https://youtu.be/Z8U4Rq7eAW0 Check out the 25th episode of The Sackhoff Show (formerly BlahBlahBlah with Katee Sackhoff), where Katee sits down with friends and colleagues to informally chat about their lives and careers. On this episode, Katee chats with Eman Esfandi about his journey through life and how he got the role of Ezra Bridger in season one of Ahsoka. Hi everyone! I am so excited today because I am talking to Ezra Bridger himself from Ahsoka, aka Eman Esfandi! You guys, Eman is so sweet and genuine. We dive into everything from how spirituality plays a huge role in his life, to the wild story of how Ezra quite literally found him. Eman talks about growing up with immigrant parents, pivoting from tennis dreams to acting, and how he almost quit the industry before landing in the Star Wars universe. Plus, we get into his music career as DragonWulf and how following his joy helped him manifest all the great things that have happened to him. I love this episode so much. Eman is so honest and has lived a lot of lives at only 27 years old. You’re going to love it. Remember to stick around to the hindsight where my producer Jeph and I discuss the episode and try not to get me canceled. We also respond to your comments and emails in the Mail Sack!

Great news for Midlands based fans of The Mandalorian and Ahsoka, as Starfury Events announce that both Morgan Elsbeth and Ezra Bridger - aka actors Diana Lee Inosanto and Eman Esfandi - are coming to Starfury: Invasion 2024 over the weekend of 28th - 30th June 2024 at the Hilton Metropole Hotel in Birmingham. https://twitter.com/starfuryevents/status/1745901844067426312 https://twitter.com/starfuryevents/status/1745904579538010533 [amazon box="B0C7P7X635"]

No news on that second season of Ahsoka, or whether or not the now not-so-young Ezra Bridger will be around for the movie that looks set to bring all of the Mandoverse characters together on the silver screen, but should Ezra still be alive and thriving for either event - and they really will be major events on the Star Wars timeline - then actor Eman Esfandi is confident that both he and his character will be very much involved. THR: Dave Filoni was recently promoted to chief creative officer at Lucasfilm, and considering that he helped cast you, you’re in a very desirable position moving forward. We know he’s making a movie at some point that will conclude this current Disney+ story. Ahsoka season two, while unofficial, also feels like a foregone conclusion. But do you have some inkling that your tenure will extend beyond both of those potential stories? EA: Including a potential season two 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. As a human, you’re like, “I get to act! I get to do the thing that I like. I’ll have a job,” but story-wise, it feels correct. It feels like, “Yeah, they should use him. He’d be a really good person to use for this or for that.” After that, I actually don’t know. I don’t know if there’s anywhere else Ezra could live across the universe. Maybe he sacrifices himself again in the movie, and then he is done for. I don’t know. If I do a second season, I’ll be happy. If we also do a movie, I’ll be so happy, and I would never need more than that. 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. I also don’t know how I’d feel after doing a potential season two and a movie. I don’t know if I’ll be like, “I want to keep doing Ezra,” and if that’s the case, then maybe I do. I just won’t know yet until I get there. But for these next installments, I will have a very strong presence in those if they happen. [amazon box="1647226449"]

StarWars.com take the opportunity to sit down with two of the stars of Ahsoka, Eman Esfandi and Diana Lee Inosanto, to discuss their characters and their fates in the latest hit seriers on Disney Plus. First, Diana looks at her journey with martial arts, a key component of her role as Morgan Elsbeth. Lightsaber training Inosanto’s love for Star Wars and its place on her journey as a martial artist dates back to the first film’s release. “Star Wars was one of those things that I got to bond with my dad [Dan Inosanto] about,” she says. As a child, Inosanto would travel with her father as he conducted international martial arts seminars. During a stop in Aspen, Colorado, the two saw A New Hope for the first time in theaters. “And it was incredible...that kind of energy was like a rock concert.” Her father was particularly enamored with the lightsaber combat. Months later, he returned home one day with two extendable plastic lightsabers. “He goes, ‘Come on, honey! Let's work out.’ And so that's how he was training me in martial arts.” When Inosanto grew up and became a mother herself, she introduced her children to the galaxy. “My oldest son has autism and for whatever reason he really gravitated toward the whole Star Wars universe,” she says. “I loved sitting down and watching The Clone Wars and later on Rebels. They're almost like modern-day Aesop’s Fables. There's always some cool life lesson. And I think it's even more amazing that, down the road when I would be asked to audition for Mandalorian, in the beginning, it was my son that I would read lines [with to prepare].” Becoming Ezra Fans and co-stars alike frequently comment on how much Esfandi is like his character in the series. To embody Ezra Bridger, the actor studied up as if Bridger and his family were real historical figures. “I did not watch Rebels ad nauseam because I didn't want to get too much of the younger version of the character locked into my body,” he says. “But I watched key episodes that Dave recommended so I could understand the relationship between Ahsoka and Sabine and the rest of his crew. And I also researched Ezra like a public figure. I read all these articles… and then watched a ton of videos on YouTube about the Force, and interviews with George [Lucas] and interviews with Dave. I inundated myself with all things Star Wars to understand the tone and the idea of the show.” [amazon box="0593598636"]
