Ahsoka Episode 7 Proved Ezra Is As Powerful As Darth Vader

Though the return of fan favorites such as Luke Skywalker (Mark Hamill), Han Solo (Harrison Ford), and Princess Leia (Carrie Fisher) is a big selling point of the sequel trilogy, it also boasts some interesting franchise newcomers. Among these heroes and villains are Rey Skywalker (Daisy Ridley) and Kylo Ren (Adam Driver), who clash throughout "Star Wars: Episode VII – The Force Awakens," "Star Wars: Episode VIII – The Last Jedi," and "Star Wars: Episode IX – The Rise of Skywalker." Most pertinent here is their duel in the third film.

In the wreckage of the Death Star II, Rey and Kylo cross sabers over a Sith Wayfinder. As gigantic waves crash around them and their situation becomes increasingly perilous, they both employ the same technique as Ezra Bridger and Darth Vader. Early in the fight, Rey briefly stops Kylo's red lightsaber with the Force, prompting him to do the same with her blue one moments later. Seeing as Kylo is the grandson of Vader and Rey is the granddaughter of Emperor Palpatine (Ian McDiarmid) — trained by Luke and Leia no less — it's no surprise that they've both mastered this immensely useful Force ability.
