I want to know the story of how Ezra got his green lightsaber in the third season of Rebels.
I know there was only a six-month gap between Twilight of the Apprentice Pt. 2 and Steps Into Shadow, but it seemed like much longer. Like a year or better.
Ezra had a massive growth spurt, cut his hair, got a new outfit and an actual lethal sidearm, and somehow either a) found a spare kyber crystal floating around somewhere and constructed his new lightsaber himself, b) traveled to Ilum/Jedha/etc at Kanan's instruction to acquire a new crystal—which would be risky, considering the Empire is heavily mining kyber crystals at this point IIRC, or c) picked up an already-built lightsaber off of a smuggler or something.
I mean, that's a whole season right there. Just Ezra searching for his new kyber crystal and processing (burying) all these gutwrenching emotions—guilt, grief, denial, anger, shame, remorse—that we never got to see onscreen.
He had already opened the Sith holocron at this point and was learning from it; how would that have altered his balance within the Force (and subsequently his finding/receiving a new crystal; for example, if he went to Ilum and encountered Yoda’s Force presence there, like he did on Lothal, surely Yoda would have sensed his imbalance and had a nice long chat with him about the dangers of the Dark Side)?
And while all this is going on, in the background we have Kanan coming to terms with being permanently blinded.
How did he handle his diagnosis? Surely he spent a long time recovering in an infirmary and going through rehabilitation. Maybe Chopper was his seeing-eye droid for a time, or he had a cane that he threw away in a fit of anger because he refused to accept that he had lost both his sight and his padawan.
I want answers. I want more story. There was so much that could have been told and wasn’t.
