He’s literally credited as a padawan. He’s a Jedi. He’s just not as very good Jedi - like an awful lot of Jedi in this era, especially in backwater areas like this, where the Jedi Temple isn’t really around much to enforce behaviour codes more narrowly (and that enforcement can create its own problems). Also let’s be…

Yord gives off strong Cop energy. 

I actually really loved his doucheyness. He has a bit of Jesse Pinkman energy with the doucheyness cranked up another few notches. I think he means (relatively) well but isn’t exceptionally bright, and just tries to stick to the few things he believes are true concepts.

He is also really young and really inexperienced, which makes the quick draw more understandable.

I’m not sure I agree with your conclusion - keep in mind that the Jedi do not “recruit”, especially in this era, they “find” and “take” children who are Force-sensitive. They train all of these children. Some, like Osha, leave the Order, but most don’t. Even a mediocre Jedi like Yord will eventually reach the rank of…

I wasn’t into the look of the show, from the trailers, but watching it, it feels a lot like the prequels, in terms of look... only a little better, given tech is better now.

Take your star (while we can still give them out).

we haven’t had a single piece of live-action content since the original trilogy that isn’t about critiquing the Jedi order

Nonsense. The best Jedi in the show is the fat Jedi who let the bad guy walk right out the door under his nose. I suspect he’s a Porkins.

Your reading of that quote is off here. Yord is the one who thinks there is one way a Jedi is supposed to do things, not the writer of this article. He is the archetypal inflexible Jedi. The point here is that Yord is good at being what the order considers to be the Platonic ideal of a Jedi. Order above all else.…

Yord is not that; he is brash, quick to judgment, untrusting, suspicious.

Disagree. I really liked it. I’m not sure I liked how much of it felt like it was filmed in the volume, but over all I quite liked it.

My reading of Yord is that he is the walking definition of impostor syndrome. It doesn’t take much for him to draw his lightsaber compared to a lot of the other Jedi we’ve seen who seem to save it as a last resort. Deep down he’s obviously scared and it will be interesting to see how the series progresses if he can…

Stepping away from Wealth and Fame, while continuing to have it... whoof, gotta be great for that dharma...
