Natasha Liu Bordizzo, who portrays Sabine Wren in the Disney+ Ahsoka series, has defended her character’s use of the Force in the first season of the show.
“There was some feedback [online] that the Force was too easy for Sabine, and I was like, ‘What do you mean?'” Bordizzo shared with the Dagobah Dispatch podcast. “The concept of the Force being this difficult to attain but attainable state of being that people could access with hard work and dedication, I think, is a really honorable concept that feels very Dave [Filoni]. And George Lucas had originally also said that.”
She continued, “I think it’s awesome that it was a journey … You get to see her fail, and you get to see her try again and again. Mind you, she’s not always cool and finishing the fight in a cool way and having the last word. It’s messy. And then finally, when the stakes are so high, she’s able to harness it in the time she needed to most.”
