Who is Bao-Dur? - Star Wars Characters Explained!! 

I'm debating making some stylistic changes with Characters Explained videos. Potentially removing the 'ship' overlay. Let me know below if you think I should change it up or if you have any suggestions!

KOTOR I: Level up companions as quickly as possible and save all my levels until I become a Jedi. KOTOR II: Level up myself as quickly as possible and save all my companion levels until I earn enough influence to train them as Jedi.

“What about Bao Dur?” “The iridonian will focus more on his voice and eventually, he will create an ASMR channel.”

Bao-Dur and the fists of mass destruction.

(Whispers) “What’s going on?”

Honestly kotor 2 and what Bao-Dur had to go through is one of the saddest stories in all of star wars

Hello there

Bao-Dur and Oppenheimer both created a weapon who killed many and both regret doing it, but unlike oppenheimer bao-dur can close his chapter when he destroyed malachor 5 and the mass shadow generator (the machine is also destroyed) is this logical?

Fantastic and amazing video my friend as always. Bao-Dur is a fascinating character but everything I learned about him came from the fan made videos my friend sorry. I can't wait to see your next Characters Explained video my friend and expand my knowledge of Star Wars. My friend I'm not asking you to do a review but I hope you don't mind me talking about the latest episode of the Bad Batch series. The Bad Batch went to Ord Mantell which is the first time it's ever been shown in animation to get information about Fennec Shand. Echo knows of an informant named Cid who hires them to retrieve a child from slavers. The child is a baby Rancor named Muchi and it's possible it's the same Rancor that Luke Skywalker fought in Return of the Jedi since Cid's client is Jabba the Hut

I'd love to see a KOTOR trilogy in the cinema or show on Disney+ one day.

Yes General?

Looks good , the title part

A lovely video.

I HATED Bao-Dur’s voice lol

Bao-Dur seriously does not get enough love. I mean what he did was freaking amazing, even if terrifying. Not a lot of SW characters can claim to be able to build super weapons. I'm afraid not even I gave him enough attention when I was younger, but I do now for sire. Also his voice is soothing af. x'D

Short definition; he's that guy with an alluring ASMR voice.

Somewhere, Boa-Dur and ST Scotty are having a drink somewhere and talking about engineering

Excellent work, General!

My interpretation, especially with the restored content mod, is that Bao-Dur dies during the battle of Telos helping HK-47 reach the droid factory. Him and HK-47 sneak away during the Sith assault on citadel station, (Lieutenant Grenn and Atton both comment on their absence and you can't pick them for that mission) and when HK-47 is shown infiltrating the factory Bao-Dur is not present. Bao-Dur is also not present (At least, not physically) on the Ebon Hawk during the journey to Malachor V, and I see no reason for him not to go unless he had been captured or killed. I believe he left remote behind on the ship to carry out it's mission on Malachor, because he knew that getting HK-47 into the droid factory during a Sith assault on the planet was essentially a suicide mission. The voice of Bao-Dur that the Exile hears I believe is either a force ghost or more likely an echo of Bao-Dur that is present in the machines and the ship itself, which Bao-Dur has extensively repaired throughout the game. If you are playing as a darkside character, then once you get enough darkside points Bao-Dur tells Kreia that she is harming the Exile with her presence, to which Kreia responds by torturing Bao-Dur with memories of the Mass Shadow Generator's death and destruction at Malachor. She tells Bao-Dur: "Serve the Exile until it is your time to die, and it will be enough." (Which to my mind is foreshadowing) To top it off, there is also a cut line from the audio development diaries at the time, in which Bao-Dur says the line: "Make my sacrifice matter" ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-e2Tqk6x3TiU.html It was definitely the intent at some point during development, and his completely physical absence from the game from the attack on Citadel Station onwards strongly suggests to me that this is a logical interpretation of the restored content mod. The only thing I am not sure about is if the player doesn't activate HK-47 or the droid factory quest, since Bao-Dur still disappears but I guess there is no reason for him to sacrifice himself? If the droid factory is canon though, then Bao-Dur's death kind of has to be as well.

Bao-dur being force-sensitive makes a lot of sense being able to create a top of the line droid like Anakin did.

Well hello there early gang! This was greatly interesting as I've always been fond of Bao-Dur. To alone being able to build something capeable of crushing an entire planet.. Is there any information on what happened to his Telos project, did it succeed? I love his little joke story in the game about how he lost his arm: "Eh got tired of it, kept dropping things and getting in my way."

