@@justjoking5841Inquisitors are forced to hunt Jedi, otherwise they get killed by Darth Vader, so technically they are also doing it for survival. Vader kills Jedi out of hatred (because how the council treated him, etc.), Cal kills out of survival, but on the dark side out of fear (scared of not catching bode in time during the chase) and out of anger (for what the empire and bode did). So again... What's the difference on the light side?
@@netrox0072the difference is that this is a video game and everyone wants to go around swinging their lightsaber like a one man army badass, so the developers didn’t take the time to flesh out the nuance of light vs dark. The difference is supposed to be something like “a Jedi will look for an alternate while a Sith will just power through,” but that requires two different styles of gameplay.
I love how the dark side of the force is indeed shown to be much more powerful and suitable for combat. It really makes it easy to see why it can become so addictive and seductive as Yoda said it is.
The best way to describe the dark side is that it’s like a drug. First time you use it, you reach Cere’s level in power immediately, an quick but brief shortcut to brutal and violent power. But just one taste of this bloodshed is all it takes for you to become addicted. Leading you down a terrifying path that’s destroying you. It’s not more powerful than the light, it just gets you to your peak faster, but with devastating consequences on yourself. A Jedi could do all the stuff we’re seeing Cal do here (hell, we literally see Cere do it and stand her ground against freaking Darth Vader), but they consciously choose not to, it’s like how Spider-Man COULD turn every villain into a red paste with a single punch but chooses not to. But with the dark side, you reach that level much faster but it’ll eat away at you until you are no longer the person you used to be. As we saw with Anakin and Cal, the dark side can turn good hearted individual into a violent sadistic killing machine. But with the light side, it’ll take you longer to reach that level with hard work, time, and training. But once you get to that level, you can unleash this full power with zero consequences. We see with Cere how she busts out her power when she needs to and easily manages to absolutely butcher hundreds of stormtroopers, purge troopers, dropships, and even walkers to the point where only a Sith Lord could beat her. Does this make sense?
@@theparrishshow9803 zero consequences? No. A Jedi killing a bunch of living beings will not have zero consequences, no matter how much discipline they've been through. Mace Windu was always on the cusp of falling to the Dark Side. He was only just barely able to pull himself back every time. If he had murdered Palpatine, that would have been the tipping point. Even Yoda was on the cusp of falling several times. The thing about the temptation of the Dark Side is that it doesn't go away, even if you're a Master. That's why the Jedi Code is so strict. That's why the Jedi lost the Clone Wars. Had the Jedi been as ruthless and bloodthirsty as the Sith, they would have defeated the Separatists and killed Count Dooku and Palpatine easily.
@@dplocksmith91 Those “living beings” were trying to kill her. If a whole army is trying to murder me and my friends, then fighting back is completely fine. There’s no kind of moral dilemma there.
@@theparrishshow9803 Makes perfect sense. The long path to power brings the Jedi wisdom. Thats probably why they appear so "weak". Wisdom means opting not to fight unless forced to, and even when fighting, it means holding back and only unleashing as much of your power (or skill when putting it into realistic terms, for example with martial artists when faced with a street fight) as you NEED for the situation. Meanwhile... On the other side... The Sith just unleash relentless merciless power with no regards for life whatsoever. So they appear so much more menacing and powerful than a Jedi usually would. I wish we would be able to see this more often in the movies. A Jedi's full show of power. Thankfully we got to see it with Cere. It felt amazing to control her in Jedha. So much power. Hope to see it in Cal in the third game as well, if he manages to remain away from the dark side.
"Is the Dark side stronger?" "No, Quicker, easier, more seductive." The dark side is naturally geared towards fighting which is why it often has to be fought from within, because that desire to fight can be a dangerous one in any form.
That was the most disrespectful disarm I've ever seen in my life. He literally pimp slapped the air, with the fucking head tilt just to make it clear how little effort it took.
I think this is actually a great representation of how they say the dark side gets you to your peak fast, but doesn't necessarily make you a better fighter. Can you imagine if you had this at the start of the game? Yeah, you'd fold enemies in your way easily, but you don't learn. You just do the same thing over and over, seduced by the ease of mashing your button, and when you come up against actual adversity that your button doesn't work on you're completely unprepared. If you let this completely control you wouldn't learn how to read attack patterns, or how to dodge properly or do good combos. And so when a foe who is your equal approaches, you're left dead in the water. This is also why the most powerful sith didn't rely solely on just spamming the easy dark side things.
While that evolution is great, I think not all males in his position would be better, admirable, respectable or more complete in that way. Was Cal not intimidating at all before?
Hell yeah dude. I thought the similarities were damning. Just slashing and shitting on waves of dudes as they just stand there paralyzed, either by fear or by force.
