My take on the Bendu: I didn’t really like the character as he pretty much ended up being another one of those “neutral” characters who only help the good guys. He called himself the One in the Middle, either meaning he didn’t draw from the light or the dark OR he used aspects of both, which makes him a bit of a hypocrite. I would have loved to see him interact with Maul but when the opportunity presented itself he disappeared.
I hear you. I was curious to see what they might do with the Bendu, and it was sorta cool, but i feel like it just kinda went the easy way and he ended up dead (as dead as a Force wielder can be). Do you think we will hear from him again?
JEDIT: yes, you are absolutely right a Maul interaction could have been interesting. see if he really is in the middle.
