The Mandalorian May Include Sabine Wren from Star Wars Rebels

Via Screenrant.com:

The Mandalorian may feature Star Wars Rebels’ Sabine Wren after the character’s helmet is reportedly spotted on set. Created by Jon Favreau for Disney’s own streaming service, Disney Plus, the spinoff series takes place between Return of the Jedi and The Force Awakens and will center on a single-operating Mandalorian gunfighter (Pedro Pascal). Considering the time period where the show is set, it opens up the opportunity to bring back some notable characters from around that era, including Sabine.

One of the six new characters Dave Filoni introduced via the Disney XD prequel animated series, Sabine joined Ezra, Kanan, Hera, Zeb, and Chopper (collectively as the Ghost crew) protect Lothal from the Empire. And months after Rebels went off the air, fans may be united with the Mandalorian warrior in the brand new series.

A report from Making Star Wars suggests that Sabine may appear in The Mandalorian after her supposed helmet was spotted on the set of the offshoot. While Mandalorian helmets look similar, Sabine’s easily stands out due to her customization stemming from her love of art. This rumor connects to a previous one from the same outlet about the show using cutting-edge technology that will bring down the cost of real-time visual effects, which allows it to do film-level VFX work within their budget. And it turns out, this technology is being used on Sabine’s helmet.
