In the prequels, everyone in the Jedi temple is there because of their force sensitivity and to be trained in the Jedi ways of the force, but there’s a ‘cap’ or a ‘limit’ to what they are capable of because they are only given the choice of stepping into the light side of the force. After that, it was saving his beloved Padmé from death.įor Luke, it was the restoration of the Jedi in general, and a distinct family dynamic that has provided motivation for him (and every trilogy thus far) throughout.įor Rey, it’s again about discovering her identity and who her family is, and possibly reuniting with them if she can become powerful enough.įor others, if you’re a fan of Star Wars, you can pretty well figure it out. Ezra, with no reason to trust anyone as a self-proclaimed ‘survivor’, had to choose the Jedi and he had to choose good versus evil with no structure of Jedi in place following Order 66.Įvery single Jedi in Star Wars has some kind of ulterior motive, good or bad.įor Anakin, it was fulfilling this prophecy that he was the ‘chosen one’. By pure, I don’t mean that Ezra was a saint, either. What makes Ezra such a great Jedi? First and foremost, Ezra had the purest motives of any Jedi in canon. One of the main characters of the animated series Star Wars: Rebels went from “street rat” on his home planet of Lothal to the key to unlocking the World Between Worlds in one of the most memorable moments in Star Wars storytelling. He may not have had the greatest teacher (although Kanan Jarrus, a survivor of Order 66, is not a bad mentor at all). He wasn’t labeled the chosen one and he wasn’t the last hope in the galaxy. What are the major reasons for this bold claim?Īmong all of the great stories we have in Star Wars canon, whether film, novel, comic, or animated series, there may not be a greater Jedi than Ezra Bridger.Įzra is certainly not the longest tenured Jedi. Of all the Jedi in Star Wars canon, Ezra Bridger just might be the greatest. By Sayre Bedinger 2 years ago Follow Tweet
