Fine...Let's Talk About It...

Sabine is force sensitive...I'm not a huge fan of it tbh. But...she is related to Tarre Vizsla...the original and first Mandalorian Jedi.

[@IDzock]

The Force Push came with too much confidence! She used the force one time to save herself and 1 minute later she wants to do a risky force push on Ezra without hesitating as if she is a jedi master. That came too quick and gave me Rey 2.0 vibes. Sabine was so good written in the series up until this point and I am so disappointed about it...

[@carrastealth]

Rey pulled off The Jedi Mind Trick and Force pull on her first attempt. Sabine had a lifetime of warrior training, two Jedi mentors and a decade of training in The Force before she pulled off Force Pull when she was no longer emotionally compromised and finally communed with The Force to pull it off. That ain't Rey 2.0. It's what people complained Rey wasn't.

I think this would be very satisfying if in season 2 of ahsoka, Sabine continued struggling to even move cups again. Getting frustrated like "IDK HOW I DID IT BEFORE!" Reinforcing that it was really an act of passion/desperation

Excellent idea, I'm honestly making that my own personal cannon so it doesnt take me out of the show when I rewatch it 😂

Agreed. I think it will depend on how they move forward. They absolutely must make her struggle to do the same, maybe gaining some minor proficiency by the end of Season 2.

I agree with you! I don’t mind Sabine learning the Force, but her being able to use the Force to the extent that she was able to by the end of the first season was a bit extreme. EDIT: I just came back to this through my notifs to see 100+ replies, most of them arguing about this :’) Everyone has a right to their own opinions, and you could make sense as to how Sabine was able to use the Force as much as she did in your own way! It doesn’t seem like the writers intended for there to be a straight-forward answer. So, please be respectful when discussing this; it really isn’t that deep

Head Canon... Ezra Helped.

[@logicalVerne]

@@briangressett902 Cope more. Home girl couldn't move a cup in-universe a few days ago, did zero additional training, and was regarded by Huyang as the weakest force user he had ever trained. Between those events and the finale, there was zero training that had occurred, zero Deus Ex-Machina intervention to imbue her with stronger force ability (except the script), nothing. As per usual with Disney in the modern era, the female protagonist already has all the power in the universe within them, they just have to realize that. It's horribly lazy writing, just like the rest of this show.

[@adayamongstmartyrs]

thats a solid insight but what if they are mis judging her talent capabilities in the force kind of like in dragon ball z where scouters became obsolete. what if she was blocking herself because she was thinking like a mando rather a jedi kinda like in avatar the last airbender why it wws so hard for aang to earth bend because it was conflicting with his air nomad nature. maybe once she found a way to sync her mind as a jedi AnD mando thats the reason why she was able to pull off that impressive act. in my opinion ya the force is everything but maybe in a mando perspective it is also a weapon and they are extremely proficient in using their weapons and by thinking like this could be another way for sabine to connect to it? lol idk just a theory

[@patrickjawisdom4141]

I'm pretty sure Peridea is strong in the Force and may have helped Sabine. It also probably helps that she found Ezra, as that was a major block for her emotionally.

[@vanni.gio28]

Well, we do know that Ahsoka had been training her before this show. Before they had some sort of falling out. So there is that. I’m not exactly sure for how long she trained before this show started but yeah. Also, like you mentioned she is related to Tar Vizla. And lastly I think a lot of that force push had to do because of emotion. Her emotion/relationship/friendship/caring for Ezra gave her strength in that moment i believe. Just like most people get an adrenaline rush that makes them strong if a loved one is in trouble, we’ll perhaps the force is the same. Just my thoughts.

[@timechanger6679]

Yeah I think that makes sense, especially cause presumably we’ll be seeing a time skip before we see Sabine again, so presumably she’ll have been training in that time, and her force abilities will be on par with what we saw in this episode, but she’ll no longer need the adrenaline rush

[@bagnome]

[@SergioAAV]

Kanan in Rebels does mention that Sabine couldn't use the force properly because she had a block caused by her feelings and her Mandalorian education. So, for me, it kind of makes sense that in that particular moment when she needed the most to save her life and save her dearest friend, whom she just risked the fate of the entire galaxy to bring back, she could finally overcome the mental block and apply everything Kanan and Ahsoka taught her all those years.

