I just spotted the weirdest parallel betweenEzra BridgerandSabine WreninAhsoka, and it might give away more about their characters than we initially thought. Both Ezra and Sabine were initially introduced in the animated seriesStar Wars Rebels, and their live-action debuts were made inAhsoka. Ezra Bridger was introduced as an orphan living on his own on his home planet of Lothal, where he eventually came across the Spectres—a group of rebels living aboardHera Syndulla’s ship, theGhost. Among this crew was Sabine Wren, a Mandalorian who had left home after fleeing the Imperial Academy.
ThroughoutRebels’ four seasons, we got to see Ezra grow not only as a person, but also as a Jedi. WhenAhsokarevealed thatAhsoka Tano was training Sabine Wren as a Jedi, it didn’t come as a surprise, because Sabine had already emulated so many Jedi characteristics after living with Ezra and Kanan Jarrus for years. As it turns out, however, there are more parallels between the pair’s Jedi training journeys than initially thought, and I’ve just found one that’s quite strange.
Ezra Bridger Struggled To Move A Cup Just Like Sabine in Ahsoka
Ezra Struggled With Using The Force, Just Like Sabine
InRebelsseason 1, episode 4 “Fighter Flight,” Ezra Bridger is trying to focus and use the Force to move a cup while in theGhost. Ezra visibly struggles and ultimately loses the battle with the dishware and gives up. While this is the beginning of Ezra’s Jedi training,it’s amazing to see where he started, versus where we just saw him inAhsoka.Ezra Bridger may now be a fully trained and powerful Jedi, but it’s easy to forget that at the beginning ofRebels, he knew nothing.
Ahsoka Season 2: Story, Updates, Everything We Know
Ahsoka season 2 is confirmed and has received exciting new story and filming updates. Here’s everything we know about the Star Wars project.
InAhsokaseason 1, episode 3 “Part Three: Time To Fly,” we see Ahsoka Tano continuing Sabine Wren’s training aboard her ship. It’s clear that Sabine’s ability to access the Force is lacking, and in many ways, it calls into question why Sabine is being trained as a Jedi. However, when Ahsoka andHuyangwalk away, Sabine tries to use the Force to move a cup.While we, the audience, are rooting for her, much like Ezra, she fails to move the cup.Sabine even admits defeat to the cup, implying that their battle isn’t over yet.
Ezra & Sabine’s Similar Struggle Shows Just How Connected They Are As Family
Rebels Established This Found Family
One of the things that connected everyone aboard theGhostinRebelsis that they all didn’t have or didn’t speak to their blood family, so instead they made their own. Sabine and Ezra having the same struggle with moving something as small as a cup shows that they think in a lot of the same ways, even though these scenes take place more than ten years apart from one another. The reason why Sabine went toPeridea inAhsokawas to find her missing family in Ezra.

Many joke thatAhsokaseason 1 was justRebelsseason 5 in disguise, and in many ways that’s true, but it also continues one of the biggest themes from the show.Ahsokafelt so much likeRebelsbecause family, and found family in particular, was a huge driving force for the characters. This struggle of moving a cup parallel between Sabine and Ezra is just another wayAhsokaconnects these characters and shows.
