My Cal Kestis action figure feels less wasteful now.

I loved this game and cannot wait for sequel

I've been playing this game recently. Really fun so far even if there's some jank here and there. Also fairly easy considering it's a Soulslike, though I've only been playing on Jedi Knight difficulty.

Biggest issues so far is that it falls into the classic Metroidvania trap of having garbage or nonexistent warping.

Y'know, coming back to this Game really brought my attention to a lot of narrative details I didn't fully pay attention to / appreciate back then.

Most of all, the repairing of the Lightsaber. I truly love the symbolic meaning behind it. It's basically a metaphor for Cal picking up the shattered pieces of his heart and soul and reforging it, under his own strength of will. Before, he was mostly running away from his past. This is where he truly faces it for the first time and decides to not let the darkness get to him.

The Lightsaber is always part of an important character moment for a Jedi.

Like when Luke tossed his away back in the OT and ST.

Speaking off, I always liked how SWTOR Sith barely give a shit about theirs when compared to the epic building scene for Jedi.

The Inquisitor just gets a hand me down from Zash, and the Warrior steals one from a tomb which is most likely outdated.

Because for Jedi a lightsaber is the culmination of your training and an important meditative exercise to ensure you are in tune with the Force.

For the Sith it’s nothing more than a weapon.

Palpatine once stated the case that a true master of the Dark Side shouldn't even need a lightsaber since the Dark Side is their weapon.

It's also pretty meta since Lightsabers were originally Jedi only weapons, and Vader having one meant that he was a former Jedi.

Well a lightsaber was also a weapon of last resort for a Jedi too.

Well yeah, it is not their first way of solving things in a conflict. But the weapon itself is very important to the Jedi in a spiritual way.

I think it's Merrin, the Nightsister.

I'm wondering who that Pau'an is, and the hooded Dark Jedi.

Apparently it's stated somewhere the Pau'an's a senator? One of the guys from Blindwave mentioned that after they watched the trailer.

Jedi Fallen Order takes place 5 years after the Jedi Purge.

Jedi Survivor takes place 10 years after the purge.

Obi-Wan Kenobi series takes place 10 years after the purge.

If it’s an entirely different seemingly evil Pau’an, then it’s a shame that Lucas seemed to have intentionally done a subversion of Obviously Evil with them, a race of innocent victims who just happen to have scary vampiric features but are perfectly good folks, while subsequent installments have leaned into Pau’ans villains that emphasize how scary they are.

Huh, I thought there would be more reactions about this. Especially since it's #2 on trending for games.


[up][up]

Sure fits the criteria.


Jedi Fallen Order takes place 5 years after the Jedi Purge.

Jedi Survivor takes place 10 years after the purge.

Obi-Wan Kenobi series takes place 10 years after the purge.

Hmm...

I'm not up to date with Star Wars lore, but this would mean the Inquisitors are still alive.


Apparently it's stated somewhere the Pau'an's a senator? One of the guys from Blindwave mentioned that after they watched the trailer.

I forgot his name, but I find that Katarn Youtuber to be pretty reliable when it comes to Star Wars lore.

If that does happen, it would come across as incredibly cheap. Whether Cal actually develops feeling for her or not, I can't find myself appreciating any Stuffed into the Fridge. It's just too much of a cheap gimmick to me.


I don't really have any weight when I say this, but I am curious if they're going to make Cal become more combat efficient than he was before? I feel like Cal's greatest appeal is that he isn't this Jedi Master but more of a survivor. That's why I personally like the title of the game. Then again, it would be kinda irritating to not see him progress his combat arts in any way. I also don't see why he can't be somewhere around Kanan's level?

Ya'll shouldn't've gotten attached to Merrin, I've been saying for years she's suspiciously shaped like the interior space of a refridgerator

Killing Merrin would summon a giant shitstorm. Hope they realize that.

I wouldn't exactly be surprised if they fridged a character. As much as I enjoyed the first game, it wasn't due to creativity.

I mean, as far as I'm concerned, they could kill Cere.

Her character was definitely the weakest link in the first game. She only served to make Trilla more relateable.

I feel like they probably won't given that they faked that out at the end of the first game.

Overall, I liked all the characters, I just feel like they needed more time to bond. They could be a Knights of the Old Republic-tier crew if there was more downtime for them.

It's been fun.

We never did fully wrap up the gambling debts with the pilot guy.

Made for a weird sudden side trek that never got resolved in the original game.