[@danielloader3351]

they could've showed that in the show. Like, it should be established within the Ahsoka show that this concept is still relevant. Otherwise it appears to come out of nowhere. They could've spoken about this mental block during her training with Ahsoka and it would've been more meaningful seeing her finally succeed. Instead we got plot convenience

Also this is prob why jedi order only took kids, Sabine training as an adult brings baggage and I would guess if you start training as an adult either you have so much life blocks that it impedes using the force or you can use the force but more susceptible to the dark side.

[@transcendinghealth8937]

[@Cloudstriff101]

I wouldn't describe her use of the force as good or well done. I would describe it as scraping by. She struggled to pull the light saber to her while Ezra took no time at all. She also almost didn't push Ezra far enough at all. It was by the skin of her teeth that she pushed him far enough to grab onto something and keep himself from falling. It felt appropriate as it was like scoring a 60 on a test in college. Passing, but just barely.

[@matheralsguidetothemultive1770]

I think you also need to take into consideration they were on Peridia which seems to be steeped in the Force. You have the statues of the Mortis gods and potentially a gateway to the World Between Worlds and/or Mortis itself and that may have allowed Sabine to draw on the Force more easily than she might have been able to in other places. Just a thought.

There was something Luke said in the comics: "Ben isn't stronger, Voe. That's not how it works. The force can be a trickle, a stream, a river, a flood... for ANYONE who can can sense it. Think of yourself as a door. The wider you open, the more easily the force flows through you. Some poeple just start out with their door a bit more open, but any door can open wide."

[@tedscheett9420]

I think this is an excellent point. Sabine may be able to use the Force really well in the moment Ezra has to get on the Star Destroyer, but it would take proper training and effort to do that CONSISTENTLY and without flaw. Because even though she was able to vault him across, she was only BARELY able to do so.

This doesn't jive with the concept of midichlorians, or people like Anakin, or the fact that ability (and yes, strength) in the force is at least partially a genetic trait. It's a lore inconsistency.

[@Mike23443]

There is a very important aspect that is overlooked by everybody who complains about this. The Force is an entity with its own goals and desires. It has been the case countless times that in their darkest moments people have been saved by the force, not because they were somehow more capable at using it, but rather because the force itself was more willing.

[@stepabuv842]

I don’t believe Huyang was speaking about her midichlorian count. He was speaking about her mindset. How would he know her midi count? Her new abilities aren’t sudden. She’d been meditating and trainng for an untold amount of time. Once she let go of the anger, her abilities matched her training. Ezra was force pushing Kanan as a padawan, and Sabine has over 10 years of training, starting with Kanan. It makes sense

Doesn't her being Mandalorian play a huge part of this. She wouldn't have been tested as a child to see how sensitive she is to the force or how much Midichlorian she has. Ahsoka could has spent more time trying to train her before and Sabine never was able to grasp it until her life was in danger.

[@dutchrjen]

The empire would have tested her. We do know that the empire had her building superweapons at 13 and they abducted her father when she ran away because they were pissed that she sabotaged her superweapon and was no longer working for the empire. Why did they care so much about a mere child? She had built a superweapon capable of frying those wearing Mandalorian armor over a huge area. Sabine would make a horrible inquisitor. If the empire was smart, they'd roll out the red carpet and have her willingly building superweapons for them. This is exactly what they did. That's a pretty useful to Palpatine. Anakin was found by Qui Gon Jin because he built a podracer and a sentient droid as a small child. He also had excellent reflexes. The "force" according to Lucas is more than twirling lightsabers or telekinesis and mind tricks. If someone is strong in the force they get a god-like intuition and ability in whatever they focus on. Luke was a natural pilot that could match Darth Vader as a teen when he never was in a starfighter before his attack on the Death Star. Ashoka could tame and communicate with wild animals as a small child.

