Lived in Miami, ran into the Bendu there. He’s not dead, just chillin on north beach. Semi-retired, using the force to turn the pages of his US Weekly so he doesn’t have to put down his marg. Had some killer shades, gave me the name of the place if you want it but it’s on O Drive and for the price he said the hassle really isn’t worth it. Irregardless, he seems to be thriving
its ok he actually sent me this postcard after this morning

Can't belive Kanan was angsting so much over his sitation that he woke a god-like figure up from a deep sleep.
Bendu literally called Kanan to him just so he could tell him to shut up in person

The thing about the Gray Jedi that doesn’t work is that you can’t be 50/50, that’s not how the Force works.
The Force is an incredibly simple magic system, honestly. Good people (Jedi) gain Good People Powers through working on themselves and helping people, and bad people (Sith) gain Bad People Powers by making themselves miserable and hurting everyone around them.
You cannot be a good person and have Bad People Powers like Force Lightning or whatever because those powers literally come from causing and exploiting people’s suffering. The Gray Jedi just don’t work because the Force is a dichotomy. There is the the Dark Side and the Light Side. You cannot be both, and if you could, well, being 50% evil is not a good thing, actually.
At best, you get something like the Bendu from Rebels where he’s just like, the worst kind of bystander. He has a ton of power and strength and he refuses to use it for anything, he lets everyone else be miserable, he lets the world get worse because he refuses to pick a side in a world that demands he have one. And at worst, you get Anakin Skywalker in RotS who is flip-flopping between light and dark, killing an unarmed prisoner one moment and risking his life and the Chancellor’s to save Obi-Wan the next. You get someone desperately unstable and uncontrollable who lashes out randomly and extremely destructively, pulling himself deeper into the Dark because he refused to choose a damn side.
Being 50% evil is either a step towards being 100% evil or it’s just… nothing. Utter passivity, refusal to do anything because it disrupts the ‘balance’ that never actually existed because good and evil are not equal. There’s no real nuance there, it’s a simple magic system, but that’s because it was made for kids! Look it up, GL has said all this before.
Anyway, yeah, being half evil kind of inherently precludes you from being a good person.

Remember on Atollon when Bendu said he saw Thrawn’s defeat? “Many arms surrounding you in a cold embrace”?
We know this comes true in the rebels finale, but how cool would it be if his ultimate defeat also holds true to this prophecy? In a different way, hopefully (it would be a bit boring to do the purgill again), but whether it’s in the Ahsoka series or a Mandoverse movie or whenever they decide to end his story, it would be so cool to see the prophecy reach through his entire life.
