exist Ahsoka In episode seven, Ezra Bridger strangely refuses to take up a lightsaber while fighting bandits, despite Sabine Wren’s insistence that he take up the weapon. While his new Noti allies may have influenced him with their pacifist lifestyle, his rejection actually speaks to a deeper change in character. While in exile in Peridia, Ezra likely continued to fight Thrawn, wiping out some of his night soldiers. In other words, he learned how to fight without the need for weapons.
Although Ezra refused to take his old lightsaber from Sabine, he still successfully fought against the Peridian Bandits, Thrawn’s night forces, and even Sinhadi. Without a lightsaber, Ezra developed a new form of combat by combining hand-to-hand combat with well-timed Force thrusts. He told Sabine, “The Force is my ally. That’s all I need” A sentence that is very reminiscent of Rogue One Chirrut Yingwe, he said “I am one with the Force, and the Force is with me.” Regardless, there are several good reasons behind Ezra’s newfound confidence in lightsaber combat.
Ezra hasn’t wielded a lightsaber in at least nine years
It sounds strange, but in their current situation, Sabine is actually more qualified to wield a lightsaber than Ezra, and he knows it. Ahsoka happens after The Mandalorian Season 3 in Star Wars In the timeline, Carson Tyvar mentioned Moff Gideon’s rebellion on Mandalore during Hera Syndulla’s hearing. This means it’s been at least nine years since Ezra last wielded a lightsaber during the war. star wars rebels Season 4 finale. He wasn’t practicing anymore, but he knew Sabine wasn’t. He may also be confident that Ahsoka chose Sabine as her apprentice because he knew Sabine would be successful.
Ezra gave Sabine his lightsaber, thinking it was hers
Another reason Ezra refuses to take his lightsaber back is that he gave it to her in the first place. During the Battle of Lothal, Ezra slipped away to fight Thrawn alone, leaving his lightsaber on Chopper to give to Sabine. In the years following this battle, Sabine modified the sword to suit her own style, and according to Hu Yang, it resembled her own lightsaber more than Ezra’s. She’s also had it much longer than he has, which is why Ezra believes it has become her weapon now.
Dave Filoni still has the potential to create a big moment for viewers Ahsoka’s Finally, Ezra is forced to pick up his lightsaber again, similar to when Captain America finally wields Mjolnir Avengers: Endgame. But until then, Ezra seems to be just fighting his fair share of instincts. Perhaps he developed an unwavering trust in the Force during his time in exile because he had nothing else in his arsenal to use against Thrawn. Regardless, it remains to be seen whether Ezra continues to refuse to use a lightsaber in the game. Ahsoka ending.
