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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

" .. friends .." since they were doing Weapon-X program flashbacks, agreed they should just get a talent pool of armature actors/stuntmen, or a short 5ft3in stocky guy with a lot of cousins to do a Wolverine series. Like .." Tales from the Crypt " .. tv series with two or three short 12 to 15minute horror stories. a.) Stuntmen/body doubles are used for back view filming of the actor running when you don't get face close up. So six to a dozen guys wearing latex face masks to look all related then voice dud when needed. Logan, " Looks like six miles of bad road on a good day." Huge Jackmen was just too much of a .. pretty boy .. b.) Weapon-X site, create four cheap thrown together sets with the whole concrete scrap/plaster look, then have one clean set with the other few as a bad acid trip look. Remodeling/paint dressing as needed. Everything is meant to look like distorted memories anyhow. Such scenes can easily be film with stand ins. c.) 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. If the camera ran a few yards off action scene, you saw modern cars drive buy. It was an armature college film. It looked ... Real .. ! Not everything has to be a couple few low million $ budget.

That is where Thomas Wayne meet Alfred as assisted field medic and border patrol. Then jump to Adam West Batman, who later marries Catwoman and jump 14years ahead you have the Nanny. Catwoman is the Nanny. CC the business partner who always gets burn by the butler is Vicki Vall or .. Supergirl. 2.) D&D/Star Wars gaming shop, ..

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.

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.

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.

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.

Damn, this actually made me a little bit teary-eyed. And can we talk about how brilliant Yord was using Qimir’s helmet against him to short circuit the red lightsaber? Ultimately leading to him getting his neck snapped, but that was bold and thinking outside the box!

Yord is one of the most sincere characters in the Acolyte, similar to how sincere Mando is. They both truly believe and live their values, and are willing to sacrifice themselves for those they protect, if need be. Yord is definitely underated and his death hits hard.

Additional point: I'd also like to point out something I realized. "An acolyte kills without a weapon." Yord is the ONLY Jedi killed without a weapon so far. Meaning, in some twisted way, he was the truest Jedi of them all.

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.

one of my favorite moments in the acolyte so far is when yord uses the cortosis helmet against qimir having just faced the use of the helmet in the heat of battle he was able to take in that detail and go for the helmet when he returned to the fight. it didnt work out for him in the end but that was quick thinking and could have made all the difference in taking the sith down if things had lighted up better

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.

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.

Wow! That was a very interesting analysis of Yord. I did not like the character and was not sad to see him go, but I never saw him in the way that you described. Now, with your insight, I have a different perspective on Yord and far more empathy towards him. Thank you for taking the time to present Yord from your perspective. I am now feeling that the Jedi lost a good knight that day.

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^^

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.

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

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 suggest I put together a tactical team to assist you in your inquiries. Don't look at me like that, Master Ki-Adi Mundi, I know enough to take your opinion on anything and do the exact opposite."
