I was surprised to find out Ezra receives so much hate. He’s a kid, and a charismatic kid at that. He’s not the best character in Rebels, but that’s because Rebels has some phenomenal characters. I honestly don’t get the hate.
Yeah, I kind of wish that the last time we saw Ezra, he wasn’t adamantly proclaiming himself to be a Jedi.
As Kansan is recovering from his blindness, Ezra could’ve been the one learning from the Bendu, and we could see him leaning more into his special force ability of being able to bond with animals. He’s still a Jedi, or Jedi-like, but since he didn’t grow up in the order, and is being trained by someone who was essentially a padawan, Ezra kind of does his own thing. It would’ve given Ezra a different flavor of Force user, and made him more distinct from other post-Order 66 Jedi like Luke and Cal Kestis. I mean, this isn’t far from what we got, but I guess I would’ve liked it if they leaned into it even more.
I mean, when you have people like Kanan, Ahsoka, Maul, and the Bendu as teachers, you’re perspective on the Force is gonna be different than you’re typical Jedi. I hope when we see Ezra again after all these years, we see that he is a very different kind of Jedi than we expect.
