Dave Filoni Explains The Bendu’s Place On Star Wars’ Force Spectrum
By SANDY SCHAEFER
The Bendu in "Star Wars Rebels" is a huge, enigmatic creature that looks like a buffalo and claims that he exists between the light and dark sides of The Force.
As a being who insists that he's neither for the light side nor the dark, Bendu's reasoning isn't always crystal clear, as "Rebels" co-creator Dave Filoni explained.
Filoni explained that Bendu has a nuanced connection with The Force, like the Force Priestesses, who are "more like one person split into many different representations."
He continued, "Bendu is a little more in that realm, which I think is always an interesting character because they're unpredictable. He's not good and he's not bad."
