Lucasfilm Casts Eman Esfandi as Ezra Bridger in The STAR WARS Series AHSOKA
Lucasfilm has officially cast an actor to take on the role of Ezra Bridger in the upcoming Star Wars series Ahsoka. The live-action version of the popular character from Star Wars: Rebels will be played by Eman Esfandi. I’m not really familiar with the actor, but as you can see, he definitely looks the part!
Esfandi has appeared in the Robert Rodriguez horror film Red 11, and he had a small role in King Richard. He also appears in the upcoming military drama The Inspection.
The story follows Ahsoka (Rosario Dawson) and Sabine (Natasha Liu Bordizzo) as they hunt for Grand Admiral Thrawn in hopes that it will lead them to find the lost Ezra Bridger, the young Jedi who disappeared with Thrawn many years ago.
Dave Filoni previously said of the series: "Ahsoka is a continuous story. It is definitely driving toward a goal, in my mind, as opposed to being little singular adventures. That's what I want the character to be doing, and I think that's what fans want now. They have such a relationship with her. I've only recently started to understand that all those kids that watched Clone Wars are now a lot older – they're very excited about all the things they grew up with, as they should be."
Ahsoka is set to drop on Disney+ in 2023. What do you think about the casting of Ezra?
