10 Star Wars Characters With Most Wasted Potential
7. Bendu
Much is made of the light and dark sides of the Force, but what about the soft, squishy middle?
The white stuff in the Oreo of the Force is occupied by the Bendu, a mysterious being that is first shown in Star Wars Rebels. Claiming to represent the centre of the mysterious aura, this gigantic creature served as a mentor to Kanan Jarrus after the Jedi lost his vision.
The Bendu's appearances occur solely in the third season of Rebels, turning up in the season premiere and vanishing in the finale. In this time, he is shown to be extremely powerful, extremely knowledgeable, and extremely old.
Someone you'd probably want to keep around, then.
Sadly, Bendu hasn't turned up in an official capacity since 2017. The early days of the Force remains a fascinating topic, so you'd have thought this ancient character would have been used to explore that a bit more.
Will we ever see this enormous fuzzball ever again? Who's to say, but at least one fascinating bit of trivia came from his time in Rebels.
The character was voiced by Tom Baker, meaning that the Fourth Doctor has been in Star Wars.
Nice.
