SPECULATION Does Ezra have any ties to VII?

No, he will definitely be killed off at some point probably in the years of the OT since it seems the empire thinks Darth Vader was the only Jedi until it was found Obi-Wan and Luke both existed. This would mean that the Rebels Jedi could still be out there, but they were most likely destroyed at some point after Rebels will end. Could Kanan come back as an old guy in VIII? It's possible, but not likely.

 

I think so, but I don't know how big of a tie-in it would be.

I thought that a while back too! The best I could come up with at the time is that he just amounts so much scarring - like Vader - that he doesn't even look human anymore. Him joining the Knights of Ren or having a connection to the Acolytes of Beyond would be cool, but I still feel like if he's going to be in the ST as a live action character, he needs a bigger part than just being a member of an organization or a background character.

I toyed with the tinfoil idea of Ezra being Kylo Ren's father (I know, I know the odds of that happening are worse than navigating an asteroid field), but that would only work if Kylo isn't a Solowalker (which he most likely is).

 

A good amount of Star Wars character last names have something to do with how they are portrayed or the sort of job or parentage they may have head. Example: Luke Skywalker tends to be a good pilot and Han Solo "works alone" in a sense. This could mean literally anything or nothing. I do like your theory though. We'll have to keep an eye on that one.

 

Technically he is a "bridger" between the PT and OT already. I assumed when Rebels began that the Ghost crew would be the ones to get the Death Star plans and many of them would die getting the plans to Leia. I now doubt that with Rogue One, though they may still tie into that storyline in the series with a possible mention in RO. I doubt Ezra or Kanan will live to see the events of the OT let alone the ST.
If Ezra does live and go to the Dark Side, I would expect him to be one of those who traveled beyond the Galaxy in search of the source of the Dark Side.

 

I always thought has him being a "bridger" between the OT and the ST somehow...

 

But he is interacting with characters from the PT (including TCW) and the OT. He was born the same day and year as Luke (ROTS) and his story is taking place about five years before the OT. There is no indication that he will be around for the ST. Rebels is literally a bridge between TCW and ANH.

 

Sadly, like stated above he may have to DIE.

Yoda told LUKE that once he was gone, the last of the Jedi he will be.


So, you can be optimistic and hope he stays around and shows up later. Yoda did say the LAST of the Jedi.

You can take that either way IMO.

1. Luke is the last of the remaining Jedi - Which I hope because then Ezra might not be dead
or

2. Luke is the LAST Jedi -

So we still don't have an answer.... lol

 

Also true. However, there's nothing saying he can't be alive during the ST, just that he can't be a traditional Jedi (or feel free to expand it to any type of Jedi). He could eventually interact with characters who might appear in the ST, just some we haven't seen yet. Heck, he might be one of the "bridges" between all three. I'm just a fan of the idea that he survives and/or impacts the ST in some way.

He wasn't born on the same day according to Pablo Hidalgo - he was born a few days before Luke and Leia (semantics, I know, but still...). Pablo thinks that the Mustafar fight happens a couple days after Order 66 (or at least when Palpatine declared the Empire).

@Old Biff from the Future, most fans thought Ahsoka had to die for it to fit with the story and she didn't (sorry about this if it's a spoiler!). Who says Ezra isn't lined up for the same thing to happen to him?

 

Maybe Ezra didn't complete enough training to be counted as a jedi and after all kanan technically is a padawan still and asokha left the Jedi order ...none Jedi knights but still light side force users..maybe Ezra could be still around with incomplete set of skills...personally not fond of the character or show could have been done a bit darker like clone wars..

 

I think it makes it awkward and less interesting for any Jedi (other than Luke) or Sith to survive past ROTJ. That doesn't mean Ezra can't renounce the Jedi ways, though. But I still don't care for him living into the ANH time frame.
Ahsoka hasn't died... yet. The idea that she has to die before ANH could still be true.

 

No way will Disney kill off the child protagonist of their children's show. Just won't happen. He'll remain neutral, a Force using vigilante, or simply give up the fight before Disney kills off the kid. Kanan and Ahsoka though... we'll see.

 

Agreed

We'll agree to disagree here then I guess.

Yeah it hurts me to say it, but I think she's a goner. I'd LOVE for her to live through the OT, but having her around wouldn't make a lot of sense (unless her and the (surviving) crew fight outside the realm of known space - a possibility for the crew I'm actually considering). Mentioning her was just to point out how she subverted expectations (but you got that )

 

Coming from a storyteller perspective, I would love it if Obi-Wan met up with Ahsoka and she convinced him that Vader can still be redeemed - "Obi-Wan once thought as you do." She could confront Vader much like Luke in ROTJ and give an impassioned plea for him to renounce the Dark Side. I see her throwing away her weapons and turning her back on Vader. Obi-Wan would be separated, incapable of helping, but watching this happen.
"Please, Master Anakin."
Vader would lower his head in contemplation... then ignite his saber through her back. "Anakin Skywalker is dead."

 

^^^^^ I like.

 

NO

 

I'm big, and I mean big fan of Ahsoka and I'd love to see her survive events of Rebels. But it needs to make sense. I have to say, that her being killed by Vader might be great story telling device. Her sacrifice in attempt to redeem her master might awake a part of Anakin that Vader wanted to forgot about. This deed might create a light in Vader that Luke was aware of, a conflict missed by Yoda, Ben and Palpatine.

On the other hand I can see her being alive if there's an idea for continuation of her story. Live action, another animated series, comics, books whatever.

I just don't want her to survive for sake of survival alone. I don't want her character to float in ether, to vanish to nothingness.

As for Ezra I actually can see him turning dark, but not traditional dark. I don't want to see him becoming another Inquisitor, or Sith wannabe/apprentice. If he goes dark i want him to be against both Sith and Jedi. I can see him exploring the outer rim in purchase of knowledge and power during events of OT and returning as disfigured, zombie like, powerful Snoke.

 

There's still time for it to go that way, and I think it will. Unfortunately for all of the characters involved, it almost has to.

 

I was a strong hoper that Luptia was playing Ahsoka but alas. I am sure Maz will be cool.

Well I think Snoke being zombie like was not an official description I believe reptilian is more likely. Both are possible. Though I think Snoke is an alien not just disfigured.
