Eman Esfandi, who portrayed Ezra Bridger in the live-action series Ahsoka, dedicated significant effort to training for his role. While his character was established as an apprentice to Kanan Jarrus in the animated series Rebels, Esfandi's own introduction to Jedi combat techniques originated from a surprising digital source.
The actor revealed that his very first Jedi move was inspired by Luke Skywalker's abilities in the video game Star Wars: Battlefront II. Esfandi recognized the specific maneuver, known as Saber Rush, immediately upon seeing it within the game's mechanics.
Esfandi maintains a Twitch channel where he has showcased his gameplay in titles such as Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order and Battlefront II. During his streams, he has demonstrated his engagement with these Star Wars experiences, even facing challenges like the Ninth Sister in Fallen Order.
Fans of the series must wait for the return of Ezra Bridger, as the second season of Ahsoka is currently scheduled for release on January 20, 2027. It remains uncertain whether the upcoming season will fully showcase the character's Jedi capabilities.
