Why Ezra is EXTREMELY Powerful In the Dark Side - Star Wars Explained 

I think they are developing Ezra’s character in a way that resembles Luke’s academy in Legends, where Jedi learn about the dark side for what it is, instead of fearing it and becoming lost in their emotions. They also knew what the temptations of the dark side were, but had the ability to resist them

super hot take, but I believe Ezra is the closest someone can get to Anakin's potential without being The Chosen One. the fact he could use Mind Domination, a darkside ability only Palpatine and one other Sith have achieved, with very little training & effort speaks VOLUMES. Ezra is probably one of the strongest force-users in the galaxy and we all casually ignored it

I think Ezra is drawn to the dark side because of his past experiences in life. But after meeting the ghost crew he learned how to control the force and let it flow through him.

Honestly, I'm actually interested in this side of Darth Maul because he has the kind of behavior that suggests he could be a really good Dark Side teacher for the Sith. Completely understandable but sad that he had to go after Obi-Wan Kenobi and then die.

Ezra and Kanan were examples of a Master who trusted his Apprentice, maybe even 2 Master's. Ezra learned from Maul as well, and Kanan trusted him to learn about the dark side. I think that is going to be important.

I hoping that Ezra or Cal will mark the rise of the grey Jedi because both understand the benefit and need for power while being careful not to be consumed by it. Edit: Also damn, a lot of people seem offended by the term grey Jedi, hilarious 🤣

I feel Ezra is like bendu, balance of ashla (light) and bogan(dark)

Rebels was giving a somewhat but not completely traditional outlook on the light and dark side: One is unproblematically useful, the other is a temptation that should better be resisted, even if it's also very useful at times. The Jedi characters were trustworthy, the Sith were treacherous and selfish. However, the animals and creatures of the force in the show were not playing by these same rules. They seem to be light and dark, fearsome but not evil. Now "Ahsoka" is another beast entirely, we get dark Jedi with a conscience who I believe care about each other, a Mandalorian Padawan who pretty much isn't force sensitive, and a protagonist who is symbolically light incarnate but constantly disagrees with the Jedi order's teachings embodied in Huyang. When Ezra shows up there I don't know what he will do but I doubt he will be on either side of the traditional binary (light=good=Jedi / dark=evil=Sith).

I keep thinking about The Bendu, on how he said that an object (talking about the sith holocorn) can't make someone evil, nor it is intrensicly evil. So maybe Esra could find hes own place in the midle. That would be truly outstanding and maybe even be the one who trains Grogu in the future with that new philosophy.

He could be like Mace in that he has the darkness within, but chooses not to be consumed by it...instead using it as a tool when needed.

Being able to use both the light and dark is insane. Ezra and Cal are going to be crazy

I think ezra is becoming the legends luke a better true version of the Jedi a balance plus sabine is going to be there alongside him to help him. Yes I ship Sabezra those two have left bodies of imperials through the galaxy 😂. They calm each other so much those two both have tragic past that their chemistry is very interesting.

I don’t think Ezra is going to necessarily be consumed by darkness, but I think he may be driven to insanity from torture, and temptations from the dark side, running around his imprisonment talking to himself, similar to when we first rediscovered Maul. Just my theory

My idea why Ezra managed to overcome the dark side rather then Anakin is Ezra had a better community where Anakin really only had Palpatine and Padme for support ( obi wan was more of a master then friend) where Ezra had Kanin, Hera, Zeb and Sabine to give him support

Ezra would be an amazing gray Jedi. A true balance between light and dark. It would be awesome if he ended up learning vaapad.

Do you think when Ezra bridger comes back he’ll be even more powerful than ever

I am really hardcore believer that the jedi purge actually strengthened the jedi, as cruel as it was, I believ that with more combat experience, and the fact that the jedi always have to have the survival mindset everywhere they go, with the empire roaming about everywhere they go, I truly believe this is one of the solefactors that the purge actually strenthened the jedi

Ezra's gonna be Mace Windu 2.0. That's my theory

I don't know about Ezra Bridger joining a Force Order or Creating his own. He is a Rogue Anomaly given his teachings in the Light Side and his natural connection of the Dark Side. It is rather interesting what Ezra paths would be or speculate if he followed Jedi path or the path of the Sith. Probably alternative universes or ideas of Ezra being trained by Yoda or Palpatine would be great to see and how Ezra Bridge develop his own style in either the Sith or Jedi.

LOL...I'm waiting for them to come back and say, Ezra is secretly a Palpatine, and everyone secretly knew it but chose to train him anyway cause....sequels gotta sequel.

