Changes: Sabine Wren

Revision as of 03:40, 7 August 2020

Sabine Wren was a Mandalorian Human female weapons expert who was active during[2] the reign of Galactic Emperor Palpatine[3] around five years before the Battle of Yavin.[4] She was also a graffiti artist who customized her armor and tagged a new symbol every time the crew of the Ghost struck Imperial targets. She also makes a guest appearance in To Steal an Spaceplane.

Relationships

Family

Clan Wren

Sabine is a daughter and supposed heir of the Mandalorian Clan Wren. Besides Sabine herself, the only other known member of the clan is Sabine's mother. Sabine has revealed next to nothing about her family, aside from that her mother was a member of Death Watch due to Clan Wren being affiliated with House Vizla.

Recently, from Gar Saxon, Sabine has learned her mother is working with the Empire and looking for her. Despite this news, Sabine has enough faith in her mother to believe her mother is being coerced.

In "Trials of the Darksaber" , not only did Sabine mention that she has a brother, but she also revealed why she'd left Mandalore. She also said that she'd made weapons that the Empire used on her friends and family. She tried to stop them, but when she did they sided with the Empire. Although she left them, everything Sabine's ever done has been for her family and Mandalore.

Allies

Hera Syndulla

Sabine and Hera shared a daughter-mother bond. Sabine always told Hera about any of her problems or troubles. However, Sabine can get annoyed from time to time when Hera keeps her in the dark. After Sabine was injured by Darth Vader, Hera was worried about her and asked if she was alright.

Kanan Jarrus

Sabine looked up to Kanan due to his leadership skills and abilities, and possibly shared a father-daughter bond with him. It has been shown that Sabine gets annoyed by Kanan, calling him frustrating. But, when Kanan was captured by the Empire, Sabine showed that she was willing to go to the extreme to save him. The one thing they agree on, is helping Ezra through his troubled past. When he started training her in lightsaber combat, Kanan was also the one who was finally able to learn about Sabine's troubled past by pushing her to admit why she left and what she was afraid of.

Ezra Bridger

As the two youngest members of the crew of the Ghost, Sabine and Ezra were good friends. Although Ezra instantly developed a crush on Sabine the moment she first revealed her beauty to him. She disregarded and tried to ignore his awkward attraction to her, considering him just a good friend. Over time, she came to see Ezra as a younger brother, and was very protective of his well being. She even went as far as obtaining and cleaning out a hologram file of Ezra and his parents and was instrumental in helping Ezra confront his demons about his parents' whereabouts. Since "Gathering Forces", Sabine and Ezra's relationship has grown a great deal, as it's been shown that Sabine cares enough about Ezra's feelings to know when to stop talking about his parents when he enters a room. Sabine has shown that she has complete trust in Ezra, as she was willing to let him lead her and Zeb on a mission to find Kanan, even behind Hera's back. Sabine has also been shown that she doesn't like it when Ezra uses his powers to threaten people, as he did to Vizago, showing that she wants Ezra to follow the right path. Ezra trusted Sabine enough not to tell Hera that he and Zeb didn't crash the stolen TIE Fighter. The two even worked on the TIE together behind everyone's back. Despite Sabine's protective side of Ezra, she does occasionally like to tease him, as she had Chopper lock down his feet to make Ezra believe that he couldn't lift him, and even said she 'knows what he smells like'. It is shown that Ezra is willing to sacrifice his own life for Sabine's safety. They often tease each other and joke around, with Ezra occasionally flirting and cracking jokes with her on missions together. Since Ezra doesn't act the way he used to whenever he was around her, he may not have a crush on her anymore. On the other hand, he could simply be refraining from his old habits out of respect for her.

Since Ezra started becoming more aggressive, Sabine has been shown to be worried and a little bit snippy with him, even arguing against his rather aggressive methods.

When Sabine went undercover to find the three pilots (Wedge, Rake, and Hobbie), Ezra was extremely concerned about her safety. He hated being unable to do anything to help her. When Kanan asked Ezra if he trusted her, Ezra told him that he did, to which Kanan then impressed into Ezra that he must learn to accept there are things outside his control, insinuating to Ezra that he had to trust Sabine could handle herself.

When Ezra was captured by Saxon, and Rau disagreed with saving him and called him a pawn, Sabine corrected him, saying Ezra wasn't a pawn. And she had total confidence Ezra could take care of himself. Later on, Ezra was visibly startled when Sabine abruptly embraced him, even though it was to hold onto him when she intended to use her new jet pack to escape Saxon and his squad. This could imply his crush on her persists, albeit a bit more subtly. After the mission Ezra had a new found respect for Sabine. Later, during a mission above Wynkahthu, Sabine was relieved when Zeb saved Ezra and himself from a fatal fall, though she seemed somewhat more concerned about Ezra.

