The leaked trailer features a bunch to get hyped about, including the ruins of Mandalore, Babu Friks, paratrooping Mandalorians, the titular bounty hunter Din Djarin (Pedro Pascal) in different action-packed sequences, and Bo-Katan (Katee Sackhoff), the fan-favorite Star Wars: The Clone Wars character who made her debut in the second season of the Disney Plus series. But one of the most interesting moments was a split-second shot of Katy O’Brian’s Comms Officer checking over her shoulder.
According to the theory circling the Comms Officer, she’s more than just a background character. It was even thought that she might be Star Wars Rebels’ Sabine Wren in disguse. The behind-the-scenes aspects of her character would support this theory as well. Katy O’Brian was an up-and-comer during the production of The Mandalorian, but she’s since got her major break; she’ll star with Kristen Steward in Saint Maud director Rose Glass’s new film, Love Lies Bleeding. So giving her a juicy storyline in The Mandalorian Season 3 would make sense to take advantage of a soon-to-be big name. Another shot of the teaser reveals that she’s shown walking and talking with the mysterious Dr. Pershing, the scientist who spearheaded the cloning experiments that targeted Grogu (“Baby Yoda”). It would be shocking to see her turn loyalties in The Mandalorian Season 3 since she’s a character hiding in plain sight, and she’s clearly featured in the leaked teaser.