The Jedi once created a lightsaber peripheral that turned it into a sniper rifle Downside was, you'd need Grievous' collection to use it effectively. Each saber would give you roughly 5 shots before melting. The Archives on Corusant had a working example of one, that Jocasta Nu (the librarian) used to escape the Jedi Temple
I would like bode more if he had at least the slightest decency. Cal, even while despising Bode for getting Cere killed, didn’t want to fight in front of his kid. Bode on the other hand, force pushed and attacked Cal even while his own kid watched. He had no honor left from the clone wars and was a shell of a former Jedi.

Anyone else notice the Death Star easter-egg at 8:40 in Bode's quarters? The white orb on the center table reflects the overhead light to show a white Death Star with its weapons array pointed at you no matter where you walk in the room.
It’s actually said that by the end of Jedi Survivor, Cal Kestis’ skill/rank is that of a young Jedi Master! Which I think is so cool and shows how far he’s come.
@@joshpeck9266 hard to see. Her only display in the game is against Vader and its not the most impressive showing. Her dropping a bookshelf on him with the force does more damage than her lightsaber over the course of the fight.
This game really did the Dark Side well. It's not cartoonish evil where you're just good or evil, it's something you slip into. The game presented you with something (really wanting to catch Bode for killing Cere), put human obstacles in your way. The Dark Side lets you tap into your anguish and anger and frustration and dispatch them quicker and more satisfyingly, for you to catch Bode.. but that's not the Jedi way for a reason. You can easily slip into that habit of just "making fights easier" and "showing my power better" and losing yourself. This is how people fall into the dark side. Imagine it not playing that eerie violin tone or showing that red-black haze. You might not even notice.
Taking off the beard is one of the worst crimes of all, I’m calling Vader Edit: you thought I was gonna say something cringe like “mom I’m famous” didn’t you?
Rest assured I put it back on after this. I love it when Cal has that rugged look with his beard/stubble. I felt if Cal was gonna impersonate someone from the military I felt he should look the part, even if it was for a little bit.
True but I was not cutting off Cal’s hair for that buzz cut look. The closest thing besides the Buzz cut was the crew cut and undercut. I did undercut last time tho
Officer: i know what your capable of .. and what your not Also officer: proceeds to pull out blaster knowing that jedi can deflect the bolts with a lightsaber or just use the force
Facts, some people prefer the initial limit break but you can’t go wrong with those OP dark side abilities. Jedi Mind Melt, Force crushing droids, amplified Force push/pull/lift/slam, and etc. it’s 🔥🔥🔥
*wears one of the highest ranking officer's uniform in front of another officer* "Ahhh, a new recruit?" Also, damn he dark sided that ambush so hard the bodies despawned
I like how cal allows bode to explain himself and doesn’t demean bode too much in front of his daughter. He doesn’t share his direct actions and only explains what he did in a way that doesn’t make him sound like a complete monster, but just someone who made a bad choice.
Its really cool how we see Cal shed some of the emotional neutrality and let him grow as a person. Hopefully in the next game, we see him control his darkness and awaken as a Grey Jedi. Weilding both dark and light, in balance.
No such thing and the concept always was stupid. You just can’t commit to either side so you hope to skirt the line. You people like to get in here and pretend you’re good people. That’s why you try to justify someone having dark side powers and still being good. It’s a coping mechanism. You’re not good. Quit fucking devaluing the lore with shitty takes like this, you don’t get to have dark side powers just because they’re cool and then still try to pretend you’re this stoic good guy archetype.
I find it extremely funny that we need a handrail for anything larger than a gutter, but in the star wars universe with sure death drops they seem to be non existent.
They don't my man, the game gives you the dark side tap permanently. They begin the road to grey jedi by having him control his anger, while still utilise it. The game is significantly better when it comes to emotion than others.
@@oldmansamsay1023 yea I understand you have the ability but all im saying is i dont think killing that guy would mean that marin loses cal forever like he would become a totally different human being
@@huh9315 True but it would be unsportsmanlike, gunning down Bode needed to happen because Bode is fully capable of just force choking you, but Denvik was unarmed at that point. It's the same reason the jedi disapprove of Trakata, they may word it differently but it's the same reason the Sith do, "A little bitch, you would be, fight fair, you should, grow a pair, you might."
@@huh9315I see your point, but the idea is that if you kill someone like that, someone who clearly is outmatched and you ruthlessly crush them to death, something breaks in you, makes it feel easier to do again and again. You did it before right? What's one more bad guy? Until you realize how much destruction and pain you left in your wake. It's not that killing one man would make him lost forever, but it would mean the low road has been taken, and may be now taken more in the future. All actions cause ripples.
Man I love watching Cal walk up all gangster and pull that Space Eagle in his face. It's a shame I didn't find the Blaster mode that much fun. It's just that I enjoy the dual blade and dual wield way more than Blaster and Crossguard (I don't even know why tf they added Crossguard, makes me more of a medieval Knight than a Jedi). But yeah, overall it had some great and some very funny boss fights. Like I still remember when I faced the greatest boss in the history of gaming, "Rick the Door Technician"!! He ran yelling he had trained his whole life to kill me, and coincidently, it was one of the few times I was on blaster mode. Gave that a guy a headshot and watched him roll over.
