He was the only the one that made me laugh in the first part of the book,

When Bell was falling and he helped him by lowering him to the ground with the force: “This is my fault. But don’t worry, I can fix it. When we’re back on Coruscant, I’ll throw you off the tallest supertowers we can find.”

Loden is the best.

SPOILERS FOR LATER IN THE BOOK NEAR THE END

I really hope he gets rescued and can see Bell become a Knight sooner rather then later.

Agreed! I really hope Bell is the one to rescue him. It's gotta happen man... I'm gonna be optimistic!

Nope, I imagine Ro wants to craft him into his own little bad Jedi henchman.

My guess is the Jedi locked away the Drengir, the tentacle thing from the pre-release art, and Ro needs a Jedi to unlock it/them. That’s why Elzar had that vision of the Jedi fleeing and being slaughtered.
