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.

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.
Yeah. I’d love for Star Wars to start making 16 episode seasons instead of a movie broken into parts
Completely agree. And don’t forget that Yord had the good sense to leave his own padawan behind. He saved her life.
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.
@@prince_nocturne if Sol survives maybe he’ll take her as an apprentice to “make it right”
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.
The Jedi are corrupt. Always have been teror merchants.
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.
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!
I totally agree
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
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.
Yord was great, I was legit sad when he was gone. Same with Jecki. It may not be the deepest show ever, but the actors did their part well.
Same
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.
Same here.
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
He and Jeki are two of the hardest deaths. RIGHT when we were starting to get feels for them! RIGHT when they were having their hero moment!
To be fair their deaths certainly got rid of the plot armour in this show
I cheered when they get wrecked because they are annoying and weak characters and the acting is terrible
@Darthdoodoo soooo just like the rest of star wars?
@@appletree13 Plot armor.. Plot armor.. Plot armor.. 🤭
@Darthdoodoo oooh wow, what an edgy kid you are. Good for you for pissing in someone's cereal bc of their genuine love of a story. You must be so proud.
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
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.
"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.
He was killed by Manny's big guns.
This morning I unsubscribed from a TH-cam channel that posted a vid stating, “Anyone who supports any of Disney Star Wars is trash. Disney Star Wars is trash.”
I immediately “Disliked” and unsubscribed.
Generation Tech has by far become the best channel for analyzing Star Wars comprehensively without relying on toxic fandom clickbait tactics.
Greatly enjoy this channel!
All my homies love GenerationTech
I discovered this channel yesterday and I really enjoy Allen’s approach. But I still find people like Critical Thinker and Nerdrotic to be entertaining. Balance is a good thing.
This dude has another channel generation films right? His breakdowns on the expanse are some of the best side content for me.
Yord Horde unite! Thank Alan what a great send off for our boy.
im gonna miss yord
Yord and jekki seemed to have some character development. I hate the show but I did like them. I feel like I'm watching the walking dead how if you start to like a character they kill them.
@@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 😂😂😂
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
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
@@Trey-dp6tl aka McNasty .. ?
What I read, they should create and name a medal after him.
This guy was the Frank Castle/ Wolverine of his era.
@@krispalermo8133 I’ve actually compared him to Wolverine in the past. I’d love a movie about Wolverine in WWII where he acts like Jake McNasty
@@Trey-dp6tl I came across Wolverine back in 1989 when I was 12.
My .. " .. 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.
OMG the two guys rolling down the staircase with a small camera hided under mess cloth made me afraid of stairs for a few days.
Head canon, ..
Sitcoms, the butler and snarky little girl pair off duo.
Benson, Fresh Prince, .. and then there was The Nanny.
It felt like listening to a chalkboard being scraped listening to the Nanny.
Head canon.
Mash tv series, comedy of doctors working in a military camp just behind the frontlines.
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, ..
Comic series G.I.Joes and Transformers, yeah cool concept.
Throw in X-men and Sentinels.
Sentinels were first built to fight Transformers, and the threat of giant alien robots trigger humans meta gene creating mutants.
Problem with Superman and giant robots, heat/Xray vision that also pumps EMPs. Make eye contact and burnout sensor equipment.
Then you have Storm & Thor, lightning can burn around 3,000f.
So many flaws for giant robots.
Alan continues to be my go to content for some casual but penetrating takes on Star Wars. Thanks pal!
we start with star wars and we tend to drift ;)
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.
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.
together we're always stronger
Perfectly described Yord vs Jecki dynamic here. Kudos to the writers getting that so right.
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?
Damn after seeing your thumbnail about this video you must really need some money...@@GenerationTech
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.
I thought the same thing l. They were terrified already.
Anakin move.
I also thought this
I think you're right.
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.
The Acolyte has done a good job with the new jedi characters they created. Yord and Jecki died too soon.
At this point now I go to generation tech as my safe place, as everyone else is so bitter and negative
You need a “safe place” on the internet? I can’t imagine how you are in public…
@@douglaskelley4486What do you mean? People are actually much more tame and nice face to face than on the internet 😂
The internet is so toxic, we all need a safe place here fr
Wise words friend.... Wise words.
