I agree that Sabine using the force to push Ezra is too much, but I disagree that she shouldn’t use the force at all and that the series has consistently shown this. Some people are misremembering Rebels. It was never stated by anyone that Sabine was unable to use the force. In fact, Kanan only said that anyone with enough practice could use the force and that Sabine couldn’t do it because she was emotionally blocked because she felt betrayed by her family, and then in the very next episode they go and resolve that issue but then Sabine leaves the show for the rest of season 3. She was never stated to be unable to use the force or having no potential in Rebels. Also throughout the entirety of Ahsoka, she was only stated to have the worst potential Huyang had ever known, but it was never stated she had no potential. Also in Ahsoka, we see her practicing all season and basic storytelling conventions should tell us that by the end of the season, Sabine should use the force, and she does. The only issue though is her being able to push Ezra. I have no issue with her using the force to grab the lightsaber as that’s a smaller feat and both Luke and Rey are able to do that without much training so it makes sense that Sabine needs to use tons of training to just be able to do that. It’s just that pushing Ezra is a bit too far. I get what they were trying to do, they were trying to show that Sabine could use the force but was just blocking herself and that after she uses it to get her lightsaber her block is gone, but the two events still feel way too close together for it to be believable.
