As he was watching from the rooftops, he felt an odd presence nearby, and noticed man and a young Mandalorian suddenly execute a heist that resulted in them stealing the crates. Once the Imperial were dealt with, Ezra jumped in, and stole a speeder bike that carried two of the crates and dove off, but no before thanking them for "doing the heavy lifting". The rebel chased him through the city, and the Mandalorian managed to catch up to him. Instead of stopping him, she complimented him for performing a "gutsy move" and stole only one of the crates before wishing him good luck. Ezra was eventually stopped by an incoming TIE Fighter, but was saved by the same freighter he noticed the other day. The man he was being chased by earlier offered him a ride, and knowing that more TIE were well on the way, Ezra accepted his offer and boarded the ship with his one crate. Performing an impressive jump on board. He then met the entire crew of the ship Kanan Jarrus, Hera Syndulla, Garazeb "Zeb" Orelleos, Sabine Wren, and C1-10P aka "Chopper".

Overtime, he revealed his past during the early rebel movement on Lothal, and his parents illegal broadcasts.

Once it was made aware that both he and Kanan were Jedi, the Empire sent out Inquisitors to hunt them down, but were unsuccessful. Even Darth Vader was unable to apprehend them. By 4 BBY, Ezra and the *Ghost* crew were brought into the larger Rebel Movement Against the Empire, meeting Jedi Knight Cal Kestis, coming into conflict with Imperial Grand Admiral Thrawn and encountered the former Sith Lord Maul.

#### Liberating Lothal

By 1 BBY, Ezra found the Empire tightening its grip on his home planet Lothal. Wanting to liberate it for so long, he and the *Ghost* crew and smaller Rebel cells on the planet began to disrupt the Imperial occupation there. During their mission, Thrawn resurfaced and conducted operations to lure the Rebels out. One time, Hera was captured and the rebels had to rescue her. While they were successful, Kanan had no choice but to sacrifice his own life to save everyone. Using Kanan's death, Ezra managed to rally the rebels into removing Imperial control of a Jedi Temple on Lothal, where he discovered a mysterious realm where time and space are non-existent. The following day, he and the rebels led an attack on the Imperial Dome that held all Imperial forces. They managed to trick the forces to return to the Dome and trap them inside, hoping to launch it in to the sky and explode. But Thrawn the arrived on the planet with an ultimatum: Ezra will turn himself in, and the rebels will be safe. Ezra, with help from Sabine and Chopper, escaped the Dome and arrived at Thrawn's Star Destroyer, the *Chimera*. There he was forced to speak with a hologram of the Emperor Palpatine, but he quickly escaped from his influence and fought his way onto the bridge of the ship. Holding Thrawn at gunpoint, he revealed that all of this was part of his plan: trap Thrawn on his ship, while the rebels in the Dome prep it for launch. The *Ghost* then arrived, being followed by Purrgils, creatures that could travel through hyperspace. Known that he was defeated, Thrawn proclaimed that whatever happened next would happen to both of them. To which Ezra responded that was his idea. The Purrgils proceeded to destroy all of the Thrawn's fleet, before latching onto the damaged *Chimera*. as the creatures prepared to jump to hyperspace, Ezra contacted the rebels one last time, saying that the Rebellion was up to them now, and that the force will always be with them. The Purrgils then jumped to hyperspace, taking Ezra and Thrawn to an unknown part of space.
