The girl in the trailer, looked like she could be about that age to me.

Sasha Banks? She's 28.

Mercedes Kaestner-Varnado is not playing Sabine.

The notion that she is is nothing more than speculative wishful thinking.

 

[JD]

Except she's the wrong ethnicity. Sabine has been explicitly established to be very much east Asian in appearance. I can't see them casting the role against this.

Oh right, I forgot about that. I'm not always good at telling what race characters as stylized as the Rebels characters are.

LoL! Trying to be clever by using her real name.

Fair enough. Though she has been depicted as "photo real" in a few products over the years (some games, comics and I think the black series toy) and she's very much unmistakable as being of the east Asian persuasion.

 

[JD]

I looked up her Black Series figure, and I can definitely see it there.

A little bit of new footage in there. Looks like this season might be going a little bigger on it's action sequences, although trailers can always be deceiving on that front.

My only real reply to that teaser: Hmm. I can definitely think of a few that could help.

In many cases, your WWE name is a trademark you're not allowed to use outside that context. Just ask Chyna.

Sabina's animated appearance is a bit ambiguous, though.

 

[JD]

Yeah, but the canon intention is for the character is for her to be east Asian, so if they do a live action version of her, they are going to cast an Asian actress.
After this came up before, I did take another look at how she looked in the later episodes, and I can see the Asian features now.
The new trailer was pretty cool, but didn't really reveal anything we didn't already know. I did get the feeling that we might be seeing more of Greef and Cara.

I started my rewatch last night to get ready for Season 2. I still found the introduction scene to the Child was really cute, especially the final shot.

I'm hoping we might get a fresh thread for season 2. I think the show is popular enough to have a thread for each season, since this one is already 90 pages.

Done.
