Dude it’s like Jedi get +5 Wisdom points for having a full beard lol

It's interesting that the Bendu's eyes are milky white, almost as if he himself is also blind and that he's teaching Kanan the see the same way he had to.

In this episode, Kanan Jarus is beginning to be a true Jedi, not because of has happened to him, but the way he sees others and how to be a better person. For it is the way of a Jedi to see what to do next after their own defeat.

Kanan looks cool with a beard

I love this guy, added coolness, he's voiced by the fourth doctor

“You must empty, there is only the Force” - this is why Kanan could finally “see” Hera. Filoni confirms it was not a literal depiction of dead eye cells coming back to life, but more spiritual.

Rebels legit has some of the coolest and most mystical interpretation of the Force in all of star wars.

Spiders. Why did it have to be spiders

“If you can see yourself, you will never truly be blind”. Bendu

"I am one with the Force, The Force is with me"

Rebels is so good. That self-realization was heart wrenching.

Honestly I'm so much more invested in Kanan as a character than Ezra. I'm not sure if that's the intended effect or what, but I feel like Kanan is more of the main character. He's a recovered alcoholic who went on to try his best to complete his training (keep in mind, he was a Padawan when Order 66 happened), and he has almost no chance of defeating the Empire, which I'm pretty sure he knows. What's more, he's still trying to teach Ezra the ways of the Force, despite the fact that he's not even a Jedi Knight until later into season 2. During the final fight with the Grand Inquisitor, instead of attacking out of anger when Ezra dies, he calms himself and gives in completely to the Force, which I don't think we've seen happen in Star Wars canon so far (correct me if I'm wrong). The temple guard scene gives us insight into what he might actually think in the back of his mind. "You will die, your apprentice will become a servant of evil". Yet he presses onward. And then Maul blinds him, and we get this beautiful scene right here. I think blinding Kanan was arguably the best move this show has made so far. And it feels like all Ezra has done is whine for three seasons lol. Yes, he has some development going on, but his changes that were noticeable in the season 3 premiere have somewhat gone away over the course of the season, whereas Kanan has really become wiser and more Jedi-like. Wall of text over

This is what happens when you learn from the Fourth Doctor, you succeed.

Freddie Prinze Jr was absolutely phenomenal in this scene. I’m really able to feel Kanan’s fear and uncertainty as if it was my own every time I see this

Is it only me that loves Bendu as a character? Whoever did the voice acting is amazing at what they do.

Obi Wan Kenobi's right your eyes can deceive you don't trust them!

New Rahm Kota confirmed.

Toph should teach him. Twinkle toes

"I do not need my eyes to see you JEDI!"- Count Dooku

Haven't been a fan of rebels but like the Clone Wars, it's getting better with it's later seasons.

Kanan being blinded surely was one of the more interesting twists on the story

And in the end.. due to his sacrifices, the force returned his sight.. And he was able to see the ones he loved... one last time.

2:02 It's... it's just awe-inspiring. Kanan's look and movement, voice acting, music... the message. Personally, I think it's one of the best scenes in all of Star Wars.

they have all sorts of cybernetics to replace limbs and body parts in star wars but no eye cybernetics?

Kanan "keep it as a gift" Next day "hey so i need that gift back"

Rebels was a decent show that couldn’t quite hit a consistent mark but any episode that had Kannan development was always enjoyable. Loved watching him grow

Kinda reminds of Tom Bombadil for a reason. The one ring didn't bother him at all, though he really wouldn't be able to use it either.

he's now Daredevil!

bendu has become one of my favorite force wielders....the one in the middle.....his humor combined with his knowledge and then his wrath......he cares for nothing but serving the will of the force

kanen is a fast learner. he learns how to see again in a few min when others would have taken days or weeks to learn.

Guess it makes sense. Who better to help with an affliction than a Doctor?

As someone who is blind I love this. This is great character development for Kanin. He becomes a better jedi and person and teacher after this. If only Grogu was here for this lesson. That self realization at the end was wonderful and sad. He owed Bendu a big debt for helping him to reconnect with his emotions and the force and his friends.

This is like Fourth Doctor porn... I never thought anyone would be better than the Tenth Doctor droid but DAMN if ol' Tom didn't knock it out of the park...

So... Kanan is basically Daredevil

I love how Bendu puts an emphasis on "Jedi Knight" words directed to Kanan, after Kanan comes to realise he's not truly blind anymore.

This Bendu teacher was amazing in this short scene. Such power and wisdom.

0:38 Watch out Toph- you're not the only one who can see with their feet.

Is that giant alien Tom Baker???

I love the bendu

“It’s not in their nature.” Tell that to the Rebel pilot they killed.

Man, I really hope we see Bendu again in the future. Maybe in the Ahsoka series or something. He was a great addition to this series and I really loved how they wrote the character.

