Ezra Bridger
Ezra Bridger was born in 19 BBY.
Ezra Bridger is remembered as the street-smart orphan who became a Jedi Padawan and one of the early rebellion's most important young leaders. He was born on the first Empire Day. His parents were arrested for their anti-Imperial broadcasts, and from about the age of seven he lived alone as a thief and con artist. In 5 BBY he fell in with the rebel crew of the Ghost, and Kanan Jarrus took him on as an apprentice. He built his own lightsaber from a kyber crystal he received in the Lothal Jedi Temple, and his broadcast of defiance helped bring scattered rebel cells together. Learning that his parents had died in an Imperial prison pushed him toward the dark side, which peaked on Malachor, where he opened a Sith holocron alongside Maul and Kanan was blinded. He came back from the edge, went on to lead missions of his own, helped Rex's droid veterans end their war, and set out to find Obi-Wan Kenobi. After Kanan died, Ezra led the liberation of Lothal in 1 BBY. He called a pod of purrgil to drag Grand Admiral Thrawn's fleet into hyperspace, and he was carried off with it. For almost a decade he was stranded on Peridea in another galaxy. There Sabine Wren and Ahsoka Tano found him, and he got home aboard Thrawn's own flagship.