Ezra is going something like Mace windu. Light and dark. Balanced. Use the dark sides for combat and light sides for love, peace, and harmony.

Great video, really explores the fine line between the light and dark sides. I always saw Ezra as the reverse of Starkiller, all powerful. While starring out completely devoted to one side of the force and through experiences drawing out the benefit of the other-side’s draw.

Ezra might have the most potential in the force besides Luke and Anakin wouldn't be suprised if he's the most powerful force user besides luke

My favourite Star Wars character, can’t wait to see him in live action. 👍🏻🙌🏼

I wonder how powerful Ezra would’ve been had he completed his training by a more experienced teacher

I think that Ezra should be the final hidden sith that only reveals himself when all other obstacles are out of his way and the heroes think they have won. 🤔

Ezra is not at strong in the force as Starkiller. Starkiller slowed the descent of an imperial star destroyer. The only use of force grip/levitation that surpasses this feat is when an Anakin seized the Sister(embodiment of the light side of the force)and the Son(embodiment of the dark side) and forced them to their knees. Ezra may be strong in the force but he is no anakin or Starkiller.

why is he so strong dark side... Easy he's a teenager, their nothing but a mass of unstable emotional impulses. The Dark side loves, that type of dopamine hit. XD

Maybe Ezra is the new dark mortis entity? With Ashoka emodying the light, and Anakin the father.

It seems Ezra would’ve been a valuable asset to any force, wielding organization. The jet I have of her would’ve likely tried to kill him out of fear, especially mace and other members of the council, with the exception of two Kenobi and Yoda. Anakin/Vader in many circumstances may have actually try to exploit until Vader tries to kill him once Ezra ceased to be useful. Good night sister’s would’ve been greatly fascinated. I feel like even Mandalorians would’ve been intrigued to some extent, considering Ezra‘s mentality is similar to theirs.

If Ezra was written to turn to the dark side, I would have preferred this all happen back when Maul was alive so he could have become his master for most of his training, up until Maul's death by Obi-Wan (pushed to later in the timeline to accommodate), basically Ezra becoming Maul's only true apprentice - I dont count Savage. Then perhaps Ezra could have had some type of redemption ark back towards a middle ground between the light and dark sides of the force where he combines what he learned from Kanan and Maul and sets his own path forward. But it's too late for that, missed opportunity in my opinion. I really just want more old Maul and Ezra time, their interactions were fascinating to me.

I think Ezra will still be with the light side because he let go of everything he doesn’t want to lose

Wrong, he has a deep connection to the force, the reason he taps to dark is because all about instincts but only because the situations he was in were kill or die, only thru Kanan training he learned to look outside the box. He was neutral yet decides to be a Jedi like his adoptive father and mentor Kanan.

I do believe ezra deep down loved sabine even though they never became a couple

I think Ezra would be more likely to become a gray jedi or something like that. Just using the force and letting it guide him

Mmm, NOPE! ''Revenge of the Sith'', ''Return of the Jedi'', and the Clone Wars series have shown us, the viewer, a glimpse as to how powerful ol' Palps IS. I will change my mind, though, if Ezra can legitimately wipe the floor with Darth Syphilis! 😏

Ezra is naturally good and Sabine, Hera and Ahsoka love him like family and will anchor him in the light.

Hello. What if Ezra has to stay on the planet. To keep the evil at bay. He won't go home with Sabine. Good luck.

I just HOPE they introduce different non jedi force users where ezra and thrawn are

Ezra Bridger & Cal Kestis are MUCH alike..

Day 233 of asking for a part 3 of what if anakin was trained by qui gon

He is the Bendu. The one in between.

I feel the same for cal like next time we see him he should damn near be a dark side user

Do we know whos sith-holocron it is that ezra used? I dont remember

Jar Jar was strong in the dark side too...

I can see Ezra perhaps mastering a balance in the Force similar to Mace Windu's, and should he grow to be an old man, having a point of view not unlike Bendu.

#SPOILERS### * * * * * * * RIP Who is Marrok theory videos

Personally, I agree that he’s drawn to the dark, but hope that he might find a perfect balance between the light and dark (like Mace Windu), or even outright reject and dominate its control over him (like Yoda in CW s6). No force user is ever truly free of the darkness, and rather than suppress it, I believe that finding true balance, or taking the darkness within by the throat and telling them “No!” Or “You don’t dictate my path. I dictate your existence!” Would be the only true way to find peace. We’ve all made mistakes, hiding them, or running from them doesn’t help at all. If Ezra figures that out, I believe he could become even more powerful and wise than Anakin, Luke, and Yoda ever were. And if that’s not enough, the purple lightsaber ticks the Sith off the most because it means that they can wield both light and dark without losing themselves to it, and on top of that, how cool would it be to see Ezra with a purple lightsaber?!!!!!

