A newStar Warsreveal has helped confirmSabine Wren’sJedi status after the events ofAhsoka. At the end of the 2023Star Warsseries, Sabine wields her lightsaber alongside Jedi Knights Ahsoka Tano and Ezra Miller against Thrawn’s Nightstroopers, Morgan Elsbeth, and the Nightsisters known as the Great Mothers, and the Mandalorian warrior even uses the Force. However, new details from a popularStar Warsgame have clarified that she’s not a Jedi yet.
As seen in the predominantStar Warsmobile gameGalaxy of Heroesfrom EA, a new version of Sabine Wren is being added a character for players to add to their rosters of heroes. Rather than the originalSabine Wren who wields her dual pistols, grenades, and the legendary Darksaberas she does in the animated seriesStar Wars Rebels,this new version is name “Padawan Sabine Wren”, inspired by her live-action debut inAhsokacomplete with the green lightsaber given to her by Ezra which she has since modified in theStar Warscanon:
Padawan Sabine Wren comes with three abilities: Practiced Swing as a lightsaber attack, Frantic Strike which is a baster/lightsaber, and Fallback Tactic which is inspired by her moment inAhsokaepisode 4 when Sabine tries using the Force, fails, and then attacks Shin Hati with one of her wrist rockets. However,EA’s Padawan Sabine Wren revealalso clarifies why this new Sabine character does not have the Jedi alignment tag in the game:“Even though she is referred to as Ahsoka’s Padawan, she still has a ways to go in her training to be called a Jedi. Also, game balance.”
What Sabine Wren’s New Stats Mean For Star Wars
It’s important to note that Lucasfilm has a dedicated Story Group who reviews everything lore-related when it comes toStar Wars. As such, they more than likely gave this official alignment their approval before EA put the reveal out confirming Sabine’s Jedi status after the events ofAhsoka.As such, it serves as a solid indicator that Sabine should not yet be considered a Jedi Knight (for the time being).

Sabine was able to use the Force twice as seen inAhsoka’sfinale. The first time was to retrieve her lightsaber to kill a zombie death trooper, while the other was the boost Ezra Bridger’s jump onto Thrawn’s Star Destroyer and finally escape Peridea.That said, it makes sense that Sabine still has a ways to go before she can be considered a full-fledged Jedi Knight at this point in theStar Warstimeline.
Our Take On Whether Sabine Can Become A Jedi
A Different Path Could Still Be Chosen…
It’s been established in theStar Warscanon that sensitivity to the Force alone is not what makes a person a Jedi.As such, one can imagine that Sabine will require more training with Ahsoka going forward before she can officially become a Jedi, and the duo supposedly has the time to continue said training considering they’re both stranded on the extragalactic world of Peridea by the end of 2023’sAhsoka. That said, this also means that Sabine could end up taking a different path as well.
As an example,there’s massive excitement about a potential Shin-Sabine romance. To that end, exploring that idea would certainly mean Sabine would be taking a different path if that’s indeed something that actually happens in future seasons ofAhsoka. At any rate, it’s ver interesting thatGalaxy of Heroeshas further confirmed the idea that Sabine’s Jedi status is still something she’d need to keep working toward in the future.
Sabine Wren
A Mandalorian rebel, Sabine is a technological genius whose ideas were turned against her own people by the Empire. She served as an important member of the Lothal cell for years, only to return to her own people for a time with the knowledge and skills she had cultivated. More recently, Sabine has unlocked her nascent ability to access the Force, becoming Ahsoka Tano’s Padawan.
