Judging by her latest comments on the subject of the further expansion of Sabine’s backstory once Star Wars Rebels returns from break this Saturday with “Legacy of Mandalore”, actress Tiya Sircar teases that the focus of her story arc might not be placed on Mandalore as much as we may have initially assumed.
“We might be going somewhere unexpected,” actress Tiya Sircar, the voice of Sabine, teased to ComicBook.com. She was checking with Lucasfilm PR about whether it was too much of a tease, but after being assured she could say it, added, “Where we’re going might not be where you think we’re going.”
Fans were assuming that the crew of the Ghost was heading to Mandalore, the traditional seat of power of the Mandalorian people, but it sounds like we’ll be going to another one of their planets. That could have something to do with the devastating Imperial weapon that Sabine revealed she helped design, and was turned on her people. It’s interesting to see more of the former Mandalorian empire, one of the few individual cultures that’s not a crime family that actually expanded out into other planets and even systems. We’ve seen the decimated Concord Dawn, of course, and saw Mandalore and the moon Concordia on Star Wars: The Clone Wars. So is another location coming? It sure sounds like it.
As for her own reaction, well, Sircar is anxiously awaiting the return of the series just as much as any of us are.
“I haven’t seen any of those episodes, but I can’t wait!” she teased, when we discussed the season 3 mid-season trailer. “I know people have different opinions about what that was in the trailer, but there’s more to come, which is very exciting.”
