Ezra Bridger
Growing up on his own during the age of the Empire, Ezra Bridger relied on his street smarts -- and subconscious Force abilities -- to survive. He became a con artist and small-time thief, doing what he needed to get by on his home planet Lothal. But this reality also hardened Ezra, who by the time he was 14 years old, had little trust for anyone. That would change with his introduction to the Ghost crew, a small band of rebels fighting back against the Empire. Ezra came to believe in their cause, and saw that he could help change the galaxy for the better. And with the help of Kanan Jarrus, he began to learn the ways of the Jedi.

Ezra Bridger lost his parents when he was seven and grew up as an orphan on Lothal, stealing to make a living and delighting in outfoxing the forces of the Empire. Ezra thought only of himself until the day he encountered a crew of rebels seeking to fight the Empire.
One of the rebels, Kanan Jarrus, told Ezra that his abilities came from the mysterious energy field known as the Force. Kanan was a fugitive Jedi, and offered to train Ezra as his Padawan. The boy agreed, though the road would not be easy for a master who hadn’t completed his own training and a headstrong apprentice who’d never liked taking orders from anybody.
During his time with the rebels, Ezra dedicated himself to a purpose beyond simply surviving, and saw his opposition to the Empire as a way to honor his parents’ sacrifice. He also grew as a Jedi, learning to control his powers and use them responsibly.
