What If the Bendu Trained Anakin Skywalker

Bendu, the One in the Middle, trains a being created by the Force itself. Anakin is likely going to become a God here.

I half expected Anakin would have been trained by the Bendu as a child, but it makes sense that he was trained during the Clone Wars. Now for a new suggestion; what if Anakin was trained by the Force Priestesses? And What if Zoro trained in Three Saber Style?

In a way, Anakin is taking the middle path After all, Bendu has said more than once that he is "the one in the middle". Sounds like the best thing for Anakin

An interesting ending. Neither good nor bad, but in the middle. Fitting for the focus being on the Bendu, the purity of the Force itself, and finding the balance within the Force.

The Bendu might have trained Anakin better because the flaw in the Jedi and Sith was training for the standpoint of making someone weak in the force strong. Anakin as a child was already strong in the force. Anakin was like the genius child brought in a school midyear that no one liked and he was stuck in beginner classes, when he needed advanced classes in someways. Because of the even as Vader, he used the force bluntly. The Bendu would have shown him power and the taught him the finer, more detailed ways to use the force.

The Bendu is amazing ad the teacher Anakin needed to understand the middle and role of the chosen one.

What if Anakin was put in charge of training the clones with Shaak Ti

What if Shaak Ti investigated Tups chip malfunction with fives

What if Pente patrol was an old republic era Jedi and was frozen on carbonie and found during the time of the naboo crisis

Swear iv said “The Order of Skywalker” before and i love the concept

What if instead of a Zillo Beast, the Republic instead found a Xenomorph Queen? #21

Day 60 of asking for: What if Revan wasn't found in stasis until the first year of the clone wars? That would mean that Revan in his prime would be alive and well, and Darth Vitiate's spirit would still be dormant since Revan didn't awake his spirit at Yavin.

What an interesting ending, I specially enjoyed the concept behind Temperance. What if Korkie was force sensitive and taken by Maul as an apprentice after Mandalore fell, not knowing he killed Satine while also holding a grudge against Bo Katan for her hand on everything?

What if Shmi Shkywalker had a brother? What if Bail Organa told Leia the truth about her birth parents? What if Caleb Dume died during order 66? What if the Jedi banned Anakin from seeing palpatine? What if Shmi Skywalker was a descendant of Revan? What if Ezra Bridger encountered Luke Skywalker while on Tattooine?

I like to imagine every time the Bendu appears his theme song is literally Kai's theme song from Kung Fu Panda

I see the Bendu training Anakin to be that of a double edged sword: On one hand, Anakin “could”reach his full potential (if not close to it, like 75-90% of it) at a rate not impeded by the orthodoxy (and distrust) of the Jedi Order (especially from the Council) nor manipulated by the Sith. Anakin would be extremely powerful, if not deemed “godlike” like Valkorion (who needed rituals and extended lifespans worth of training to get to his position, whereas Anakin just needed to hone his potential to the fullest). However, here’s where the double edged sword part “could” come into play. Just as we’ve seen in Rebels when Kanan asked Bendu for help against the Empire during the Battle of Attolon, with the Bendu repeatedly refusing as he claims to be neutral (“I am one in the middle, I take no side” “I Am Unseen, Unknowable, Like A Rock In The River”). It took provocation from Kanan calling him a coward for him to be spurned into action (only true to form he served as a neutral threat to BOTH parties, as he destroyed at least a Rebel craft while targeting Imperial vessels). So essentially, Anakin’s compassion and the desire to bring about change to the galaxy is going to be extremely tempered (especially IF the Bendu is strict on the whole balance act). He won’t be aiding the Sith by any means, but Anakin wouldn’t be pressed to aid the Jedi either. Bottom line: Anakin will be a powerful NEUTRAL party in the galaxy, neither Jedi nor Sith; neither Rebel nor Imperial; neither Resistance nor First/Final Order (as he is likely to possibly live a long life, NOT guaranteed immortality by any means, but could live for a long time).

Thanks for this!! I love it when u explore the more mystical/ spiritual side of Star wars... There are some life lessons in here actually. Looking forward to more like it!

Gear video the Bendu is underrated but I would have never thought of this What if anakin was a sepratist general/led the CIS What if Anakin was the sith’Ari What if Anakin was frame from the temple bombing

Wow that was quite the spiritual story.

Par t2 sounds like an idea to me where the actual mother breaks out but honestly this is one of the best stories top 3 for me
