We've seen a drastic increase in Ezra's abilities both as a duelist and as a Force-user over the course of Rebels. But how powerful can he become? I mean, from the looks of it, he's already [SPOILER - highlight to read]: choking the Seventh Sister when guided by Maul, and that's probably only the tip of the iceberg. Pretty crazy indeed. What are your thoughts on it?
Hard to say, if he stays in Maul's training into Season 3 (Assuming Maul somehow survives the season, and Ezra genuinely falls) there is no telling how much of his potential will be unlocked

These things and more."
People are getting overexcited, Zannah was Force crushing Jedi at an age younger than Ezra and with no formal training, I don't think he'll end up that powerful if he even lives to see his potential realised.
Good question. I think he will be an average power Jedi. One of the new things about new canon is that they don't introduce super-powered Force users or unbelievably potent force powers. Everyone is exactly the same, except Anakin and Luke. Yoda is only that powerful, because he's had 800 years to practice. Palpatine is that good, because he's studied all "aspects, not just the dogmatic narrow point of the Jedi."
Also. Where is his Force choking the Seventh Sister. I didn't see that in the trailer.
Well, to be honest it depends if he stays on the dark path or turns back to the light (assuming he does actually turn to the dark side by the end of the season).
I mean, he's had less than two years of formal training... from Kanan, and he's shown some extremely impressive feats and has been noted to be growing at a huge rate. There's also the fact he's literally throttling the Seventh Sister with the Force, who has some good Force-feats and is said to be "strong with the dark side", as per SW.com. Taking into account all that definitely hints to some massive potential. At least we can all agree to that
IMO, I think he has more potential than Dooku, but I can't be sure by how much exactly.
His trip to Malachor appears to have something to do with the Knights of Ren in the trailer. (Crossguard Saber) Snoke being the apprentice of an old, wiser, and no-longer-sith Maul makes sense in a really strange way. Oh, and we've already got hints of Ezra's Anakin-Vader worship. Also, Snoke commands a task force uncannily similar to the Inquisitors that Ezra's had to deal with recently. Given that he's also set around the correct timeframe, I think this evidence is good enough to give substance to the REAL proof.
