Is Sabine Wren Force-Sensitive Now?

You'd think that if Sabine was Force-sensitive, we would have known by now. Roughly half of "Star Wars Rebels" consists of Ezra learning the ways of the Jedi from Kanan, and Sabine is on their crew the whole time. They use holocrons, explore ancient Jedi and Sith sites, and both Ezra and Sabine learn how to fight with a lightsaber. As a young adult, Sabine is also well past the age in "Rebels" when most Force users become aware of their abilities. And through it all, she never once shows any overt evidence that she possesses the powers of a Jedi.

There are, however, some subtler moments that could be interpreted as Force sensitivity. For instance, at a few different points in "Rebels," Sabine seems clued into Ezra's location and intentions without being told. These instances can be read as simple intuition, or they could be the crumbs of a real connection to the Force.

The other option is that Sabine and Ahsoka are simply using the "master" and "apprentice" language in the new live-action show out of respect. Ahsoka technically isn't a Jedi anymore, and she reiterates that fact in "Rebels" when facing off against Darth Vader. Maybe she simply takes Sabine under her wing after the end of the animated series, continuing her lightsaber training and mentoring her in other ways. But given that Sabine is shown fighting the Force-sensitive Shin Hati (Ivanna Sakhno) in the new trailer — raising her hand as if using the Force in their lightsaber duel — that seems unlikely.
