Incidently, Bendak was a Mandalorian. "
Funny you would say that. It seems originally Deadeye Duncan was supposed to survive the bombardment and escape the planet. You would encounter him later on Manaan. For some reason that encounter got cut before release, but it's still in the game and there was this mod to re-enable it. It wasn't really completed and so there was a glitch with it but it's still fun.

Yeah, Bio has a finesse for that sort of thing. The re-encounter with Komad (Tatooine--->Kashyyk), and Yuthura (Koriban--->Dantooine), were really nice touches.
The Opo Chano re-encounter in TSL (Telos--->Nar Shadaa) was HORRIBLY implemented. First he's standing at the docking bay shuttle at Telos, and he's in his apartment in Nar Shadaa, rinse and repeat. It seems they forgot to remove him from Telos and the conversation trees are representable of this.
