Former Star Wars Rebels writer Henry Gilroy recently threw shade at Ahsoka Season 1 over its shocking Sabine Wren Jedi twist. Davie Filoni's 2023 streaming series, which followed up on the story set out by Rebels before it, saw Natasha Lui Bordizzo's Sabine confirmed as Force-sensitive. This culminated in a divisive moment among fans during the Ahsoka Season 1 finale in which the armor-clad Mandalorian used the Force without any proper training to harness her powers.
