    @kata1yst @aeronmelon i forgive Rebels because the gang is:
    - A trained Jedi. Well, padawan senior, but trained unlike Rey.
    - One of the best pilots of her time
    - A mandalorian (who’s also force sensitive? It’s a retcon tho, so doesn’t really count)
    - A giant bear-like alien
    - Kid with plot armor who becomes a jedi with even more plot armor
    - Chopper.

    They are so fucking OP (and isolated from the rest of the rebelion) they shouldn’t realistically have problems with outer ring imperials

      Sabine’s not a natural Force-sensitive. Ahsoka put her money where the Council’s mouth was about the Force being in all living things and spent years getting her to the same level as an untrained Force-sensitive child.

          Some time after Rebels but before Ahsoka (the show, that is), Ahsoka took Sabine as her padawan despite Sabine not being Force-sensitive. Sabine eventually quit due to frustration over not getting anywhere, but had actually picked up a rudamentary ability to sense things through the Force even if she couldn’t actively use it. After all, the Force is in everyone, as the Jedi like to mention. During the Ahsoka show, she learns how to use it actively in a die-or-fly situation, but she’s still at a very basic level.

          Basically, Ahsoka and Sabine proved normals could learn to use the Force with a combination of a thorough understanding of the underlying principles and stubborn determination. The threat of death may have also played a role.

      Luthen’s people are trained spies. Saw’s people are trained soldier with guerrilla warfare knowledge from Saw(trained by Anakin and Ahsoka). Ghost crew is like super soldiers specialists doing cargo transport for the rebellion.
