Ever since rumors first swirled online that WWE Superstar Sasha Banks had joined the cast of The Mandalorian, there's been speculation that she might be playing a live-action take on Star Wars Rebels' Sabine Wren. The Boss finally made her debut during this week's episode, but not as Sabine!
Banks' was introduced alongside BSG alum Katee Sackoff as Clone Wars fan-favourite Bo-Katan Kryze, and while her character is a Mandalorian, she's actually playing Koska Reeves.
A long-time Star Wars fan, Banks - real name Mercedes Varnado - took to Twitter to share her excitement at getting to join the galaxy far, far away.
Some fans were a little disappointed that the SmackDown Women's Champion wasn't playing Sabine, but Reeves seems like a compelling character, and there is a pretty good chance Miss Wren will eventually show up in The Mandalorian or one of the planned spinoff shows in development for Disney+.
