It looks like a tombstone.Its actually just a huge slab of rock that can't even move by itself or even have some kind of droid body to help it get around.

When you first mentioned this and told us the name of this character, I figured, hell, at the very least, they will break him open, and he will be filled with lovely crystals...that would be the end of the book, right?
But now, all I can think of, every time we see his name, is:
Unbelievable, Disney. Fucking unbelievable. When we think you can't sink any lower, you create a new level of low that nobody knew existed, and you race past it. Your corporate slogan should be, from now on, "Making it Worse." That needs to be at the bottom of every poster, on every book and comic, at the end of every trailer, every live-action retread, every franchise you buy, every childhood joy that you rape, every everything.

You're right. It belongs to the franchise.
This jewel, like every other one in Disney's trove of creativity, comes from people who mocked Lucas for characters like JarJar or child Anakin. These same people couldn't give two fucks about this franchise before they were allowed to inject their sick sexual fantasies into it. Geode symbolizes the epitome of their creativity as well as the state of Star Wars under Disney.

We really do owe George Lucas an apology.
The prequels are still bad, but Jesus Christ. The Mouse just won't let up with its raping of the IP. And even when they do something good, like Mandolorian, they ruin it by caving to the cringe patrol and fire Gina Carano.
Unreal.

I still remember when people thought that Jedi Master in Tales of the Jedi who was just a brain in a jar was bad.
We didn't know how good we had it in the past.

That brain in a jar is more of a Jedi than ANYONE Disney has come up with.

Towards the end of the book, Geode saves a Jedi's life by blocking the airlock lol
The ladder gave way. Reath slid across the floor, toward the airlock and open space. He closed his eyes against the void—
And hit something very solid, very hard.
What the— Pain echoed through Reath’s whole body. But whatever barrier he’d hit wasn’t giving way to the vacuum; it was too strong for that. He opened his eyes to discover he could see around the edge of the thing—which showed him the airlock doors finally sliding shut.
The vacuum vanished. Reath tumbled to the ground, gasping for air. It took the station’s environmental controls a few more moments to restore oxygen. In those blurry seconds, he looked for what had saved him.
No, not what. Who.
“Geode?” Reath gasped.
Geode stood above him, reassuringly calm and steady. And Reath could feel that now—a connection to a life-form profoundly alien, and yet as vividly alive as any being he had ever encountered.
Reath’s comlink buzzed. “What just happened?” Affie’s voice rang out. “The readings we’re getting—Reath, are you still out there?”
He managed to reply in a raspy voice: “Thanks to Geode, yeah. Still here. We’re still here. But the Nihil and the Drengir are long gone.”
“You’re going to have to explain that later,” Affie said. “Hang on. We’re coming to get you.”
He flopped back onto the floor and stared up at Geode. “My hero.”
Geode made no reply, but Reath knew he understood.

Now, I haven't read the book as I just did a Ctrl+F for "Geode" to look for cringe in a digital copy, but this appears to be his big moment .

My point wasn't to call that character ridiculous, it's that morons who hated the EU called him ridiculous. We really didn't know how lucky we were back then when Star Wars was still at its stride. Things that many detractors of the old EU condemned as silly back then look pristine and wonderful now.
For example, take Galactic Battlegrounds.
I remember a lot of peons calling it a cheap Age of Empires skin for Star Wars, but aside from taking the mechanics of that game and giving it a Star Wars skin, you also had a lot of neat lore and story moments, like the conquest of Naboo from the Trade Federation perspective, the story of Chewie and his father colonizing a planet in the prequel era, and best of all, the rivalry between one of Master Windu's former students, and Sev'Rance Tann, a hot Chiss Dark Jedi general who can give Grievous a run for his money when it comes to "who's the best CIS commander in town."
Even when old Star Wars was just making its own version of Age of Empires, the lore was still ten times better than making a rock character who rips off the name of a Pokemon. The new canon's idea for a character in their version of KOTOR is a slab of stone. The old canon's idea for a CIS character in their version of Age of Empires is a beautiful Chiss Dark Jedi general who's practically Rule 63 Thrawn except she kills Jedi on the field and has no problems defeating armies of clones bred for war using expendable bugs and comic relief droids.

He'll likely do the same thing he and all the other SW critics-turned-Disney bootlickers did after Disney bought the franchise and just ignore it or praise it. And these were people who would screech over every little thing George would say but now turn a blind eye to Disney or suck their cock at every turn because its the politically correct thing to do in their eyes because they fully embraced JJ, Wendig and KK's bullshit that saying anything bad about nu-Wars makes you a racist or sexist troll despite that hating their garbage shouldn't be limited by politics.
Literally fucking Plank in this scene but with an airlock instead of a switch. FFS

You'd think they'd at least go with a rock character who has even the slightest bit of a personality.

This should be a spoof, but it isn't.
He's the most interesting High Republic character at least.

I wouldn't be at all surprised if Geode was some prank by the High Republic story group to quantify the bare minimum effort they can possibly put into a 'character' that will make both Fandom Menace spergs seethe and their consoomer audience clap and cry. As it turns out, it's a literal fucking rock.

Does rock thing perfectly block the airlock because if not... getting sucked into space through a hole the size of a coin is probably a much shittier way to die than just being sucked into space
