Were you left with questions after you saw The Rise of Skywalker for the first time in theaters last December? Did you wonder how The Mandalorian could be so epic while the sequel trilogy was what it was? Were you baffled as to how The Child fit into the storyline or ponder about the fact that there was absolutely no mention of any characters from The Mandalorian throughout this entire trilogy? Some Star Wars may have been relieved about the fact that The Mandalorian had yet to cross paths with the sequel trilogy. However, considering the mysterious significance of The Child to the Empire, in the years following the fall of the Empire (The Mandalorian is set in 9 ABY), was The Child not worthy of a nod? Clearly, maintaining the secrecy of The Mandalorian storyline is a higher priority at Lucasfilm than anything else, which is understandable, but to a fan, a little frustrating.
As pleased as we were to see The Rise of Skywalker in theaters, let’s be honest, a good majority of Star
Wars fans were probably a heck of a lot more excited to be at home, in
front of their television screens for the remaining season one episode of The
Mandalorian. Though some Star Wars fans would be quick to debate that being
a fan of Star Wars films is hardly enough to consider oneself a Star
Wars fan, some do not find enjoyment in watching animated series such as Rebels and just might not be into Star Wars literature. There is indeed something
about The Mandalorian that has drawn in many of these types of Star Wars fans to the beyond-Skywalker scope of the Star Wars universe. Many of
these individuals were under the impression that Boba Fett had died in the
Sarlacc pit on Tatooine in Return of the Jedi, when in fact, he did not. Whether
you knew he was alive or not, seeing Boba Fett’s armor and Temuera Morrison at
the end of "Chapter 9: The Marshal" was exciting, period.
Sabine Wren was one of the last Mandalorians to wield the
Darksaber. the powerful blade that, according to legend, was created a thousand
years before the Empire, by Tarre Vizsla, the first Mandalorian initiated into
the Jedi Order. In Rebels, she gifted the weapon to Mandalorian warrior,
Bo-Katan Kryze, voiced by Katee Sackhoff in The Clone Wars and Rebels.
Sackhoff is set to make her live-action debut as Bo-Katan Kryze in the second season
of The Mandalorian. In lieu of the fact that there are only six episodes of season
two remaining, it would make absolute sense for Din Djarin to encounter Sabine
Wren in "Chapter 11" or "Chapter 12," at the latest. Do you believe that Banks was cast as Sabine Wren, or someone else? To find out, catch the upcoming episodes of The
Mandalorian on Disney+, with the next one being available
this Friday, November 13.
