Summary
- Sabine's absence from The Mandalorian was a mystery, especially considering her rich Mandalorian history and her previous efforts to help her people.

- Sabine's desperation to save Ezra stems from her increasing isolation and the belief that he is the only person she can truly rely on.
One crucial detail revealed in Ahsoka has made the story of Natasha Liu Bordizzo's Sabine Wren in Star Wars even more tragic. Though her journey in Ahsoka is heavily focused on her identity as a Jedi, Sabine's Mandalorian family has been an important part of her since she debuted in the animated Star Wars Rebels series. As the member of both an important clan and an even more legendary house, Clan Wren and House Vizsla, respectively, Sabine's always had a rich Mandalorian history that's seen her not only wield the Darksaber, but also help lead her people to freedom from the Empire at Bo-Katan Kryze's side.
This is what has made Sabine's absence from The Mandalorian thus far seem like a mystery, especially for the effort to retake Mandalore in The Mandalorian season 3. Sabine has never shied away from helping her people in their time of need, as Rebels even saw her staying on-world with her family for a while until she called upon her Ghost crew family for further assistance. Now, one Ahsoka detail has revealed not only why this is, but also how it makes Sabine's story even more tragic.

The opening scene of Ahsoka episode 7 officially revealed its place in the timeline by having Captain Carson Teva mention the events that transpired on Mandalore in The Mandalorian season 3. Despite this, Sabine still starts her Ahsoka story on Lothal, with her Mandalorian armor packed away in the reclusive tower that Ezra Bridger himself used to live in. This timeline placement only emphasizes Sabine's loneliness, as it means she actively chose not to return to her homeworld of Mandalore and instead remained in isolation on Lothal. What's worse is knowing the fate of her family in the Great Purge of Mandalore, along with the fact that Ahsoka walked away from her and all her dear friends in Rebels have already moved on.
