While Esfandi himself had wrap film , he stuck around to support his fellow plaster bandage and watch the project ’s innovation , leading him into conversation with Christensen . Afterward , Esfandi was awestruck by Christensen ’s performance as Anakin , though the tardy hours of the nighttime caused Esfandi to consider himself " a littledelirious " at that time .

So [ Christensen and I ] were blab , and then I go to the monitor and I watch them shoot this scene . Watching them shoot the scene , that ’s when it dawned on me , like … oh yeah , that ’s Anakin . To me , it was Hayden , that ’s how I touch him . Then I saw him on that hill , and the whole scene is so mystical and so , you have it away , such a moment . I was like , whoa .

Ezra Bridger & Anakin Skywalker Would Have Made A Perfect Duo

The DOE that Ezra has capsule ever since his original debut in the animatedStar Wars Rebelsseries is very like to that of Anakin himself . The two are characters who are very powerful in their own right , and they both are n’t afraid to either let the cat out of the bag or push their elbow room out of thing . Much of the witticism Esfandi ’s Ezra has expose already feel like something straight out of Anakin in the animatedStar Wars : The Clone Warsseries , and if the two fictitious character live at the same meter intheStar Warstimeline , there ’s no question they would have made a potent and uproarious duo .

Now , however , the two can only meet and interact via the Force - though Anakin get out much of his same wag withhis former Padawan , Ahsoka Tano . Ahsoka , then , can match Ezra ’s wit nicelyinAhsokaseason 2 and beyond . The couplet already have wondrous chemistry , and since the next chapter ofAhsokais at last in ontogeny , the two will hopefully have a chance to run into again and show the audience exactly how strong and comedic their dynamic is .
