As a Jedi Padawan, Ezra learned the ways of the Force, but he began to be drawn towards the dark side, which frightened his master. Desperate to learn how to defeat the Empire's Inquisitors, Ezra, alogn with Kanan, and Ahsoka Tano travelled to the planet Malachor, where they discovered a Sith Temple. Their discovery led to a confrontation between three Inquistors, the surviving Renegade Sith Lord Maul (who wanted Ezra to become his apprentice), and later Darth Vader. The battle ended with the Inquisitors dead, Maul disappearing, Kanan blinded, and Ahsoka left to fight Vader. Ezra and Kanan escaped with only a Sith Holocron. 6 months later, Ezra would reconcile with Kanan and his friends as they came into conflict with Grand Admiral Thrawn. Ezra, along with Sabine, would find themselves taking on more important roles in the Rebellion, including several mission together, forming a close friendship. He would later help Sabine reconcile with her family, at the cost of her staying with them.

Thrawn would eventually discover the location of Phoenix Squadron's base of operations on Attollon. As the Empire laid siege, Ezra managed to escape and gained help from Sabine and Clan Wren to help in evacuating the remaining rebels. While they were successful, Ezra's ship the *Gauntlet* was damaged by TIE Fighters, and during the jump to hyperspace, the ship was pulled out, stranding Bridger, Wren, and C1-10P in the Unknown Regions.

Finding shelter on the planet Remnant, Ezra and Sabine would discover that the Kingdom of Atlas was excavating old Separatist droids across the planet. Enlisting the help of RWBY and JNPR, and Clone Force 99, they would discover James Ironwood's exploitation of the Faunus species and the plans of a planetary coup. Ezra would also begin experiencing Force visions of a mysterious woman, leading to him finding a Jedi Temple on the planet. It was also during this time that he and Sabine would fall in love, however both would refuse to act on it. Eventually the latter would when she allowed herself to be captured by Atlas forces in order for the Gauntlet to escape. Ezra would opt to remain on the planet however with Clone Force 99 to form a resistance against Ironwood. Returning to the Jedi Temple, he would pass a test through the Force, coming to terms with his attachment to Sabine before meeting speaking with Jedi Master Yoda. Upon being informed of a threat lurking on the planet, Ezra would be granted the rank of Jedi Knight, before constructing a new pink-bladed lightsaber made from the previous sabers of deceased Jedi, and a kybar crystal gifted to him by Sabine.

Ezra would later be successful in stopping Ironwood and rescued Sabine leading to them starting a relationship. Several months later, he would discover that the woman from his visions was an entity known as Abeloth, who was trying to enter their universe from her prison in the Void. He and Sabine would stop her, at the cost being trapped in the Void themselves. Stranded for nearly a month, Ezra and Sabine would be continously be hunted by the Force entity and her servant Mark Temple. Ezra would eventually begin to have visions of a girl in red being killed by Abeloth when he and Sabine were rescued by Peter Parker and Tony Stark, being sent to Universe AC-5 for medical treatment. Linking up with the Avengers, Ezra and Sabine would join them in a campaign to stop Abeloth once and for all, under the alias **Spectre**.

## Background

The character Ezra Bridger was created by Dave Filoni, and was central character in the CGI-animated series *Star Wars Rebels*. As with other characters from *Rebels*, Ezra is based on religious and mythology to give the character a greater sense of purpose. He is named after the same individual from the Old Testament.

Ezra was voiced by actor Taylor Grey for the entire duration of *Rebels*. While Eman Esfandi portrays a live action Ezra in the *Ahsoka* series.

As with Sabine, Ezra's animated version was used as inspiration for his characterization in *RWBY: The Jedi and the Mandalorian*. His live-action will be used as an inspiration for *Empire At War*.

## Personality

Ezra is an overall friendly, outgoing, and caring individual. According to Sabine Wren, Ezra is known to put his family first, his friends second, and himself last. Initially however, Ezra was reclusive. Having grown up on his own and worked as a small-time thief and con artist, using his street smarts to steal technology and goods from the forces of the Galactic Empire, Ezra felt no loyalty to anyone during his childhood. Ezra's rough upbringing taught him not to trust others, let alone help them. He learned to survive by depending on himself, which he acknowledged made him selfish. Initially, Ezra only saw the crew of the *Ghost* as a means to an end, stealing any valuables from the ship he could find, but he soon befriended and developed a strong bond with the crew members, particularly with his master Kanan Jarrus, and later on with Sabine. He used his jokey attitude hide from the others what he really felt about his parents, but Ezra eventually became more trusting and came to the realization that he wanted to help others.

Ezra is also quite charismatic, which helped him get by during his early years, and generally has a strong sense of humor bordering on sarcasm. However his humor tends to result with his foot in his mouth on several occasions, often to Sabine's own amusement. Nonetheless, his charisma was helpful during his and Sabine's time on Remnant, such as with recruiting Teams RWBY and JNPR, and inspiring the planet inhabitants to rebel against the Atlas Military.

Being an orphan, Ezra values family deeply. He views the Ghost crew as his

His connection to the Force allows him to to perform various feets, such as lifting objects, performing mind tricks, feeling any beings emotions, and see visions of potential futures. Ezra also can make connections with animals through the Force, notably stronger than other Jedi. The Force has also created a strong bond between Ezra and Sabine Wren.
