Star Wars’ Ezra Bridger Actor Shows Off Lightsaber Preparation For Ahsoka Season 2

by

It appears that actor Eman Esfandi, known for portraying the Star Wars character Ezra Bridger in live-action, seems to be readying himself for some thrilling lightsaber sequences in the upcoming Season 2 of Ahsoka. In Season 1 of the Disney+ series, Esfandi made his entrance as an older version of the beloved Jedi from Star Wars Rebels, following years spent with the malevolent Grand Admiral Thrawn in another galaxy. Unlike some other cast members who were stranded in this mysterious galaxy, Esfandi’s character found a way off-world and reunited with Mary Elizabeth Winstead’s Hera Syndulla, setting the stage for what promises to be a gripping second season of Ahsoka.

Esfandi’s enthusiasm for Season 2 of his Star Wars series has been contagious on the web. During filming, the actor has given fans a sneak peek at Ahsoka, revealing his character’s fresh, tidy appearance. However, his most recent social media post might be the most thrilling yet, as he displays some lightsaber training he appears to be doing for the 2026 Disney+ series.

In a fresh Instagram clip, actor Eman Esfandi showcased his lightsaber techniques while working on the second season of “Ahsoka”.

The video captures the Star Wars actor wielding a blue lightsaber on a balcony impressively. With powerful swings and spins that seem to leap off the screen, Esfandi portrays an authentic Jedi Master, reminiscent of his Ahsoka character in real life.

It’s uncertain if this training is specifically intended for a certain Ahsoka Season 2 scene, but considering the intricate nature of the choreography, it appears to be practice for the second season of the show.

Watch the full video below:

In Ahsoka Season 1, it was noticeable that Esfandi’s character didn’t engage in lightsaber combat, unlike what fans might expect from a Star Wars character. Instead, Ezra Bridger demonstrated his Jedi abilities by confronting adversaries using only the Force.

Throughout the course of Star Wars Rebels series, Ezra has used two distinct lightsabers. Initially, he employed a unique weapon that combined both blade and blaster functions. Later on in the series, he switched to a more traditional green-bladed saber for the remaining seasons. Interestingly, this same saber was utilized by Sabine Wren during her training sessions in Ahsoka’s first season.

The production of Ahsoka Season 2 is currently underway in the UK. Eman Esfandi will reprise his role as the young Jedi, Ezra Bridger, from Star Wars Rebels in the second season. Esfandi will be joined by Rosario Dawson playing Ahsoka Tano, Natalie Liu Bordizzo portraying Sabine Wren, and Lars Mikkelsen taking on the role of Grand Admiral Thrawn. Season 2 continues the story from where Season 1 ended, with Ahsoka and Sabine stranded in another universe, while Thrawn gathers his forces for a potential conquest in the main Star Wars galaxy.

Ezra Bridger’s Exciting Ahsoka Future

As a movie critic, I must say that my eagerness for Ahsoka Season 2 has been building steadily, fueled by the growing excitement surrounding Eman Esfandi’s role. However, a recent social media post from the enigmatic Ezra Bridger has sent my anticipation soaring to new heights. It seems that this latest video is almost certain to stoke the flames of expectation even higher.

In Season 1, Esfandi was mainly a secondary character, serving as the object of pursuit for Ahsoka (played by Rosario Dawson) and Sabine (portrayed by Natalie Liu Bordizzo). This led to his first appearance being quite late in the series, with the show nearing its end when he made an appearance.

In Season 1, Ezra had some exciting scenes, such as displaying Force abilities to combat sword-fighting villains, but fans only glimpsed Esfandi as a character. However, it seems that Season 2 will significantly expand Esfandi’s role in the series, making him a prominent member of the main cast.

As a passionate movie enthusiast, I must say what truly sets my heart racing is the hint that this fresh training video might mean Ezra will have an expanded role in the upcoming season of Ahsoka, and even more intriguingly, it looks like he’ll be wielding a lightsaber alongside him.

In Season 1, viewers didn’t witness the character wielding a saber. This new development, therefore, signifies a major shift in the direction of the series as it progresses.

Anticipated fans can hardly wait to discover how Ezra regains his lightsaber during the series’ second season, since it was given to Sabine for her Jedi tutelage.

Fans may wonder how the character will acquire a new saber. However, it is essential to recall that at the end of Season 1, droid Huyang gave Esfandi’s Jedi, Kanan Jarrus’ lightsaber.
