Yeah, I had only seen a small Rey sketch before and he also did an Ahsoka for these commissions, but afaik no Marvel SW work. One of the reasons I asked him for Sabine instead of like Black Cat or Harley who he has done a bunch.

I forget sketches are allowed in these parts! Sabine by Jeehyung Lee !

Sabine Wren by Jeehyung Lee (went a tad pole-vaulty on the saber lol, but love seeing his style on SW!)

Finally scored one of them quick con sketch by Adam Hughes (colors by Alison Sohn) thanks to @DELTA 62's always stellar facilitation!

"Perfect" is obviously subjective, but this one is close to my perfect for this book. One of my favorite Hughes covers -- I have only ever seen it signed around her head and imo it always detracted from the image. (Shouts to @DELTA 62 for the facilitation!)

You could ask for a partial, but the seller did kinda cover themselves with that spiel in the listing description. They might point to that or offer a return (if they provide those). I have plenty of slabs with comparable or worse damage than what you have pictures and they don't cost me sleep at night, but lots of people prefer/require spotless slabs and would probably choose to reholder if attempts at a partial failed. Personally I'd take the small L because we're talking about damage to the holder and not the book. And you clearly want to keep the item. If a seller didn't describe defects on a raw or on a book inside the slab (eg the book obviously doesn't match the grade, damaged in transit) I'd return/escalate no question.

Sounds like you just worked it out on your own here. The organized Jedi Order no longer exists. The rules of training are out the window. We can just assume that Ahsoka trained Sabine due to her relation to the Ghost Crew AND Sabine wanting to train. I have tons of problems with not knowing what their relationship during early training (and the break up) was like that would have served as a baseline for their interactions we see during this season, but zero problem with the idea of Sabine being trained to unlock the force. We have seen Sabine training with the dark saber (and fighting with Ezra's saber) and her force sensitivity was even a point of discussion in Rebels -- so it's just not as big a leap as if Ahsoka were training Hondo or Huyang or something out of left field. IMO, the failure of this aspect not landing 100% is down to how it was delivered dramatically in the show.

I'm not like other girls Sw Fans!

I think all the actors are fine, it's just that chemistry still requires decent writing -- for all we know Hayden and Portman could have been good together if not for Lucas. I think the series has had a lot of scenes with weird interactions that were weird on the page. Like in this ep... Anyway, having laid into this show again I feel obligated to also express how much fun this series is as a SW/Rebels fan. I could nitpick it to death if I gave into cynicism. Thankfully that urge is super low.

Kanan 6 sold more in Sep than Aug, but within the usual range ($300ish). There was a little rush on raw copies of Mace Windu 5 (Ahsoka cameo) in last couple weeks. Nothing crazy. You can get Kanan 1 at 9.8 cheaper now than even six months ago. I think there are more seller who put up their Kanan slabs in anticipation of the show giving it a bump and end up selling them, but for less than hoped?

Liked most of ep 6, but man, Filoni is really killing our girl Sabine. Doesn't give her any earned moments that make her look smart when there are easy opportunities in nearly every scene. Really into this series but it needs a leveling up in regards to nuts and bolts scene work. Hoping for a Season 2 without sole writing credit.

The ideas are not mutually exclusive. She could have made an excuse that she believes/would be plausible for someone to believe and also consciously/unconsciously have other reasoning that is not specifically related. Her relationship with Sabine in Rebels is nearly nothing. What we know about their training together is what we have learned in these 4 episodes. I assume that we will know a lot more by the end of the season.

Yes, that's what Ahsoka said. But this failed Sabine training could be the subtext. It would certainly be more satisfying to me if the events were related.

None of the relationship bugs me. Maybe because Sabine an all time SW fave for me, but it's mostly just the actual writing that irks. Sabine trained with Kanan on how to use the darksaber, and during that time he specifically explained to Hera that Sabine could use the force is she wasn't "blocked" and stubborn like a typical Mandalorian. If she never had trained with a saber, if she was always on Mandalore when the ghost crew met Ahsoka/fulcrum then maybe the apprenticeship would have seemed more left-field to me. I think Filoni is using Sabine's lack of force power to say something "new" about being a Jedi and using the force and I don't mind that. My feeling is that Ahsoka chose not to train Grogu because her Jedi training with Sabine blew up so bad. That is the subtext at least.
