He befriended Kanan Jarrus months after Kanan lost his sight in a battle against Darth Maul. So just who or what is Bendu? Where did he come from? What's his deal? What We Knowīendu is a creature of tremendous size whose physiology allows him to blend in perfectly with the odd geographic features of Atollon, the hidden planet where Rebels' Phoenix Squadron was based.
Zeb's design, for example, is based on an early concept for Chewbacca. Lucasfilm's head of animation (and Rebels co-creator) Dave Filoni has shown an affinity for incorporating old ideas from Lucas and Ralph McQuarrie early concept art into his shows - particularly Rebels. Of course, all of that has been wiped out by the new continuity. One such tale suggests that the Jedi are successors to an ancient order called the Bendu monks. It was there that Lucas first identified his lightsaber-wielding galactic peacekeepers by the name "Jedi-Bendu." As we all know, this was later shortened to simply "Jedi." But the term Bendu has popped up several times over the years, particularly in the Legends materials that are no longer canonical.
Outside of Star Wars continuity, Bendu's origins can be traced a long way back, to a very early draft of Star Wars: A New Hope. Voiced by the great Tom Baker (the fourth Doctor on Doctor Who), he is a creature of immense size and equally enormous power. Bendu or " the Bendu" as he likes to call himself, was a major recurring figure in Season 3 of Star Wars Rebels.
