Absolutely wild to see Ezra Bridger circa season 1 described as someone who has "mastered the art of zero attachments" despite being like... nearly consumed by his fear of loss and abandonment and going on a wholeass journey throughout all four seasons towards figuring out how to trust again and how to understand that someone making a sacrifice isn't necessarily the same thing as being abandoned, that sacrifice can be an act of love as much as anything else, and it is THIS EXACT UNDERSTANDING of how to let go of his fear of losing those he loves that allows him to truly become a Jedi and understand what being a Jedi has always meant.
Like, gee, I'm sorry, but I dunno what you thought all of those blatantly obvious parallels to ANAKIN FUCKING SKYWALKER were all about other than showing that Ezra had learned to OVERCOME his attachments in a way Anakin did not, that Ezra was choosing to be the Jedi that Anakin should've been when faced with the exact same tests and temptations.
Rebels is not about realizing one should have more attachments because that's what saves you. It's about learning to LET GO of your attachments and accept change when it happens and to love people and love the world ANYWAY, even if you could lose them, even if you DO lose them, because THAT'S what will save you.
