The new voice actor sounds NOTHING like Kael
Kael was iconic, a legend. You cannot just replace Quinton Flynn because of cancel culture.

That literally tells me nothing. Although a cursory look at Wikipedia shows that Geode is a Vintian male that served as a navigator aboard a ship. Yes, Vintian’s look like rocks. Doesn’t seem like a big issue though.
You’re forgetting the last part of that sentence, which is “In a court of law.” for as long as humans have maintained civilization there has always been a court of public opinion and it has always operated on raw emotion and feelings. Hell, in ancient Rome, seen to many during the time as a pinnacle of human civilization, you could literally be cancelled (as in killed) by the mobs that could form if an orator or some other charismatic individual spoke out against you and accused you of doing something improper.
In fact, you could say Julius Ceasar was ‘cancelled’ by the mob in Rome. I mean, look at what happened to him.

If you knew anything about the current Star Wars situation, then you would be aware that a damn rock of all things is what passes as brilliance at Lucasarts these days.
If you ignore the fact that an 8 year old could come up with a better idea.

As if that maketh any of it acceptable.
Seems like knitpicking honestly. Of all the things that people could get upset about in Star Wars, a sentient species that look like rocks should be on the bottom of the list.
This is what most folks would call ‘Making a mountain out of a molehill’.
It’s a slab of rock.
It doesn’t even have any hint of sentience.
This is what Star Wars has been reduced to, as has any of their creditability in my eyes.

?? Well guess you haven’t been paying attention. Maybe you should do that before you start believing people on the internet. Here, from the Wiki.
Vintians were a sentient species from Vint that had an appearance similar to that of a regular rock. Geode was the nickname of a Vintian who served as the navigator of the transport Vessel during the High Republic Era.
Vintians had flinty, flaky surfaces. To some species, Vintians resembled rocks or boulders. Despite tending to stand still for long periods of time, Vintians were capable of independent movement. Vintians rested by recrystalyzing.
Vintians participated in commercial spaceflight operations and some were capable navigators. At least one Vintian was known to frequent bars and clubs and was considered to have a “wild-man” personality. However Vintians could also be quite stoic. Their complex language could only be spoken by those without a mouth.
didn’t help Johnny Depp, he was nearly cancelled until it came out he was the victim.
I don’t need the internets opinion when I can form my own.
It is a rock. It is a pathetic effort considering the dozens of other avenues they could’ve gone down in inventing characters. Instead they picked the most politically neutral flavorless option so they didn’t need to admit that binning the EU was a bad idea.
Hell marvel did a better job making sentient rock people Korg | Marvel Cinematic Universe Wiki | Fandom I’d much rather see him with in Star Wars than this Star Wars: The High Republic Trailer - Geode - YouTube

So, you ignore lore, really basic lore, in order to form an opinion that throws the entire Star Wars brand under the bus. That’s what you’re saying here, since you see Geode as ‘just a rock’ when he’s clearly more than that. What this looks like to me, honestly, is that a writer somewhere took the whole ‘pet rock’ concept that a lot of kids had when they were young and turned it into something more by making a sentient race that looks like they’re made of rocks.
You don’t have to like the character, that’s fine. But at least recognize the lore for what it is.
Yeah. Garbage.
Much like where the franchise has fallen into.

that’s not how Julius Ceasar died, he died from his fellow senators betraying him and stabling him. His famous last word’s were “Et tu brute” which means you too brutus.
He was killed by a mob, that mob consisted of Senators who stabbed him to death. He was not tried, he was not convicted. The ‘mob’ had the opinion that he had to die, and he was killed.

Never even bothered to read it. Not yet anyway. Maybe one day I will.
But I really see nothing wrong with a sentient race that looks like a rock. I really don’t.
I mean hell, Stargate SG:1 had an episode where the entire team run into a race of sentient crystals that literally look like crystals you’d find in a cave. It’s not like this is an original first.