@@douglaskelley4486yo like you haven’t seen the crazy shit the vocal die hard Star Wars fans have been saying amongst like, all Star Wars platforms. It’s rare to see fans like Generation Tech giving such fair and honest viewpoints, ofc they’re gonna find comfort in him bcus he doesn’t need to be overly negative and whiny to get his point across.
@jcr1842
Sadly, Star Wars fans have always been like this. For those of us who were at least teenagers when the prequels went to theatre we remember how they treated George, Hayden and the other actors of the prequels. They trashed the prequels the same way they trash Disney Star Wars. They only hype it up now because they hate Disney. I've been following Hayden's career since he was in the prequels and trust me these Star Wars fans have not had kind things to say about him until recently.
Imo Yord is just a very young Obi-Wan, especially in the books
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.
12:27 I love the hand gestures Jecki does here
😂 yeah and yord tries to stop her from talking before with the hands as well
@@GenerationTech bahahaha😆I didn't even see that gesture til now! Fantastic & funny detail!😂
Dude was the perfect jedi , which is why they kept getting purged so easily .
Imagine if they had put the fake apothecary on the ship like Yord wanted to, sure, maybe he and Jeaki might have died when they tried but maybe the other 6 or 7 Jedi and the Wookie Jedi might have not been killed.....
Jord space cop, " You are under arrest. "
Qimir, " For what ? "
Jord, " Running a very questionable Head Shop."
Qimir, " What I have is perfectly legal in this sector of space. I can sell some to you for a really good price."
Jord, " You been seen in 16 different star sectors in the past five months."
Qimir, " Dude you need to get out more, those were rock music concerts, I have tickets Bro."
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.
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.
These memorial videos are great! Really deepening my appreciation for the show.
Liking the video sight unseen then watching it. I just enjoy your optimism.
Yord was one of the best things about this show. The actor was really good. No problem with him mind reading that guy, Yord knew he was lying.
Always look forward to your videos, Allen. I may not always agree with you, but I love hearing your opinions and takes. They’re fair and honest, and well thought out. That’s rare in the Star Wars discourse. (And we have similar senses of humor. Great Futurerama references, lol)
i mean yes, but because the jedi self regulate that's not a great look
In my personal opinion Yord is an extremely weak character played by an actor who doesn’t even know the lore and thinks the Death Star was destroyed by anakin skywalker a joke just like this show
@@drewolson3873Dude makes one mistake in a interview and he's suddenly terrible.
@@drewolson3873 Many actors aren't super deep in the fandom because they're usually too busy doing their job as an actor to get that fixated on someone else's job.
@@kennykim8000 Cute straw man -- it's always amusing when someone takes something as simple as "he doesn't know Star Wars" and uses it as a Hitler analogy.🙄
If Jiord was around the beginning of the Clone Wars, I don’t think he would’ve survived during the Battle of Geonisis
he might've made it to the circle at the end, a lot of it was luck and how proficient they were in form iii. He actually seems like someone who would've drilled the hell out of all the forms
I would disagree because he displayed great adaptability to the sith situation, being able to survey the sith's abilities and counter or utilise them, like when he used the helm to short out the lightsaber
@@AlexanderYoung-bh1nu aye for a few seconds but he would so not survive against General Grievous
With some luck I think he would have. He's a competent swordsman. He actually holds his own against Qimir unlike Jedi who were older and more experienced than him. He's got enough adaptability to realize what the helmet does and deploys it in a good way.
I concur.
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.
Your description of Yord's personality is hitting home with me so much it's shocking.
I haven't watched the show yet, but u feel like i really should now.
What a lovely and fitting ulagey for that handsome, dumb, good man....R.I.P.....unless.....you don't think....???? I mean, if maul survived a halfing....(or 'halving', you say Elfish, I say elvish)
im going to be honest. he might be always so serious and thats rough but i would have really liked to see him see what the jedi really are like and stay in the order to try and make it better from within ... an older wiser man
I would not mind a prequel story that portrays Jackie and Yord when they where young competing for a place as padawan and or knight. When we have seen young Jedi (Like Ahsoka and Cal) we have mostly seen those talented and easy learning younglings who made quick work through the ranks but rarely those who struggle to even make the cut. I would also like to see younglings who dont make it into padawan and has to live theyre life as temple guards or simular unfancy work in the temples. J.
u SEE, you are touching on the special moments of SW - the story within the stories. Although a piece of work may not translate into views or even be good content, you seem to reminds us that there is more to SW than lightsaber duels and Darth Vader. I will go back and watch this series from eps 1 again with a different mindset. THANK YOU for being the calm voice, with a flask of whiskey on your desk!
