Why is Sabine Wren mad at Ahsoka?

In the vast and intricate tapestry of the Star Wars universe, relationships serve as the threads binding together stories of courage, redemption, and hope. Among these threads, the dynamic between Ahsoka Tano and Sabine Wren is one of the most intriguing and emotionally charged. Their initial bond, culminating in their shared mission to find Ezra Bridger at the end of Star Wars Rebels, was promising. However, the recent revelation of their estrangement in the new series, Ahsoka, has fans ruminating over what could've caused the rift. Let's dive deep into the probable causes, implications, and potential resolutions of this fractured relationship.
A Shared Purpose and the Hope for Ezra
When we last saw Ahsoka and Sabine together, they were united by a shared purpose – the quest to find Ezra, who had vanished in his effort to protect his loved ones. The duo's journey was not just about locating a fellow comrade, but about preserving the legacy of the Ghost crew and the hope that Ezra represented. Their shared mission indicated a bond built on trust, mutual respect, and an understanding of the importance of their collective past.
The Apprentice Who Wasn't to Be
The undercurrent of their estrangement, as suggested in Ahsoka, may stem from Ahsoka's attempt to take Sabine as her apprentice. But why would this cause tension? The answer may lie in the inherent roles of a master and apprentice. Ahsoka, having been an apprentice to Anakin Skywalker, knows the weight of this relationship. For Sabine, who values her independence and has been through her own trials with the darksaber and the responsibility towards Mandalore, being an apprentice might have felt restrictive. This could've been perceived as Ahsoka doubting Sabine's capabilities or trying to mold her into something she's not.
Ghosts of the Past
Another possible cause for their strained relationship is Ahsoka's complex relationship with her past. Her experiences with the Jedi Order, her trials, the fallout with Anakin, and her struggle to find her identity outside of the Order have left deep scars. While Sabine has always been upfront about her past, mistakes, and regrets, especially concerning the darksaber and Mandalore's legacy, Ahsoka might not have been as forthcoming. The weight of untold stories and unresolved traumas can create invisible barriers even between the closest of allies.
The Burden of Responsibility
The Galactic Empire's looming threat, combined with their quest to find Ezra, placed immense responsibility on Ahsoka and Sabine. While they are both strong characters, their ways of handling pressures are different. Ahsoka, with her history, tends to internalize and move forward with a sense of solitary duty. Sabine, on the other hand, leans on her connections, her found family, for strength. This fundamental difference in their approach could've led to misunderstandings and a feeling of being unsupported.
The Path Forward
While the reasons for their estrangement are layered, the future is rife with possibilities. As they face external adversaries like Elsbeth and the looming shadow of Thrawn, the hope is that these challenges will remind Ahsoka and Sabine of the strength they draw from each other. The quest to find Ezra might also serve as the anchor, rekindling their trust and camaraderie.
In the grand scheme of the Star Wars narrative, relationships are tested, broken, but also mended. As the Ahsoka series progresses, fans across the galaxy are hoping for a reunion that not only strengthens the bond between Ahsoka and Sabine but also sheds light on the importance of understanding, communication, and reconciliation.
In the words of Master Yoda, "The greatest teacher, failure is." Here's to hoping that their past differences become lessons for a united future.
