Sometimes I get emotional about the fact that it was Kanan who recruited the other spectres.
Ezra was more of a joint decision between Hera and Kanan but it's explicitly stated that Kanan was the one to recruit Zeb and Sabine (legends of the lasat, sabine's sketchbook et al).
Like. He started out just wanting to follow Hera for the sake of the ride and her beautiful voice while she was the one with a mission and wanting to recruit. But then he finds Zeb and later Sabine and probably sees so much of himself in them and he's the one to bring them together.
Like I bet he wasn't that enthusiastic about the idea of recruiting others onto the Ghost. A New Dawn Kanan is still a loner, still hiding. He really likes Hera and feels a connection with her and she already knows he's a Jedi so there's nothing left to risk with her. But putting together a crew would be a Bit Much for him I think. Solid chance he was planning on leaving as soon as that idea ever came to fruition, as he still doesn't want to get too close to anyone and doesn't want to risk Hera's life if he were outed as a Jedi while living in tight quarters with strangers.
That is until he meets Zeb and Sabine and is instantly determined to keep them. Just knows that they are the right people and that he is the right person to help them. And it's after that that he knows he's found where's he's supposed to be and is never leaving the Ghost.
To make it funnier its also like he starts bringing new crew members back to Hera like a cat bringing in dead animals lolol
It just goes to show how much growth he went through between A New Dawn and Rebels that we never even witness bc there is zero material on it disney are you listening to me I want a media about this 5 years ago 👁👁