1. We don't know Sabine's Midi-Chlorian counts, it might be really high due to her blood line in connection with Tarre Vizsla who was the first Mandalorian to be inducted into the Jedi Order as a child. With that said, I would suspect it's really high. 2. In the show Rebels, Sabine trained with Jedi Knight Kanan Jarrus and Ezra Bridger. 3. Then Sabine trained with Ahsoka for a while who was taught by Anakin. Anakin even asked her if she even wanted a Padawan. Yoda always said, pass on what you have learned and Yoda, Tera Sinube and even Anakin taught Ahsoka to do just that. Now she is back training Sabine. 4. In regards to the force push, she was already channeling the force heavily when she connected with the lightsaber Vs the zombie trooper who was choking her to death. Once you’re in that state and connected to the force then things become easier for you. I had no issue with it once I understood the reason it happened. 5. Next season of Ahsoka will focus more on her and Sabine getting training on that planet. 6. Relax and allow Dave to cook.

[@jamesdowdell1000]

[@codyduncan195]

Given the situation, life or death of her friends, manifesting greater power than "expected" is, in fact, expected. It's so common in anime you don't think twice about it when you see it. If Sabine's potential is great enough to be able to eventually do the things she does, then under that pressure-packed situation, it's not unreasonable that she could perform those feats.

Exactly. This is not unique to this situation whatsoever. It happens constantly in Star Wars where the Force basically saves someone whether they tried to use it or not. The whill of the Force can be used as an explanation for almost anything.

Im just going to be real. Even if it does make sense in terms of canon or to what George said about the force, I still dont have to agree with it or like it.

Like I said I don’t agree with how they introduced it but us as watchers understand the force and how complex it can be! Her confidence and focus could have instantly been on 1000% after she grabbed her saber, who’s to say the power hasn’t been in her all along and only now (when she found Ezra who she’s been looking for and loathed for) were her powers conceived and with her confidence she could use them to their full potential. Just a thought.

[@HenryAshman]

I agree that the escalation from "can barely grab a light saber to full on yeeting a full grown man" in maybe a minute was a bit much. But I hope they find a way to acknowledge it and maybe tie it into future seasons. Maybe have something on the planet amplify her abilities, in the same way something calls to Baylan, maybe something else (or the same thing). If the theories about Abeloth are true, she could have chosen Sabine as a potential "host body" to possess long term and is able to help directly or through Sabine to boost her powers. This could be to tempt her into performing some ritual to release Abeloth under the guise of more power, or more simply, just to get rid of Ezra as a potential strong force user it evaluated as a threat/moral compass for Sabine.

[@dannivalentin7959]

It just feels so played out at this point

[@Soylent1981]

Is it possible the planet enhanced her ability? Also I always thought a limitation on force use was self-doubt. What was most notable in that scene was her absolute confidence. Maybe it was hubris and she could feel whatever Baylen was in search of telling her to do it and it boosted her ego.

[@aaronrodriguez9376]

I would have liked it if she only learned the basics of the force such as precognition, enhanced physical abilities, and the passive force shield. But then combined it with her mandalorian skills. She could have become a boba fett with minor force abilities which would still make her powerful but also way cooler and unique. Maybe they could have even introduced that martial arts in legends that was designed to take down force sensitives and have her learn that.

[@garyterracciano4083]

I actually don’t mind that she used the force to push there. It felt almost like more of a confidence thing in that moment. I think I had more trouble reconciling that fact that Ezra agreed to let her try it. What was his backup plan there?

If I remember correctly, Ezra first used force in an emergency situation when his friends were in danger. So it makes sense that Sabine did something similar in desperation. I do agree, however, that force push was a little too convenient and well done for the situation. Maybe it should have stopped there in terms of her skills with the force for the moment, but in the end, I still enjoyed the scene.

[@FratinandMadrik]

Her summoning the lightsaber was a stretch. Luke was able to do it with roughly the same amount of training when he was hanging upside down in the cave in episode 5 because he was able to clear his mind and remain calm. He was in a stressful situation but paused to focus - and that worked. Here though, Sabine is actively fighting someone. She's being choked out by a foe right in front of her. There's no time to focus, no time to relax and be calm, she just... Does it. Fair enough, maybe it was a one-time thing. And then she does that big push... ALL my respect for her as a Jedi just went down the drain. Apparently, every jedi in the original and prequel trilogies was just incredibly weak, because these new Jedi can blow up spaceships with force lightning and do huge force pushes the second time they ever use the force.

