Ezra Bridger

**Ezra Bridger**, also known by his call-sign **Spectre 6** is the main protagonist of the 2014-2018 animated television series, *Star Wars Rebels*. He is a young Force-sensitive human boy who spent a majority of his early life as a street urchin on the Outer Rim world Lothal after his parents were taken away by agents of the Galactic Empire. After living a life alone on the streets, Ezra joined the crew of the *Ghost*, a small rebel cell who sought to bring down the Empire. Amongst the members of the *Ghost's* crew was Kanan Jarrus, a former Jedi Padawan who had survived the Great Jedi Purge. Kanan, recognizing Ezra's strong Force-sensitivity, decides to take the boy in as his Jedi Padawan and train him the ways of the Force and the Jedi.

A few months before the commencement of the Galactic Civil War, Ezra sacrificed himself to defeat Grand Admiral Thrawn and liberate Lothal of the Empire's hold by stranding himself and Thrawn's fleet to the Unknown Regions. Since then, his close comrades Sabine Wren and Ahsoka Tano have began a long voyage in the hopes of bringing him home.

## Powers and abilities

### Powers

* **Power of the Force:** Ezra is one of the most powerful Force users, along with several others, such as the Skywalker family, Rey, and Yoda. He was able to jump long distances when making escapes on the rooftops and sense things before they happened. However, Ezra merely struck it off as luck and was completely unaware he was Force-sensitive until he unknowingly attracted the attention of former Jedi knight and Order 66 survivor, Kanan Jarrus. They both sensed each other through the Force before their first meeting.
	+ **Telekinesis:** Ezra was able to move a person away from him through the use of this ability that he had an affinity with. He later protected Zeb by Force-pushing Agent Kallus several feet away from him and threw him with the Force twice: first by throwing him against the wall when Kallus attacked them on Garel and a third time when making the Empire believe Kallus was still working with them and not the Rebels.
		- **Force Barrier:** Using the Force, Ezra can create a force Barrier to protect himself and others. He helped Ahsoka create one around himself and her against Emperor Palpatine in the World between worlds. Later, he created a Force Barrier when he and Thrawn went into hyperspace, which is how Ezra and Thrawn survived in the Unknown Regions.
		- **Force Grip:** Ability to grip individuals/objects into the air.
		- **Force Throw:** Ability to throw items and individuals to a designated target.
		- **Force Deflection:** Ability to deflect incoming attacks through the Force without his lightsaber
		- **Force Pull:** A form of telekinesis. Ability to pull individuals/items towards the Force user.
		- **Force Push:** A form of telekinesis. Ability to push people through the Air offensively or defensively.
	+ **Telepathy:** The ability to mentally communicate with certain individuals.
		- **Mind Trick:** Ability to manipulate the thoughts of another being. However, some are able to resist, such as Force-wielders and those with a strong mind. In "Steps Into Shadow", Ezra's use of the Sith Holocron for knowledge allowed him to mentally reach out to others from a distance to completely control their actions without the need for verbal commands; this ability is derived from the dark side of the Force.
			* **Mind Probing Resistance:** Using the Force, Ezra was able to resist the Seventh Sister probing his mind.
		- **Taming Beasts:** Ability to bond with another creature/being. Ezra used this ability often, being taught by Kanan Jarrus.
	+ **Force Jump -** To use the Force to jump at greater distances. Ezra used the Force Jump multiple times. This included Ezra's time to life on the streets, where he could jump great distances between the rooftops of the buildings. On the mission to Reklam Station, where Ezra managed to jump onto the deck of the Ghost. He later did this on the mission to Geonosis, where he lands on the other side of a chasm (courtesy of Kanan's Force throw). Ezra later used it to rescue Sabine's father, where he jumped off the transport.
	+ **Force dash** - The ability to move through amazing speeds.
	+ **Force Vision** - Ability to have visions of the past, present and future. However, images are not always clear and can sometimes happen against the Force user's will. Ezra experienced his first Force vision, warning him about Gall Trayvis being a traitor.
	+ **Force Sense** - Ability to sense another being's emotions, presence (such as presence of darkness). Ezra used Force-sense for the first time on Lothal, when he felt the presence of Kanan Jarrus before they even met. He could also sense Darth Vader before Kanan could.
	+ **Enhanced Reflexes:** Due to use of the Force, Ezra has better and faster reflexes that normal people would never have.
	+ **Indomitable Will:** Ezra's strength within the Force has also gained the attention of several dark side users, including the Grand Inquisitor and Seventh Sister, and former Sith Lord, Maul, who all saw Ezra as a potential apprentice. However, due to Ezra's indominable will, he remained aligned with the light side of the Force and immediately rejected their attempts to turn him to the dark side and train him out of loyalty to his Master and friends.

