Eman Esfandi Got Lightsaber Envy While Filming 'Ahsoka'

A bearded Ezra Bridger, played by Actor Eman Esfandi, holds a blue lightsaber in 'Ahsoka' on Disney+

The Big Picture Even as we rapidly approach five decades since the series began, fans continue to eat up behind-the-scenes stories from Star Wars. At Boston Fan Expo, Collider's Maggie Lovitt hosted a panel with Ahsoka stars Eman Esfandi and Diana Lee Inosanto and dug into some behind-the-scenes stories from the Disney+ series. With Ahsoka, bridging the gap between the animated and live-action Star Wars universes, fans are eager for any tidbits about the show's production.

Answering a question from a fan at the tail end of the panel, Esfandi was asked how he felt when he saw Natasha Liu Bordizzo wielding Ezra Bridger's lightsaber when he never got to use the one from the animated show — Ezra built a new one in Ahsoka.

The first time we all really got in the room together, on the Volume, on stage, they handed me a saber to play with my first time. I’ve told that story. But then they were like, ‘let's get a cast, group shot. Everyone was like, 'Oh my God, our Avengers Assemble moment.' And they're like, 'Oh hand them their lightsabers' and they go, and they hand everybody a lightsaber. You had a sword. I think they gave you something.
