In fact, it was while training to wield the Darksaber on Rebels that she picked up some of the lightsaber skills she gets to show off in the first episode of Ahsoka.
Not only did she help liberate Lothal and her home planet of Mandalore from the Empire (before the Great Purge destroyed the latter’s surface) but she was also the wielder of the Darksaber before Bo-Katan Kryze, Moff Gideon, and Din Djarin. The vibes are simply not great for this beloved member of Clan Wren.īut we all know what Sabine can do at her best. She’s also had a falling out with Ahsoka, who attempted to train her in the ways of the Jedi. In Ahsoka, which takes place about a decade after the events of Rebels, we meet a Sabine who is still struggling with the loss of friend Ezra Bridger and who has not warmed up to the hero status the rest of the galaxy has bestowed on her. The character was introduced in the Rebels animated series, originally voiced by Tiya Sircar, and is played in live action by Natasha Liu Bordizzo, who got her start in 2016’s Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon: Sword of Destiny.
Two episodes in, it’s very clear that this show is as much about Mandalorian warrior Sabine Wren as it is about Ahsoka herself.
