The Bendu from Star Wars Rebels is voiced by Tom Baker, the actor famed for portraying the Fourth Doctor. When I first learned this, I thought it kind of made sense for the Doctor to voice the personification of the neutral aspect of the Force. But now, I've made the opposite realization. The Doctor and The Bendu are complete and polar opposites. Both are incredibly ancient beings of immense power and vast knowledge, but what they choose to do with that time and power and knowledge is where they are different. The Bendu takes no sides in conflict, seeing it as futile. No matter which side wins a conflict, opposition will always appear and begin a new conflict, a never-ending cycle. In his mind, it is better to hide away and never stand for anything than to be embroiled in conflict after conflict. The Bendu is the personification of apathy. The Doctor always chooses a side in conflict, the side of life, the side that will save the most lives. Even in the smallest of conflicts, if he can make sure there is even one less body on the battlefield, he will do that. He has committed horrible acts in the name of preserving as much life as possible in the universe. He acts because all it takes to turn the tides of a conflict is one person, one person who cares enough to try to make a difference, and he will always try to be that person so that no one else has to. The Doctor couldn't be further from what The Bendu is.