Its possible that Ezra might be changed for the worse when he's finally found. Or he could be a much the same. Or it's possible that he might be dead thanks to Thrawn. It's going to be some weeks before we know the truth.

What if he comes back with both and has a gray lightsaber?😂

When Rush Clovis started kissing Padme. Anakin Skywalker turned to dark side and started beating up Rush Clovis. I think Anakin and Ezra have the same dark side power. Kanan Jarrus teach Ezra not to tap into the dark side when Kanan found out Ezra been using the Sith Holocron and tells Ezra taping into the dark side may resolve a trap and Kanan takes away the Sith Holocron but Obi-Wan didn't teach Anakin not use the dark side. I never seen Obi-Wan stop Anakin when Anakin turn to the dark side in Star Wars The Clone Wars from all the scene Anakin tap into the dark side. When Ezra turn to the dark turn and help Maul I thought Ezra will become Starkiiler in star Wars Rebels.

I hope that Ezra turned to the dark side and a full pledged Sith. I want to see Sabine's face when he realized that Ezra changed for the worse. 😂

Let's be logical here. If the young force sensitive the jedi refuse to train are left to their own devices. Wouldn't they just be picked up and tempted by the dark side resulting in rampant sith and dark jedi? Like these people have the innate advantage of being a force wielder. A person's natural inclination thusly is survival and to press ones advantages in life to make it in life. So wouldn't you often end up with people that would normally be Jedi turn to the dark side given what little support they have in training or discipline or principle? The jedi order are just creating their own enemies.

It's so funny that people care so much about this guessing game of star wars, That people are making money off of this guessing crap on RU-vid.. Like everyone is all worried about Anakin's saber.. LMAO it doesn't matter which one it is...

I'd say any teen that lost their parents and has anger inside would be just as drawn to the dark side.

I have a theory. Could Ezra have been driven insane by thrawn and could he be the canon adaptation of jorus c'baoth? I think it's unlikely, but would be very cool

Please. Everyone is naturally drawn to the dark side. Why would you not be? It's quicker, easier and the consequences aren't obvious until later. You'd have to be a real Yoda to go "no, I want to do this the slow and awkward way"

I think they ruined it by not going into what Ezra was doing during the time gap since we know from what combat scenes we saw his skills improved in the Force and it could be a good guess he also found whatever it was Baylin was looking for and used it for training but this all depends on if they go into any flashbacks during whatever the next project is.

Ezra is a better jedi than most master jedi now ! is strength lie on bound with nature making him neutral in nature he able to communicate with most animal and entity like bendu as a teen he was taught by maul, kanaan, learn to fight with a mandalorian. was one of the best spy (not an ambassador a full spy) survive VADER that slay most jedi like butter ! was able to go in the world between world (and save ahsoka ! ) he beat trawn that a rare feat !

So in the next Cal Kestis game, we need Cal, Starkiller and Ezra to meet up as all of them have tasted the Dark side and chose the light anyway.

Ezra was seven years old when his parents were taken by the Empire and he had to fend for himself for another seven years.

Anyone ever though why can't Ezra just do both, both sides of the force has different aspects and learning to balance between both is the true way of become a force wielder in my opinion 🤔

I want Ezra to be a Jedi. However, I'll admit that part of me wants to see how powerful of a Sith he would be.

Ezra is some mentally challenged jedi who lived in a distant planet with thrawn and was happy to see sabine. That´s it. That´s all there is to it. I was truly expecting more but it seems i was mistaken.

Ezra is the other that Yoda speaks of, he was born on empire Day the same day that Luke and Leia were born on. He was raised the same way Anakin was. He was attracted to the dark side and he conquered it. Ezra is the shit respect him. There is a reason Yoda connected with him more than any other Jedi after his death. Also, obi wan knew of him

The Dark Side is more powerful but it's clear that it doesn't overwhelm him.

I hope Ezra shows up as a sith lord 😁

this is 12 at night typing what if he so powerful even the dark side cant control him he learnt how to use the dark side but block out the voice and feeling to go crazy ?

Imagine If They Did Got Murdered Right In Front of Him

THIS IS OUTRAGEOUS

The emotional connection to the dark side and how children align with it, Naruto applied this concept to the Uchiha.

