Outline

Upon being told by Fenn Rau what status the Darksaber Sabine recovered from Dathomir holds among the Mandalorians – especially the prestigious House Vizsla, who once ruled Mandalore – Kanan decides that Sabine should wield it in order to rally the Mandalorians into the ranks of the Rebel Alliance. Sabine, who resents her family, reluctantly agrees to the proposal and retreats with Kanan and Ezra to the Bendu’s abode to be trained in the saber’s use, but her persisting frustration at the expectations thrust upon her starts to gnaw on Kanan’s own patience. Tensions ensue between the two, which culminate in Sabine walking away from her training; but after a talk with Hera and a mutual apology upon Sabine’s return, Kanan offers her the Darksaber, and the training begins in earnest. As it progresses, Sabine is also forced by Kanan to let loose with her own emotional turmoil, revealing at last the truth about her past; she felt guilty about what the weapons she designed in her time at the Imperial Academy had done to her own people and that she wanted to make up for it by saving them from the Empire’s clutches, only to see her own family turning their backs on her due to their fear of the Empire. Upon this difficult confession, Kanan, Ezra and Rau profess their loyalty to Sabine, no matter what course she will eventually choose.
