The 2025 Star Wars The Black Series Jedi Knight Yord Fandar figure brings one of The Acolyte’s most disciplined and visually striking Jedi into the Galaxy Collection with a sculpt that captures the High Republic’s refined ceremonial aesthetic. Yord is a Jedi Knight defined by precision, formality, and unwavering adherence to the Order’s structure. His presence in the series is sharp, composed, and methodical — and this figure reflects that through its clean lines, layered robes, and crisp portrait.
Where characters like Sol embody warmth and mentorship, Yord represents the institutional backbone of the High Republic Jedi Order. His robes are immaculate, his posture is rigid, and his lightsaber technique is disciplined and exacting. The sculpt embraces that identity, giving collectors a figure that stands apart from both the Prequel-era Jedi and the more improvisational characters of The Acolyte. The result is a release that expands the visual and thematic range of High Republic Jedi within the Black Series.
Technical Details & Sculpt
Overall Sculpt & Proportions
Yord’s sculpt is built around the High Republic Jedi Knight uniform — a layered combination of robes, tabards, and subtle armor elements. The proportions are faithful to Charlie Barnett’s on‑screen presence: tall, upright, and composed. The layered robes feature crisp folds, reinforced seams, and textured fabric patterns that read beautifully under directional lighting. The tabards drape naturally, creating a sense of movement even in neutral poses.
The silhouette is elegant but structured, with the belt, shoulder armor, and hilt attachment adding visual interest without overwhelming the design. The boots include sculpted tread patterns and reinforced segments, grounding the figure in the rugged environments of the Outer Rim.
Head Sculpt
The portrait is one of the cleanest in the Acolyte wave. The likeness to Charlie Barnett is sharp, with expressive detailing around the eyes, brow, and jawline. The photoreal paint application enhances the sculpt, adding natural skin tones, subtle shading, and depth to the expression. The hair is sculpted with clean separation and texture, capturing Yord’s precise, well‑kept appearance.
The expression is stern but controlled, reflecting the character’s disciplined nature and unwavering commitment to Jedi protocol.
Body & Outfit
The robes are a highlight of the sculpt. The layered tabards, reinforced belt, and subtle armor plating all contribute to a design that feels ceremonial yet practical. The belt includes sculpted compartments and a clean buckle, while the boots feature reinforced segments and tread patterns. The overall design is cohesive and cinematic, grounding Yord firmly in the High Republic era.
Articulation
Yord’s articulation system supports both dynamic combat poses and calm, authoritative stances. The figure includes:
- ball-jointed head
- hinged neck base
- swivel-hinge shoulders
- swivel-hinge elbows
- swivel wrists
- torso ball joint
- ball-jointed hips
- thigh swivels
- double-jointed knees
- rocker ankles
The torso joint allows for natural lean and twist, essential for investigative or confrontational poses. The arms support expressive lightsaber stances, while the legs allow for stable footing in action scenes. The articulation is unobtrusive, preserving the clean lines of the robes while offering enough range for dynamic posing.
Paint & Deco
The deco work is elegant and precise. The robes feature warm creams, muted golds, and subtle browns that reflect the High Republic’s ceremonial palette. The photoreal portrait adds depth and realism, with natural skin tones and expressive shading. The lightsaber hilt includes crisp metallic accents, while the blue blade reads clean and vibrant.
The overall palette is cohesive and cinematic, aligning Yord visually with the rest of the High Republic aesthetic.
