#Visions of glory review series#
With The Mandalorian apparently becoming a new home for former animated series-only characters like Ahsoka and Bo-Katan, it's beginning to look more and more as though the series is basically the Rebels follow-up fans have been demanding - although the upcoming Ahsoka spinoff series could also help fill that void. Given her own history with the Darksaber, it seems hard to believe Sabine wouldn't also have a vested interest in restoring Mandalore to its former glory. Katee Sackhoff debuted Bo-Katan in The Mandalorian Season 2, episode 3, "The Heiress," and while we still don't know how she lost the Darksaber and how Mandalore fell back into Imperial control, now that Moff Gideon has been defeated in the Season 2 finale and the Darksaber is currently in Din Djarin's hands rather than Bo-Katan's, the fate of Mandalore is once again a focus. When last we saw the Darksaber in Rebels, Sabine had claimed the weapon as her prize, only to turn it over to Bo-Katan Kryze to rule Mandalore in her place. Just as she did at the height of the Empire's reign, Sabine may be using her art to urge the galaxy into action. The Empire isn't completely gone, and worlds like Mandalore have yet to enjoy the peace and prosperity the New Republic is promising. If this graffiti is courtesy of Sabine, it could be her way of signaling to her fellow Rebels that the war isn't truly over. That's most clearly conveyed through Mando's new friend Cara Dune, a former Rebel shocktrooper with plenty of kills under her belt and no war left to fight. One of the themes explored in Season 1 is the way many veterans of the Galactic Civil War are struggling to find purpose now that the war has more or less ended. With the way graffiti is so prominently featured in these Season 2 previews, Lucasfilm seemed to want fans to speculate about a Sabine appearance. And so she's decorated her Mandalorian armor with bright, neon colors and leaves behind a few stylish tags to mark a job well done.

She's less concerned with honor and a warrior code and more interested in letting her individuality flourish in an age where the Empire is stamping out all forms of dissent.
That's what sets Sabine apart from other Mandalorians. And if there's any one Star Wars character associated with graffiti and spray paint, it's definitely Sabine. The first trailer for The Mandalorian Season 2 and various other promo images featured a surprising amount of graffiti art in the background. While there are plenty of compelling story reasons why Sabine can and should appear in these live-action shows at some point, let's start with the most obvious clue hinting at her live-action debut.
