I like the idea of how the Jedi teach the Light Side of the Force, the Sith teach the Dark Side of the Force whereas the Bendu simply teaches The Force.
Yoda and Bendu might have much to talk about as they compare their relative philosophies. I wouldn't mind hearing that conversation either. Both might truly enjoy a chance to experience the perspective of the other and to talk with someone at their own level for a change rather than all these ephemeral children
Chris Brown they could learn from each other. As the lyrics in the song 'Son of Man' put it, "In learning you will teach, and in teaching you will learn."
The Bendu, both in Canon and Legends, were among the greatest of the Force Wielders. They controlled neither the Dark nor the Light, they merely channeled the Force. The Jedi are conduits for what is seen as the "Good" side of the Force, and the Sith are conduits for what is seen as the "Bad", but the only reason such sides of the Force exist is because they have been made to exist by those who wield them. Peace, Harmony, Knowledge, Anger, Hatred, Sadness, Fear, Compassion, Joy, these are all part of the Force, and every living being feels these emotions. They are bound together by the Force. Just because someone feels hate does not mean they are evil, and just because someone can feel Peaceful or Happy does not mean they are good. For when you see the Force for what it is, you understand that all of these things are natural, but every single one is what makes you think that there are sides of the Force. When you acknowledge the fact that they are natural, you will understand that there is only the Force.
stands with fist The problem is that the forces of darkness will always rise up, to upset that balance. The Jedi channel the light in order to keep the forces of darkness at bay. “Darkness rises and light to meet it”
@@elliotkouame3849 exactly, and the dark side is always typically seen as lurking to make itself the dominant power, and the dark is seen to many as "bad". But the dark is not inherently bad but it is treated as a dominant power to those who use it. It should be used equally and together with the light if it is ever integrated to a person. People abuse it. Both sides have cons. Light is about conformity, and the dark is about animalistic impulses, and downside is it can't be used to its true potential. That's why the grey jedi's the best kind.
Consider that the light is your patience, love and compassion and the dark side is your anger, fear and hatred. You can't feel just either side and their respective emotions alone, all these emotions have to be allowed some moderate existence within ourselves. Yes even darker emotions are good for us but ONLY in moderation and combined with other emotions, a sort of emotional all for one and one for all philosophy. The true Force is not light or dark, it's a single, neutral power filled with the countless, multi-layered shades that exist between the two, just like the countless different people that make up one existence and the every life we all live itself.

I love this scene. It contains so many life lessons. The use of spiders is also a great analogy because many people are afraid of spiders just because they are afraid, not because they do anything.
sorry but whenever i'm afraid of spiders it's because i don't know if they can bite me and if so, how dangerous that bite might be. i try to capture them and put them outside whenever i see them, always, but the only spider i'm willing to let on my finger is a jumping spider.
@@carnage0685precisely. You don't know *if* they will bite you. Who's to say they will? Keep in mind that, to the spiders, you are far scarier due to your height. If you do not make them afraid, they have no reason to attack you out of fear.
Wow, that's actually very wise scene - when you are unable to see yourself for what you are and face honestly your inside feelings - you are becoming blind and distanced from other people, you antagonize them because you do not understand why they are attacking or turning away from you.
2:58 “If you can see yourself, you will never be truly blind.” How true this is, and it speaks volumes about people who have issues that they know they must fix.
I really enjoy how the Bendu teaches compared to regular Jedi. Yoda was a great teacher, but he never got excited when his students finally managed to succeed in something. In fact Jedi masters seemed to be that way, but I guess that is just part of the Code coming into it. Bendu seems so happy whenever Kanan learns.
Sadly that is in part of why Anakin fell. It’s okay to treat something exceptional as ordinary, and something extraordinarily as exceptional, they were Jedi after all, he did need to learn not to become blinded by their own glory. But they never really acknowledged anything about him.
I don't know about anyone else, but I think Tom Baker absolutely kills it here. Props to the script writers as well, but Tom added an almost otherworldly element to his portrayal of the Bendu. The articulation he chooses for some words, the focus he puts on others, it's really mesmerizing.
