Sabine Wren's live-action debut is one of the most highly anticipated aspects of Ahsoka, and there are several reasons for that. However, the one that stands out is the fact that the Mandalorian has been shown wielding the lightsaber previously owned by Ezra Bridger in Star Wars Rebels. Luckily, we're getting a better look at the weapon in a new character poster for the Star Wars series. In addition to that, the poster confirms that Sabine made some interesting modifications to Ezra's lightsaber.
Fans who have watched Star Wars Rebels already know that Sabine Wren is in possession of Ezra Bridger's lightsaber. After all, Ezra left the weapon with her before he disappeared with Grand Admiral Thrawn in the show's final season. It's also not a huge surprise that she is shown wielding the lightsaber in the Ahsoka trailer since she has previously used the Darksaber. Still, Sabine clearly made some changes to the weapon so she could use it properly.
The new Ahsoka posters were shared by the show's official X (formerly Twitter) account and Sabine's poster features the Mandalorian with the lightsaber. In the poster, it is noted that there is a guard around the upper section of the hilt. Although it is unclear why this was added, it might be to prevent Sabine from injuring herself while wielding the lightsaber.
Ahsoka also dropped new character posters for Ahsoka Tano and Hera Syndulla. There are also posters for Baylan Skoll, Shin Hati, and Morgan Elsbeth, who will serve as the villains for the series.
Ahsoka will star Rosario Dawson as Ahsoka Tano, Natasha Liu Bordizzo as Sabine Wren, Mary Elizabeth Winstead as Hera Syndulla, Eman Esfandi as Ezra Bridger, and Lars Mikkelsen as Grand Admiral Thrawn. Hayden Christensen is also expected to reprise his role as Anakin Skywalker/Darth Vader. The series is set for a two-episode premiere on August 23, 2023.