### Abilities

* **Skilled Lightsaber Combatant:** Being taught how to use a lightsaber by Kanan Jarrus, Ezra is skilled in lightsaber combat, having been able to hold out long enough on the Grand Inquisitor. However, Ezra cannot fight against Darth Vader for long. The Seventh Sister praised Ezra for his lightsaber skills, claiming he performed well with a lightsaber. He was no match for the Fifth brother and the Seventh Sister when Ezra went to fight them on Garel, as Kanan stopped him from engaging them in lightsaber combat. However, in Shroud of Darkness, Ezra was able to hold out on the Seventh Sister and the Fifth Brother longer than their previous encounters. He especially well-versed in Form III (like his master Kanan and grandmaster Depa Billaba). Ezra also fought with two lightsabers during a brief duel with the Nightsisters, wielding both his lightsaber and the Darksaber, called Jar'kai (a lightsaber technique that allows the user to duel with two lightsabers just like his old friend and mentor, Ahsoka Tano). As of "Steps into Shadow", Ezra's lightsaber skills have improved significantly, as he was able to defeat and kill several stormtroopers in quick succession while freeing Hondo Ohnaka from an Imperial prison. Overtime, Ezra became highly skilled in lightsaber dueling, mentoring Sabine how to wield the Darksaber.
	+ **Form IV:** Ezra is highly skilled in Ataru. When Ezra begun to study Form IV through a recording of the former Jedi Knight Anakin Skywalker found in Kanan's holocron, he could briefly engage the Fifth Brother and Seventh Sister in a duel alongside Kanan. But he was no match for Darth Vader. After training with the Sith holocron, Ezra's fighting style became more brutal and aggressive.
* **Aviation:** He was also a skilled pilot, being taught by Hera Syndulla and more than capable of flying the Gauntlet, the ship previously called the Nightbrother and belonged to Maul.
* **High-Level Intellect:** Ezra is a fairly intelligent teenager with a high-level intellect. He is able to come up with solutions fairly fast with fast thinking. During the battle of Lothal, he managed to outwit Grand Admiral Thrawn, who was already said to be someone with a genius level intellect.
	+ **Survivalist Skills:** Ezra is able to survive outside, as he used to live his life on the streets, but stole to survive for at least eight years.
	+ **Master Deception:** Due to living a life on the streets, Ezra can manage to lie around the Imperial officers, even without his Jedi Mind trick. He managed to even trick Hondo into believing he was Lando Calrissian (However a brief time they had.) However, he overused his Jabba the Hutt alias in Season 1 and 2 and stopped using it by Season 3. It also appeared that while he lied to Maul, the dark-sider could tell Ezra was hiding something during their brief time together.
	+ **Capable Leader:** By the age seventeen, Ezra was already a Lieutenant Commander for the Rebel Alliance. He managed to inspire others and gained respect of several individuals, such as Saw Gerrera, Hondo Ohnaka and Rex for his fighting spirit. Ezra led a team of rebels during a mission that eventually let him regain his title again and during the liberation of Lothal.
	+ **Bilingualism:** Ezra is able to understand binary, as he easily has conversations with Chopper in Season 3.

