Yore Fandar was misunderstood…

Yord Fandar is the ideal image of what a Jedi Knight during the High Republic should look like. He is clean cut, disciplined and has an air of superiority and confidence about him. But, if we look deeper at the character, there's something hidden behind that confidence. Unlike other jedi in the order, like the much younger and more talented Jecki Lon, things did not come easy for Yord. This jedi knight clearly had to work his ass off in order to obtain his position.

Honestly after watching this I feel even worse that he died now. The guy did his best, didn't put others down, always took criticism on the chin, fought bravely and never disrespected his superiors. He was a model Jedi and the Jedi Order is weaker for losing him.

[@darrellwebb5310]

The Jedi are corrupt. Always have been teror merchants.

[@LucianPosey]

he would’ve been a better Jedi in another era , He’s a little lacking in swordsmanship but he seemed strong with the force , if he was alive during the clone wars era him getting more battlefield experience would have made him a more competent Jedi IMO.

[@marcthunder]

he's the perfect metaphor for the point of the story they're telling. he was honest to a fault, well indoctrinated to the jedi code, and a bit heady with his power and authority. and died at the hands of a sith!

[@Beachboy757]

I totally agree

[@ShockerTopper]

He also loved pointing his lightsaber at things like it was a cane, he should have worn a top hat and monocle to complete the look. It’s a meme how he always has to light up his saber at every opportunity, just so ridiculous and stupid. Also a scholar at every level with his knowledge of Star Wars and Anakin blowing up the Death Star. That host could’ve saved him from looking stupid and didn’t…and for that I’m grateful haha

[@stephenstetler3324]

If this weren't an 8 episode run, we'd get episodes around characters like Yord and Jecki, giving their deaths more gravity. In absence of that, we have Generation Tech, and for that I'm thankful.

[@Trey-dp6tl]

Yeah. I’d love for Star Wars to start making 16 episode seasons instead of a movie broken into parts

[@B.matrix]

Completely agree. And don’t forget that Yord had the good sense to leave his own padawan behind. He saved her life.

[@prince_nocturne]

It may not have been his choice. She was also left behind when retrieving Osha after the prison ship crash. But I do think he also consciously made that choice, too, since he took such personal responsibility for it. Maybe even relieved that he didn't have to bring her against someone he thought was dangerous a second time. I hope we get to see his padawan one more time, someone to remember Yord for the hero and genuinely good person he was.

[@laughingowl7896]

I knew guys like Yord in the infantry. Very good, knowledgeable, disciplined garrison soldiers who handled their assignments without questions. Yet, while mostly competent, they were uninspired in the field. I was exactly the opposite. A very good, knowledgeable, inspired field soldier who achieved objectives and made suggestions. Yet, while mostly competent, a pain in the ass in garrison.They made rank while I avoided losing it. As we spent much more time in garrison, they were better adapted to the Army's structure and flourished, while I languished in boredom and beer. They managed in the field while I came alive. And both types of soldier are necessary. Kudos to Yord.

Perfectly described Yord vs Jecki dynamic here. Kudos to the writers getting that so right.

[@TheMichaellathrop]

So a tangentially related thought, if you replaced the words I and Jecki with the Jedi Knight and the Padawan when your was stating his plan to question Kimeir do you think it would sound not only like Yord's plan was very by the book but quite literally out of a textbook or SOP manual?

[@Celestial_Reach]

Gotta love Allen for this, heck I deep dive these things, but I'd have passed by yord for the next several times watching the series. I keep wondering if yord brought his Palawan to the forest that day.... cause if he did, he was following orders after having a small part of his soul torn when she was finished. But his 1 one goal was to save the citizen as he was told to, someone in over their head. That wasn't for his safety I don't think. It was all for oshas safety

[@ryankwon8785]

People who are about to die show who they really are. Jecki is a brave person and Yord is a kind person who is willing to sacrifice himself for others. Also, Sol does care for Yord. When Yord was killed, Sol went on a rage frenzy.

[@NoFormalTraining]

A lot of comments I've seen online about Yord had people write him off as an idiot, I didn't get that impression. I felt he was in over his head, especially given he was basically a newly minted Jedi Knight and therefore not as experienced as other, more seasoned Jedis. The fact he figured out how to use the helmet against its owner showed he was a lot smarter than a lot of people thought he was. He died defending the people he cared about, and I really wish he (and Jecki Lon) was still alive.

[@Wezqu]

I would say all of them who went to the planet even Sol were over their heads. Only ones who overcame that was Yord and Jecki. Jecki almost beat "The Stranger" in one on one fight until he pulled a trick with slitting his lightsaber into two and slaying her. Yord using the helmet against "The Stranger" shows he had good battle sense but he underestimated his enemies physical fighting prowess and got his neck snapped. "The Stranger" is not a master clearly. No darkside master would be losing against a padawan and only winning by using before unseen trick.

[@Ben-Ken]

I don't think Yord actually violated the Neimoidian's mind. It looked like he faked it until one of them got nervous and told the truth.

[@harleyclarke7211]

I thought the same thing l. They were terrified already.

[@IdenNonya]

Anakin move.

