Eman Esfandi shared his story of manifesting the role of Ezra Bridger in the "Star Wars" universe, revealing his path to join the cast of the series "Ahsoka," which includes stars like Rosario Dawson and Natasha Liu Bordizzo. Despite not being a "Star Wars person," Esfandi reached out to his agents six months prior to casting, confident he'd play Ezra – a character from the animated series "Star Wars Rebels" crucial for the build-up of the Rebel Alliance with potential future appearances. Even with a name change to "Riz" for casting secrecy, Esfandi's one-take self-tape showcased his embodiment of the character. While Lucasfilm hasn't confirmed a second season of "Ahsoka," speculation and fan theories about its future and possible crossover events are circulating.

What is "Star Wars: Ahsoka" about?

"Star Wars: Ahsoka" is a series that continues the story of Ahsoka Tano, a character first introduced in "Star Wars: The Clone Wars" animated series. Taking place after the events of "Star Wars: Rebels," the show follows Ahsoka's journey between "Star Wars" trilogies, exploring her role in building the Rebel Alliance and fighting against the Empire.

"Star Wars: Ahsoka," which is set to contribute to the expanding "Star Wars" live-action television universe, follows the success of "The Mandalorian." Ahsoka Tano, played by Rosario Dawson, appeared in "The Mandalorian" before it was announced that she'd lead her own series. This further connects the dots between the animated series "Star Wars: Rebels," where Ahsoka had a significant role, and the ongoing live-action storylines. Fan excitement remains high as they anticipate how "Ahsoka" will weave into the larger narrative and potentially lead to a renewed exploration of characters like Ezra Bridger in the live-action setting.
