In light of A More Civilized Age's take on Sabine, it does really feel like Filoni just doesn't know what to do with her. The decision to make Sabine Ahsoka's doomed-to-fail Jedi apprentice is still mind-boggling to me. They could use this as an opportunity to make a point about "anyone can learn to use the Force; Jedi are full of shit, actually." But, that doesn't feel like it's where they're taking things. I also feel like Ahsoka's flip from refusing the title of Jedi at the end of The Clone Wars and in Rebels to seeming to, at the least, passively accept the label in the post-OT Filoniverse feels weird. It seems like the switch is important enough that I'd have liked to see it flip.

I find myself really wishing that Sabine showed up in The Mandalorian instead of Bo-Katan. Or, in addition to. Maybe delivering a Reconstructivist take on what it is to be a Mandalorian alongside the Armorer's Orthodox and Bo-Katan's Reform. We might then have a deeper picture of the character when Ahsoka kicks off.

The Two Wolves

I also really wish we got more of Shin and Baylan's interiority. We kind of get enough of Baylan to get a picture of what he's after. Some sort of Force mystery on Peridea he thinks will give him access to enough power to stop the cycle of Light and Dark falling in and out of balance. But we don't find out a lot about Shin except that Baylan trained her to be "something more than Jedi" and that she doesn't actually know what her master is after.

I think we're maybe meant to feel like Shin has some ambition to seize conventional power or validation. But, we just don't get enough scenes centered on her for anything to come across strongly.
