I mean, Ezra did the off with the head thing.
Oh, hell no. I'm so over the dismemberment trope in Star Wars. It's painful now.

One of the things Filloni said Lucas asked him when he sold the company, was to try and make sure Star Wars is always accessible to kids, because that's who he made it for. So anyone going into a Filloni show expecting limbs to start flying every which way is on a fool's errand.
Doesn't mean to say you won't get the odd decapitation, just don't expect it to turn into 'Evil Dead 2'.

Qui Gon reacts to yet another character surviving a lightsaber to the gut.
He had a concussion too. Bleeding in to his brain.
Lucas made six movies.
ANH: Dismembered arm.
ESB: Dismembered hand
ROTJ: Dismembered hand
TPM: Gut wound
AOTC: Dismembered head(!)
ROTS: Dismembered arm, numerous other stabbings
As for droids, they are sliced and diced every which way indiscriminately, even though droids are definitely portrayed as being sentient beings in SW. (Certainly more "alive" than friggin' zombies.)
So, what was your point, again?
The only one of those that pushed the limit slightly beyond what's appropriate for children was RotS, and that was out of sheer necessity. I won't ask you what your point is, because you never have one and also I don't care. Toodles!
At this point, the point for a lot of these arguments appear to be "I'm mad."
And, well, ok, be mad at Star Wars Ahsoka. But telling me that Star Wars would be better with more dismembered limbs?

Anyone who sticks through eight episodes of a show they hate just to complain about it isn't mad, or even interested in critical analysis. They're just desperate for attention and don't know any other way to get it. I mean is there anything sadder than being upset that someone else is getting joy from something that they're not? Pity the trolls, but never feed them.
Personally, if I get three episodes into a show and I'm not feeling it; I move on and don't look back; because who cares? People need to get healthier pastimes and stop inflicting their inane bile on everyone else.

In general? No.
During a lightsaber battle against zombies, yes. Otherwise, you get stupid, nonsensical, badly choreographed crapola like Ashoka gave us.

Why must you make everything personal? You can't just have a disagreement without being a childish douche?
Not a good look for a man of the cloth.
Best guess is that Sabine's jetpack was destroyed before the present day events. She did get it off another Mando. Plus those jetpacks are really touchy. Doesn't take a lot to damage them.
Also there is too much plot that could be solved too easily with a jetpack.

You have found the center of the issue, right there.
Ain't that the truth!

Damn, she didn't listen to a word I said.
Yeah, as much as I like her having a jetpack, I suspect the actual reason for not including it is simply to avoid having to think up reasons why it can't solve problems for them, or having to constantly have it be damaged or unreliable, and at which point why even bother? Besides, she clearly didn't have it during the 'Rebels' coda either, so it seems as if the decision for this was made way before this show was even conceived.
On the positive side, at some point in her training; Sabine simply won't need one anyway.
Side note: this problem also applies to the T-6. It's not a coincidence that it was rendered temporality unflyable on more than one occasion this season.
