It's one of the names I used to give out whenever I'd get captured. It's pretty obviously not my real name, but I thought it was funny when I was a kid.
There's different fake names for different occasions, you know? I've claimed to be a Hutt, a smuggler, a Trandoshan, an Imperial officer, and every kind of trooper you can think of. Obviously it's a little difficult to claim I'm anyone other than Ezra Bridger here, though.
I don't know how much I can do beyond older Ezra, considering how many people recognize me on sight. Evil Ezra?
If no one can see me, I've got a few more options. [He pauses, before shifting into an approximation of a posh Coruscant accent] I think I've still got this? Yeah, still got it.
Come on, you’re talking to a former almost apprentice of a former Sith Lord! If there are other Ezras out there, I wouldn’t be too surprised that one of us leans more dark sidey.
Because I've been living a relatively peaceful life, but. [he shrugs] You know.
[And then realizes,]
I guess you don't, actually, since you're from before the Clone Wars. I've never really known actual peace, is the thing. The peace is harder to deal with than the emotions.
That’s something that’s hard for me to imagine. But I suppose one day it won’t be.
The Jedi have kept the peace for a thousand generations after all. There isn’t a single one of us alive at my point in time that’s ever truly known war. It’s… sad to think all of that will change.
It's all happened already, at least in my case. There's little use dwelling on it, other than to explain where I'm coming from.
If there was a war going on here, I think strangely, I'd be more at peace with myself. What that says about me is, I don't know, not great probably. But you don't feel that way, right?
But… I feel that what you just described says more about your situation than it does about you. You live in a very different galaxy from the one I’m in. And I think you’re doing the best you can with what you have.

So… why Jabba?

[And apparently still thinks so.]

You would get captured and claim to be an intergalactic gangster?
You’re rather skinny for a Hutt.
…
That is pretty funny actually.

[he laughs as well, thank you for getting it!!!]

While you’re right in that those wouldn’t quite land here, I have faith that you can come up with something that would.

[Sorry Ezra you’re too nice and squishy to be evil! It’s the kind face.]
Ha. Try that one around Cobb Vanth and see how that goes.
no subject
[As for Cobb,]
I bet he’d get a kick out of it.
no subject
[He knows Ezra has a history but… nope. Not evil.]
That or be deeply offended. Really it could probably go either way. He doesn’t like core worlders much.
no subject
[Lothal and Tatooine are the handshake meme basically]
Thanks for your vote of confidence in my devotion to the light side, though, even if I'm a little disappointed you don't believe in my acting skills.
no subject
[He then chuckles a little.]
It’s not so much the acting skills as I know my roommate well enough. You two are different, I know, but at your core you’re the same.
no subject
[He thinks he must be more intimidating now, although he doesn't try to be. At least, that is until he speaks.]
You seem to be doing better.
[A lot better, actually.]
no subject
[He hadn’t expected that to be brought up but perhaps he shouldn’t be surprised.]
My roommate is to thank for that. He… helped me realize a few things. It doesn’t make it better exactly but I’m more at peace.
no subject
[That's the version of the code Kanan taught him, at least.]
Although lately I might be more peace, yet emotion.
