Confirmed To Be Sabine's Master After Rebels
Revealed in the second Ahsoka trailer, it has been confirmed that Ahsoka took Sabine as her apprentice after the events of Star Wars Rebels. However, it is also confirmed that Sabine's training is incomplete as Ahsoka apparently left her, a decision she now regrets and compares to when she left her own master Anakin Skywalker during the Clone Wars. With Sabine stating that Ahsoka "never made it easy," it is clear that Ahsoka imparted more than just lightsaber combat skills to Wren, something she had already received from Kanan during Rebels.
Sabine Wielding Ezra's Lightsaber in Ahsoka Trailer
The confirmation that Sabine is now using Ezra's lightsaber provides further evidence of her potential Force-sensitivity, which was hinted at in the Ahsoka trailer. In a confrontation with the Dark Jedi, Shin Hati, Sabine manages to hold her ground and even reaches out her hand to him after being knocked down. While it is initially suggested that Sabine lacks power, this could simply be a misdirection before the series unveils her hidden development of Force abilities. It is important to note that while anyone can use a lightsaber, those who possess Force powers are better suited to wielding them, as they can establish a connection with the kyber crystals that empower these weapons. Sabine's ability to face Hati, who appears to be highly skilled, indicates that she may possess some level of Force aptitude.
Ahsoka Left Sabine's Training Before It Was Finished
Ahsoka's decision to leave Sabine's training unfinished may have been influenced by the same factors that led her to decline training Grogu in The Mandalorian. As Ahsoka has rejected her Jedi identity, she has no interest in training new Jedi and has entrusted that responsibility to Luke Skywalker, as depicted in The Book of Boba Fett. However, Ahsoka's exploration of her new identity within the Force may have conflicted with her initial choice to train Sabine. This tension would likely be rooted in the possibility of Sabine having a connection to the Force, rather than Ahsoka simply instructing her in lightsaber techniques.
Ahsoka Trailer Parallels Sabine With Kanan Jarrus
In the new Ahsoka trailer, Sabine's decision to cut her hair is reminiscent of the late Jedi, Kanan Jarrus, who also trimmed his hair towards the end of Star Wars Rebels before making the ultimate sacrifice in the animated series. This symbolic act signifies her readiness to embark on a new life journey. Sabine's choice to reunite with Ahsoka might also stem from her aspiration to receive further training from Tano, provided that circumstances have changed. Irrespective of the reasons, the deliberate parallel to Kanan, including the identical lighting as the scene from Rebels, hints at the possibility of Sabine possessing her own Force abilities, much like Kanan, Ezra, and Ahsoka herself.
Sabine Learning From Holo-Recordings of Ezra
Sabine's potential Force-sensitivity is further suggested in the new Ahsoka trailer, where she appears to be studying holo-recordings left by the missing Ezra Bridger in the Unknown Regions. With Ahsoka no longer present to continue Sabine's training, it is possible that the Mandalorian artist and Rebel has taken it upon herself to learn as much as she can from Ezra. The epilogue of Star Wars Rebels hints at Sabine's determination to locate and bring Ezra back home, indicating that she may be honing her own Force abilities as a necessary first step. We can expect the specifics of Sabine's training to be unveiled when Ahsoka premieres on August 23rd, with a two-episode release.