Man, it's so amazing to see the force in action, not what one side deems good and evil, the pure force, the grey, the middle ground, no good, no evil, just the pure force
Exactly. One of the flaws of the OT was how it treated the Light and the Darkness as pure extremes. Like if you do one Dark Side act then suddenly you are a slave to the Dark Side. Things are more complicated than that. I am not bashing the OT...it was the beginning. But later on things evolved. Unfortunately greed overshadows quality and it is for that reason that we keep getting more blood out of the OT instead of exploring the vast world of the Old Republic era.
@@barone8889the original triology was set from the point of view of a young boy from tatooine who had little to no force training or knowledge aside from what he needed to stop the empire. In RotJ, he sees that the Empire and the Dark Side of the Force are seperate things, and therefore knows he can try to appeal to Vader's humanity, leading to Vader destroying the Emperor, and with him, removing the extreme Darkness from the galaxy just like how he destroyed the extreme Light as Anakin, leaving the Force in balance. Sure, the conflict between the Rebels/New Republic and the Empire/First Order was still ongoing, but those organisations were not directly a part of the Force unlike the Jedi and the Sith
In my opinion, this scene really helps explain what was meant by Anakin being the Chosen One and "bringing balance to the Force". The Jedi, and us, the audience assumed that what this meant was that Anakin would finally destroy the Sith and thus eradicate the Dark Side of the Force. Ensuring the final victory of the Light Side and the Jedi, but one thing we have to consider is that up to this point, a thousand years of peace and supremacy had made the Jedi complacent, decadent, dogmatic. Their complacency had weakened their connection to the Force, made them blind to the growing power of the Dark Side and the Sith. Ancient knowledge of the Force which the Jedi had once mastered was locked away and forgotten. The Force was seen as nothing more than a tool to be used by the Jedi in the service of a corrupt and broken Republic. Rather than becoming protectors, the Jedi had become enforcers. Their own corruption and dogmatic worldview greatly hindered their understanding of the Force and its true potential. From their great temple, the Jedi looked down on the Galaxy, they saw the people they were supposed to protect as petulant children who could only be kept in line through force of arms. Thus, the Force wasn't imbalanced by the growing power of the Dark Side, it was imbalanced by the detachment of its adherents from it. And this is where Anakin enters in. Anakin destroying the Jedi Order WAS bringing balance. Evil though the actions may have been, Darth Vader and the Empire's campaign against the Jedi forced them to abandon their lofty seats in the Jedi temple. It forced them to go into hiding. For the first time in a thousand years, the Jedi could no longer rely on the powerful Republic administration, their feared reputation as legendary warriors, or the military might of the Republic Military. For the first time in a thousand years, the Jedi could rely only on the Force. The constant struggle to survive in a galaxy that was not fiercely hostile to them would force them to once again place their trust in the Force, to once again seek out and re-learn what being in tune with the Force REALLY meant, to re-learn all those powers and abilities that they had forgotten about. They now had to reconnect with the Force beyond the superficial level that they connected with it on as the Jedi Order. Only then could they ever hope to be strong enough to stand against the Empire. Those that could not would either die or join the enemy. But those that remained would be those who were truly one with the Force. Those who would live on, even beyond death. In essence, Anakin, the Empire, Order 66 was bringing balance to the Force because it was forcing the Jedi to shake off their complacency, to seek out new knowledge, and to rebuild the new order from the ashes of the old. THIS is what is meant by bringing balance to the Force. And Bendu perfectly personifies that. A being that is neither Sith nor Jedi. Neither dark side nor light. A being that simply is. A being that breathes the Force. A being that can help Kanan shed off the last vestiges of the flawed teachings of the decadent and corrupt old Jedi Order and truly learn what it means to be one with the Force.
You know I actually thought didn't even know this existed until today and I always thought anakin was the chosen one cause ultimately he murdered all Members of birth the light and the dark And he himself lived as both a jedi and a sith
The nature of the force will naturally brings balance without the help of either side. Trying to bring balance to it, only disturb the nature of its cycle. To understand its meaning is to, 'let go', and let its true nature show its purest form. To really learnt something, is to unlearned it.
Kannen: Keep it. It's a gift. Bendu: Laughs Sometime later Darth Bendu seizes his moment to conquer the galaxy after the First Order and Resistance beat each other to a pulp.
I love this scene so much because ever since I was little up until now I've been dealing with anger, fear, depression, sadness and jealousy . When all I had to focus on was " the faith" I have in myself and in others to help me.
