Plus, that time period specifically would add more depth to Sabine as she moves from selfish underworld denizen to noble rebel.
The comic medium offers an excellent chance to draw a visual contrast between the drab, suffocating monotony of the Empire and the riotous color and diversity of the Rebellion (and here’s where I plug that I would LOVE for Jen Bartel to have a hand in a Sabine comic). Plus, as Coop mentioned, this offers an excellent chance to really highlight the visual nature of Sabine’s character and her role as a political artist.
We could see her transition from self-interested survivalist to openly rebellious freedom fighter. We know there was a period of time between when she deserted the Imperial Academy and when she joined up with the Ghost crew, a time in which she was operating as a bounty hunter.

Sarah: My ideal Sabine spinoff would be a comic series (miniseries or ongoing) that explores her beginning with the Rebellion. Sabine is much more of a wild card, and her life could very soon become a wide-open, paint-splattered book. With that in mind, what would be your ideal Sabine spinoff? Which era of her life are you most interested in seeing explored further, and what medium would be best for it? While it’d be pretty easy to assemble a similar article about Hera, to a certain degree we’ve already seen her story-her origins are the Alliance’s origins, her future is the Alliance’s future. It’s even easy to imagine a spiritual successor to the Bounty Hunter video game covering her time hunting alongside Ketsu. Going back to her younger years, her time in the Imperial academy and the attendant clan drama is deep enough to support at least one novel. As one of Star Wars’ very few in-universe artists, Sabine is especially well-positioned for a visual medium like comic books, where her personality could explode off every page. Even leaving the post- Rebels timeline off-limits just for argument’s sake, Sabine has crammed enough living into her nineteen-ish years for any number of stories in any number of media. And if it was up to me, while production schedules are still catching up to the aftermath of TLJ, this year would be chock-full of Sabine content. Dave Filoni is Sabine’s creator, and to the extent that Rebels is telling one complete story it’s fair to let him have the “last word” on who Sabine is, where she’s from, what she wants.īut that last word should be coming very soon now. And even if she does, will she return to Mandalore and stick to being a local player? Or become an Alliance leader in her own right?Īs long as those questions remain open, I get why Lucasfilm would be reluctant to use Sabine elsewhere, whatever the time period-it stinks, like it stinks that we probably won’t get any post- The Last Jedi content for a while yet, but I get it. While it appears that Sabine’s major character arc as far as Rebels is concerned concluded with her reunification with her family earlier this season, it remains possible, however unlikely, that she won’t make it out of this show alive. Sorry, Zeb-I’m talking about Sabine Goddamn Wren. And how could they not? Hera is a fantastic addition to the Star Wars canon, and the small pile of random appearances she’s accumulated since then demonstrates that creators are clamoring to use her in stories of their own-and once Rebels has finished telling its story they’ll be freer than ever (barring an immediate follow-up series) to really dive into her role in the formal Rebel Alliance and beyond.īut there’s another character every bit as deserving of that increased spotlight, whose fate is also in question. While the final fate of Ezra remains a gigantic, some would say overwhelming, question mark, we’ve known since Rogue One came out a year ago that Hera and Chopper survive, at least into the original trilogy era.
Mike: This week saw the beginning of the second half of the fourth season of Star Wars Rebels-and in less than three weeks the series will have come to its conclusion.
