How Powerful Will Ezra Bridger Become?

IIRC it was said on DragonCon that the fall to the Dark Side was Anakin's story and that they had to come up with something differently for Ezra.

He's more powerful than Kanan already tbh. I hope they decide to do something other than the same old prodigy turning to the darksider go :/

Name a feat that places him above.

Ezra's able to see Yoda because of his growing power yet Kanan's couldn't in Season 1 so that definitely implies Ezra has eclipsed S1 Kanan.

It wasn't because of his power that he was able to see Yoda but because of his connection to the Living Force and likely Yoda's own willingness to show himself.

Ezra's telepathic abilities have always been superior to Kanan's, however I'm not seeing anything that suggests he's holistically more powerful as of yet.

What evidence do you have? Because without it, you're just making assumptions while I use the dialogue presented to us.

He was named the weakest of the Jedi in the Season 2 finale so indeed, he's inferior to Kanan. However he makes quite a big jump in power towards Season 3 but even so I don't see him on par with Kanan (yet).

Post the dialogue that supports your stance that it was due to Ezra's power that he saw Yoda.

Ezra says that he can now see Yoda and the latter remarks that his abilities are growing. The context is pretty clear.

Of course Ezra grew in power. I'm asking you what supports your stance that it was his combative power that grew rather then his connection to the Living Force since you said you think he was more powerful then Kanan.

Because Ezra's power in general grew, there is no indication that his 'connection to the Living Force' was the cause of him seeing Yoda.

I'd disagree I believe it's indicated because the writers constantly focused on Ezra's connection with the LF in season 2 which would extend to communication with another Force user across long distances. The Living Force is spiritual in nature and often connected to feats of telepathy and beast control.

How much is known about the Living Force in canon?

In a combative sense there's really nothing at all that suggests Ezra is above S1 Kanan. To me, it's Ezra's connection to life and talent for telepathy, as well as his general strength in the Force, that allows him to communicate with Yoda and perform certain feats that Kanan may not be capable of doing. But again, when you consider general knowledge of the Force, experience, and combat effectiveness, Kanan should still be ahead of Ezra, even as of Season 1.

We've also got to factor in Kanan's blindness heightening his other senses, and potentially making him more formidable in that respect.

There's also that clip where he redirects a missile into an AT-ST, yeah.

Your argumentation sounds logical however it's never specified which aspects, only that he in general grew enough in power to see Yoda. That's enoug for me to consider him stronger than early S1 Kanan since his combat effectiveness is directly derived from his general power.

Sure, Kanan is still more powerful than Ezra in Season 3, even if it comes through his greater mastery of it rather than his raw power.

:/

Any new thoughts?

Im guessing at least Maul level. Why else would Maul want him as an apprentice?

Aside from that his control over animals was pretty unprecedented. Wouldnt be surprised if he could have connected with the Zillo Beast.
