How close was Ezra Bridger to falling to the Dark Side

Between the events of season 2 and season 3 of Star Wars Rebels, Ezra Bridger goes through a bit of an identity crisis as he begans tampering with the Sith Holocron they retrieved from Malachor. #shorts #starwars #starwarsrebels #ezrabridger

If Ezra saw Sabine get injured and assumed she had died, holy crap he would have levelled an army

With those Cristal Clear Blue Eyes,
He could never be deceived.

Mind controlling the walker pilot was probably his most messed up move.

[Matisaro]

What he did to the AT-ST and making it kill it's friends then walked it off with a grin. Yeah bad ass dark jedi shit right there.

"I've seen what attachments can do to a fully trained Jedi knight"

Honestly, the danger of falling to the Dark Side is with EVERYONE. Even the greatest of masters have to wrestle with the idea that the Dark Side is always there and can easily creep up on them when they least expect it.

I’m just realizing this but Ezra is very similar to Anakin/Vader in terms of background info. Both have dead parents, wishes to save their loved ones, tries to find solutions through darker paths, their master was killed in front of them, and sacrificed themselves towards the end. Only difference Ezra stayed in the light while Vader became a Sith Lord. And by sacrifice by the end I mean to when it was the end of the series finale for rebels and Return of the Jedi for Vader the finale movie of the original trilogy.

Pretty close, I'd say. He was never the same since Malachor. Even after he gave up the Sith Holocron, I'd say if anything happened to Sabine, Zeb, Hera, or even Chopper, he'd go off the deep end. The only reason he didn't when Kanan died was because he was too engulfed in his own grief to do anything other than fester in his squallar. I kinda wish they did more with his struggle in season 3, but I still like the direction they took.

It always starts out well doesn’t it? “I’m doing this to protect my friends”.

The dark side is not as evil as it appears. It's use should be embraced, but it must be tempered with logic, as allowing your emotions to get out of control is what causes you to turn evil.

I want ezra to be one of those jedi who isn't against using the darkside but won't let himself fall to it or use it for great personal gain

[moviehermit]

I just wish we got more than 2 episodes of him dealing with dark side stuff. Could’ve become a whole season arc

[John_Thomas]

Cal kestis and Ezra doing the muscles hand clap in the future would be awesome!

Ezra throwing that AT-ST into a chasm to its death was 🥶🥶🥶

"There is no life.
There is no control.
There is no fate.
There is no power.
There is no emotion.
There is only Force."

I feel like Ezra had a very viable reason for nearly falling to the Darkside. Fear of losing his friends, who were the only family he had left after losing his parents, and he doesn’t want that pain again. So while he’s learning to become more and more powerful as a Jedi, he’s experiencing that fear more and more. It’s a potent combo, but he resists the darkness. Shows how strong he is.

I think his wonderful farewell speech showed us that he is putting the past behind him and sees a clear path in front of him. He will become an official Jedi Knight! I know not everyone will make it out alive, so I am currently not thinking about how the Ahsoka series/ Filoniverse will end.

Edit: If Luke and Ezra meet or train together, that will make me super happy. And Ahsoka come on… the old Jedi ways are gone, go make a better one with Luke or actually find Ezra🤦‍♂️. I’m worried he won’t even show up this season and the epilogue to Rebels with Sabine and Ashoka will be the end of this first season…

I swear Vader is that one bully everyone warns you about just for you not to take it serious

[iswiftyfox]

God Ezra and Maul as a master and apprentice duo would be the coolest thing ever. (i know ezra was temporarily mauls apprentice but he never actually fell to the dark side)

[GGBlaster]

I loved that scene with Ezra controlling the guy in the walker. Serious throwback to when you cheated max force powers in Jedi Knight games.
