The Badawans are minor antagonists in the LEGO Star Wars: The Yoda Chronicles. They are a group of young Dark Side acolytes and students of Count Dooku's Sith Academy, trained to match the Jedi in numbers, and are evil counterparts of Yoda's Padawans.
History[]
The Badawans were formed so that the Confederacy could have more Force users on its side. Six students of the Sith Academy on Mustafar were chosen as members. They proved too unruly for their mentors, however, mocking them and pulling pranks, and Dooku asked for Darth Sidious' help in subduing them. Once Sidious arrived on the planet with the Republic's forces, he came to the academy and disciplined the Badawans by using Force lightning on them. Soon, the Jedi and the clones attacked. Thanks to Sidious' sabotage, the Separatists and Badawans took the upper hand and almost destroyed the Republic's defenders, but Jek-14 came to their aid, defeating the Dark Side users (sans Sidious/Palpatine) and leaving them stranded in the middle of a lava lake. The Badawans were never seen again.
Trivia[]
- The group's name is a portmanteau of "bad" and "padawan".
- None of the Badawans' names were mentioned.
- The Zabrak Badawan resembles Savage Opress.
- The group includes an astromech droid, even though droids are never Force-sensitive (characters from non-canon comical stories like "Skippy the Jedi Droid" nonwithstanding).
