Question[]
Should be add a note section and add that the name likely comes from the Jedi Bendu of the original The Star Wars script? It's not confirmed to my knowledge, but it seems a but obvious.

- I see no reason not to at least add to the Behind the scenes that the term "Bendu" has been used before in Star Wars lore. I'll do that now. ProfessorTofty (talk) 06:05, July 17, 2016 (UTC)
Name[]
I think this should probably be moved to simply "Bendu" with a modifier. I'm looking at the page about the panel and it say "A concept that originally appeared in George Lucas’s earliest drafts, the Bendu, according to Filoni is a new type of Force user in the galaxy." Therefore, I don't see anything to suggest that this guy is actually known as "The Bendu" with a "the." ProfessorTofty (talk) 14:00, July 17, 2016 (UTC)
- Now that the episode he first appears in has aired, I concur. All of the online material released after the airing of Steps Into Shadow (Twitter/Facebook, episode guide, and Databank entries) just refer to him as Bendu—there is no "the." Cevan

Move[]
SHouldn't this simple be moved to Bendu, and Bendu to Bendu/Legends? JagoAndLitefoot (talk) 02:19, November 13, 2016 (UTC)
- No, because the current Bendu page is about a set of beliefs, not an individual. Cevan (talk) 02:48, November 13, 2016 (UTC)
- Yes, but this set of beliefs does not exist in the canon, nor does the individual in legends. JagoAndLitefoot (talk) 02:28, November 19, 2016 (UTC)
- I think it's because this page was created long after the Bendu page was created, I don't think it's really all that necessary to move them. And it would make no sense to move Bendu to Bendu/Legends as that would be for a Bendu individual appearing in Legends, which would seem not to be the case --Lewisr (talk) 02:33, November 19, 2016 (UTC)
- I think canon should take precedence over legends, though, so perhaps Bendu should be moved to Bendu (belief system) and this to Bendu? Most new readers will be coming for the canon article. JagoAndLitefoot (talk) 03:55, November 19, 2016 (UTC)
- Perhaps so but it may be best to get the opinions of a few people before we go ahead with something like that --Lewisr (talk) 04:14, November 19, 2016 (UTC)
- There's no need for a debate. According to the naming policy, it should be moved. "If multiple articles of differing subject matter from both Canon and Legends compete for the same title, precedence shall be granted to the Canon subject, while any Legends articles will disambiguate via parentheses without the need for "/Legends" in the title." ProfessorTofty (talk) 04:30, November 19, 2016 (UTC)
- Looks like it should be moved then, was not aware of that policy so thanks for bringing that up --Lewisr (talk) 04:33, November 19, 2016 (UTC)
- I've moved the Bendu religion page to Bendu (religion). Bendu (individual) will soon be moved to Bendu. - Brandon Rhea(talk) 07:21, November 19, 2016 (UTC)

Force wielder[]
When he first encounters the Bendu, doesn't Kanan say "A Force wielder?" Couldn't that be the Bendu's species? Steed (talk) 00:43, November 14, 2016 (UTC)
- It could, but I doubt Kanan would be able to tell. Either way, it would be an assumption, so we can't include it in the article I'm afraid. -- Dr. Porter

Death[]
The article claims the Bendu died, but are we sure of that? His disappearance may be reminiscent of Kenobi's, but he has shown the power to vanish before (like Talzin). The Episode Guide did not say that he died either, so should we have a death date for the Bendu right now? (Zandris Hugal (talk) 14:04, March 27, 2017 (UTC))