The Bendu is indeed a wise and interesting being. He is so close, and yet so far from understanding.

this is more of what i want star wars to be like. More relatable philosophical teachings, less flashy swords

Tom Baker is perfect for a Star Wars role, just as he was for Doctor Who.

"Do you feel them in the Force? The JELLY BABIES?!"

this guy was my favorite character in the show besides the returning characters

Better teacher than Yoda!

3:38 "Yeah laugh man and then after 20 episodes rage and become a force storm

Some of my favorite episodes in this series was with Bendu! Such a powerful being

Love The Bendu so much. Great scene. I get some serious Falcor/Giant Turtle never ending story vibes here.

Loved this episode, makes Star Wars deep

All I want is for Kanan and Cal to meet they share sooo much in common

Tom Baker is truly a legend.

Goddamned feels!! It's scenes like this why I love this show!!!!

Title correction - The Doctor teaching Kanan how to see.

Then they brought the spiders back as terrifying beasts in Mandalorian

rahm kota! wait, wait...this is all new, never seen before exercise of Disney's creative freedom.

fun fact for those who don't know the bendu is voice by none other then the 4th Doctor himself Tom Baker.

those spider things are adorable^^

2:22 When Kanan senses Ezra in danger he is so worried and that’s why I love the two of them together!🥰🥰🥰

Ive alway wondered what it would be like if Ashoka ever met Bendu, like what would they talk about, seeing as how they're both balanced Force wielders.

What an amazing Jedi. I learned how to see a long time ago lmao.

He's a good therapist

I loved the rebels, it was a good continuation from the Clone Wars and the good Dr is always with us 👍😁

That bit where he says what Kanene smelt was a 'fascinating description' makes me think. Why's it fascinating, and is there gonna be one of those twists where somebody else comes to the Bendu and its just a pole of rocks or a skeleton or something? I love the Bendu though :3

kanan looks so badass with the eye mask and the beard

Those spiders are so cute.

I freaking love Bendu!

Woah. Tom Baker as the Bendu. Crazy. :D

alternate title : man opens his eyes, is amazed

Hearing the 4th Doctor speaking of Jedi and the Force is just... it's something that brings a tear to my eye.

This is beautiful.

It doesn't feel real to hear the voice of my favourite Doctor in Star Wars

Fine. I'll watch Rebels again.

3:11 That leitmotif appears in the Season 4 finale of Rebels countless times...

kanan was without a doubt the best character of the show he starts off in s1 as insecure and unsure of himself as a teacher and through s2 as well but by s3 he becomes much more sure of himself and he becomes so much cooler after he was blinded he was more calm and wiser and I just absolutely love his development that he went through sabine also had a good character arc in s3 and 4 and hera was fleshed out good enough too with everything about her relationship with Cham and zeb started out annoying but he got better chopper was always the same and ezra was whinny and then he became edgy for a couple episodes and then went back to whinny rebels is a good show and it's different from clone wars cause it's about a group of characters we never met before if you haven't it's worth a watch but don't hate on it cause it's not clone wars that's just annoying and hivemind brainwashing

Wait is that.. Tom Baker? *gets run over by doctor who fans*

such a delightful being

this is true Star Wars beauty.

the spiders are on High ground

kanan should learn sage mode ,lol

I just love these all-knowing hermit types in Star Wars: Yoda, Old Obi-Wan, Old Luke Skywalker and of course The Bendu

The bendu is such a great mentor to kanan even though that his master died

it feels bad that Cal Kestis (from jedi fallen order) didnt done a force thing like that because he ran into areas with different creatures and he just killed them, or the game made u kill them

whos watching star wars rebels while reading my text

I like Kanan I think he is a true Jedi master

Wanna know something cool? Tom Baker, the fourth Doctor Who incarnation, IS THE BENDU'S VOICE ACTOR!

Cancelling Clone Wars was a huge mistake, the show had evolved so much and had a lot more to tell. Rebels is only now getting truly interesting with that amazing season 2 finale. I'd love to see the studio take on events from the Old Republic even if all it is was a mini series. And just FYI, your best episodes in both Clone Wars and Rebels are when you're not pandering to 7 year olds. It's still kid friendly it's just that some of your episodes feel like Dora the Explorer with lightsabers.

I WANT THE SITH HOLOCRON

Love kanan's kenobi beard :D

in this episode I love the background music

20 seconds after losing his sight: fends off maul in battle using force Months after losing his sight: i cant use the force, send halp Ugh the writing thru all of all of

Kanan is chirrut imwe

I love this rebels was so good

new kid of jedi. i Love it!

so bendu just reminded the jedi of the basics? is advanced knowledge in force even worth the effort if the most basic shit is the most powerful?

Where is this series going? I love the show but how does it relate to Film canon? I hope that a proper connection is eventually made

If every episode in rebels was as good as this, I would’ve definitely considered watching it a lot more than I did.

this is beautiful
