Sabine Wren

"Sabine is the weapons expert of the team. [&hellip;] She's an artist, and that's someone you don't meet every day on Lothal. She's really talented, too. It's like the Empire wants to paint over everything with its boring shades of gray, black, and white. Sabine puts the color back. I think TIE fighters look a lot better after one of her paint bombs has gone off."

- Ezra Bridger

Sabine Wren was a Mandalorian Human female weapons expert who was active during the reign of Galactic Emperor Sheev Palpatine around five years before the Battle of Yavin. She was also a graffiti artist who customized her armor and tagged a new symbol every time the crew of the Ghost struck Imperial targets.

Biography
By the age of 16, Sabine had joined the Lothal rebels after her family became negatively affected by the Empire. While on the planet Lothal, Sabine was part of a mission conducted by Hera Syndulla in the Ghost. Her job was to create a diversion, which she did by sneaking into a TIE fighter landing platform and painting graffiti of a violet starbird onto a TIE wing, her personal brand and the symbol of the rebel group. She was noticed and hunted down by Stormtrooper TK-626, his captain, and four others. She eventually detonated a paint bomb, creating a colorful explosion that left the Stormtroopers stunned and splattered in blue paint, but alive, and strode off into the city, amid grateful locals.

Incident in Capital City
Sabine was involved in a hijack of Imperial crates along with Kanan and Zeb. For this, they went to the main square of Capital City, near which at that time some stormtroopers to had gathered the head of the Imperial Academy, Cumberlayne Aresko, guarding three arms and three filled with food boxes which should be brought to the Imperial portal. On a show of hands of Kanan towards Sabine left their cover and threw a hand grenade on one of the speeders as she walked by, causing the Imperials to flee with their load, but they shocked against Kanan with a landspeeder and then he and Zeb took control of two of the vehicles. The third, which was loaded with two boxes full of weapons, was stolen by Ezra Bridger, after which they recorded with the other two speeder pursuit. When Sabine saw him approaching on a speeder and jumped on, commenting his "gutsy moves". After detaching one of the crates, she warned him Zeb would finish him and disappeared down an alley with the crate. She rejoined with the crew aboard the Ghost and made a run for it to space. Sabine manned the forward cannons so Hera could have an opening for the jump to lightspeed. Ezra took a liking towards Sabine the moment she revealed her beauty and tried to charm her, but she did not return the affection. After returning to Lothal, Sabine along with Zeb and Ezra delivered three of their stolen crates full of food to Tarkintown to feed the local farmers who lost their farmlands to the Empire. The Rebels later had a new mission to rescue Wookiee prisoners, and Sabine was given the task to sabotage the Imperial Transport ship with Chopper's help. When they realized it was a set up, Sabine and Chopper disabled the ship's artificial gravity for two minutes, allowing everyone time to escape, and after departing from the ship, she detonated her planted explosives aboard the transport.

When the Rebels realized Zeb left Ezra behind, Hera insisted they rescue him. Zeb refused and so did Sabine, as she knew the Imperials would be waiting for them. However, when Kanan made the deciding vote to rescue the young con artist, Sabine, Kanan and Zeb found Ezra and escaped aboard the Ghost again, leaving behind another explosive work of art. After being told what Ezra had learned from the Imperials, Sabine and the Rebels journeyed to Kessel to Rescue the Wookiee prisoners. It was at this point that they were outgunned, and so Kanan revealed himself as a survivor of Order 66. The rescue mission was successful, and after sending the Wookiees on their way, Sabine and her fellow Rebels returned Ezra to Lothal until he later decided to join them and become Kanan's Padawan.

