Last week's short from the new Star Wars Rebels show focused on the characters Chopper, Hera, and Kanaan, so this week featured a different member of the crew: Mandalorian weapons and explosives expert Sabine Wren.
The really cool thing about Sabine that I love is that she's an artist. We've never seen a main character in the Star Wars universe express themselves in a creative way, and I love the fact that Sabine likes to make artistic explosions and uses graffiti to express herself and to rebel against the Empire. It's very reminiscent of the graffiti that was all over the Berlin Wall in Germany before it was torn down. Of course, the fact that she's a Mandalorian is also very cool, and I'm really interested to know her personal history as a member of that group of warriors and if she has any ties to the planet Mandalore, which I hope we will visit or at least find out what happened to it when the Empire took over. When we last saw Mandalore in the Clone Wars, it was embroiled in a civil war and could very well have been invaded by the Republic.
I love these little shorts that Lucasfilm keeps teasing us with; hopefully they'll show a little love for Zeb next!
