The interaction between Shin and Sabine in Ahsoka is exhilarating, as their duels exude an intense and formidable force.
Shin's character development continues to evolve, offering the possibility of redemption with the assistance of Sabine or another character before the season concludes.
Ivanna Sahkno, the actress portraying Shin Hati, has expressed her thoughts on filming her initial battle scene with Natasha Liu Bordizzo's Sabine Wren in Ahsoka. The dark Jedi Padawan has swiftly earned a place as one of the viewers' beloved characters in the latest Star Wars Disney+ television series, accompanied by her master Baylan Skoll, portrayed by Ray Stevenson. Shin's exceptional combat skills, acquired through her master's guidance and her own inherent abilities, have been proven in numerous duels against Sabine. Now, Sahkno shares her personal reflections on filming this memorable first confrontation.
In a previously recorded Star Wars video, Sakhno and Bordizzo discuss their experience of igniting their sabers for the first time as Shin and Sabine. Sakhno describes the moment as if they were unlocking the gates into the universe.
For Sakhno, this marked a new beginning after months of training for their Force-sensitive Ahsoka roles. As the first live-action lightsaber duel between two women in Star Wars, this duel was significant for both actresses and the wider galaxy.
The Dynamic Between Sabine & Shin Is Electrifying
The dynamic between Ahsoka, Sabine, and Shin in Ahsoka has been electric, captivating viewers and igniting hopes for a deeper connection between the characters. Their intense duels showcase their raw energy and make them a perfect match. Sahkno and Bordizzo's passion for lightsaber dueling shines through. Now that Shin is alone with her own secret agenda, there's potential for redemption with the help of someone like Sabine. Ahsoka has offered assistance, and although Shin has initially declined, she may reconsider and accept the offer. The dynamic between Shin and Sabine shouldn't be wasted, even if it results in another duel if Shin chooses not to redeem herself yet. Shin's character still has much to reveal in the Ahsoka finale, and hopefully, she'll have one more chance to wield her lightsaber before season 1 ends.
Ahsoka releases new episodes Tuesdays at 6 pm PT / 9 pm ET on Disney+.
