Fan-favorite Star Wars hero inspired by Roman history

By the way, this information about Sabine Wren comes to us thanks to the official Star Wars website. A page on the site, now defunct, reviewed the inspiration for the names of various characters from this great cartoon, and several characters were inspired by mythology.

For example, the site (still available via Waybackmachine even after being purged from the official site, Kamino-style) mentions that the name Hera (remember, she is the fearless mother of this found family) comes from the god Greek Hera whose name means “protector.”

As for Sabine Wren, her name is taken from an ancient Roman mythology, but the specific story is a bit sad. The story goes that the early days of the Roman Empire were a great sausage fest, which led the leader Romulus to worry that the city did not have enough women to support the population of his growing empire.

Therefore, Rome began to negotiate with neighboring societies, with the aim of finding wives for Roman men.