[@Sam-ub7dt]

Regarding Sabine's character I'm much more concerned about (i) how her actress portayed her as a wooden plank or a piece of wet toast as far as her personality and emotionality goes, and (ii) how through her selfishness she single-handedly returned Thrawn to the galaxy and hence, presumably, brought about the deaths of millions of people AND all the other characters around her who know of this gloss over it or ignore it entirely. It would've been fine if she had succumbed to her desire to see Ezra again AND THEN Ezra and Ahsoka and others explicitly recognised the atrocity of what she's done; but for her to have done it and then everybody else pretend that it didn't represent a major moral failing and the need for character development is just infantile writing.

[@paradox2210]

Absolutely what I was thinking. We could’ve had great character development for Sabine who did it out of selfishness but learnt the error of her ways after Ezra and Ahsoka berated her about the foolishness of what she did, and then she could’ve devoted herself to overcoming her demons through selflessly helping the people of Peridia and trying her hardest to stop Thrawn no matter what. I wasn’t a big fan of this series because of how Sabine is so different from when we last saw her in Rebels. She was one of the best characters from Rebels and had so much personality, but that doesn’t come through at all in Ahsoka for whatever reason.

[@jeremiahab800]

Sabine being able to anticipate enemy attacks, or block 1 out of 10 blaster shots with her lightsaber, or just being able to aim better with her blasters, makes sense for the amount of "training" she received throughout the series. However, being able to force push Ezra, block blaster shots from behind her back, and force pull her lightsaber on her first try, I think is a bit too extreme, and very "convenient" for the plot. Nevertheless, seeing Sabine dual weild both a lightsaber and a blaster while fighting made sense (like with Cal in Jedi: Survivor), since she has experience with both and may be more comfortable having ready access to both long range and close range combat. I think it would have made better sense for her to use those more advanced force abilities during the second season, where she had a longer period of time to "consistently" train with Ahsoka or by herself. The way she sounded when Ahsoka asked if she kept up with her training seemed to me like she only did the bare minimum (if she even trained at all). The only way for her to use those abilities we saw in the finale is if she somehow tapped into the dark side by letting her emotions control her, which could have been an interesting route to explore. Ahsoka did mention that "the dark side gives quick victory, but it imbalances you," so it could have been interesting to see Sabine resort to the dark side out of frustration and impatience, and thus end up learning a lesson on how dangerous the dark side truly can be.

Sabine being related to Tarre Vizsla is a bit of a stretch to her being this Force Sensitive. Imo, Star Wars is so up and down I've come to give up on expecting anything good and consistent. I'll take whatever's good and throw out everything else out the airlock.

[@krakenrider5986]

Correct me if I get this wrong. I feel like I heard somewhere that Jedi can block blaster bolts because they can sense it through the force. Their is a scene in the finally of Ahsoka where 2 nightroopers are behind her and shoot at the same time if not seconds apart and while Sabines not even looking she blocks both of them. To me that's something one couldn't do at Sabine's current level of force use. They rushed her force abilities and gave her the abilities of an experienced Jedi knight when she's at an padawan level.

[@danielloader3351]

yeah I agree. If they were planning on making multiple seasons or continuations of some description they could have made it a more gradual process. Not simply impossible at the start and then suddenly she can use the force. One example of how weak many average jedi were, is Geonosis. We see Coleman Trebor get killed in like 3 seconds by Jango Fett and that was just basic blaster bolt deflection. That guy's been training his whole life. The main 6 films allow jedi to improve quickly because the ones we see doing so are Anakin and Luke, who are canonically some of the most powerful jedi. Also even Anakin trained for years and years and still got destroyed by Dooku in Episode 2. I like that they showed some struggle with Sabine, but it should not be something she just unlocks and then its easy.

[@warpspeedracer]

Sabine finally being able to force grab her saber was an epic moment. Just to be smothered by the silliness of her force pushing Ezra a football field. It just shows that Dave Filoni still has a ways to go on writing/directing live action. I believe there is some "verisimilitude" that is lacking. While watching in the scene, I myself felt a great disturbance in the force as if millions of voices suddenly cried out in terror "No, not another Rey!" and were suddenly silenced.