[@Trey-dp6tl]

Yord makes me think of Captain Holt. Someone who does everything by the book because he’s already at a disadvantage and can’t afford having to give his superiors any reason to have a problem with him. Whereas someone gifted like Anakin or Jake Peralta can afford to bend and break rules because they’re too valuable for the chain of command to get rid of

[@Trey-dp6tl]

To add on to this, if you want a real world example of someone talented getting away with breaking rules, look up the paratrooper, Jake McNeise of the Filthy Thirteen. Guy broke every rule and even beat up MP’s and the Army still wouldn’t kick him out because he was just that good and they needed him

It has been years ago, but I seen this short 40minute WW II movie set in in an alley and courtyard with a building clearing. Filmed on location while the city was doing roadwork.

[@para_magnus2200]

Honestly Yords death was super surprising for a few reasons. First is that he was set up as a main character in the show so I was expecting him, Sol and Osha to survive the fight. Second is just the sheer brutality of his death. We don’t often see someone have their neck broken like that in Star Wars. Usually it’s with the force or something. It was genuinely shocking and gruesome. Honestly it’s a shame cause I did want to see more of him.

Yord struck a cord with me and a lot of it was just about how he very clearly did everything he knew to do to be a good Jedi knight. He did what he was taught. How he was trained. He cared about the people of the galaxy, clearly. And that's what led to his death. He was a compassionate man who put others ahead of himself. He was a good Jedi knight, and in his death he was failed by the Jedi. Not himself.

While the other gave up the information Yord asked for. Such was the authority and reputation that the Jedi had back then, that all they had to do to get down to business, was raise their and look confident.

Great tribute, great video

[@VyzraSchattenmond]

Oh, now I am crying for Yord. I liked Yord. He was that by-the-book and bit of a dork Jedi. I also sensed that there was something beneath his demeanor. Thanks for putting it into words :) And just when you started to really like him, episode 5 comes along. I started to really like him in the scene, where he talked about the language he learned. Everyone learning Wookie and he decided to learn the language of the tracker. It felt like his one 'not out of the book' thing. Maybe it was something were no other youngling would have made fun of him, because if he's the only one studying it, he's the only one excelling in this lesson. I wish they were more episodes to get to know the character a little bit more, but I kind of feel like they did this on purpose. "You start to like this character? GoT is not the only show, that can hurt you!" More episodes building on characters like Yord, like you did, would have messed me up in the latest scenes^^

For only 5 episodes to get to know them, Yord and Jecki's deaths hit the feels more than Tech in BadBatch that we had two whole seasons to learn about imo. Especially the little dropkicking fireball😞

[@GenerationTech]

you had time to mourn tech tho, you don’t want to go back to that episode

[@nextlevel49]

Beautiful episode.

[@dylanc6856]

Thank you for this awesome explanation and in-depth overview of Yord. I liked his character more than I thought I should for him just being a generic rule following Jedi at first glance. This explanation helps to explain why I liked him that I wouldn't have probably figured out on my own. Definitely more sad about Yord & Jecki dying than I would have been if Osha and Mae died.

[@CoolDudeProducts]

Dude, thank you so much for covering these characters in depth with your knowledge and added ideas. I was worried we wouldn't get any deep dives on Yord cause he's from the Acolyte and the internet decided we must hate it. Anyway, this was a breath of fresh air. Thanks, great analysis. I would add that I thought Jeckies death overshadowed Yord. I wish they’d split those deaths up and focus another 5 min on more character development, but regardless I’m a big fan of the episode, and the character of Yord.

[@umptibum3863]

Alan, great job at pointing out the amount of grace that Yord carried himself with! Until this video, I hadn't felt his death was anything other than particularly brutal. But now I feel a loss for the character that makes me sorry that the Star Wars Universe won't get to see him grow and become something more than a cool name for a fan club.

[@kumiho4970]

I really appreciate your mentioning of your personal experiences in relation to the habits and deep dive into the character of Yord. I watch your videos not because I always agreed.with you, but because I really love how deeply you consider the subject.

[@dramaturge231]

Great insight and empathy on this character.

[@Fedaygin]

13:15 Strike back for every 'Adult' Star Wars 'Fan' who mocked the brief talk between Jecki & Osha at Jedi ship 🙂

[@ElementalShogun]

Dude I'm super glad I found your channel! I was about to totally skip the Acolyte, but your breakdown... Idk there's something there at least to enjoy!

[@MrPhilbautista]

Honestly, if Ki-adi Mundi could make it to the High Council, that's a pretty low bar.

[@jesusgbk349]

Football, basketball, made napalm in the woods. 😂😂😂 You sir are a legend

[@MrBeardedgelfling]

Yeah after watching this I have a new found respect for the character and greater sadness at his death. I kind of knew all the stuff you said but sort of mocked him for it as I didn't take the time to really think about what it took for him to become this character, what his life would have been like before we meet him. And that gave me a new found sadness at his death.

[@Jcewazhere]

Jord == Sturm Brightblade. Tries to be the ideal knight so hard he puts the others to shame. While also feeling inadequate to the ideal.

[@jessewetherbee9057]

Love how everyone skips over the "make napalm in the woods"😂😂😂😂

[@andreataylor797]

i really emjoy your insights. your laid back persuasion has me willing to give this show a chance

[@YakoTheGoat]

Excellent character discussion

[@khandimahn9687]

RIP Yord and Jecki, we hardly knew you.

[@RobertTestowy]

I really like Your take on Yord. It made the show better for me.

[@MrRich2u]

Great Video, one of your best, I think.
