The episode opening with Huyang telling Ahsoka that maybe, for Sabine, there was no other choice than the one she made is so important to me because it was Sabine more than anyone who let Ezra go. She saw what he planned to do—what he needed to do—and helped him. And he did it knowing he could count on her to bring him back. Any other choice than doing whatever it took to save Ezra would have gone against who Sabine fundamentally is, who we see her be throughout Rebels: someone who refuses to leave her family behind.

During Rebels
Ezra: Did you know a clone named Echo?
Rex: I did. He's been gone a long time.
Echo on the comms (at Omega's birthday): Quit tellin' everyone I'm dead!!
Rex, turning the comms off: Sometimes I can still hear his voice

I’m here to end the age old question of “is Ezra’s hair blue or black”….
It’s blue-
And before you say anything- I have proof! First of all, we’ve seen Black hair in the show before, so it can’t because “it’s just how its animated” or “shading”
Look at Sabine’s hair here compara to Ezra’s. Her hair is black (dyed but-) and it looks nothing like Ezra’s! Ezra’s hair is a dark navy blue. But I have more proof!
Look at this photo of him and his parents. Does that look like black hair to you? If anything is lighter, so I’m guessing it darken as he grew older kinda like how blond hair sometimes darken into brown. But! My final prove it this!
Sabine literally painted him with Blue hair- and it can’t be “she doesn’t have the correct paint color” because she definitely does.
Case close people, Ezra Bridger has blue hair. His a blueberry

The expectation of finding Ezra and Thrawn:
“I have foreseen the events that are happening and our rescue by Sabine Wren. As Grand Admiral Thrawn and I prepare to return to our people, we sipped martinis in the wilderness of this planet.”
Reality:
“Yeahhhh… so apparently Thrawn is kinda pissed at me for taking him on a one way trip to a dark magic planet. Also I never really knew we were going to another galaxy so….. I just knew you’d come and bring me home <3 :)”

Today’s thoughts are about Rebels and the theme of home, and more specifically about Ezra Bridger.
One thing I love about Rebels is how each of the characters has their own reasons for choosing to fight the Empire—Hera grew up in this fight, Zeb is responding to his past inability to protect his people, Sabine is trying to make amends for her past decisions, and Kanan is just trying to survive after Order 66, figuring out what it means to be a Jedi. They’ve all had to, in some way, leave their people behind to pursue this fight, and that’s where we are when we meet them—when Ezra meets them.
And the thing about Ezra is that he doesn’t want the fight. He doesn’t want to join the rebellion, he wants to fix his home. But, when he gets dragged off anyway, he hears about the wookies being taken from their home, and it resonates with him; and because Ezra is, at his core, a good person, he helps them—and then he can’t stop himself from helping, and with his new family by his side, he doesn’t want to.
During the show, each of those characters faces reckonings with their past, not just once, but repeatedly. Not only does Zeb help the Lasats they meet, he is constantly coming encountering Kallus, who puts a face to the loss of his people. Hera has to work with her father, and then Thrawn steals her Kalikori. Sabine has to fight against her people, and then fights for them. And Kanan trains Ezra, immersing himself back into that life he had to run from, in many ways, with Order 66. In episodes one and two, the troops are shocked to see a Jedi, but he and Ezra slowly become well-known—he stops hiding.
In the midst of all of his family reencountering their homes is Ezra, refusing to leave his behind. Ezra never falters in his commitment to Lothal, and to its people. It’s Ezra who saves the governor, it’s his voice that gives the people hope, it’s him who pushes for the rebellion to act. He never gives up on it, never loses sight of his home, and I think that’s a big part of what draws the others back to their own homes.
By the time you reach the final moments of the battle on Lothal, Ezra has made peace with his decisions. He’s resisted the pull of the dark side, overcome the devastation of losing a master, and even denied Palpatine’s temptation for him to be reunited with his parents. In the rebellion, Ezra has grown into something more than he was before, and this time he chooses to rebel, and to do it in the name of Lothal. And he does it by using the force, not to fight, but to flee—except now, he’s not running from something out of fear, but out of determination. This time, Ezra makes the choice to leave his home behind, so that he can make the galaxy a better place for its people.
And his final message to Sabine was that he was counting on her. He didn’t say what for, but he didn’t have to, because she knew. He was counting on her to bring him back to his home, just like he helped bring the rest of them back to theirs.
Ezra Bridger is the heart of Rebels in so many ways, but this is and will probably always be my favorite.
