Quotes
Kanan Jarrus: You did run, didn't you?
Sabine Wren: NO!
Kanan Jarrus: But that's what your people believe, isn't it? You ran from the Empire, you ran from your family!
Sabine Wren: LIES!
Kanan Jarrus: So what's the truth?
Sabine Wren: The truth... is that... I left to save everyone. My mother! My father! My brother! Everything I did was for family, for Mandalore! I built weapons, terrible weapons, but the Empire used them on Mandalore; on friends; on family; people that I knew. They controlled us through fear. Mandalore, a fear of weapons I helped create. I helped enslave my people! I wanted to stop it, I had to stop it. I spoke out. I spoke out to save them, to save everyone! But when I did, my family didn't stand with me. They chose the Empire. They left me. Gave me no choice. The Empire wanted to destroy worlds, and they did. They destroyed mine.

Great episode

Love this episode exploring the backstory of Sabine, history and lore of the Darksaber.

I believe this is a tie in from the Clone Wars when Maul took Mandalore.

The ending scene might be my favorite so far - passionate, great fight, and all still giving you the childlike joy of Star Wars.