There are misogynistic fans. There are misandrist fans. Don’t cater to either of them. Make strong characters. Period. Stop fueling the fire with this stuff. Of course it’s annoying that a nearly all female show reveals that a character is not only an awesome mandalorian but also a Jedi now with force abilities, despite never being characterized as such before, while the male protagonist is a damsel in distress in need of saving multiple times by the stronger female leads. Bo rules mandalore. Leah rules the resistance. Rey rules the Jedi order. Ahsoka rules the “non-Jedi who are Jedi”. But it’s a patriarchy, and all male fans are sexist? Feel like I’m taking crazy pills. Can’t wait to see what’s in store for the self proclaimed sexist and misandrist acolyte. Sheesh. If this show were gender swapped, it would be mutilated for being a sexist patriarchy and for making women appear weak. Instead it wins an award for women’s empowerment. 🤦‍♂️. Strong female and male characters are not mutually exclusive! When will Disney learn that?!

[@BrodieWanKenobi]

The Force whills itself in moments of importance. I feel like this is insanely obvious throughout Star Wars. Life or death situations enhance focus and heighten characters powers. The force basically saves people in their time of need. Luke in the wampa cave, Grogu/Mando with the mudhorn, Rey on Starkiller, Ezra saving Zeb, Obi-Wan saving Leia from falling, Cal saving Prauf, Leia in space, even non-force users like Jyn Erso with the Death Star plans at the end etc etc. These characters don't even consciously make the decision to use the force, it just happens. And now Sabine in a life or death situation finally harnesses her training. So not only is Sabine related to Tarre, she has trained for years AND it was a life or death situation. I feel like there's a very fundamental misunderstanding for a lot of fans on how or why the Force does what it does. The most wise characters in Star Wars almost always chalk up any events as the whill of the Force.

I think there are more influences at play here. If this is the home world of the ones, the force has to be STRONG. I feel like once Sabine really opened herself and kinda "let go" before almost getting killed, she was able to harness it. Now, I think this is temporary. I think next time we see her she'll use the force, but struggle to use it at the level during the battle. The emotions that come with this will cause her to go down the path of darkness.

[@xElManiacx99]

Hey Theory, remember in Empire Strikes Back when Luke complains to Yoda about getting the X-wing out of the swamp? Luke thinks lifting his ship out will be much more difficult than simply moving stones around. Yoda tells him it is not any different, It is only different in Luke’s mind. The point is that if Sabine doesn’t have that mental block Luke did at that point then a simple force push shouldn’t be beyond her ability.

[@metaknife777]

An easy fix would be to say someone/something secretly showed her where the valley of the Jedi was hidden (or something like that). Then she develops an addiction to taking the easy route of accessing the force, followed by overcoming that addiction as part of her character development.

[@DavidM_10]

Ignoring the fact that Sabine shouldn't be able to use the Force at all, because she's not Force-sensitive, the first time she ever used the Force was when she pulled the lightsaber, and then, five seconds later, she felt confident enough to push Ezra thirty meters over a huge drop. What?! If I were Ezra, I would have said, "No way. Ain't happenin', love. I'm staying right here with my feet on the ground." Luckily, Ezra knew that the script was on her side.

[@taylormadealpha]

I think it makes sense. I always felt like Dave Filoni was setting her up to be some kind of Force user back in Rebels. You've already painted the lore justification picture for us. If Ahsoka said she was afraid to teach her because of her potential, that's Filoni telling us she's going to have some formidable powers. When it comes to the Force push, I think she got the odea from watching Kanan and Ezra do it many times. She was able to visualize the maneuver and pulled it off. Maybe because Ezra having faith in her, laying his life in her hands, gave her the extra mental fortitude needed to let go and use the maneuver.

