Kanan was training her briefly with the dark saber but she never showed any supernatural abilities. But I guess at one point Ashoka started training her too. Technically I guess she might not HAVE to have force abilities, but it's a bit confusing. All these trailers get me hyped. Spoiler Nothing has ever been brought up that she was force-sensitive though if she is, that would be make her the 2nd Mandalorian in lore to be. I guess if she just wanted lightsaber training instead of just having it around as a paperweight, Ahsoka could help her with that. Since Ahsoka isn't a Jedi, she'd be more open to train a non-force-wielder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Commissar SFLUFAN Posted July 11 Share Posted July 11 5 minutes ago, Jason said: But some more than others. This series takes place in parallel to The Mandalorian Season 3. Both of these series take place about five years after the end of Return of the Jedi, so Mon Mothma would be a senior leader in the New Republic at that point.

If Andor leads to any spin offs, I want one for her. Senate politics, building the rebellion, eventually going under ground. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mercury33 Posted August 23 Share Posted August 23 Andor is great but Rebels was greater. Andor was what if we did Star Wars but without anything that actually makes it Star Wars and is entirely meant for Star Wars older fans. Rebels managed to cover every base possible while appealing to different generations of fans at the same time. While also telling a much grander story. Both pinnacles of what stories can be told within the world. But watch Rebels again, it gets the edge 😉 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reputator Posted August 23 Author Share Posted August 23 I do like that so far it doesn't play too much as a fan service. There are numerous nods to Rebels but they aren't winking at the audience, they're in service to the story. The setup here is strong and the new antagonists seem like they're perfectly cast. Sabine never showed she had any force ability and I'm glad in Part II they acknowledge that. That was my first thought when it was revealed in trailers that she was Ahsoka's apprentice. I was worried they were going to retcon her character. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
69los Posted August 23 Share Posted August 23 Obvious bias but this makes me giddy. I did have a slight groan at the opening crawl when it mentioned searching for a map. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kal-El814 Posted August 23 Share Posted August 23 Very entertaining first 2 episodes! I wonder if they'll explain why Ahsoka is taking on a "Padawan" since that seems like a very Jedi thing for "I'm no Jedi Tano" to be doing. Also we love to see another chip added to the "Qui-Gon went out like a punk, actually" pile by having someone else EASILY survive an impalement. With any luck someone else will get sliced in half, Maul style, and also be completely fine (preferably after becoming half scorpion for no reason as well). I'm not familiar with the actor who plays Sabine, but I hope they had food at craft services during filming because that lady is TINY.

Gavin King Posted August 23 Share Posted August 23 Surprised they had Ezra hologram reference Sabine as a sister. They always had hints of a romance, even in these first two episodes. If they do go down the romance angle, super weird, especially for star wars, to reference brother/sister bonding.... makes me think there's no way they're going down that angle now.
