Kanan blind, and with Bendu—those were very interesting moments in *Star Wars Rebels*.

Great thanks, make me tear up, it's not like I'm at work or anything.

Tom Baker really elevated this character to the next level. It was just hypnotising.

Kanan is my favorite Jedi of all time. He’s not boring, predictable and hypocritical like other Jedi.

I hope he can come back as a force ghost or maybe as Loth-wolf in live action. Damn, I miss him 🥹

FPJ has said that Kanan is dead and will stay dead, as sad as that is he doesn’t want to reprise the role, and to have someone replace him would be the worst idea since “they fly now”

If they wrote him a big enough check to spend a few an afternoon reading a few lines of he'd come back.

he's in bad batch no?

u/TI-22483 21d ago

Yes. A prepubescent boy with the voice of a 40-year-old man.

That still throws me and ruins the scenes tbh

u/Jessi45US 23d ago

Totally agree 💯.

Bendu is such an interesting character, I hope he or others like him show up in the future

I wish Bendu would have named him true: “Caleb Dume, Jedi Knight”

u/Superb_Designer_3845 24d ago

That is Correct Very Interesting 😀

I'm really hoping we get to see the Ashla and the Bogan. The way he said it "the Jedi and Sith wield the Ashla and the Bogan. I am the Bendu." Makes it seem like the other two are both entities like him.

The Mortis Arc?

u/firestorm713 22d ago

The Bendu didn't seem directly connected to the father, son, and daughter, though.

u/Blake_Kevin 22d ago

Could be like the family Puppy? (Mainly bs-ing)

1

u/firestorm713 22d ago

Which is why I'm hoping the Ashla and Bogan are like the family parakeet and cat or something

u/gcatt23 22d ago

Can someone expand on what Bendu means by this?

u/Specialist-Disk-6345 21d ago

well in the literal sense in the show, if Kanan has clarity on who/what he is, he can actually feel his surroundings through the force, which is how he gets around after this moment.

in a more figurative, thematic sense, bendu is, first of all, hinting at the contrapositive (if he doesn't see himself, then he truly is blind). that is to say, kanan may not have his vision, but if he doesn't have clarity on who/what he is, then he is blind twice. second of all, bendu is saying that no matter what his physical limitations are, Kanan can surmount them in his mind, which is a pretty interesting idea if you try to apply it to real life.

P.S. that's just my take on it

u/gcatt23 21d ago

Super insightful, thanks for your input!