Coruscant Night ftw 😋 Or hmm this could also be Nar Shaddaa where Alan relaxes in good quality Casino before goes back to that room 🙂 I don't support gambling & therefore i mean he's doing non gambling things in there. Shady deals with Rodians & such 🤔
if they'd followed Yorg's plan to question the shopkeeper, they wouldn't all be dead now
Honestly, the only redeeming quality of the Acolyte is creators such as yourself that take what I consider a mediocre and frustrating show and craft great content.
we'll see the last three episodes will make or break this, show could end up being mediocre and disappointing after a high point midseason like ahsoka, or they could stick this
@@GenerationTechAsohka went really high and really low it was a whiplash. This show at least is consistent which makes watching it week to week more enjoyable even if they're sticking it close to "meh", imo.
Wonderful analysis. I dismissed Yord right away, but you helped me see how much I missed. Well done.
Yord’s idea to handle qimir was right: they would’ve known what he was sooner
This is so good. I don’t usually see YT content that makes me appreciate something in a different way. Well done.
Very much like an Obi-Wan Kenobi.
I have several close family and friends who are in the military, and are just like Yord. Exactly how you explained the hard work, dedication, and structure they needed. Because of this his death hit me hard.
When I saw Zach, and then you said Congo send another one, I died, as the kids say. WATCH FUTURAMA KIDS
One of the best things Master Shake ever said was his comment about how no one wanted Futurama until Adult Swim started airing it and then it got taken away by another network.
Yord's padawan was missing from mission... being of her species, I wonder how she will handle the news...???
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.
you made me appreciate Yord a lot more. thank you!
Dude just thank you. All I have to say. I could elaborate but I think you get why I’m saying this. Thank you.
I love the view out the back window. brings me back to Nar Shaddaa. I love Yord's yen for his job, he cares about his craft and he's proud of what he's accomplished without ego. It's a shame he got lost because I feel like the High Republic Jedi would have benefited from his attitude and perspective.
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.
Way to go and make me have even more feelings and sadness now for the guy….Deserving tribute to someone we may have just written off without getting to know.
No pun intended but master sol is the soul of the show im gonna hate if he has to die
He is also the ‘sole’ survivor of the 8 Jedis that fought Qimir.
@@bursegsardaukar lol it jus gets punnier
This is yet another phenomenal character analysis. Thank you for these in depth and nuanced looks into my two favorite characters from this show.
Yep. Yord was not the sharpest knife in the drawer, but he was doing the right thing all the time. Somethimes slower ont he uptake, but he for example was the only one to notice OSHA stealing away in the temple and followed the suspect - which then meant that he could testify to her being blameless in a very suspicious situation.
Love how everyone skips over the "make napalm in the woods"😂😂😂😂
The Jedi code is ridiculous. I do like Jiord though. Kinda pissed off that he was killed along with Jecki
I never understood why Yord was shit on so much by everyone around him or why Master Sol allowed it to happen and even participated in it. Or why Jecki, on her first mission, was allowed to take the lead even after coming up with weak plans and executing her parts in them poorly. I almost feel like we were supposed to dislike her and maybe even cheer when she died.
There was some seriously wasted characterization developments with these two. Which rolls back to the show's problems .
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.
That’s a great take… I only took jiord as a “by the book” guy only
He gets points for using the helmet as a shield. Alan, you get points for the Futurama and Lego references...👍
The Jedi are a bunch of quitters. When the going gets tough, they run and hide. Yoda quit, Obi Wan quit, Luke quit, half of the Jedi involved in getting Osha, quit. I mean honestly at least Leia was actively involved in the rebellion fighting the empire. She could have just lived the comfortable life of a senators child. But as an untrained force sensitive she fought. The rest of the Jedi just went in to hiding.
Yoda survived. Then he gave Luke the perspective he'd need in the future.
Obi-wan guarded Luke, watching over his old friend's son, then sacrificed himself in order to prepare Luke from beyond to confront his own father.
Luke recreated the Jedi Order, in an even better form, and continued to serve the galaxy. Until...
Disney changed the entire franchise.
Yord's death hit me harder than Jeki's, you could see the fear in his eyes as he reluctantly followed Osha back to the fight. In the end he overcame his fear with a final act of bravery.
