Look, if we want to go through with the Mando purge of Mandalore backstory, you could do a lot with that! That could be a really interesting direction to take Sabineâs character in! But, uh, making Sabine act ridiculously ooc for all of Ahsoka and then justifying that with a 1-sentence âoh her whole family died offscreen thatâs why sheâs a different character nowâ is that also why sheâs white, Dave? is uh. Not a good way to do that at all.
Like, imagine an alternate version of Ahsoka where thatâs actually an important part of her character instead of a quick get-out-of-ooc-jail-free-card.
Ursa dies on Mandalore, either in the bombings or fighting Gideon, and all of a sudden Sabine is pulled back to Krownest to lead the remnants of her people (because from everything we saw in Rebels, Tristan seems like more of a warrior than a leader) and sheâs trying to help her people, to safeguard Lothal, to mourn her mother and Ezra, and she maybe holds it together for a few yearsâbut then Ahsoka comes back, with a new lead on Ezra, and hereâs a chance to get away from it all, to get back just one of the things sheâs lost. She takes it.
She feels awful about it, because sheâs abandoning her people, running away again, but she just canât deal with it, and she misses Ezra so badly. Itâs not forever, sheâll come back this time, she just needs some time. Some space. So she throws everything into getting Ezra back, and it makes her reckless and blind to the threat of Thrawn because all she can see is Ezra. And then itâs an actual flaw, itâs the crux of her character arc, and in the end sheâs presented with that choice, destroy the map or get Ezra back, and she chooses right, is able to come to terms with her loss and move on.
And then in the end, sheâs able to help get Ezra back with the Purrgil and sheâs able to accept everything that happened to her and lead her people. And reclaim the darksaber
Justâyou couldâve done something with this, felony, but instead you just destroy her character and shit on all Star Wars?
