Just watched the episode. Was that a little Jurassic Park reference when they’re meeting the Bindu? Kanan says “He’s here.” and then the broken halves of the thumper are thrown between him and Ezra?
This was a good episode. I’m with both of you with regards to Maul. It’s annoying that they brought him back, but I’m glad that they’re at least doing something good with him now that he is. I can excuse a differing characterization considering he had basically no character in TPM and he also had many years of going insane on a junk planet to change from who he was in TPM to who he is now.
I’m digging the Bindu. I feel like Kanan is truly becoming a Jedi now: shedding the lies and corrupt decadence of the old Jedi Order and learning what it truly means to be a Jedi, a lot of which is thanks to Bindu’s wisdom as the middle ground between dark and light.
Something tells me he favors the Light over the Dark Side of The Force. Just the way he interacts with Kanan and the way he talks about the Sith and other Dark Siders makes it possible that he’s not actually Force Sensitive who favors balance.
Yeah I hadn’t really thought about that, but it makes sense.
I was kind of hoping that Maul would have gone to the Bindu and gotten the holocron from him without a fight to show that the Bindu was really in the middle.
He’s definitely more Yoda than Jolee (who was a Bindo, interestingly).