Apollo SOL more character development then the main character of the sequel trilogy, Rey...., I mean kylo ren is a side character but has better character development than her I wish Dave feloni would have been able to direct the sequel trilogy, he’s made great stories
Same spiders from the Mandalorian... but two different feelings toward them. Bendu says it is not in their nature to attack, yet we see them attack Din Djarin and Grogu in the snow cave. Why? Cause Grogu gobbled one of the babies, threatening them. So the Bendu was right, in a way.
Incorrect, they are not the same spiders. These are krynka, the ones in the mandalorian are knobby white spiders. These ones have beaks, pincers and eyes toward the front, in the mandalorian, they have long mouths with teeth, and eyes going all the way around, no pincers.
@@Firelord91021 there are many subspecies of spiders throughout the Galaxy like the spice spiders, my question is how did they get to these sorts of planets and how long did it take them to adapt to their environments.
@@dknighton100 They probably just naturally evolved over the course the planet’s history, and are classified as “spiders” because they share common features: eight legs, many eyes, a roughly similar body structure, etc.
The Bendu teaches that self knowledge is the most important lesson one can every learn on the road to mastery. Before one can master anything, one must master themselves.
I really liked the idea and execution of the Bendu. His perception is fascinating, his whims amusing and his methods very interesting. As a mentor (of sorts) he’s a joy to listen to. But should you not learn you are in grave danger
I love the skeptical tone Bendu Had when he first was introduced to Kanan, talking about the conflict within him-- something a Jedi must be able to overcome. In this scene when it was all over, and the lesson learned. Bendu Said Kanan Jarrus, Jedi knight, in a warm, proud tone
to be honest, i really like this scene. the music at 2:38 is just beautiful. This season is starting out awesome! Kanan is probably my favorite character in this series, so it's nice to see him still growing.
0:48 "How else do you relate to the spiders?" Jon Pertwee regenerated into Tom Baker when The 3rd Doctor succumbed to radiation poisoning from the Metabelis crystals in his confrontation with the Spider Queen.
Depending on how the "Force" affects you and others In life my friend. Twas a lonnnng time ago in a Galaxy far... farrrr away. The game may be different there. Look at the rules in this geographical area and how much it differs so close to here. Just a thought. May the "force" be with you. I feel like... "Es potato"
The force exists in real life. Energy fields produced by living things exist, but every universe has its law and ours just happens to have very strict rules when it comes to mortals having any sort of power
One of the biggest paradoxes of human maturity. How growing up emotionally must maintain a degree of childishness to avoid being sociopathic or callous but childishness is the very thing you're trying to move past.
Cobeoe it’s theme as far as king fu masters and enlightened characters go. They act wonderus and joyful I guess the moral is they are true to themselves
Wow!.. . this was a banging ass scene. . I didn't know the Bendu's character was so wise.. . That's what's up!.. . . I'm personally not a rebels fan too much at all really, but I love what the Bendu's character represents. . & at least kids who are really paying attention can truly learn something about the Force in real life.. . . .
I noticed this as well. Kanan comes to the Bendu thinking he lacks the knowledge/skills he needs, but the Bendu makes him see through simple questions ("How?", "Why?") that he already has what he needs
Ley Batenkaitos Gluttony It looks like he is abble to use both the light and the darkside.He was abble to open the Sith holocrone,so it means he can channel the dark side.
Hey, you know what would have been awesome? If Anakin's ghost himself appeared and have a heart-to-heart talk with his son, reminding him *how people fall* ... and return. The return of the Jedi. Fuck man, I would have teared.
These are probably my favorite Rebels episodes that only feature new characters. Wish we could get more stories with the Bendu. Also blind Kanan is such a cool character.
Ahsoka stated in her novel that, unlike the inquisitor that she faced, if she was forced to she could fight just as well blind as she could with sight. it is an essential part of Jedi training to learn to sense your surroundings along with the intentions of the people around you. Kanan missed a lot of that training
I've just started watching Rebels as a first time viewer. Just finished Season 3. Can't believe Bendu's voiced by Tom Baker, especially as he's my favourite Doctor Who. Oops sorry, my favourite Doctor. Just feels so weird that he actually took part in Star Wars.
Man when I hear the bendu talk I get the feeling of EVERY wise jedi is in one body and is stronger with the force while also getting the feeling of every wise man in movies who dont talk bs but true wisdom
Ikr, I only just watched Season 3 today as a first time viewer and couldn't believe it when I recognised that voice. Plus Tom Baker's my favourite Doctor, which makes it more awesome for me.
at one point the jedi taught the same thing the bendu did. rash thinking during conflict changed this. the earliest jedi were the first to experience it.
