Now that Grogu has decided to leave Luke Skywalker and end his Jedi training, one thing Star Wars, for instance, but she refused to train Grogu in season 2. However, there is one Jedi whose whereabouts are currently unknown but is rumored to be making an appearance soon: Ezra Bridger.
Ezra Bridger made his debut in The Rebels Ghost Crew was a small group of rebels who were an important part of the fledgling Rebellion, helping people across the galaxy who had been affected by the Empire’s dictatorial rule. While training with Kanan, Ezra became an accomplished Jedi himself, utilizing his abilities in unique ways to help his friends and the people they were trying to save. Across four seasons, Ezra encountered multiple Inquisitors, Maul, and Darth Vader. He was essential in freeing Lothal, his home planet, from the Empire’s tyranny. He even managed to best Grand iral Thrawn, one of the Empire’s most cunning leaders. Ezra is a strong and gifted Jedi, but it is his love for his parents, his loyalty to his friends, and his determination against the Empire that make him such a compelling character, and the perfect Jedi Master for Grogu.
After control Star Wars' Force as a Jedi, and what it means to let those relationships go when it matters most.
But Grogu and Ezra do not only share a want for meaningful relationships. They also share an affinity for a specific Force ability. Taming Beasts is an ability with which its can connect mentally with animals. It is not about controlling a creature, but about understanding and communicating to become partners with that creature. Grogu used this ability in the final episode of The Book of Boba Fett, as he calms down the rancor that was about to attack Din Djarin before ing out from using so much power. Ezra applied this ability many times throughout Star Wars Rebels, connecting with various creatures, some of which would even help him destroy the Star Wars Empire on Lothal. If there is anyone who can teach Grogu to wield this ability without becoming exhausted, it would be Ezra Bridger.
Though Ezra may have never had a Padawan of his own, Rebels shows he is capable of teaching. He helped Kanan teach Sabine Wren how to wield the Darksaber, for example. And, as Luke Skywalker himself states, Grogu isn’t so much learning as he is ing his teachings from his time at the Jedi Temple. Ezra, therefore, would simply be helping Grogu to open himself up to the Force again, rather than shutting himself off. While it is unclear if The Mandalorian season 3 will include a search for a new Jedi Master for Grogu, Ezra Bridger should certainly be considered a solid candidate. Grogu needs someone to show him a different path, one where he doesn’t need to be cut off from the Force to have meaningful relationships, and few would understand that better than Ezra.
