10 More Star Wars Moments IMPOSSIBLE To Watch The Same After This

5. Eman Esfandi Was Just As Unaware As Ezra In One Moment - Ahsoka

After being blasted off screens at the end of the Rebels animated series, Ezra Bridger made his long-awaited live-action debut (along with a number of his fellow Spectres) in Disney+'s Ahsoka.

But with Kanan Jarrus' Padawan being away from the galaxy far, far away for quite some time since fans last saw him in that animated show, his old pal Sabine Wren was on hand to get him up to date on all the events he missed in "Part Seven: Dreams and Madness".

Funnily enough, though, Ezra actor Eman Esfandi didn't actually need to do too much acting for this moment.

As the star would later reveal to THR, he wasn't the biggest Star Wars fan before taking on the role. He'd later go on to fully immerse himself in the franchise after he finished shooting, but as he put it himself, "...when Sabine was filling Ezra in, I also didn’t know much about it."

Once Esfandi realised that this was the way Bridger learned about everything from the fall of the Empire, to the Emperor "dying", to the New Republic for the first time, he couldn't help but find it a bit hilarious.

So, the next time you watch this part of the Ahsoka adventure, just know that Esfandi legitimately didn't know all that much about the galaxy's recent history either.
