Ahsoka fans emotional over long-awaited reunion in finale
It was a bittersweet ending.
*Warning: Major spoilers ahead for Ahsoka episode 8.*
It's finally happened! In the last episode of Ahsoka, Ezra Bridger, played by Eman Esfandi, finally made his way home after sacrificing himself in Rebels to defeat Grand Admiral Thrawn.
The new Star Wars series has seen Ahsoka (Rosario Dawson) and Sabine Wren (Natasha Liu Bordizzo) searching for Ezra in the aftermath of Rebels, with the character finally making his first physical appearance in the series in episode 6.
Finally, episode 8 saw Ezra returning home after disguising himself as a night trooper and reuniting with Hera (Mary Elizabeth Winstead) and Chopper the droid.

While Hera seemed suspicious at first, she quickly realised it was Ezra, with the character telling her: "Hi Hera, I'm home."
Fans have been left emotional by the scene, with one writing on Twitter, which was recently rebranded to X: "Chopper knew when he walked off the ship that it was Ezra. Seeing Heras face when she saw Ezra after this long was so heartwarming. A mom who hasn't seen her son in forever and finally being reunited."
Another said: "HERA SYNDULLA AND EZRA BRIDGER REUNION HERA CAN’T BELIEVE HER EYES THAT HE’S REAL AND ALIVE."
One more added: "Ezra and Hera are finally reunited."
