10 Most Underrated Scenes In Star Wars

8. Ezra And Sabine’s Silent Conversation

While Ashoka’s debut season impressed many, the series was even more of an emotional rollercoaster for those familiar with The Clone Wars and Star Wars Rebels, with the search for - and eventual finding of - Ezra Bridger particularly pulling on the heartstrings of Rebels fans.

Of course, Rebels’ finale saw Ezra thrown deep into hyperspace along with Thrawn, as that episode ends with a ‘five years later’ sequence where Sabine and Ahsoka are still desperately trying to find Bridger.

Underrated on a first watch, though, is an early scene in this finale as Ezra decides the only way to defeat Thrawn and Co. is for him to surrender himself to this sinister figure. With the rest of the Ghost crew completely against this plan, we get a fantastic exchange between Sabine and Ezra that doesn’t even feature any words.

Distracting her Ghost pals by huddling them around to discuss an alternative plan, Sabine has opened a ceiling hatch for Ezra to make his sneaky exit through. As the pair exchange knowing glances, there’s a realisation they may never see each other again but that what needs to be done needs to be done.

Making this moment even more impactful, is that Chopper also picks up on what’s happening… and in an extremely rare moment manages to remain silent, knowing that Ezra is thinking of the greater good.
