## Cast

### Main Characters

**Sabine Wren:** A Force-sensitive Mandalorian warrior, graffiti artist, demolitions expert and Ezra's girlfriend who has begun training as a Jedi. She had ultimately returned to Mandalore to free her father from Imperial captivity between the events of *The Jedi and the Mandalorian* and *Empire At War*. Tali’Zorah was used as an inspiration for her appearance. Sabine will also be brought closer to her portrayal by Natasha Liu Bordizzo in the *Ahsoka* series.
