“I’ll wash my hands and thank God”: Ahsoka Star Thinks of Himself as Harrison Ford when Wanting More from His Star Wars Character
Star Wars enthusiasts and dedicated followers of Ahsoka were captivated by Eman Esfandi’s portrayal of the beloved character Ezra Bridger from Rebels. After an extended absence from the cosmic expanse, Star Wars: Ahsoka reintroduced Ezra Bridger, reuniting him with his former comrades and unveiling a wealth of potential narratives yet to be explored.
However, While expressing his perspective that Ezra’s story doesn’t necessarily have to be a permanent fixture in the Star Wars universe, the lead actor of Ahsoka imagines himself following in the footsteps of the iconic Harrison Ford. This notion adds an intriguing depth to his bond with the franchise. As Dave Filoni meticulously develops upcoming projects within the Star Wars domain, Esfandi eagerly shared his ambitions regarding this expansive narrative canvas, igniting curiosity and anticipation among fans.
Eman Esfandi’s Take on Ezra Bridger’s Possible Exit from Star Wars
The talented actor embodying the character of Ezra Bridger in Star Wars: Ahsoka, Eman Esfandi, recently sparked speculation about the potential return of his character within the expansive Star Wars universe following his appearance in the first season. Expressing a keen desire for further involvement in Dave Filoni’s forthcoming endeavors, Esfandi’s enthusiasm for the opportunity was palpable.
However, he candidly acknowledged the possibility that if Bridger’s narrative concludes within Filoni’s movie, he would gracefully accept the character stepping out of the limelight. Esfandi told The Hollywood Reporter,
“I’m like Harrison Ford in that way where I don’t need Ezra’s story to just live forever. I’d rather his story be concluded in the most appropriate way for his character. So if it ends at the movie, I’ll wash my hands and thank God and move on.”
In a moment of vulnerability, the actor hinted at the potential for Ezra to make a sacrificial exit within the upcoming movie, suggesting that this might signify the conclusion of Bridger’s journey. Esfandi’s perspective underscores the importance of honoring the depth and significance of Ezra Bridger’s narrative within the larger Star Wars tapestry, ensuring a conclusion that feels true and resonant to fans invested in the character’s journey.

As Dave Filoni delves into the development of a movie set within The New Republic era, the confirmation of Ahsoka‘s Season 2 remains pending. Yet, actor Eman Esfandi has recently shared his perspective on the potential return of his character, Ezra Bridger, expressing hope that this marks only the commencement of his journey in the franchise. While professionally these upcoming projects hold immense promise for him, he feels a profound alignment story-wise with the utilization of Ezra’s character.
Despite the absence of a confirmed release date for Filoni’s New Republic film, slated to intertwine the narratives of The Mandalorian, Star Wars: Ahsoka, Star Wars: The Book of Boba Fett, and Star Wars: Skeleton Crew, Esfandi acknowledges his immense gratitude even if a second season of Ahsoka were to materialize. He humbly asserts that he wouldn’t require more than that. Esfandi told The Hollywood Reporeter,
“Including a potential Season 2 and the film, I think I’ll be very involved. From everything I’ve learned about Star Wars and what’s canon at the moment and the way Dave and everyone seems to be writing and moving forward, I think Ezra plays a very pivotal role, which is exciting.”
However, following a potential Season 2 of Ahsoka and the movie, the actor openly questions his commitment to portraying Ezra. Despite this, he maintains an open-minded stance towards future opportunities, displaying a keen enthusiasm for additional involvement in forthcoming installments if they come to fruition.