I thought he was going to offer him a Jellybaby. Bendu’s voice actor is Tom Baker who was the 4th Doctor in Doctor Who. He’s the one that wore a hat and long scarf and his love of the jellybaby candy.
The bendu sounds and reminds me of the father who tested Anakin to "see" if he's the chosen one. And now is testing Kanan to see within the force and follow his path.
Live this! Just been watching Genesis of the Daleks and then checked Tom's filmography... and found out about this! Hehe great! I've not got this far in Rebels yet ! O.O.K 😉👌🏼
I say it time and time again that kanan would have been the founder of the new Jedi order not Luke Skywalker. If kanan was the grandmaster it would have flourished. He was the truest of all Jedi at this time. He walked hand and hand with the force. Wise so far beyond his years.
I have a theory that Bendu showed Kanan how to connect to the Living Force in this moment. It adds a lot of context to his boost of wisdom and clarity from here on in the series.
I like the idea of how the Jedi teach the Light Side of the Force, the Sith teach the Dark Side of the Force whereas the Bendu simply teaches The Force.
I don't think there's a single creature in the universe that is a better keeper of a Sith holochron than the Bendu.

Think of revan he mastered the force in full

I wish they could have an episode where Yoda and the Bendu have dialogue. Yoda might actually find himself in the role of a student once again.
Indeed he would, but we know he won't unless they retcon the empire strikes back

even if they were the same species, Grogu did provoke them to protect their eggs
The Bendu teaches that self knowledge is the most important lesson one can every learn on the road to mastery. Before one can master anything, one must master themselves.
Mastering themselves? Like controlling yourself? We must first find out: WHAT IS THE SELF?
I really liked the idea and execution of the Bendu.
His perception is fascinating, his whims amusing and his methods very interesting.
As a mentor (of sorts) he’s a joy to listen to. But should you not learn you are in grave danger
Ага, если не узнают
The fourth doctor in a Star Wars cartoon? Double the awesome!
The 10th doctor was in TCW too!

You might be A force user, but Bendu is THE force user. The genuine article you might say.
I love the skeptical tone Bendu Had when he first was introduced to Kanan, talking about the conflict within him-- something a Jedi must be able to overcome.
In this scene when it was all over, and the lesson learned. Bendu Said Kanan Jarrus, Jedi knight, in a warm, proud tone
to be honest, i really like this scene. the music at 2:38 is just beautiful. This season is starting out awesome! Kanan is probably my favorite character in this series, so it's nice to see him still growing.
What is that music track called?
hah! excellent question! I have no idea!
I would had liked to had listened to it on it's own. I've learnt music helps tell the story and reflects on the emotion.
Aboc Stark I would like to see him finaly achieve the rank of Jedi Master.
Vlad the Impaler Same here!!!
0:48 "How else do you relate to the spiders?" Jon Pertwee regenerated into Tom Baker when The 3rd Doctor succumbed to radiation poisoning from the Metabelis crystals in his confrontation with the Spider Queen.
Daniel Williamson YUP.
"All praise to The Great One...."
The Bendu is quite a genius character! You can use his philosophy in real life, except for all the force stuff.
It's mother fucking Tom Baker.

Depending on how the "Force" affects you and others In life my friend.
Twas a lonnnng time ago in a Galaxy far... farrrr away.
The game may be different there. Look at the rules in this geographical area and how much it differs so close to here.
Just a thought.
May the "force" be with you.
I feel like...
"Es potato"
The force exists in real life. Energy fields produced by living things exist, but every universe has its law and ours just happens to have very strict rules when it comes to mortals having any sort of power

Thousands of years and he still so childish
cobeoe "There is no point of growing up if you can't act childish sometimes"
- The 4th Doctor
One of the biggest paradoxes of human maturity. How growing up emotionally must maintain a degree of childishness to avoid being sociopathic or callous but childishness is the very thing you're trying to move past.
Grown ups are just obsolete children and even something obsolete still retains elements of what it once was.
