This lesson of Kanan given by Bendu is faar different than what Yoda told Luke but also have some small similarites ;) i wonder if Bendu will show up in Episode lX...
I think the lessons are very much the same. Obi-Wan to Luke, Yoda to Luke, Luke to Rey, the Bendu to Kanan - they all have the same basic lesson. Appreciate the connections between yourself and everything else around you, especially life. Understand you live in an interconnected universe. Whether it's "stretching out with your feelings", or feeling what's "between the rocks, the tree, the land, the ship", it's much like this.
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.
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.
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."
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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 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.
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
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.
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.
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.. . . .
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
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
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.
Great one. pfff. More like Great pest of doctor who. But, compared to these spiders they feel complicated yet harmless. A pity that these creatures weren't in doctor who so that they could help others.
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
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
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.
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.
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 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
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
Honestly i wish the Grey Jedi was called the Bendu instead, We got odd names like Jedi and Sith then the middle is just Grey Jedi? that doesn't sound very middle of the road. Imagine if Ahsoka found the Bendu after Order 66 and decided to learn from him and classified herself as a Bendu, that would be sick
The reason that the 'middle' doesn't have a proper name is because it's practically impossible. A Grey Jedi is generally just a Jedi with common sense or a Sith with decent morals, they still lean towards one side. The only characters who are truly in the middle are practically demi-gods like the Bendu and The Father. The middle is something unknowable to a mere force-user.
And fear leads to the dark side but this show just how one track minded the jedi were afraid of there own emotions even if they are natural Bendu teaches us that balance was never the jedi way and were doomed to fail because they could not see them self's yoda was the only one to realise the but it was to late
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
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.
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 yoda, they both sound like masters who make no sense till you realize the meaning in their words are like parables, so you can hear the lesson without being told because we are to stubborn to listen. LIKE JESUS OMG IT ALL MAKES SENSE!...well to me anyway lol