[@carrastealth]

I'll say this. If Luke within 24 hours of hearing the words "The Force" is capable of doing these things. 1) Start training with it. 2) Blocking blaster bolts while blindfolded on his first attempts 3) Despite never going to the academy and despite no prior space battle experience, entering a space battle seige on the most dangerous space station in the Universe in the Death Star and being one of the few that survive. 4) Hitting a one in a million shot that technology, nor the leader of the entire run could hit because he 'trusted The Force'. 5) Does all this without any battle experience, without any academy training, without any previous Jedi training, was just a farmboy 24 hours earlier. Contrast that with Sabine whom 1) Was trained as a warrior her whole life. 2) Was a Mandalorian and expert pilot 3) Is related to Tarre Vizsla 4) Had Two Jedi Mentors 5) Had Ahsoka train her twice in the ways of the Jedi and The Force 6) Confirmed that Ahsoka was afraid of how powerful she'd become once she unlocked her potential Then let's ask ourselves what was more unlikely... a Farmboy with no battle experience destroying the Death Star, or a trained warrior whom had been training for about 10+ years finally force pulling a lightsaber to herself and being able to force push. If anything, the consistent thing is that once someone has tapped into The Force, it has enablee to do amazing feats right away. Sabine is the one whom actually had trained and went through many trials and tribulations over a decade before she was finally able to properly commune with it. So I think it makes sense. Sabine's literally the "Well I just wish struggled a bit before finally succeeding." and if Ahsoka was afraid of how powerful she'd become once she unlocked her potential, that means that she sensed the strength beneath how dormant it was within her. That plus I trust she both struggled and trained more than Luke did before he destroyed the Death Star and pulled off the Force Pull. I think what people are missing is that one of the things that held Sabine back was the emotional conflict she was constantly in, the losses in Mandalore, the loss of Ezra, her strained relationship with Ahsoka. All of those things its easy to say why that would be working against her emotionally as well as her training, so it was more about her learning to let go and letting that all go. Once she unlocked that, the rest of her potential started flowing in. It's kind of like when an athlete finally figures out what they're capable of over the course of a game and then suddenly a switch seems to flick and they just take off. If Sabine had enough potential dormant that it scared Ahsoka, that says enough. Just my two cents. Oh and Ezra as a kid despite no formal training was flailing around people with The Force and nobody said squat so there's that too :3

True.

can someone please tell me the name of the song that was playing in the outro? I know it was is the prequel trilogy but I just don't know the name of the song. Thank you!

About the force push. I feel we can assign it to Sabine absolutely killing it with Ezra and having a blast fighting side by side with him after such a long time thus being put “in the zone”, from a force standpoint.

[@DarthRemus66]

I think the force push was a little much. She progressed a little too fast. However, I feel that Sabine pulling her saber towards herself is appropriate, since this was something that even Luke had to concentrate very hard to accomplish on Hoth in the ice cave .

[@floydprice4164]

I agree about the Sabine might use the dark feelings to use the force. The best example is during the rebels episode learning how to use the dark saber. During her training she pour out her emotions about how she created a devastating weapon while in the empire academy. She did a force jump attack. When she was actually in dire straights of losing her life slowly and with ahsoka training saw the path how to use the force.

sabine using the force to that extent gave me very much "feel the tingly feeling in ur back and boom turn super saiyan" vibes

[@Heywhatsupmyman]

I look at it like this, she was on a roll, for the first time she discovered how to utilize the force and I think the confidence she got from the saber grab helped her in doing the push, she was riding the high of using the force

[@epiclight858]

I totally agree. This confidence is what saved the day. No one is talking about this

[@kevine455]

I believe she (Sabine) falls into the category of force latent- which you mention. An emotional dam preventing her development. That is until her her attachment or feelings for Ezra released that dam. All the hallmarks of the dark side. This explains her quick ascension.

I agree, but she is also a talented warrior her whole life. So it also makes sense she draws on the force to be able to be as good as she is, without her even knowing it. Same as Luke being an accomplished pilot before even knowing the force existed. Using another franchise as an example, Videl from DBZ being able to draw on her Ki after a lifetime of martial arts. Small glowing ball almost made her pass out, but she was able to do something. Same thing with Goten being able to go Super Sayian, Videl can’t compare to that kind of lineage/natural ability as Sabine can’t compare to anyone else that would have been chosen to be a Jedi. It checks out, if you step back & really think about what Dave/Lucas is trying to get across. Could we have seen more training…sure, but sort of unnecessary.

I’m glad Sabine had flaws to get over to be able to use it, but I wish they would have done an ATLA approach. Like when Aang finally learned earthbending and Toph even said she would get Sokka out to avoid crushing him. So it makes sense for Sabine to have the force, but wish there was more work to achieve what she was able to do so quickly.
