From the Ezra Bridger (Exile) Designer:
CG_Mithicoron: It’s been an absolute blast working on this version of Ezra. Not only was he awesome in the Ahsoka show, his development provided an interesting challenge bringing together who Ezra was after Season 3 of Rebels all the way to where we find him on Peredia. Additionally, much like Boushh teased and debuted some upcoming Jabba mechanics, Ezra gets to do this with Exile.
Exile was a particularly interesting challenge
I played around with a lot of different ideas for this kit, and ultimately settled on three themes;;
- Critical hits as utility
- Mechanical callouts to his old kit and Kanan’s
- His connection to the Purrgil who helped him secure a victory on his home planet of Lothal
Ezra’s kit is also packed with nods to the Phoenix team, like Backup Plan, but that’s not the only mechanic that mirrors familiar Phoenix characters. See if you can find them all!
