One of the main characters from Star Wars Rebels, Ezra has quickly become one of my favourite Jedi and because of this I wanted to create a Respect Thread for him. It will also be mentioned during which season certain feats took place in order to give a clear overview on Ezra’s abilities.
Respect Ezra Bridger.
Force Power

The Star Wars Rebels Visual Guide notes that Ezra has the potential to become a powerful Jedi.
“The Force is strong in Ezra-he has the potential to become a powerful Jedi if he works hard.”

Kanan had never completed his Jedi training. While in hiding, he’d denied his Force abilities and battled his guilt over his inability to save his master. But that changed when he encountered a thieving orphan named Ezra Bridger, who possessed remarkable strength with the Force.

One large stone stood out, like a strange artefact from another age. Stranger still was when the Force took Ezra’s mind inside, as if solid rock was nothing. He found himself in a chamber that narrowed into a tunnel, where at its end blazed a bright, bright star. Ezra opened his eyes. There was no need for a hyperdrive. The Jedi temple was right there, on Lothal.”
