Bardottans were a species native to the planet Bardotta. They were strong in the Living Force and were very spiritual. When the Jedi took Force-sensitive Bardottan infants from their planet to train as Jedi, the Bardottans came to despise the Jedi and labeled them as thieves and kidnappers, as they believed the Jedi had taken the children against their will. During the Clone Wars, several of their leaders disappeared, prompting an investigation by Representative Jar Jar Binks and Jedi Master Mace Windu.
Religion[]
The Dagoyan Order were a group that were strong in the Force on Bardotta. Unlike the Sith or Jedi, they were not warriors. Rather, they focused on knowledge, intuition and the harmony of the universe, using their ability in a pacifist manner. The Dagoyan labeled the Jedi "kidnappers" when a group of Bardottan children were inducted into the Order, believing the Jedi had done so against the children's will.
During the Clone Wars, the Frangawl Cult kidnapped the Dagoyan Masters to sacrifice their Force energy, encasing it in a container to let it flow that was designed for their Great Mother. Queen Julia (seeing a vision of the Witch Talzin) called Jar Jar Binks for assistance, with the Gungan being accompanied by Mace Windu to thwart the plan. The mission was a success and lead to an improved relationship between Bardotta and the Jedi.- "The Frangawl ruled Bardotta with an iron hand for most of its early history. They were warriors. Some would call them barbarians, but in fact they were men and women of spirit."