Cobeoe it’s theme as far as king fu masters and enlightened characters go. They act wonderus and joyful I guess the moral is they are true to themselves
Well as they say, adults are just grown up children
Wow!.. . this was a banging ass scene. . I didn't know the Bendu's character was so wise.. . That's what's up!.. . . I'm personally not a rebels fan too much at all really, but I love what the Bendu's character represents. . & at least kids who are really paying attention can truly learn something about the Force in real life.. . . .
yeah! it's relatable. I think star wars is always at its best when it is relatable.
Until Disney took over

The Doctor teaching a Jedi about the force, this is interesting
The Doctor teaching The Iron Bull about the force.
I would love to see Yoda and this guy meet.
Me too
What makes you think they haven't?
I would like to meet this bendu. For how deep tend to think a month with him and I would have the answers to achieving human potential.
I miss Kanan. A lot. Unfair he had to die. I'm reliving that moment he died, and I feel such saddeness. Crying too, a lot.
rebels feels so OT its amazing. iconic stuff
Socrates method with the Force: the ultimate teacher.
I noticed this as well. Kanan comes to the Bendu thinking he lacks the knowledge/skills he needs, but the Bendu makes him see through simple questions ("How?", "Why?") that he already has what he needs
anyone else thinks the bendu should have offered kanan a jelly baby? :P
I do!
I was expecting that reference
I'm sure Kanan wouldn't *see* that reference coming either
Yes.
Um, what?
"Yo dudes the bendu is pretty chill maybe you should like join it or something"
Bendu is awesome!!!!
Ley Batenkaitos Gluttony It looks like he is abble to use both the light and the darkside.He was abble to open the Sith holocrone,so it means he can channel the dark side.
I love that the Bendu is voiced by the fourth Doctor from Doctor who, Tom Baker.
Aah, I didn't know
Once I recognised the voice, I kept waiting for the Bendu to ask "Do you want a jelly baby?"
Dear everyone who made The Last Jedi happen,
2:34 - 3:11
*This. This is the soul of Star Wars.*
This can totally apply to Luke in TLJ. If only the Bendu was there
Hey, you know what would have been awesome?
If Anakin's ghost himself appeared and have a heart-to-heart talk with his son, reminding him *how people fall* ... and return. The return of the Jedi.
Fuck man, I would have teared.
Khan Skywalker God damnit I wish they had that idea, that's brilliant!
I dont think Last Jedi ran contrary to any of these ideals. At least not the Luke/Rey characters, the rest was a mess.
This is really kind of the same thing as TLJ, just quicker.
That voice thats no force sensitive thats a Time Lord ,the time lord ,The Doctor
These are probably my favorite Rebels episodes that only feature new characters. Wish we could get more stories with the Bendu. Also blind Kanan is such a cool character.
Now Kanan Jarrus, Jedi Knight..... would you like a jelly baby?
Bendu's voiced by Tom Baker? I knew his voice sounded familiar!
@@ruddthree8105 The one and only.
Just imagine if the fourth Doctor's Tardis ended up on the Executor, and he found himself trying to talk his way out of an Imperial interrogation.
"Fear, grief, anger. That's how they see me. That's how I see myself..."
AHHH! Your sight returns! HAHA!
Ahsoka stated in her novel that, unlike the inquisitor that she faced, if she was forced to she could fight just as well blind as she could with sight. it is an essential part of Jedi training to learn to sense your surroundings along with the intentions of the people around you. Kanan missed a lot of that training
You have to be constantly tapped into the force though.
Anybody else waiting for Bendu to ask Kanan for a jelly baby?
Yes. I made the connection
The balance is crazy, the light always stays ambiguous while the dark side often swaps between absolute and mundane over and over.
I've just started watching Rebels as a first time viewer. Just finished Season 3. Can't believe Bendu's voiced by Tom Baker, especially as he's my favourite Doctor Who. Oops sorry, my favourite Doctor. Just feels so weird that he actually took part in Star Wars.
David Tennant, my favorite Doctor did as well in Clone Wars.
I love this character. The Bendu. Hope to see him again if not in Season 3 then 4.
Man when I hear the bendu talk I get the feeling of EVERY wise jedi is in one body and is stronger with the force while also getting the feeling of every wise man in movies who dont talk bs but true wisdom
And it's all wrapped in one body
This scene reminds me of my mission to heal myself of my past wounds. It reminds me that sometimes, I have to look within myself in order to heal.
This is undoubtedly my favourite scene in the entire series, it gives me chills every time
THAT VOICE?! NO WAY!!
