The First Jedi "Paladin"

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.

[@DreadfulUtopia]

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.

​@@GenerationTechdont lie you felt a rush of pleasure seeing his annoying ass get wrecked 😂😂it was the best part of the entire show so far 😂😂😂

[@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.

[@prince_nocturne]

"An acolyte kills without a weapon" Yord is the only Jedi to be killed without a weapon so far in this show. Meaning, in some twisted way, he was the truest Jedi of them all.

[@findingaether]

He was killed by Manny's big guns.

[@guillaume1130]

Honnestly, i went in the video expecting and entertaining deconstruction of Yord. But not gonna lie, this introspection made me view the character in a complete new light and made me cry honnestly. Awesome job, can't see Yord the same anymore.

[@kalvinravn8431]

Same here.

[@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

[@dib_human6151]

This has become one of my favorite Star Wars youtube channels ever since i found it The commentary you give is the type of stuff i like to hear, instead of the usual angry content that is everywhere nowadays

[@butcherpete2286]

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.

[@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.

The Acolyte has done a good job with the new jedi characters they created. Yord and Jecki died too soon.

[@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.

[@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?

[@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.

[@Scotts_Totts]

Imo Yord is just a very young Obi-Wan, especially in the books

[@shazammaster1]

Yord's "Osha run!" line really stuck out to me. He was about to be killed and when his attacker is distracted instead of trying to slink away he's fully ready to bring attention back to himself if it means Osha can get away.

[@daruekeller]

if they'd followed Yorg's plan to question the shopkeeper, they wouldn't all be dead now

[@prince_nocturne]

In that fight, I was laughing with malicious glee as Qimir cut down one jedi after another, knowing they were all just fodder. Then Yord died, and I had to pause and go "Oh... oh shit." And then Jecki. And I suddenly got how this show is going to go. It's not pulling punches, and Yord is the one that solidified that. He wasn't waving death flags around. I thought he would survive to the last episode, but no. I cared, and his death, like Jecki's, had meaning in the meaninglessness of it. A good man brought low by duty and a force no Jedi has been prepared for. Yord was a hero. And the real tragedy is... I don't think anyone will survive to remember that by the end of this. RIP Yord. You were a real one.

Yord’s idea to handle qimir was right: they would’ve known what he was sooner

[@eds1942]

1:45. I don’t think Yord actually did anything but put up his hand and made a gesture. The Captain just noticed it, stopped talking and froze, expecting something. 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.

I don't know why anyone would hate him. He is earnest, overly concerned with appearing professional and Jedi like, and obsessed with being a by the book Jedi because he doesn't have the natural talent and had to work his ass off to get where he is. He is also honest and honourable. He was a good guy that represented the inflexible hubris of the Jedi Order at their height but he had the potential to change and listen to others. Loved Jecki repeatedly putting him in his place but always felt bad for him because he was trying so hard and dedicating to being the perfect Jedi as he saw it. The way he went out compared to Jecki was the perfect representation of their comparative abilities and careers as Jedi. If we could keep one I'd choose Jecki but was very sad to see him go. He could have grown into what the Jedi order really needed. We need more Yords, maybe the Jedi's fate would have been different if he had lived and risen to a position of more influence.

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.

i love how u include personal stories into your video as it relates to the topic even if it doesn’t we appreciate it

[@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^^

Yord, Sol, Jekki, and Qimir are the reason I’m still watching the show, but now that two of them are gone it’s up to the other two to keep me interested

[@BEETTHESE]

I loved the fact that you stopped and fully pronounced crayons after saying crans. Reminded me of myself every time I try to say crayons 😂

[@JahbRaa-jh8cv]

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

[@RobertTestowy]

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

[@CheapAbyss]

Yord's death hit me like a ton of bricks even if I kinda saw it coming. I liked him from the start, he was the embodiment of the Jedi order. I love how it only takes one line to describe his character: Yord is just... Yord. You were right in your other video. He was ready to stand up and defend innocent people. He just wasn't ready to look evil in the eye and kill. And that's how he went down. RIP Yord

[@Buscat6]

I can't believe we got David Bowie references two days in a row, then got futurama reference too! Yet another reason to love your channel

[@durlan4529]

I thought Yord was awesome before, but after this video, I appreciate him so much more.

[@4RMULA_arch]

great character analysis, RIP yord.

[@speedygoat7428]

Watching this video makes me feel even sadder about his death because I relate to him a lot now. I go to culinary school and it's been very hard for me, but I feel like my struggle has never shook my passion and love for cooking. Additionally, a few of my peers have said I'm too by the books, which you described Yord as too.

[@GenerationTech]

As long as you never give up you can never fail :) good luck

[@Oceankage]

Dude just thank you. All I have to say. I could elaborate but I think you get why I’m saying this. Thank you.

[@MrPhilbautista]

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

[@coldpon3]

"Making napalm in the woods" gave me a violent flashback to my millennial childhood

[@ericm1335]

This commentary helped me better realize and understand why I liked Yord and connected with him so much. Tbh he's one of my favorite jedi so far in star wars.

[@jesusgbk349]

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

[@bethsanford9076]

Incredible! I did not see the depths of Jord, but I’m so grateful that you unpacked him for me

[@annamuller4730]

I loved Yord for being Yord!

[@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!

[@Illthallion]

Your effort in putting this video together is more than Disney put into the show itself.

[@bigsarge2085]

Yord, we hardly knew ye!

[@juliusnyny]

I was surprised at Yourd's death. He was, kind of, the comedic relief in the show.

[@Liv3W3ll]

Very, very well said. I have a new appreciation for Jiord now. I wish more of us had the insight that you have. Jiord was comedic relief by the writers and ironically deserved to be treated better.

[@paulgrasshoff5475]

Thanks for the great content. I'm not even watching the show. Just the GT commentary.

[@dramaturge231]

Great insight and empathy on this character.