Theft of the T-7 Ion Disruptors
As the crew of the Ghost almost ran out of supplies and money, they decided to accept another order from Vizago to steal a weapons shipment from the spaceport on Garel. To prevent being recognized by Imperials, they went to a spaceport on Lothal, where they boarded civilian commuter shuttle Star ST-45. While Kanan, Ezra and Chopper sat in the left side of the passenger area, Sabine sat with Zeb behind the seats of Lothal prime minister Maketh Tua and the Aqualish arms dealer Amda Wabo on the right side of the ship. After they had entered into hyperspace, Chopper and Ezra staged an argument. Kanan mentioned the rule against droids in the passenger area to the pilot droid, who ordered Chopper, as well as Tua’s droids, R2-D2 and C-3PO, to go to the back of the craft. As Tua and Wabo were no longer able to communicate, Sabine offered her help, posing as a level 5 student at the Imperial Academy. Unbeknownst to the two Imperials, the argument was done on purpose so that Sabine was the only option on the ship to serve as a translator. She asked Wabo what bay the weapons shipment was being held in. He told her the weapons were in bay 7, and so she deliberately mistranslated this as "bay 17," prompting Tua to go there for the weapons. This gave Ezra the time he needed to get to bay 7 and meet up with the others. While Hera landed the ghost in a nearby docking bay, Zeb realized that the weapons were T-7 Ion Disruptors, which the Senate had banned due to the weapons being able to instantly kill a living being. On Kanan's instructions, the rebels stole the illegal weapons in an attempt to get them out of Imperial hands. After being caught by a squad of stormtroopers, the rebels fled the planet, unknowingly bringing the two droids with them.

Destroying the disruptors
On their way to Lothal, Sabine informed the others that she had learned while translating for Tua and Wabo that the disruptors were only prototypes to be mass-produced on Lothal. When they arrived on Lothal, R2-D2 explained them that his real mission was to prevent the weapons from getting into Imperial hands. When the crew landed, C-3PO, mistaking the rebels as criminals, made an emergency call to Kallus' Star Destroyer, revealing the rebels' whereabouts. Therefore, their negotiations with Vizago were soon disturbed by the arrival of an Imperial transport ship with two All-Terrain Defense Pods. Vizago fled with half the shipment without paying. Although Sabine suggested also to take flight, Kanan wanted the weapons to not end up in Imperial hands and ordered the Mandalorian to destroy them. She wanted to get her explosives, but R2-D2 convinced Sabine to overload the disruptors to disable the stormtroopers instead. Meanwhile, Zeb engaged in a one-on-one duel with Kallus. During the battle, R2-D2 and Sabine overloaded the weapons and shoved them into the squad of stormtroopers, killing all of the troops. The resulting explosion knocked Zeb off balance, causing him to be stabbed by Kallus. Before he could kill Zeb, Ezra inadvertently Force pushed Kallus, saving the Lasat's life. They hurried back to the Ghost, where Chopper launched the ship and they were able to escape Kallus. The rebels then brought the two droids and the disruptors back to their owner, Bail Organa, who paid the rebels the credits they desperately needed.

Fighter Flight
While Ezra was running down Zeb in the halls of the ship, he stopped by Sabine's room, to offer her some "inspiration" for her artwork, although she did not express any interest. After Zeb and Ezra arrived of their mission in the Kothal market, they visited Sabine, who decided to take the inspiration offer and made a graffiti of them in their room.

Rescuing Luminara
Sometime later, the rebels received the information that Master Luminara was alive, but imprisoned at the Empire’s high security prison known as The Spire on Stygeon Prime. From the schematics of the prison, Sabine declared it impregnable but she never stopped them from trying,so with a plan sorted, the Rebels arrive at Stygeon Prime and take the Phantom in while Chopper stays with the Ghost. However, it was a trap set by The Inquisitor to attract the Jedi survivors to his death. Sabine, Ezra, Kanan and Zeb infiltrated The Spire, and while waiting for Orrelios and Wren Jarrus and Padawan in an elevator, found that Empire was blocking their communications, so Sabine decided that it would be better to flee following a different route. While waiting, Kanan and Ezra appeared while running away from the Inquisitor. Together, Sabine and Zeb also started running looking for the exit of The Spire. The Inquisitor ordered to close all the doors of the prison, and Zeb had to handle a door to it not get close meanwhile the others were passing. Sabine and the others fought against several Stormtroopers, but Hera showed up with the “Fleet” in time to pick them up.

