Right, so, to illustrate my point as succinctly as I can...

This is attachment:

Ezra leaning hard into the Dark Side, grasping for just a shred more power, more control, in order to prevent anything bad from ever possibly happening to his friends again, out of the guilt and self-blame he feels, and want to spare himself from.

Ezra treating said friends like objects he personally has to keep in his possession, under his control, because he’s afraid to lose them and he doesn’t trust them to make the correct decisions.

Ezra tempted to literally change reality for a chance to have Kanan and his parents back.

This:

...is not attachment.

Relationships are not attachment. The inability to let go and accept loss is attachment. Please, please I am begging you, look up Lucas’s own comments about how and why Anakin fell in the Prequel Trilogy, “attachment” has a very specific definition when it comes to Jedi and How The Force Works 101.

Bonus:

Ezra demonstrating how you overcome attachment; by accepting the loss, acknowledging that it happened, allowing yourself to feel and process that guilt and grief and sadness, and then letting go to find internal balance and serenity.
