Star Wars Protagonists In The Sewer Systems

Star Wars protagonists in the sewer systems✨

I was rewatching the lightsaber duel between Sabine Wren and Gar Saxon...and I think Sabine may be Force sensitive...

If you watch the scene, you can hear the Force Suite a couple of times during the duel in addition to Sabine’s theme.

It plays when she’s dodging Saxon’s particularly fast and hard swings and then blocks his hit with Ezra’s lightsaber, and then when she decides to let Saxon live after she wins. It actually plays as she says “That may be the Mandalorian way, but it’s not my way” as she proceeds to do the most Jedi thing ever by letting her enemy live.

Not to mention during the Trial of the Darksaber when she beat Kanan in a mock duel. Did he let her win? Maybe. Was he distracted because he was paying more attention to her words rather than her actions? Possibly. Was it harder for him to keep up because he was distracted on top of being blind? Not likely, but possible. I think she genuinely won because Kanan seemed kinda shocked and overwhelmed.

When he was talking with Hera before the duel about why they were using wooden sticks instead of the real deal, and Hera thought it was because Sabine couldn’t use the Force, Kanan said “the Force resides in all living things, but you have to be open to it. Sabine is blocked.” Maybe, when she was being so open about her past and letting her feelings guide her, she because attuned to the Force, and was able to beat Kanan. Maybe that’s why he was shocked and overwhelmed.

I also think it’s interesting how often Ezra lets Sabine use his lightsaber. He clearly trusts her and her ability to use it. When he decided to give in to Thrawn’s demands in the Rebels finale, he gave his lightsaber to Chopper, who then gave it to Sabine when they were escaping the Imperial Dome. Sabine had Ezra’s lightsaber in her possession throughout the time he was missing. Maybe Chopper gave it to her because he recorded Ezra’s message to her and the rest of the Ghost Crew and he knew what Ezra meant by “I’m counting on you.” Maybe Ezra trusts her to find him with the Force. He wanted Ahsoka to find him, but did he know that they would be teaming up to find him together? Probably not...

In the Rebels finale epilogue, when Sabine is riding her speeder from the communications tower to her meeting spot with Ahsoka, two Loth Wolves follow her for a short time before letting her go on. Kanan had previously said that they were very attuned to the Force as beings, which is why I think the wolves following her is significant.

Additionally, when Sabine is walking towards Ahsoka, the Force Suite plays again. Whether that’s because Ahsoka is there or not is debatable. However, I think it symbolizes and foreshadows how Sabine and Ahsoka are going to find Ezra using the Force. It plays as Sabine is talking about her personal mission to find Ezra.

It is also interesting how Sabine is House Vizsla, meaning she is descended from Tarre Vizsla, the only known Mandalorian Jedi. Sure, many Mandalorians are House Vizsla, but I think Sabine is different. There is genuine evidence that points to her being force sensitive. Perhaps that’s why the Darksaber found its way to her. If she was the only other force sensitive Mandalorian in Tarre Vizsla’s line, then it should rightfully belong to her and she should be his true successor. That might be why Bo-Katan lost the Darksaber after Rebels and then failed to earn it in the Mandalorian season 2 finale. If it is meant for Sabine, then it might try to make its way back to her via Din Djarin (and maybe it chose him because he has no desire to become the Mand’alor or rule Mandalore).

I really do think she’s force sensitive and I hope it’s shown in the Ahsoka series. Thank you for reading if you’ve come this far. I’d love additional thoughts/feedback! :)

I see what you did there...

Both episodes are set on a moon the main characters get stranded on and then when they escape a parallel is established between the warm family the protagonist has and the cold emptiness of the antagonist's environment. Obvious set up for a redemption arc is obvious!

I respect your opinion and I agree, but I just like to think that twi-lek women in Star Wars are starting to be less objectified... Hera, Xi’an, and now Suu are being dressed in more practical clothing and are depicted as capable women and I think it’s nice...

Twi-lek women have been so objectified by Star Wars creators in the past, by both Dave Filoni and George Lucas. In the past, they were mostly there to look at in a sexual manner for the adults watching what is supposed to be a franchise for kids. They were shown as slaves, servants, and property. Even Aayla Secura was dressed in a revealing crop top and leggings (not to mention trying to design her in TCW to have big boobs, a small waist, defined abs, and wide hips simultaneously).

I think this might be a sign of progress...

Sometimes as a grown woman you wanna dress like a firecracker and sometimes you don’t. She can target shoot your ear off the side of your head in either of these outfits, so I don’t wanna hear anymore about how they put Suu in “real clothes” this time around.

My taste in men is ✨ Fictional ✨

hera syndulla survived a bad crash landing, multiple shootouts, capture and prolonged torture, an exploding fuel depot, the loss of her lover, and the entire battle for Lothal while pregnant. i need to sit down and think about this
