The problem is that Darth Vader is much more of a background character in Jedi: Fallen Order, used to flesh out Cal’s story rather than his own. Indeed, it’s an incredibly similar trope even to Vader’s role in Star Wars Rebels . So it ultimately adds nothing new, and when Cal comes face-to-face with Vader , they know nothing serious can come out of it. Sure, Vader is intimidating, but that cannot carry his role in a story. It’s much more focused on the Inquisitors, which is fine and super interesting, but now that Cal’s on Vader’s radar, there’s no real direction it can go. Cal is not L


The colon and subtitle change are incredibly reminiscent of the Assassin’s Creed franchise, which cycles through new main characters. Star Wars Jedi could, and maybe should, be just that. The question of what Jedi should replace Cal Kestis is a big one, though. It could be as big as Obi-Wan Kenobi being the main character of Star Wars Jedi: Survivor , one of the Fallen Order characters (Cere? Merrin), a character from other Star Wars media sources, or another brand new character. No matter how it approaches this, if it does, there are plenty of opti


Star Wars Jedi: Survivor once again sees Stig Asmussen at the helm as game director, with fan favorite Cal Kestis returning as the main character. Set five years after the events of Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order , Kestis and his droid companion BD-1 are still on the run from the Empire. The cinematic trailer helps set up the plot, with the Empire getting its hands on Cal's lightsaber. Kestis then finds a mysterious character suspended in what appears to be a Bacta tank, which is something that Star Wars characters use to heal throughout the franch


In an interview published on the official Star Wars website, game director Stig Asmussen touched on some of the next-gen benefits fans can look forward to when Star Wars Jedi: Survivor arrives. This will include ray tracing and fast loading. Asmussen also briefly mentioned the PlayStation 5 DualSense controller , revealing that the development team is "digging into" the DualSense's unique capabilities, like haptic feedb


He added that the game continues Cal Kestis’ story, but he didn’t know for sure if Cal was the only playable character. The Bespin Bulletin also chimed in to add that it heard there would be a second playable character in Star Wars Jedi: Survivor , with Cal remaining the focus. Should this be true, even if fans should take all of this with a healthy grain of salt, there’s a strong case to make Merrin the second playable charac


During a recent interview on the Jimmy Kimmel show, Obi-Wan actor Ewan McGregor discussed a variety of topics related to Star Wars . He specifically praised Obi-Wan Kenobi director Deborah Chow for her understanding of the greater Star Wars multimedia universe. The most important bit was where he said that all Star Wars Jedi Survivor News|Https://Jedisurvivorhub.Com/ Wars storylines have to add up and that there can’t be "some fact in a video game that doesn’t match up with the mov


While Luke Skywalker, Lando Calrissian, and Leia Organa fought Jabba the Hutt’s henchmen (and Jabba himself, in Leia’s case), the many non-combatants aboard the sail barge presumably fled the chaotic battle. While Legends -era material confirms a multitude of survivors, including Rebo, Fett, and Fortuna, canon material tends to be a bit vaguer about who escaped the doomed sail barge. Boba Fett and Bib Fortuna’s survival were key to The Book of Boba Fett’s premise, but for a minor background character like Max Rebo, his survival was confirmed via a brief moment in the pilot epis


Fans will have to wait for a later date for the questions raised by the Star Wars Jedi: Survivor trailer to be answered. While the game lacks a specific release date, it has been confirmed that Star Wars Jedi: Survivor will launch at some point in 2023, so Star Wars fans can expect more information on the game and Cal Kestis' next adventure in the months ah


Following her introduction in Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order, Merrin skyrocketed in popularity as a unique and tragic character. She is a survivor of the Clone Wars, where the Dathomirian Nightsisters were slaughtered by General Grievous. A fallen Jedi named Taron Malicos manipulated her into believing the Jedi were responsible for the death of her people, and once all of this is resolved, she joins Cal and frie


Having her completely turn away from her roots, as well as the Magick of her people, would not be a good look. It’s not something Merrin is likely to accept. Instead, allowing her to perhaps find a way to use Magick without the Dark Side or, at least, show how Merrin has control over this element of the Force could put her on a unique path. It wouldn’t be surprising if she managed to walk the line between and be a proper Gray Jedi. Ultimately, it all remains to be seen, but hopefully, Merrin is standing alongside Cal in Star Wars Jedi: Survivo
