Ezra Bridgeractor Eman Esfandi just admitted he purposefully avoided watching all ofStar Wars: Rebelsahead of his time filmingAhsoka.
Even Mary Elizabeth Winstead confirmedshe watched all of Heras previous appearancesbefore becoming the fan-favorite Star Wars general.
I didn’t want to get too caught up in the younger version of Ezra.
I felt very connected to an older version the way he was written."
And just to understand that dynamic.
So I was inundated with a lot of it."
Because Dave [Filoni], and everyone else who was directing me were so like, reaffirming.
Like, ‘no, yeah, that’s Ezra.
Oh, that’s also so Ezra.
And we’d be backstage, that’s Ezra.
I was like, okay, so then I think we’re good.
Like, I’ll watch it later.
So I didn’t actually do the immersion thing until all the way after shooting."
Unsurprisingly, audiences were not the biggest fan of the villains live-action adaptation.