In the past, there was no darkside and lightside. There was just the force. The users used the full force. People decided eventually how they wanted to use the force. I feel that Ezra will become like the Bendu, someone in the middle. The user of the full force, both light and darkside. But because of his history with the ghost and Kanan not become a full darkside user

I tink ezra sould embrace dark side he hes affinty for it

If Ezra was a sith then his name would be Darth loth because it's lothal so Darth loth

Anakin is the new father. Ahsoka is the sister and Ezra the brother

This is relevant to the ahsoka tv programme

maybe ezra return as some kind of gary jedi.

I don't think Ezra will go evil the way Anakin (or anybody else) did. I think he will stay as a "jedi" (at worst) or even acknowledge that there is use in both light and dark.

When you were talking about sixth being born from loss, wasn’t Ezra born on order 66?

he is gray for with out the gray there can be no balance

Join us, Ezra, It is your destiny.

Ezra is going to be the cannon Kyle katarn

I pretty much disagree with all the tanks i've seen here. Ezra is strong in the Force, that is apparent. But I don't believe people have natural affinity for one side or the other. I think its the environment that affects this. Its Ezra's strength in the Force that allowed him greater ease to access abilities. As it did for Anakin. Now, I do believe that each Force User has a natural affinity for certain abilities within the Force, but not for either side. Take Satele Shan, she was strong in the Force, but had a natural affinity for Energy Absorption. Allowing her to save her own life when facing off against Malgus when she was disarmed. Quin-Lin Voss, had a natural affinity for Psychometry, that was bolstered by his Race having a genetic aptitude for it. Nomi Sunrider had a natural affinity for Battle Mediation, and once she was fully trained, any Forces she bolstered were nigh near unbeatable. Jedi Master Knol Ven'nari was a bothan Jedi that could manipulate fire like no Jedi before her. Keiran Halcyon was a jedi of Luke's Academy that potentially was stronger at energy absorption than even Master Shan.

Would rather see Kyp Durron

I mean, he was originally ment to be snoke before the emporer retcon post TLJ. He was never fully dark, though, just the counter to Luke

NNNNNNOOOOOOO

All the expectations will be shattered and let down as new star wars does not focus on male characters. If anything to go by plot leaks, Ezra's character is not going to have much.

I think Ezra will be known as a Gray Jedi, neither Dark nor Light, but in-between. Saved you over 12 minutes. The term has also been applied to Force-sensitives who aren’t affiliated with the Light or Dark side of the Force. Quite literally, these Gray Jedi don’t see things in black and white, or light versus dark. Instead, they find a state of balance by utilizing the light and dark sides of the Force.

Likelihood that Ezra has joined Thrawn and has been using his potent telepathy to manipulate other force-adepts into hatching a rescue plan to unwittingly bring them both back to the galaxy?

Can someone tell me why this character is supposedly really good? And by using shit from the show and not speculation and stuff.

Ezra is a Child of the Force After the destruction of the Jedi, and the Dark dominance of the Sith, the Force allowed a new generation of potentially powerful Force Wielders, each with potential to be powerful Jedi if trained The Sith made sure to either kill them, or alienate their chances to be trained by Jedi Ezra was one of the few to have been trained They’re not Chosen Ones, but still strong enough to chance the tide especially if they join together as Jedi With powerful Light comes powerful Darkness as they have the potential to be powerful assets to the Dark Side if turned Ezra who lost so much had reason to be tied to fear and anger, making him tied to the Dark Side and would been a force to be reckoned with if turned Also he seems to be connected to Lothal as he became the key to access the Mortis Realm, as if he was the bridge between this world and the next

I'm glad someone agrees with me! If he is Sith or at the very least "not a good guy", I can see the potential of a good story arc. Maybe a Kylo Ren commonality, redemption and all but better.

My head Cannon is the sith holocron is Krea from Kotor 2, As it teached Him willingly but but also teaching with choices/outcomes.

Hey Wave you ever heard of Billy Carson he talked about Old Ancient Texts of Being call the Djebi they had there 3eye open and had this power this to to our real Life

I am hoping the Bendu was the foreshadow for Ezera being a gray not jedi or sith like nature. If you look at it from a broader since. Vader was at a time when the force is split to its farthest point. Out of balance point to the dark. With Vader gone, it comes back to balance and you would see a more grey influence on the age. The cycle has begun anew.

It'd be interesting if they made Ezra sort of like Kyp Durron but less stupid.

Isn't he the descendant of revan

Well, in general power always comes with a price like the bendu said. The question is, what are you willing to pay, to sacrifice?

So Ezra and Thrawn have been together all this time maybe Ezra has turned Thrawn to the light side and they’ve actually become close friends. Spend enough time with someone and you start to see their point of view.

Everyone knows that the Dark Side is far superior to the light , they even have cookies and shit . Plus , a Crimson Blade looks a lot cooler.