## Possessions

### Equipment

#### Lightsabers

* **First Lightsaber:** Ezra constructed a lightsaber made from parts Sabine, Hera, Kanan and Chopper provided that was a combination of a blaster and a lightsaber, having a blue blade. However, he kept the blaster on stun due to his inability to kill someone. It was destroyed by Darth Vader during their duel on Malachor.
* **Second Lightsaber:** The second lightsaber Ezra constructed, but this time, it was made more like a traditional Jedi and had a green blade.

#### Weapons

* **Energy Slingshot:** Ezra owned an energy slingshot as a weapon. It was able to knock his opponents off of buildings. It was not powerful enough to penetrate Stormtrooper armor. Ezra discarded it after he gained his own lightsaber.
* **Pistol:** Ezra began owning a pistol after his lightsaber/blaster hybrid was destroyed by Darth Vader on Malachor.
* **Jetpack:** Ezra briefly owned a jetpack during the mission to Mandalore, rescuing Sabine's father. However, Ezra got rid of it, as he found it troublesome to control.

#### Other Possessions

* **Holodisk:** Ezra had a holodisk that contained a picture of him and his parents before they were taken away by Stormtroopers.
* **Kanan's lightsaber:** Ezra temporarily would wield Kanan's lightsaber during training and during the fight against the Inquisitor on Tarkin's Star Destroyer.
* **Jedi Holocron:** Ezra took Kanan's Jedi Holocron and later opened it on Kallus' Star Destroyer. He later used it when he and Maul were combining the Jedi and Sith Holocrons. However, in the process, both Holocrons were destroyed and it unintentionally forged a Force bond between Ezra and Maul.
* **Sith Holocron:** Ezra and Maul acquired the Sith Holocron on Malachor together and Ezra kept the holocron in his possession from "Twilight of the Apprentice," where he first opened it until *Steps Into Shadow*, where Kanan confiscated it from him. After they retrieved it from the kryna spiders, Ezra possessed it until giving it to Maul, who combined both the Sith and Jedi Holocrons together before they were ultimately destroyed.

## Facilities

* **Lothal: Ezra's home planet.**
	+ **Bridger Residence**: Until he was eight years old, Ezra used to live in the residence with his parents. However, he was forced to abandon it when Stormtroopers arrested his parents seven years prior to the series. He and the team often used the house as a rendezvous point until the Stormtroopers destroyed it in "The Siege o Lothal."
	+ **Ezra's Tower**: After the arrest of his parents, Ezra took up residence in an old abandoned communications' tower. However, he later abandoned it after being adopted by the Ghost crew. Kallus later used the facility to do his Fulcrum broadcasts, which he often used to contact the Rebels and warn them about the Empire. Sabine Wren took up residence in the tower while staying behind to watch Lothal in Ezra's absence.
* **Garel:** Ezra and the Ghost crew was hidden on Garel when their team was stationed there while hiding from the Empire.
* **The *Ghost*:** When Ezra was adopted by the *Ghost* crew, he moved into their ship and has come to consider it more like a home than a vehicle used in rebellions. He shared a room with Zeb, and often slept in it whenever the team was stationed at the rebel base.
	+ **The Phantom I:** At first, Ezra didn't know how to fly the starship and required one of his friends to fly it whenever he was with Kanan, Sabine or Hera. By season 3, he knew how to fly any vehicle. The team arrived on the Phantom I to various locations. Ezrawould have flown the ship out of the falling space station in "Steps into Shadow" had the Phantom not been destroyed
	+ ***The Phantom II:*** The replacement ship for the Ghost Crew after the first one was destroyed in the season 3 premiere. Ezra and his team often operated in the Phantom II after the first ship was destroyed.
* **Lothal Resistance Base Camp:** Ezra and the *Ghost* crew lived in the Lothal resistance camp with the other rebels when they were a part of the Lothal resistance and partook in the Liberation of Lothal.
