Day 141, Quasi-Quarantine: Depicting Ezra Bridgers's Hideout On Lothal



With our renewed interest in "Star Wars Rebels," we set out to replicate Ezra's Tower in Lego format. 

Ezra Bridgers is the show's young star, a Force-sensitive orphan who makes a living pursuing petty crime on Lothal while tweaking the Imperial occupation forces.

Ezra lives in an abandoned communications tower on the grassy plains outside of Capital City. His "roost" is eventually abandoned when he joins the Rebel crew as Spectre-6, but the hideout still pops up occasionally to play a key role.


As you can tell from the gallery on the Star Rebels Wiki, we managed to stay pretty faithful to Ezra's home. The highlight is the sliding circular door, which adds an element of security to the build.


The room also includes Ezra's trademark collection of stolen Imperial soldier helmets, a work bench, assorted tools, and a small bed.

The Rebels series is as much about how families can be cobbled together a number of different ways as it is about Ezra's journey to becoming a Jedi or the endless battle against evil forces. As such, this build captured Ezra's origins and serves a testament to how far he's come in finding new parents, new siblings ... and a new home.
