Sabine Wren is becoming quite the lightsaber hero for Star Wars fans! In the first two episodes of the Disney+ series Ahsoka, Sabine finds herself in a dangerous duel with dark Force user Shin Hati. Sparks fly and blades clash as they fight for possession of a mysterious map which leads to the evil Grand Admiral Thrawn.
The fight culminates with Shin stabbing Sabine in the stomach in what looks like it could be a fatal blow. Viewers were left confused when, at the beginning of episode two, it’s revealed that Sabine somehow survived the wound and is being healed by droids. Fans took to Twitter to express their incredulity over the turn of events, drawing comparisons to the death of Qui-Gon Jinn in the 1999 film Star Wars: The Phantom Menace. Qui-Gon died after being stabbed in the stomach by Darth Maul during their lightsaber battle.
One fan wrote, “Qui-Gon was stabbed in the stomach with a saber, he died. Sabine was stabbed in the stomach with a saber, she lives…” Another referenced Reva suffering a similar injury in the TV series Obi-Wan Kenobi, and also surviving. They said, “Star Wars needs to start killing off characters. The constant stabs in the side and stomach that characters always survive makes no battle have any stakes cause you know they won’t kill anyone off. Reva should’ve died. Sabine should’ve died. #ahsoka.”
The question is: why did Sabine survive when Qui-Gon died? Some suggested that medical treatments had advanced by the time Reva and Sabine experienced their painful wounds. Others said that Qui-Gon was too severely injured for help to be sourced in time.
At the end of the day, we can all agree that we’re glad Sabine survived. We’d have been sorely disappointed if that was the abrupt end of her story. Ahsoka airs new episodes on Wednesdays on Disney+. Be sure to tune in to catch Sabine’s lightsaber heroics!