Destroying a Kyber Crystal
After Ezra infiltrate the Imperial Academy of Lothal for several weeks to steal a device with the location of an imperial carriage containing a giant Kyber crystal, Sabine and Zeb hid in one of the outputs Academy to wait for Ezra. The day that Bridger should flee from the Academy, the boy didn't appear, so Sabine and his colleagues decided to take a day to Ezra to steal the device. A day later, Chopper gave Sabine and Zeb the device, and Wren sent the coordinates of the imperial transport to Kanan and Hera. The droid also showed an Hologram of Bridger to Zeb and Sabine where the boy informed them that he would flee while he stayed behind to help Jai Kell escape before the Inquisitor could take him away. Ezra told his escape plan Zeb and Sabine, and they reported everything to Kanan.

In the day of the escape, Sabine got rid of several Stormtroopers while Ezra and Kell, with C1-10P, escaped the academy. Zeb finally picked Wren and others on board a vehicle, and all fled the academy.

Incident in Fort Anaxes
Later, Sabine, Hera and Ezra participated in a mission provided by "Fulcrum", Hera's secret contact. When completing it, they were pursued by TIE fighters as they were aboard the "Phantom". During the flight, Sabine demanded to meet "Fulcrum", to which Hera refused, causing great frustration in her. Ezra meanwhile, urged Hera to concentrate on the flight. After some aerial aerobatics they finally managed to get rid of the fighters and returned to "Ghost". There, Hera ordered Ezra, Zeb and Chopper to repair the  Ghost . Ezra and his companions managed to repair the  Ghost , except for the fuel tank, which was leaking. When they went to repair the fuel tank, Chopper created a distraction that made Ezra and Zeb forget the shuttle. Sabine asked again about the identity of "Fulcrum", and before refused Hera to confess "Fulcrom"'s identity Sabine decided to accompany Hera on the next mission. Hera said that sometimes Sabine's behaviour was frustrating, to which Sabine said she learnt from the bests. Thus, the two boarded the "Phantom", whose fuel tank had not been repaired, and left for their mission. Arriving at Fort Anaxes, the mission location, Sabine told Hera she had the feeling that Hera and Kanan didn't trust her. She added that her fight against the Empire was becoming increasingly dangerous, so she needed to know more about "Fulcrum", to know that her struggle was not in vain. She also said that in the time she was at Imperial Academy in Mandalore, she was a blind follower of the Empire, but it had ended up being a nightmare. Hera responded that she had great confidence in Sabine, and that their struggle was bigger than she could understand. Finally, she asked Sabine to have faith in her and Kanan.

When they were picking up several boxes for "Fulcrum", Hera and Sabine were attacked by a pack of Fyrnocks that had taken over the base since the Clone Wars. When attempting to flee, they discovered the leaking fuel in the "Phantom", which no longer worked. Hera then got in touch with the "Ghost" for help. Taking advantage of the fact that fyrnocks could not be exposed to light, Hera followed a plan devised by Sabine. Stacked in rows several boxes of [Rhydonium/Canon|Rhydonium]], an explosive substance. When an asteroid covered the light provided by a star, fyrnocks went to attack Sabine and Hera.

As fyrnocks approached, both rebels detonated rhydonium boxes, until there were no more explosives. When it seemed that they would be devoured by fyrnocks, the crew of the  Ghost  came and rescued them. Onboard of the "Ghost", Hera showed Sabine she had entrusted her life in her plan, showing that she had great confidence in her. Then she asked Sabine is she could trust her, ensuring that eventually she would understand everything and Sabine said she would try.

Empire Day
During the Empire Day, Sabine attended the Old Jho's Pit Stop while three Imperial pilots searched for a Rodian. Ezra Bridger recognized a photograph the fugitive, called Tseebo, who was an old friend of his missing parents. Saddened by the memory of his parents and the fact that it was his birthday, Ezra left to be by himself, despite the amazement of Sabine and the rest of rebels.

Personality and traits
"That was some diversion, Sabine. Did the job so well, can see the explosion from here." "Forget the explosion. Look at the color."

- Hera Syndulla and Sabine Wren

Sabine was an artist, and appreciated color. After Hera Syndulla commended Sabine's blowing up of a TIE landing platform, Sabine dismissed her praise of the explosion with an awestruck recognition of the color. Sabine also developed sympathy towards Ezra Bridger, while also ignoring his attempts to woo her. She was a weapons expert and liked to make different rebel insignias with her paint gun every time they attacked the Imperials.
