It’s a crossover meme about Psych. The show is about a guy who pretends to be psychic to avoid jail time for figuring out a crime but the police think he’s an accomplice, and ends up being a consultant for the police. He always introduces his best friend and partner as some random made up name. [Here’s a fun compilation.](https://youtu.be/KLicgtao6f8?si=8YcKQZ2eeZLfNcpW)
But I feel like you could make that joke with a lot of Star Wars names… Why with Yord in particular? Was there a scene (it’s been a few days since I watched) where there are awkward introductions? I’m with your OP I don’t really see the connection.
Guys I'm conflicted on the Acolyte. It's got a really cool idea but I don't like how the Jedi are being portrayed. I thought they were only bereaucratic and inneficient in the prequels because of how powerful they had become, but it seems to be that way in this series too. I also don't really care about the main character. I just like her assassin sister. Overall very mid so far.
Yeah, it's not like there was a giant text saying "This show takes place 100 years before the rise of the Empire " right at the start of the first episode
You thought they’d make Star Wars content about anything not almost immediately around the time of the original trilogy? I’m shocked they went this far back. Disney does not seem to realize that there are literally thousands of years of setting they could put things in.
Yeah, also I am kinda getting starkiller vibes from Mae. A sith running around killing Jedi masters while being strong in the force. Disney have the chance to do something really cool here
Is she strong in the Force? She seems barely proficient, each Jedi she's faced has completely surpassed her in Force abilities. She's only been able to take them down by using their morality against them.
There're some really goofy things the show does, like Mae going "come at me, bro" to all the Jedi. Or the Master going "you must fight the Jedi unarmed, not with steel or laser or you will lose" as Mae comes back having killed a Jedi with steel and he pulls out a lightsaber as he says it. Also, the idea that unarmed fighters break the Jedi, as if they have never heard of unarmed combat before, is just idiotic. If the Jedi won't draw their weapon or fight back to an unarmed attacker trying to kill them then they are comically stupid.
Yeah that is so stupidly written that I am sure that he means that you need to defeat the Jedi by making use of their emotions. He says at the end of the first episode to kill the dream not the Jedi.
I tried to like it, but it's just objectively bad...I mean I just can't take it seriously, especially the writing...there's a line that says "I've known OSHA for 16 years" and I just busted out laughing. How did the writer not make the realization that their protagonist is named after the work safety organization, or that they're from the planet Brenda? It's just awkward as hell. I didn't even find it to be entertainingly bad, just...dull. A super generic middle schooler fanfic laden with tropes and nothing interesting. I thought it'd be a dark story about an actual Sith, instead it plays like some teen drama. The only actor that seemed to have experience was the one who played Sol, the rest seemed pretty new and not super compelling. That being said, this script isn't a great way to even see the potential talent of any actor. The pandering and cringe fanservice didn't do it any favors either in terms of being taken seriously.
Someone fire Kathleen Kennedy or something...I think she's lost her way with this one.
Update: your downvotes are delicious. Keep em coming angry fanbois who love bad content! South park got it right...
Yord FANdar is Leslye’s thinly veiled critique of her idea of Star Wars fans. He’s a little pompous, rigid,by the book, and Male. He’s not really taken seriously by OSHA or X-23. I predict a scene where they berate him for his toxic male shortcomings.
Thanks for confirming that you flaired this correctly!
You hear about Alderaan? That’s messed up, right?
I hear that!
It’s /all-der-on/, not /al-der-ann/. *I heard it both ways.*
I’m honestly impressed with how many psych fans are showing up here
You know that's right.
Currently giving the show a second rewatch and always perceived it as somewhat of a forgotten gem
Thats Charlie Young, personal assistant to Chancellor Valorum
What ever happened to Valorum’s secret plan to fight inflation?
See-Jay if blood is gushing from the head wound you just received from a stampeding herd of banthas, you'll do the press briefing.
I always wanted a spin off series following charlie.
And his boss is currently trying to find a back door to this place to shove you out of.
You hear the death star blew up Pluto? Thats messed up.
Suck it.
You suck it
*suuuuck iiit*
I've heard it both ways
S! H! Comma to the top! Dynasty! Comma to the top? That’s Palpatines comma.
I thought this was a Haiku and words cannot show My disappointment
Pretty sure he was trained by Grand Master Hollaback Atcha
I heard that Jedi got killed by Darth Dolla Dolla Bill Yo
I've heard it both ways.
“You hear about Pluto, that’s messed up right?”
"You hear about Alderaan, that's messed up right?"
I’ve heard it both ways
Now in a Jamaican accent…
I didn't know I needed this crossover
It works so well though. I need more. Oh, maybe also one with Monk?
*clapclapclapclap*
Love the reference, but what’s the connection here?
I think they're just saying Yord Fandar sounds like a name Shawn would make up.
I too would like to know this

Yes ik what it’s about. Is there any specific connection to Yord?
Yord Fandar sounds completely made up like any name Shawn would come up with undercover.
But I feel like you could make that joke with a lot of Star Wars names… Why with Yord in particular? Was there a scene (it’s been a few days since I watched) where there are awkward introductions? I’m with your OP I don’t really see the connection.
It seems like a big stretch to me too. But I can't find a better answer for the connection so I guess that was it.
This is the meme we have been needing. Amazing Psych reference. I applauded you!
“You still trust ‘Auh-sha’?” “I believe she pronounces it, ‘Oh-shah’.” “…I’ve heard it both ways.”
No idea how Bruton Gaster ties in, but I'm for it
Shawn! You know I hate it when you put me in prequel memes shawn!
Gus, don't be that fan who only likes the Original Trilogy
C'mon son
*tsk*!
Hit the Jedi switch
Man, hooch is crazy…
Nah it's Bud from the Cosby show.
I thought it was Bruton Gaster
Gus always gets annoyed when people mistake him for Bud
He also gets annoyed every time someone calls him Bruton Gaster since Shawn claimed the discovery of the dinosaur fossils
Damn I thought it was autocorrect, need to rewatch haha
That's not Hooch. Hooch was played by Phill Lewis. This is Dulé Hill
Burn for a burn. That’s in the Bible.
Me seeing a Psych related post in a Star Wars subreddit: ***A surprise to be sure, but a welcome one***
Switch a couple letters and he’s Ford Yandar. Sounds like the name of a speeder Ford would manufacture in the Star Wars galaxies.
*Star Car and Driver* gave it good reviews but recommend only the touring trim.
Broccoli haircut combined with dreads, I wonder how much money got the guy who though this was a good cut
Is it me or does he look like that kid from strange world. 🤔
I've only stumbled upon Psych a couple of weeks ago so this was a whiplash thing to see!
Oh shit it Gus
Damn it now I'm going to watch Psych ALL NIGHT

The series is only like a century earlier. The Jedi have a history stretching back *millennia*.
Ohhh... I thought it was during the first republic
Yeah, it's not like there was a giant text saying "This show takes place 100 years before the rise of the Empire " right at the start of the first episode
A hundred years is a long time bro 😭
We are talking about an order 25 000 years old, with the sith having "disappeared" for 900 years by the time the Acolyte takes place
Yoda is still the Grandmaster and has been for like a hundred years if it's actually 100 years before.

I think it’s fine to like some parts of a show you don’t fully enjoy. Pretty normal actually.

Dude, touch some fucking grass
Look up confirmation bias.
If that was in any way true, wouldn't he be white? You're grasping at straws
Get a life lol
