I can only get so hard.
In all seriousness this looks like it might actually scratch that SW itch I still have from the end of the last season of Mando.
As far as we saw in Rebels, she only trained with Kanan. Sabine only found the Dark Saber well after the events at Malachor, which was the last we really saw of Ahsoka in Rebels until the bits in the last few episodes, so didn't train with Ahsoka. I'm a little puzzled by the whole "walking away from you" and "Master" bits in the trailer, since they didn't really have a relationship other than fellow insurgents in Rebels.
Anyway, I would expect Sabine to have lightsaber skills similar to Bo-Katan's, given that Bo-Katan likely trained with it more than Sabine did (though, on the other hand, Sabine had some instruction from an actual Jedi). She has her Mandalorian tricks (like the cable gun, flame thrower, etc.) that should make it a more interesting fight with a Force wielder, but she'd be outmatched.

Remember that Rebels ended before the Battle of Yavin. There were about 5 years between the main story finale and the epilogue, which would have been plenty of time for Ahsoka to spend some time training and then subsequently abandoning Sabine ahead of their reunion shown in the epilogue.
yeah this show is going to be too mainstream for them to just throw it at the audiences that haven’t watched the animated series without giving background. Otherwise all the more casual star wars watchers are going to be constantly asking “who’s this, who’s that, why does this matter, why does it seem like we’ve seen him before?”.
Of course, the other route they could take is writing in such a way that you don’t really need any of the backstory for this story to be told, but I doubt that’s going to be the case for some reason