BUT IT IS!!
IT'S *TOM BAKER*
*THE 4TH DOCTOR WHO*
Ikr, I only just watched Season 3 today as a first time viewer and couldn't believe it when I recognised that voice. Plus Tom Baker's my favourite Doctor, which makes it more awesome for me.
Scene brought me to serious tears man . If you can see yourself you will never be truly blind . 😢 Jeez man ...star wars with their quotes .
at one point the jedi taught the same thing the bendu did. rash thinking during conflict changed this. the earliest jedi were the first to experience it.
Wow.I really like how he teach the force.I'm surprised.
I thought he was going to offer him a Jellybaby. Bendu’s voice actor is Tom Baker who was the 4th Doctor in Doctor Who. He’s the one that wore a hat and long scarf and his love of the jellybaby candy.
All I hear is the doctor
Bendu best character in Star Wars Rebel's.
I think Tom Baker could read the phonebook and make it sound awe inspiring. He was the perfect choice for the Bendu.
Imagine if instead of the new live action movies all of that budget went towards animated series like this and the clone wars
Imagine Yoda and Bendu just sitting there talking life, maaaaan
is that really Tom baker ?!
Yup
Tom Baker? Hot damn.
Yes, The Doctor himself.
I thougt it was patrick stewart
M. King he's dead passed away ages ago
Tom baker is such a legend
I LOVE BENDU SO MUCH!! He was a fantastic addition to Rebels! Big risk, but HUGE REWARD!! Awesome!!
This must be the fourth doctor in an alternate timeline.....
If only the bendu could talk to luke in tlj
Actually they are more a like. Both want to be alone and away from the conflict
British space cow. That is what my siblings and I nicknamed Bendu.
This creature looks powerful, strong, dark and Turned To the light side. Its really increadible
Only if Anakin came to him the Star Wars Universe would probably not be as dark as it is now
Do you think Yoda knows about the Bendu?
arbknight12 Maybe Qui Gon taught him about the Bendu during his training in Dagobah.
Of course. If a being is strong enough in the force any other force user can sense their presence at any distance.
Beautiful interaction between the two best characters in the show.
The bendu sounds and reminds me of the father who tested Anakin to "see" if he's the chosen one. And now is testing Kanan to see within the force and follow his path.
Took me a long time to realize this was Tom Baker
"Kanon, Jedi Knight... Would ya like a Jelly Baby?"
In my opinion this series was s much better than the Disney SW movies
You know this show doesn’t invalidate the movies, right? Kanan even lends his voice to support Rey in RoS....
Fear leads to anger. Anger leads to hate. Hate leads to suffering.
" I am one with the force and the force is with me "
"Only with our Eyes closed to we ever Truly See" master vas
Live this! Just been watching Genesis of the Daleks and then checked Tom's filmography... and found out about this! Hehe great! I've not got this far in Rebels yet ! O.O.K 😉👌🏼
Bendu reminds me of the lion turtle from avatar the last airbender
Love the Bendu’s voice
Bendu, where's your TARDIS?
There is no right side of the force. There is not one without the other
I say it time and time again that kanan would have been the founder of the new Jedi order not Luke Skywalker. If kanan was the grandmaster it would have flourished. He was the truest of all Jedi at this time. He walked hand and hand with the force. Wise so far beyond his years.
lol I want to think this is how General Kota learned to 'see' as well in the old cannon after that nasty business on Nar Shadda.
Ramm Kota was never canon
Juan Gracia Marques in the legends Canon he was
@@lillith3159 "RaMm kOta wAs nEveR cAnOn"
@@mitchsorrenstein1819 Nope, force unleashed wasnt canon even in legends.
@@lillith3159 yes it was, do your research the novels were 100% canon.
The Tom Bombadil of Star Wars.
I have a theory that Bendu showed Kanan how to connect to the Living Force in this moment. It adds a lot of context to his boost of wisdom and clarity from here on in the series.
Hail to the soft spoken master of the force😭
This makes the je'daii cannon especially with Ashla and Bogan
Imagine fighting your opponent by looking at yourself through their eyes.
Such a great lesson, in a kids show mind you! There’s always gold if you know where to look. I just learned something while watching this!
The Bendu gives off major Guru Pathik vibes from ATLA
This is the part of the Bendu that I really like.