*RIP Jedi Knight Yord*
The "crayon" struggle is relatable. After many years of saying it the first way I'm always correcting myself or hesitating to pronounce it correctly.
I'm gonna miss both Yord and Jecki a lot. I think the last time I liked any completely new Star Wars characters this much this quickly might've been when Din Djarin debuted.
Yord in the Council - TPM is over before it even starts.
"Master Qui-Gon, you report a Dark Side user you suspect to be a Sith lord? That sounds improbable, but we have to take this seriously. 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."
🤣🤣🤣
Jecki and Yord's deaths hit me kind of hard. Well done, Acolyte, well done.
I still don't get why the Republic just allows the Jedi take away force sensitive babies from their citizens it just seems like a violation of their rights as parents.
in their defense they seem to get permission from the parents. In the witches case they just didn't like anyone else teaching the force to children. That does seem a bit over the line especially when they're not even in republic space.
@@GenerationTechYeah that's what I'm saying if the Jedi are acting the Republic's de facto police force they should at least have a civilian oversight committee in the Senate.
@@thorpeaaron1110 yea exactly that why i actually like the message of this show which is really about power dynamics we'll talkk about it more in the next one
@@GenerationTechYeah I agree this show really shows the need for the Jedi's role in the Republic government should definitely be more legally defined because at the end of the day they are monks acting as police officers with little to no regulation.
Right from the beginning i liked Yord, he ended up being my 2nd favorite character in the show, With master Sol being my favorite on the show, and I dare say, hes becoming my favorite Jedi. They did a good job with 70% of the show. I personally think that the witch coven wasnt a big deal, growing up, if you were a male, and you didnt watch female on female, you got called a guy lover 😂😂😂 crazy how things change. The only real issue i have with the show, is Mae and Oshas actor. Not what she said IRL, i really do not care, im an adult. I just really did not like her stiffness, or her acting most of the time. Her line delivery isnt like, horrible, but when she stands there with her chest out, eyes wide like shes seen Vader just wreck the Tantiv 4
Thanks Alan I really appreciate your insight on Jacki and Yord. Also the sharing about
the different alien races and their cultures.
I have to say I'm pretty much a face value
Star Wars fan. Yeah there are certainly somethings I find off putting (Being Polite)
in certain recent production. But for the most part. 🤷🏼♀️What are ya gonna do? Start
a War!!!! Well that being said, did you say
making Napalm on the woods? 🤔 Just Curious! Thanks again.👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻😂😂😂
Now I can’t say for certain about the actor, but I’m pretty sure that Yord isn’t in his 30s
Yord definitely wasn't incompetent. He may not have been the most naturally gifted, but he put in the work. He got where he was through diligence and focus, and I respect the hell out of who he was.
My boy allen always making relevant real world comparisons 🤙
Still waiting for that Johnny Drama “VICTORY” in one of your videos 😂
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.
13:15 Strike back for every 'Adult' Star Wars 'Fan' who mocked the brief talk between Jecki & Osha at Jedi ship 🙂
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!
Generation Tech 5-ever!!!!💛🧡
That's a new way to say it 😂
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 was the only non-Sol/non-Outsider character that I liked. I was kinda sad they killed him off.
Alan, is that a bottle of booze next to your computer? Have you been drinking?
Jedi being Jedi will always be cool but the Acotyle's main story and pacing is just terrible. The main plot lets down the side characters...
I enjoyed your analysis of Yord. I was shocked at how Yord went out. My only issue with your video was how many times I have to see a shirtless Yord . LOL. I don't know what's worse, a shirtless Yord or a shirtless kilo Ren.. I can't unsee that. RIP Yord and Ben Solo.
There are also some historical examples of the person who is not naturally gifted but works hard to get good enough. It makes me think of Manfred von Richthofen, today known to most as The Red baron (a moniker that most likely was never used in his lifetime, because everyone knew perfectly well who he was. Manfred started as cavalry in 1914 but soon wanted to become a flyer. He became an observer which meant he sat behind the pilot, handling clumsy cameras, threw some puny bombs by hand and manned the defensive machinegun.
But he wanted to be a pilot and started training with a friend. But unlike many of the early combat aces of WWI he was not a natural. He was clearly not a gifted pilot. And when he finally got to make his first soloflight it ended in a crasch. But he presisted, trained and in the end even got selected by the leading german ace, Oswald Boelcke, to join his hand-picked fighter unit.
