The Bendu – The One in the Middle by Patty Hammond

With the release of Star Wars Rebels Season 3 on Blu-Ray and DVD recently released, I thought it would be good idea to reflect one of the new characters introduced during this season, The Bendu.

There is not much known about The Bendu even though this character appeared in several episodes within season 3. Basically, he is an ancient force wielder, who has seen much of the Galaxy. However, The Bendu has not been an active participant in the Galaxy for some time, preferring to sleep on the planet of Atollon until Jedi Knight Kanan Jarrus woke him up. What we do know is that he is not Jedi, not Sith, but ‘the one in the middle’.

Whenever The Bendu appeared in Season 3, he was always giving advice to Kanan or Ezra about the nature of the Force from his point of view. In the season 3 premiere, Steps Into Shadows, he gives this advice to Kanan about the using the knowledge from the Sith Holocron that Ezra obtained at the end of Season 2…

During the events of the season 3 finale, Zero Hour, The Empire attacked Atollon, and Kanan was hoping that The Bendu would be an ally in fighting The Empire. Instead, The Bendu, became angry at both sides of the conflict because as ‘the one in the middle’, he did not want to get involved in their conflict. Turning into an angry storm, The Bendu attacked both Rebel Alliance ships trying to escape the planet and The Empire Forces trying to capture them with powerful lightning. In the end, Thrawn, the leader of the Imperial Forces, was able to stop The Bendu’s attack and bring him down to the ground and confront him. However, after this confrontation, The Bendu disappeared without a trace.

Overall, The Bendu is an interesting new character added during Season 3 of Star Wars Rebels. I have no idea if this character will appear in the final season of Star Wars Rebels or if we will learn more

about him from other sources.

What do you think of The Bendu? Do you think we will learn more about this character?

Did Paul Freeman Accidentally Eat A Fly In Raiders of the Lost Ark?

The Famous Indiana Jones Fly In Belloq's Mouth Scene. Did It Really Happen? I've always wondered if Paul Freeman unintentionally consumed a fly in this scene in Raiders of the Lost Ark ? It's the scene where Indiana Jones shouts down to Bellosh...I mean Belloq and threatens to blow up the ark. Did a fly go in his mouth? I remember watching this scene back in the early eighties and my ten year old mind thought he definitely had a snack while filming. I recall talking about 'flygate' in my school playground at the time and the general consensus with my friends was that Freeman definitely had a sneaky snack. Paul Freeman talks about the famous 'fly' scene in an interview with TheIndyExperience.com and settled 'flygate:' This is a bit of a dicey question so don’t get too upset. (Laughs) A movie’s always got bloopers in it, some have a lot, and some only have three or four. And the most remarkable blooper was right before the opening of th...

Explaining That "Weird" Cut In Poltergeist. Read The Missing Scene

Why Is There A Strange Cut In The 1982 Horror Classic, Poltergeist? If you're a fan of the 1982 Horror classic, Poltergeist then you will be very familiar with that "weird" cut in the movie. It's 32 minutes and 47 seconds in to the movie and the scene is where Diane is explaining the strange phenomenon that is happening in the kitchen. First, she shows to Steve a chair scraping across the floor all on its own then she does the same with Carol Anne. Steve leans up against the kitchen wall and is completely shocked at what just happened. It's at this point Diane starts to explain the sensation of being pulled and then...A very abrupt cut. One moment we are listening to Diane and suddenly it cuts to Diane and Steve at their next door neighbours door. Why the sudden cut? It's on the VHS, DVD, Blu-Ray and even the streaming versions. Why does this awful and weird cut exist in the movie, Poltergeist? Watch the clip below to see the cut...
