Overview
- Speaking on the Pod of Rebellion podcast, Gilroy called Sabine becoming a Jedi “absolutely not the plan.”
- He said the Rebels writers discussed the idea in season 3 but rejected it as a retread that would step on Ezra Bridger’s story and be “overkill.”
- Gilroy noted he had no involvement with Ahsoka and described the decision as a surprise.
- He cited Sabine’s Darksaber journey in Rebels as a meaningful, non‑Jedi path that already conveyed Jedi ideals.
- Coverage highlights divided fan reaction to Ahsoka’s approach and points to the renewed Season 2 as the venue to address these criticisms.