From Boelcke he learned that tactics are more important than flying skills and that it was the team that mattered. He took these lessons to heart and soon became commander of his own fighter squadron and it was then that he painted his plane red. While becoming a skilled pilot most agreed he was not the most skilled when it came to handling an aircraft, that was Werner Voss.
But Voss died when he tried to fight about 6 enemy pilots in total alone. His skill kept him in the fight for a long time and his opponents all agreed they had never before seen anyone being able to do the things he did with his aircraft. But his opponents were also veterans and most important of all, they stuck to using tactics and working as a team and in the end, they nailed Voss.
Thing is, had Manfred von Richthofen got caught in the same situation, he would have made a run for it as soon as he could. And he probably would not have gotten himself into a fight like that without his wingmen.
But Manfred von Richthofen became and remains the most famed and well-known fighter pilot in history with his 80 confirmed kills. There were others that were his equals, most of all the french pilot Rene Fonck, who had 73 confirmed kills. But if you go for total numbers of claimed kills they ranks more or less equal. It was just that Manfred were lucky to have witnesses present that could confirm his claims more often that Fonck. Fonck was more of a lone hunter but he relied on tactics and knowing his aircraft in and out rather than aerobatic stunts. Manfred was more of a teamplayer but also put tactics first.
Fonck was known to be difficult and sometimes came of as arrogant. But when he was put in charge of a training a group of new pilots he put to work with his focus on details. He made sure they got the chance to fight and intervened only when it was necessary. And he never lost a single one of his "padawans".
Manfred got injured and could have gotten a safe deskjob. In fact his superiors wanted him too. But he simply refused with the question. "When does all the soldiers in the trenches get out of there? As long as they have to stay and fight, so shall I."
When he got shot down, it was because he got tunnel vision thanks to his own cousin who was totally green got attacked. He seem to have forgotten all of his rules for air combat and chased the attacker long in over allied lines only to be shot down by ground fire.
The knights of the air is nothing but a fancy myth but the story show that indeed, the guy who is pretty crap but who keeps on training and take the teaching he gets to hart can end up being the best in the end. Because no one even remember Werner Voss, who was probably the most gifted of the german pilots. But gifts and skill will only get you so far if you do not combine them with tactics and teamwork.
Honestly, if Ki-adi Mundi could make it to the High Council, that's a pretty low bar.
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!
Thanks for the great content. I'm not even watching the show. Just the GT commentary.
What those work hard with no talents when young And end up poor and how do explain NBA NFL who had natural talents
Most professional athletes are a combination of natural talent and good work ethics, lebron, koby, jordan were all fanatic in training and kind of assholes. Take a look at a guy like aldon smith he was destined to be one of the best edge rushers the NFL's ever seen, he was in and out of jail, had multiple felonies and ultimately had a pretty lackluster career. There are plenty of great talents in juco football that just couldn't get their sh** together.
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.
This is purely speculation. There are so many things you said which haven’t actually been proven. Still love your content though as you seem to be the only pure Star Wars TH-camr
Now that I think about it if they did Yords plan it could’ve baited out Qimir as the Sith/Acolyte earlier on
Yord, we hardly knew ye!
Very very relatable 100% I got promoted and I’m one of the oldest in my class
I felt bad for him but at the same time not surprised and not sad. He was a straight and narrow kinda guy but was led by some very blindsided leadership.
0:31 why I'm still around. My "friends" are tired of me calling the Jedi bad. At least the order we are familiar with. Maybe around when it first began things were different but not today
Alan, thank you for your insights here, I see more of Yord now.
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.
i swear you futurama clips made so nostalgic i now stop watching your video and will go straight to diesney plus has been years since i watched that show
hehe i used to think of it as a sci fi version of the simpsons, but now that i'm older i appreciate it even more than the simpsons
@@GenerationTech same for me, don't even watch simpsons ans Zep probably is the most futurama character of them all.
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 😂
I thought Yord was awesome before, but after this video, I appreciate him so much more.
It’s ok to not like someone but most of Yord’s critics online haven’t taken the time to consider that in another era, Yord would have been Obi-Wan.
I enjoyed your analysis and commentary. Was an interesting point of view of the Yord Character.
The tragedy of Yord, was just as he started to act and be the least bit interesting in the show, they killed him off.
