![]() ![]() Geode's introduction is especially mocked on platforms like Youtube, but it is unlikely that it will ever reach Jar Jar Binks level. The resulting online hate led actor Ahmed Best, portraying the computer-generated character, to consider suicide for a time. In 1999, the introduction of the (in)famous childish Jar Jar Binks, wanted by Star Wars creator George Lucas himself to appear as a comic sidekick in Star Wars: Episode I – The Phantom Menace, was widely rejected by critics and often ridiculed by fans. There are others who got triggered, seeing especially Geode as an example of misplaced humor hiding the lack of creativity and direction in a franchise loved especially by older generations. However, some reviews note the lack of originality, playing it safe with stories relying too much on previous installments of the saga, as more lively characters like Chewbacca and R2-D2 did the same. Geode acts as a natural silent opposite between the friendly banter of Leox Gyasi and Affie Holow, a way to externalize inner monologue and comic relief. Most reviewers of Into the Dark tend to welcome new characters, having fun with such an absurdity as a rock as a protagonist. Judging from the response online, the latest chapter in the story of the High Republic divides the fandom. But Geode seems to prefer the look of a great, big, beautiful rock. They can manipulate crystals to form humanoid bodies or use droid bodies to interact with other species. In the expanded Star Wars universe, the B'rknaa were a mineral-based sentient species native to Indobok, a moon orbiting the planet Kalarba. According to several novels and comic books by Diane Duane, there is even a Horta with the rank of ensign on the late Enterprise. This Horta called species is a sentient non-humanoid silicon life form, they can't speak but communicate telepathically. ![]() We soon discover that the beast with the appearance of a big rock is far less hostile than other aliens. In the 1967 Star Trek episode "Devil in the Dark," the crew of the spaceship Enterprise discovers a monster on the planet Janus VI. "Rock creatures" can work in a science-fiction setting. According to Yoda's speech in "The Empire Strikes Back" (1980), The Force surrounds not only humanoids, but also apparent lifeless objects like rocks. It's only appropriate that the only way in which readers can learn anything about a mysterious character like Quort is from a reticent rock.We yet not know if the Vintians are a race of silicon-based life, just superficially resembling an inanimated rock, or sentient kyber crystals. Even his species is unknown except that he has deep blue skin with brown eyes and wears a skull on his face. For example, Qort's speech is never translated. Additionally, Geode's ability to unnerve those who are unfamiliar with him and his idiosyncrasies is just hilarious, and the comics have proven that they can also be of use in battle or, at least, when ships have been commandeered.Įven more so, Geode shares some sort of connection with Padawan Qort, a mysterious character that Star Wars readers know almost nothing about. Plus, nothing about Geode is any worse than the likes of Jar Jar Binks or the Ewoks. His only purpose is to look disgusting and cackle. But fans need to remember that many of the species in Star Wars are just ridiculous and humorous like Jabba the Hutt's Kowakian monkey-lizard named Salacious B. Some Star Wars fans have been overly critical of Geode due to his unprecedented appearance, claiming that he is nothing more than a rock. ![]()