Sabine (along with Kanan and the others) were concerned about Ezra when he began to hear and see Maul. When Ezra tried to kill a fellow rebel (because he thought that he was Maul), she tried (unsuccessfully) to hold him back. Once Kanan had helped Ezra realize that the Maul, he was scared and confused, prompting Sabine to place a comforting hand on his shoulder. Out concern for Ezra, she placed a tracker on his com link (without him knowing). She and Kanan followed Ezra and Maul to Dathomir to help him. Despite Ezra's warning, Sabine (and Kanan) opened fire on the Nightsister ghosts. Ezra was very concerned when Sabine and Kanan were possessed by the spirits. After fighting her while she was possessed and freeing her, Ezra warned Sabine not to go back into the cave. Despite Sabine's concern, Ezra ran back in to save Kanan. Ezra was upset with Sabine for going back in, and admonished her for not listening to him. However, Sabine pointed out that she'd never listened to him before, and asked him why she should start now.

When Rau and Kanan proposed that Sabine train in the use of the Darksaber in hopes of using it to rally Mandalorians to join the Rebellion, Ezra expressed skepticism at her ability to master the weapon without the Force. Despite this, he assisted in her training, going over the basic saber forms with her and then sparring with her. The two bickered during a few of these exchanges, though their relationship remained amicable; Ezra would later go after her when a loss to Kanan prompted her to storm off. Ezra offered his sympathies but was promptly informed that he had no idea what she was going through at the prospect of facing her family; acknowledging this, Ezra pointed out that she was at least fortunate enough to still have her family. This cooled Sabine's temper and made her apologetic, and she subsequently returned to Kanan and apologized; after she revealed the truth about her past with the Empire, Ezra joined Rau in expressing his support for her.

Besides Kanan, Sabine is the second closest person to Ezra.

Garazeb Orrelios

Sabine treated and thought of Zeb like an older brother, coming to appreciate how he looked out for her and his crewmates. Zeb in turn cares for and respects Sabine, and often follows her lead due to her greater knowledge in how the Empire works, and he trusts her enough to watch his back.

Ahsoka Tano (Star Wars Rebels)

Sabine didn't know much about Ahsoka since the latter girl went by her codename "Fulcrum". Sabine tried so hard to find out who "Fulcrum" but Hera told her what she needed to know, which, makes Sabine feel untrusted. However, Sabine grew to respect the former Jedi's wisdom and Ahsoka tasked her with many handy work, such as re-activating the clone caller to find help Ezra, Kanan and Zeb find an old friend the Togruta's who can supply the rebel fleet with a list of useful bases.

Lando Calrissian

Lando flirted with Sabine by telling her that her painting's were magnificent. Sabine seemed rather flattered by his comments (which resulted in Ezra getting jealous) and offered to show him some of her more "impressionistic" paintings. Lando later offered to buy some her work, but she replied with a questioning tone, speculating that she may be on to his intentions.

Ketsu Onyo

Sabine and Ketsu go back to their days in the Mandalorian Imperial Academy, from which they both escaped and for a while worked together as freelance bounty hunters, and were said to be close like sisters. That relationship soured after Ketsu abandoned Sabine to save herself. Even so, Sabine learned to forgive Ketsu and was able to rekindle their old friendship when they met again, despite it starting off with them at odds with each other.

Ketsu proved she still cared for Sabine by saving her life and passing up a bounty, and said she would consider joining the Rebels before they parted again, this time on friendly terms.

Fenn Rau

Sabine sought revenge against Fenn Rau when the Protector so very nearly killed Hera, and challenged him in accordance to the Mandalorian Code. She was able o defeat him in their duel, and worked with Kanan to bring Fenn into the custody of Phoenix Squadron as a "reluctant recruit".

Some time later, she challenged him to a gae of strategy, having apparently spent time with him previously, in order to try and convince Fenn to truly join the Rebellion. Fenn was adamant that his loyalty was to Mandalore, and admonished Sabine for apparently forgetting of her heritage. After hearing nothing from the Protectors of Concord Dawn, Sabine, Ezra, and Chopper took Fenn to investigate, only to find Fenn's men had been killed, and he blamed Sabine and the Rebels for holding him against his will so that he couldn't be there to lead his men. Afterwards, after eavsedropping on those responsible, Manalorians allied with the Empire under the command of Gar Saxon, Fenn realized if he'd been there he would've been killed too. So he helped Sabine rescue Ezra but initially left them for dead. Despite this, after everything, Fenn went back to rescue them, and finally committed himself to the Rebel Cause, and stating Sabine had earned his respect for her true Mandalorian Honor in comparison to Saxon's disgrace.

