Sabine Wren Action Figure

Sabine Wren
Sabine Wren - Author's Collection

From the cardback:

"Sabine Wren is a Mandalorian warrior and graffiti artist with a creative and rebellious spirit."

The Sabine Wren package contains Wren herself, a jet pack, an "energy blast shield," a lightsaber, and a "vibro blade gauntlet."

Sabine is the name of a historic river in Texas, an ancient Roman tribe, and it is a girl's name that was (is still?) popular in 2018. The character of Sabine Wren was new to me, as I was and still am mainly familiar with characters from the Star Wars movies. A New Hope, Return Of The Jedi, and The Empire Strikes Back feature the characters I know and love most. However, I am a fan of all the Star Wars media.

I first became aware of Sabine from watching the series Ahsoka, which starred the fantastic Rosario Dawson. I enjoy Dawson's work in every performance that I've seen of hers. Wren was first seen in Star Wars Rebels (animated) and the live action version is played Natasha Liu Bordizzo. She is a Mandalorian, and evidently a former padawan of Ahsoka Tano.
