Hera Syndulla and Sabine Wren in the flesh

Star Wars: Rebels has some of the best women characters in the entire franchise, and we’ve never seen them in live-action—until now. Alongside Ahsoka, we’re getting Hera Syndulla and Sabine Wren, two legends in their own right, and I’m happy to report that they don’t look like shit here! Sabine’s gorgeous sunset ombre doesn’t look like a bad wig! Hera’s lekku look like they’re actually attached to her head! I’m only slightly disturbed by Mary Elizabeth Winstead’s blue eye contacts!

Looks aside, these two characters are incredibly complex and will add so much necessary depth to the Star Wars world. Sabine is a former wielder of the Darksaber—she gave it to Bo-Katan Kryze, who then lost it during the Purge of Mandalore. That Darksaber is at the center of the current Mandalorian storyline. Sabine was also incredibly close with Ezra, so she’ll be very invested in finding him.

Hera is a rebel in every meaning of the word, building her own resistance movement after seeing what the Empire did to her home planet. She fell in love with a Jedi, had a baby with him, didn’t die because of it (sorry, Padme), and led multiple attacks against Thrawn and the Empire. She’s a legend.