Every time I play KOTOR 2 and he starts whispering "general" in the way he does I get really creeped out

8:07 Interesting edit for illustrative purposes but he couldn’t wear Jedi robes. I know it’s probably because of his arm but I still find it annoying.

Didn't Bao-Dur canonically die before the end of the game? His character slot is empty by the time you get to Malachor so supposedly he dies during the battle on either Onderon or Telos. There is even a mod which can be installed called "Bao-Dur's Fate" which fills in the gap in the vanilla version that just has him disappear.

7:18 “Each time providing a new challenge and in some cases even providing new faces” *Canderous Ordo after never taking his mask off around the Exile* : “Am I a joke to you?”

So, to be clear, Bao-dur *did* survive the Battle of Telos and Malachor V? A number of people claim he died at some point during those events.

So he is the father of Nihilus

The amount of times I heard this dude say "YoUr'E sTiLl MiSsInG a LeNs" is unreal

You missed an opportunity to show the iconic conversation in KTOR 2 when you asked "how much do you know about [him]" "Yes general?" "Nevermind"

I love that these videos are coming out right after I finished my first run of kotor 2.

Also worth noting that by the event of SWTOR there is a big scientific prize named after him

Yeah Kreia is a traitor, but to be fair the she killed the Jedi Council for absolutely stabbing you in the back after going through the trouble of finding them to face the Sion and Nihilus. Bao-Dur might be my favorite companion in that game. It really is a shame that even with restored content, we never see his whole story. I'll believe he sacrificed himself in the assault on the HK factory, it made for a satisfactory ending where he helps take on a target that would have crippled the galaxy even if you succeeded in defeating Traya. And he still manages in death to put Malachor V to rest. Easily the best companion.

These videos are epic bro, the editing is great. Huge plays.

The asmr Zabrak (is that how you spell the speices name?)

I never really cared for him that much. Anton was my favourite companion in KOTOR 2, dude had a one-liner for everything.

That Bao-Dur died in KotOR II made me sad when I played it. I personally prefer the first game over the second, but K2 is pretty great too.

Bao-Dur ASMR video when?

It's a travesty that Bao-Dur wasn't a romanceable character, and yet they did give us the wet blanket that was the Disciple.

The Oppenheimer of the Star Wars universe

The guy with the coolest arm

Atton, Brianna, Visas, Mira, and now Bao-Dur. Mical is next!

So someone break this down for me like I’m a 5 year old, what happens to Bao Durr, I’m sure he dies but like how? He was fine one minute and gone the next

My first play through I turned him into a Jedi without even trying and on my second play through my only option was "never mind"....I did everything the same

I love ASMR Zabrak Also didn't he die in TSLRCM?

Was there ever an explanation why the Exile and Kreia couldn't read his mind ?

Is bao dur looking to his left in that drawn image? Or.... O.o

Isn't Bao-Dur the name of Sauron's tower in Mordor?

Ahhh Bao-Dur, the sexiest voice in the galaxy

Ulic Qel-Droma video would be cool

Bao-Derp

I thought bao dur died on telos during Nihilus's attack 🤔

Where are the lot more coming

Yes, general?

Yes general?

I love listening to this guy before bed on a regular basis. Been waiting forever for a new kotor game that will inevitably be messed up. Been replaying kotor over and over for years. Best games ever. Period. This guy’s commentary is so good that he could convince you that you were watching something real on the history channel

Excellent video

100% star wars I asked this I the previous video but would you be interested in having a one on one conversation about the high republic era?

I clicked on this video so damn fast!

Thanks, not vary familiar with this character

i like bao dur but his voice dub is sometimes sooooooooooooo slow and sleepy

Bao Dur can read me bed time Stories for sure

Yo when can you do the sith emperor

imagine he hearts this

I love these side story form videos

Noiiice mate noice 👏👏👏👏

Hey, have you checked out Yusi D Jordan? He's making a fan film and game based on Tenebrae, and the teasers for both are out on RU-vid. His stuff is underrated, so if you could promote him, that would be great :)

Amazing!!!

He's be cooler if he didn't whisper everytime he spoke. It gets annoying trying to listen to him. Otherwise he has a pretty nice backstory.
