'Star Wars Rebels' writer Henry Gilroy says they never planned for Sabine Wren to become a Jedi
The whole writing team thought it was a bad idea when they previously discussed it
“It was absolutely not the plan … We really felt that not only did it step on Ezra’s story ... it was a weak retread ... we already did this. The idea of Sabine training as a Jedi when she is already this fantastic warrior of her own type, we felt like this is overkill"
"I had nothing to do with the 'Ahsoka' series, so I was shocked ... What I love about the story with the Darksaber is that you don't have to be a Jedi to have Jedi ideals ... I think that's what's really the more important thing ... rather than Force pushing Ezra one hundred feet when [you've] never used the Force before"

Despite the idea of summoning other characters to fight for you being a part of many games outside of Nintendo's franchises, they have been granted the patent for video game mechanics where "the player can control a battle between the sub character and the enemy."
