Summary
- Sabine's newfound connection to the Force is a major development in the Star Wars franchise and could have significant implications for Rey's New Jedi Order movie.
- Unlike other Force-sensitive characters, Sabine's ability to tap into the Force was not innate but rather a result of her hard work and determination, providing a unique perspective on Jedi training.
- Sabine's growth in the Ahsoka show suggests that Rey may adopt a similar approach to finding Jedi candidates, looking for individuals with potential and dedication rather than solely those who have natural Force abilities.
Sabine finally unlocking her Force powers may have huge implications for Rey's Star Wars: New Jedi Order movie. Sabine Wren becoming Ahsoka Tano’s apprentice in the Ahsoka show was a big twist. In Star Wars Rebels, the Mandalorian Rebel never showed any indication of being connected to the Force, even whilst training to wield the Darksaber with the help of two Jedi. However, in the final episode of Ahsoka, Sabine finally unlocked her true potential, using the Force to call on her lightsaber and help her friend Ezra Bridger return home to Star Wars’ primary galaxy. Sabine’s connection to the Force is unlike anything that’s been seen in the Star Wars franchise before.
When Anakin Skywalker arrived at the Jedi Temple at the age of 10 in Star Wars: Episode I – The Phantom Menace, the Jedi Council tried to dismiss him because of his age. Luke Skywalker and Leia Organa may not have connected to the Force until they were older, but their lineage made it easy to explain their natural affinity for the Force. Sabine, on the other hand, took the time to learn the ways of the Force without knowing whether she could even call upon it, her new power dependent on her hard work and determination rather than natural talent. This revelation could become important when Rey Skywalker starts to form her new Jedi Order.
Sabine's Experience Of The Force Sets Up Other New Jedi As Well Rey’s New Jedi Order movie will take place 15 years after Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker. As the future hope of the Jedi, Rey will be trying to build a new, more successful, and less repressive Jedi Order. The question is, how many Force-sensitives will Rey be able to find in the galaxy after everything that happened since Emperor Palpatine assumed power at the end of Star Wars: Episode III – Revenge of the Sith? Between Order 66 and the Inquisitors’ extensive search for Force-sensitives, they won’t be easy for Rey to locate.
Sabine’s growth in the Ahsoka show, however, could have huge implications for Rey as she tries to rebuild the Jedi Order. Instead of only trying to locate those who have been naturally attuned to the Force since childhood, Rey could instead search for people she trusts and sees true potential in, just as Ahsoka saw potential in Sabine. That could open up a much wider pool of prospective students. As Ahsoka reminded Sabine, the Force is found in everything and everyone. It can lead Rey to those who are willing to learn, bringing in dedicated and hard-working students from all across the galaxy.
