This was so fun!! :')
I don't have the heart to give it less than 5 stars. It's what Ezra deserves.

Ezra Bridger's Journal is surprisingly good, if woefully short and simple.
This is basically an in-universe look at Ezra's life in the weeks and months prior to the start of Star Wars: Rebels and a retelling of how he met the rest of the main cast at the very start of the series. It's written maybe just a touch more childishly than I might have expected for a 13-year-old (although who knows how 13-year-olds write in Star Wars?) and has some annoying repeated musings about how awesome Ezra thinks he is. But it also has a good look at his mental state prior to joining the Rebels crew and how lonely and bored he was living alone in the tower. It also has a surprisingly large number of cool extras (like weapon and armor diagrams and map)s considering the short length, and ties in to the short webisode starring Ezra prior to the show as well as the junior novel Ezra's Gamble -- which is a rare and welcome amount of continuity for a product like this.
The biggest problem, beyond some of the annoying things Ezra says and draws, is just that it's so short. I read through cover to cover in one sitting in maybe half an hour or so, and that's about it. So if you have limited resources to spend on books, you might want to look for a better value for your money elsewhere. But if you aren't concerned about that, the Rebel Journal is a better read than it has any right to be.

I enjoyed this. Star Wars Rebels is a good show and I really like Ezra. It was a quick read and had cool pictures and features, just like the Sabine Rebel Sketchbook one. I still liked the Sabine one more, though.

I picked it up on a whim and had such a fun time reading this one! The writer definitely knows how to depict Ezra, and it shines through. This is a fun companion book to the show and a great look into the weeks and months before Ezra joins the Ghost crew.

Big fan of scrapbooks, but this one felt a little too young for my tastes.

I like Star Wars and watched the series. I liked that it’s a Star Wars book.

A surprisingly sad read.

I don't know, I guess I sort of hoped I would like Ezra somewhat after I read this. (I find him boring and bland.) Instead I just felt baffled as to how this kid considered himself so smart when he literally picked up information with PICTURES of Hera and Kanan and then he's all "WHO are these guys?" when he meets them. And I found his self-centeredness to be unsurprising (he is fourteen) and it is present in the show, but it is unchecked and all over the place in this. At least Han was given a bit of a good side in Leia's journal ("Captive to Evil") where he said that he didn't want to do the medal ceremony because the guys who deserved medals were the ones who didn't come home from the fight. Ezra just praised himself and wanted Kitwarr's sibling (if Kitwarr should ever have one) to be named after him.
Good info on the Ghost's schematics and some other maps, though. Some fun drawings (is it just me or does that drawing of Obi-Wan look like some drawing of Jesus you'd find in a Christian Book Store?)

I got this for Christmas this year and immediately started reading it. This book was so perfect and adorable to read after just finishing watching the Star Wars Rebels, 4 season, TV show. It only took about an hour or two to read. It is filled with lots of Ezra Bridger's survival skills and gives a taste of how he lived as an orphan on the planet of Lothal before the Rebels on the Ghost took him in. As I was reading it, I was imagining Ezra's voice and the language was exactly like him from the show. I absolutely loved this book and you need to read it if you love Ezra as much as I do! :D

Not the worst Star Wars merchandise but overly hallow and pointless. Sam enjoyed it enough.