Recently, Fenn, after speaking with Kanan, nominated Sabine to wield the Darksaber in hopes of rallying Mandalore to the Rebellion, and gave her a pair of Mandalorian Vambraces, and learned why Sabine left Mandalore during her lightsaber training. When she expressed doubts in herself, that anyone would ever follow her lead, Fenn stepped forward, pledging to follow her and kneeled in respect.

In Sabine, Fenn sees hope in the Liberation of Mandalore.

Enemies

Darth Vader

Sabine and Vader first met after the mission to save Maketh Tua went south. After they realized that they were outmatched they tried to flee on board a Imperial shuttle. As Vader was following Kanan and Ezra, she tried to buy them time by firing at the Sith Lord, which he easily deflected right back at her causing her to become injured in her forehead and chest, and would have been killed had it not been for her armor and helmet.

The Fifth Brother

Sabine and Ezra encountered the Fifth Brother during a mission with Zeb to find medical supplies. When she got separated from Ezra, she and Zeb tried to set a trap for the Inquisitor, only for him to use their trap against them and she was captured by the Fifth Brother and threatened when Ezra was refusing to talk.

Thankfully, with Zeb's help, Sabine and Ezra escaped and she helped cover their escape by opening fire on the Inquisitors, forcing the Brother to deflect her shots, and insuring he and his partner, the Seventh Sister, lost their quarry.

The Seventh Sister

Sabine and Ezra encountered who they initially mistook for a bounty hunter until the Seventh Sister ignited her lightsaber. Sabine tried to destroy the Sister's probe droids, which dodged and shocked her, until Ezra shorted out a blast-door, cutting himself and the Sister off from Sabine to protect her.

Sabine was captured by the Sister's partner, the Fifth Brother, and when Ezra was refusing to talk, the Brother threatened Sabines life. Thankfully, Zeb came to her and Ezra's rescue, and Sabien covered their escape by shooting at the Inquisitors. Because her partner was deflecting Sabine's shots, the Sister wasn't able to prevent their targets from getting away.

Gar Saxon

Sabine and Saxon apparently know of each other due to both Saxon and Sabine's mother having been members of Death Watch. Saxon hypocritically called Sabine a coward and a disgrace, that her running away from the Imperial Academy had tarnished her family's honor, when he himself had sold out Mandalore to the Empire in exchange for power.

It was only out of respect for Sabine's family and her mother that Saxon offered her mercy in exchange for swearing allegiance to him. Sabine refused and almost escaped Saxon and his men with Ezra and Chopper, and it was only by Fenn, having had a change of heart and coming back after leaving them for dead, that Sabine managed to escape Saxon. Even so, she fought well against Saxon and left him with a humiliating defeat.

Trivia

She is voiced by Tiya Sircar.
At the time of the series, she was 16 years old.
Sabine and Ezra are the only members of the Ghost crew to regularly wear helmets.
In Star Wars Rebels: The Siege of Lothal, Sabine takes blaster shots to her chest plate and helmet after she attempted to shoot Darth Vader with her pistols. These scars inspired her to change her appearance.
- She painted orange markings onto her gauntlets, elbow pads, right chest plate and helmet. The checkerboard design on her right shoulder received Aurebesh number 5 in black painted in an orange circle, and her left shoulder plate was painted blue with the anooba illustration replaced with a different creature. She now has long sleeves instead of short ones.
- Additionally, she dyed the edges of her hair teal instead of orange. She kept this appearance throughout Season 2.
Her mother was a member of Death Watch.
- Dave Filoni revealed in the Rebels Recon featurette for The Protector of Concord Dawn that Sabine's mother was present in the throne room on Mandalore when Darth Maul killed Pre Vizsla in the Clone Wars episode "Shades of Reason."
In Season 3, Sabine's look has changed again.
- Most traces of pink on her helmet are gone, now being orange instead. The parts that were orange in season 2 are now purple. The gauntlets, kneepads, and elbow pads are also purple. Her left shoulder pad is now a light yellow with a convoree in place of the creature there in season 2, itself a replacement of an illustration of an anooba. Her gloves are now fingerless and now only extent to her wrists instead of her elbows. Her sleeves now have a gray trim on the sides, which was not present in seasons 1 or 2.
- Her hair is now also completely changed; as opposed to only being dyed, she has grown the right side significantly while cutting the left side short. It is now primarily light violet, whereas the edges are a darker purple.
