I definitely want to see more stuff on Tarr Visla, but I sure as hell wouldn't mind if we got to see Bardan's story play out in animation or live action either.

[marshalllatta]

This is so cool i wish we seen this mandalorian Jedi in star wars

[Adenn]

Bardan appears in Legacy of the Force (Caedus arc books) calling himself Gotab, with Venku, the son of Etain and Darman, both of whom feature heavily alongside Jusik in the RC books.

Technically Grogu is the only cannon character to choose the mando life over the Jedi, but I though it would be cool to see either this character or one like them in The Mandalorian session 3. Have an episode where they explain lightsaber lore, talk about how joining a tribe where you never show any outsiders your face was a good way to hid from the empire, and show Din how to wield the Darksaber. It would be a good chance to expand on the different Mandalorian tribes too.

[kingnamor]

That is a incredible story indeed. I can definitely see that happening in the Star Wars galaxy. Also many Star Wars fanfictions stories have OC Jedi characters leaving the Jedi order to become Mandalorians.

[keithallver]

While not technically a Jedi Grogu was a Padawan that chose to be a Mandalorian over being a member of Luke's new Jedi order.

The republic commando novels have always been one of my top favorite groups of starwars books they are exceptionally good and bardan jusik is a awesome character. It is truly horrible that Karen never finished that series! Imperial commando 501st ended with obviously needing at the minimum one more book if not more. I've always been bummed that she never finished that series it ended years ago

[curtishouze]

He loved his men as individual and not as property. So I can see why he resigned from the Jedi order, and I can see why he was welcomed to the Mandalorians.

[MongoSmash]

If you like this concept, I highly recommend the Karen Traviss Republuc Commando books. Just another example of Legends having great writing

[richietribe]

A clone or jedi: *thinking or doing stuff that the council doesn't support*
Kal Skirata: "Your warriors will make a fine addition to my collection"

[MirorRflction]

I think this character would be a really cool addition to show up on in Mando S3 as a way for Din to possibly learn some basic lightsaber forms

[TenchiBushi]

Mandos accept everyone in their fold. Bardan Dussik is one of my favorite Jedi (former Jedi). He even trained Venku in the force. Venku along with Boba Fett developed Jaina Solo further in her training.

[davidgriego]

I really liked this story i though it was very interesting that a jedi through his beliefs decided to leave the order and become a Mandalorian, i hope it eventually becomes Star Wars Canon

[MultiArchangel]

I would love to see Grogu become both a Mandalorian and a Jedi. That would be cool. I would like to see a special sect of Jedi that have Mandalorian roots.

[melkor]

A philosophical conversation between Qui Gon jinn and Bar-Dan would be a pretty cool thing to see as they would have had some common ground in some cases

[chrissangenette]

He appears as an old man In the Legacy of the Force series. He's part of Clan Skirata on Mandalore and helped raise Venku Skirata the son of Jedi Knight Etain & Clone Commando Darwin. Venku helped train Jayna Solo to confront Darth Cadeaes.

[Mr.BlueMacaw]

honestly this sounds so cool and if i were a jedi that grew a lot more attachment to another group or the mandos i would probably see if i could join them too

[zeppale]

i love the video. I would love more thought on why the Jedi counsel could not see that they were slipping away. When some Jedi could see it.

[InfiniteNaos]

Well Mr. Wave it’s now been confirmed that the true Way of the Mandalore is accepting others through a creed not just being native born. It’s understandable that native born Mandalorians would make their own clans with others and eventually accepting those that aren’t native born so long as they accept the creed of honor, respect, war, and death. Quite similar to the Yaujta culture now that I think on it.

[driverbrayer]

I’m not sure if this information is out there yet about Din since everything is new about him but it would be really great to know about the Mandalorian who saved him and their back story. Hopefully we get to see this in season 3 but if not that would be some great knowledge to know.
