Unleash Your Inner Warrior: Sabine Wren Takes the Star Wars Universe by Storm as an Unstoppable Survivor

Highlights

Star Wars video games are entering a new golden age with recent releases and upcoming titles.

Cute and unique sidekicks have become essential in various Star Wars media, such as video games. An ideal game centered around Sabine Wren could incorporate a Loth-cat companion, akin to the charming furry creature found in Star Wars Outlaws.

Fans may be witnessing the dawn of a new era for Star Wars video games. Despite EA's previous mishandling of the Star Wars license and their limited production of games over nearly a decade, there are signs of improvement. Recently, LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga was released, followed by the launch of Star Wars Jedi: Survivor a few months ago. Additionally, there are several upcoming Star Wars games on the horizon, including mobile arena shooters like Star Wars Hunters and AAA open-world RPGs like Star Wars Outlaws.

This is an exhilarating time for both gamers and Star Wars enthusiasts, as it appears that the beloved science fiction franchise is just beginning to flourish. With numerous television shows in development and a new series of movies planned, there is now more inspiration than ever for future Star Wars video game ideas. One intriguing concept with great potential could be a game centered around Star Wars Rebels and the character Ahsoka's Sabine Wren. This game could even incorporate a recurring trait that has become synonymous with modern Star Wars video games.

A Sabine Wren Game Could Feature Its Own Cute Companion

Cute and unique companions have always been a significant part of the Star Wars universe. In the original trilogy alone, numerous characters and creatures embody this concept, such as the lovable R2-D2, Wicket the Ewok, and even Jabba the Hutt's Kowakian Monkey Lizard companion, Salacious B. Crumb. This theme extends to the majority of Star Wars media, with K2SO in Rogue One, BB-8 in the sequel trilogy, and Grogu in The Mandalorian.

In recent years, this trend has also made its way into Star Wars video games, with BD-1 from Star Wars Jedi serving as the perfect example. BD-1 not only possesses a vibrant personality but is also essential in gameplay, providing healing abilities to player-character Cal Kestis and the ability to scan environments and generate a map of the surrounding area. Among Star Wars companions, BD-1 stands out as one of the most memorable, skillfully integrating into the medium of video games.

Star Wars Outlaws seems to be following the classic Star Wars trend, as shown in its released trailers. Players will assume the role of smuggler Kay Vess, accompanied by the adorable creature named Nix. Nix, resembling a furry axolotl, surpasses BD-1's usefulness by interacting with the environment to distract enemies, retrieve weapons from the ground, and deliver them to the player.

If Disney decides to give the green light to a Sabine Wren game, it already has its own version of this trope at the ready. In the initial episodes of the Ahsoka Disney+ series, Sabine is shown caring for a small Loth-cat. The Loth-cat, a beloved creation of Dave Filoni, has made appearances in various Star Wars media, solidifying its standing as a new mascot for the franchise in its latest appearance in Ahsoka. Although the Loth-cat bears similarities to Nix from Star Wars Outlaws, it would make an excellent companion for a potential Sabine Wren Star Wars game. Even if the Loth-cat didn't accompany Sabine during missions, its presence on the ship would surely be a delightful highlight for fans of the franchise.
