I do believe Kanan left his Jedi ideals when Order 66 was executed, and according to the producers of the series, 'put down his lightsaber.'

Secondly, the fact Sabine is not a Mandalorian is pure speculation with no evidence backing it.

Third of all, I don't think constant death and suffering is the essence of decent storytelling. It may serve a component of good storytelling for sure, but otherwise you might as well watch slasher films to get your fill. A reason I personally dislike the concept of story arcs in general is because it's meant to appeal to an audience with a short attention span which leaves many plot holes, loose ends, and some disregard of the past. There are three types of serials from my perspective, you have cartoons, something like one of those Marvel television series' on Disney XD or The Clone Wars for example, and then you have an HBO, AMC, or even Fox television series such as Game of Thrones, Breaking Bad, or 24. Several forms of enterainment caters to several forms of audiences, and this is what I think Star Wars Rebels is missing: the consistency to maintaing decent storytelling and the feel of Star Wars that we all love and know.
