Sabine Wren

Sabine Wren is a fictional character in the Star Wars franchise, voiced by Tiya Sircar in the animated series Star Wars Rebels and Forces of Destiny, and portrayed by Natasha Liu Bordizzo in the live-action miniseries Ahsoka. 
==Creation and development==
The character of Sabine Wren was first created in 2014 for the animated television show Star Wars Rebels.
==Appearances==
===Star Wars Rebels (2014-2018)===
Sabine debuts as a 16-year-old Mandalorian graffiti artist, Imperial Academy dropout and a former bounty hunter with expert knowledge of weapons and explosives. As a member of the Ghost crew (reporting under call sign Spectre 5), she acts as their chief engineer and cargo transport, weapons and demolitions expert, as well as their linguist, being fluent in a wide variety of languages. Originally a dedicated student and fledgling inventor for the Empire, she deserted when one of the weapons she had created was planned to be used against her own people.
In "The Protector of Concord Dawn", Sabine is revealed to come from House Vizsla, thus leading her to be related with Death Watch, a Mandalorian terrorist group in The Clone Wars. The episode "The Antilles Extraction" reveals she was the one who helped pilot Wedge Antilles defect from the Empire and join the Rebellion. The episode "Imperial Super Commandos" reveals her mother, Ursa Wren, is sided with the Empire. In "Visions and Voices", Sabine acquires the Darksaber, a weapon used by Death Watch and also by Darth Maul during the Clone Wars. In "Trials of the Darksaber", Sabine's past is fully revealed, and Kanan trains Sabine in lightsaber combat (Sabine does not use The Force). By the next episode, Sabine decides to stay with her family in order to help unite the clans against the Empire. Sabine returns to the group in "Zero Hour" when Grand Admiral Thrawn leads his forces to attack Atollon.
In the series finale epilogue, it is revealed that Sabine stayed on Lothal, living in Ezra's tower. Earlier in the episode, Ezra told her that "I can always count on you", which she took to mean that he needed her to stay on Lothal and protect his people; however, in the epilogue, she understands what Ezra really meant and joins Ahsoka Tano in finding him and bringing him home.
===Ahsoka (2023)===
After the fall of the Empire, Sabine was briefly trained in the Jedi arts by Ahsoka Tano, though their relationship quickly disintegrated. Following rumors of the survival of Grand Admiral Thrawn (and by possible extension, Ezra Bridger), Ahsoka returns to seek Sabine's help, and Hera Syndulla encourages the two to reconcile and resume Sabine's training. Huyang states that even among generations of Jedi, Sabine falls short in terms of force sensitivity, and she doesn't exhibit any capacity beyond what a non-force user is capable of (i.e. a minimal degree like all living beings).
==Reception==
Sabine also stars in the animated micro-series Star Wars Forces of Destiny.
In November 2021, Deadline Hollywood announced that Natasha Liu Bordizzo was cast as Sabine in the upcoming series Ahsoka.
