Ezra Bridger (alternate line)

"How we choose to fight is as important as the reason we fight."

- Ezra Bridger Ezra Bridger was a human Jedi Padawan who became a rebel fighter and a revolutionary leader during the initial rebellion against the Galactic Empire. He was born of Ephraim and Mira Bridger, whose public criticism of the Empire caused his imprisonment, leaving Bridger as an orphan in Lothal when he was a child. Ezra joined the rebel crew of the Spirit in 5 BBY and became the Jedi apprentice of Kanan Jarrus. Bridger's abilities grew rapidly, and a message of hope he relayed inspired a large number of rebel cells to work together to fight the Empire.

In 4 BBY, Bridger found out that his parents had died trying to escape from a prison. The young Jedi, having dealt with the dark side, became more conflicted, until he reached the ancestral world of the Sith Malachor, where he recovered a Sith holocron in the hope of knowing how to destroy the Sith. He also met Darth Maul, who hoped to make Bridger his apprentice - particularly after Bridger used the dark side to open the holocron. That strained his learning under the tutelage of Jarrus, who had been blinded by Maul's work in Malachor, but both regained their good relationship and continued to progress as a Jedi.

With his powers strengthening, Bridger assumed more roles as a leader in the rebellion, including helping clone captain and rebel mentor CT-7567 "Rex" and a surviving battalion of the Separatist Alliance seal the peace and give a sense of conclusion to the Wars Clone. Bridger also came into conflict with Grand Admiral Thrawn, helped his companion Sabine Wren in his effort to unite the Mandalorians, and sought to find Jedi Master Obi-Wan Kenobi, who Ezra believed was the key to destroying the Sith.

In 1 BBY, Bridger managed to free his people from the control of the Empire during the Liberation of Lothal. After the fall of the Empire, Ezra together with Sabine formed a family.