The way Cal will use Force Lightning is that he has to be hit with first. The Sith Masters sometimes did that to their apprentices so that they understand it's power. The anger, the hate, you need to be on the receiving end of it to fully grasp it. Emperor Palpatine could do that or Cal find a Ancient Immortal Sith Lord to become his new apprentice in the Dark Side.
Jedi might not be killers as their rules say what they shouldn't do. Just because Jedi can kill sometimes, it doesn't mean they always should. Cal doesn't cate right now, he doesn't have any such weaknesses when he does what he must do occasionally.
@@jamesplunkett8912 honestly i dunno, i am not that deep on the lore of legend or canon. but yeah might just follow grey jedi until they introduce the proper term/name
I can’t wait to see what they do with Cals character in the third game he’s my favorite character in Disney’s canon because of how consistently great his story is so far
I LOVED this twist so much and tbh I would be so down for a hero goes villain story with Cal like we've seen with Anakin but actually having to play the character ourselves we set out with.
many Jedi were arrogant purists, especially Guardians (Blue lightsaber, primarily combat focused) and Consular's (Green Lightsaber, diplomat's, focused on meditation, mediation, and studying the deeper mysteries of the force. Sentinels however were a different breed. they were pragmatic. more combat focused then a Consular but more diplomatic then a guardian. they were also known to study and utilize skills other Jedi frowned upon. they were often pilots, mechanics, hackers, etc. they tended to have underworld contacts, were not afraid to bend, or break the law when needed. and unlike most Jedi? they would use a blaster when the situation called for it. the problem was that the council was mostly full of consulars. they disdained Guardians and seemed to outright HATE Sentinels. they also were diehard followers of the New Code which preached total absence of all emotion. the consulars actively dissuaded padawans from taking the Guardian path, and pushed the Sentinels to the brink of extinction. the irony is, with just a dozen more sentinels, and several more guardians? the Jedi may have had many more members survive the purge. but yeah, most jedi were purists when it came to combat. force powers and rigid adherence to the Lightsaber forms... except for Form VII as that was viewed as a Sith form. any deviation was discouraged heavily, if not outright punished. i would place Cal as a Pure Sentinel class Knight at this point.
@@redpapa859 not to disagree, but you clearly have not read a lot of the expanded universe content if that is your thought process. In many of the stories? The jedi were arrogant. So assured of their skill with the force and their lightsaber, they never bothered to learn anything else. Many younger jedi did in fact suggest trying something new. But the older generation refused to hear it. Claiming, in the words of obi-wan, it was too uncivilised. Some jedi were exactly as you describe. But most of the council? They wanted to maintain the status quo, and refused anything that would change that. Its one of the biggest reasons the order fell. They had become arrogant.
Appreciate the support! As Darth Sidious once said, The dark side of the Force is a pathway to many abilities some consider to be unnatural. Have fun and experiment plenty! I recommend Fort Kah’lin. Great spot to fight and grind. 💯😎😈
Of all the playthroughs ove seen, everyone kept a beard or stubble on him. This is what he would look like if he never grew one. Doesnt look much older then fallen order, just a little more hardened.
My second favorite version of cal. Undercut and clean shaven, makes it look like he is only in his early 20s and then the original with his og hair and stubble which makes it look like he's late 20s early 30s.
i love how you can ruthlessly cut through dozens if not hundred of human beings while on a dark side rampage...but that's not going too far. its only going too far if you kill the last guy because...because what? because we know his name?
to be fair though, theres hundreds of soldiers all attacking cal at once and hes fighting in self defense and to get out of there, meanwhile theres one dude he can easily disarm and knock out, but hes about to kill him in cold blood out of pure rage. if cal did kill him like that, theres a chance he could spiral down into a cycle of hate and murder just like anakin
It just speaks volumes of how stupid the rules between the "light" and the "dark" have become. Used to be that the "light side" was just the default and the "dark side" was an unnatural corruption, Jedi followed a specific doctrine and grey Jedi were just Jedi who didn't follow the doctrine. Now the light and dark are two sides of the same coin, you can just swap sides when you want, and grey Jedi are le epic force centrists who get all the powers (but are somehow still good).
Welcome to modern Star Wars. Everyone’s like “They’re trying to kill him!” but no shit they’re trying to kill him because they’re part of the military and he literally infiltrated a top secret base. Of course they’re going to kill him. Go break into a military base or the Pentagon while armed and hurt people and see what they try to do to you lol. So many people live in fantasy land and the writing shows that.
@@ABonafideSkeleton Except that's how Star Wars works? The Light is the default and the Dark is a corruption. Grey Jedi aren't a thing and that's not at all what the game is saying. You're just reading too much of people's fanfiction about how Star Wars works. Cal dipped into the dark side, then was talked down and became a light sider again just like how Anakin dipped into the dark a few times and was able to be brought back before he fully turned.
This is honestly how the Jedi should be. Unforgiving and playing the enemies game against them and treating them accordingly. Not being the peaceful, polite peace keepers to all things

@@thephoenix4093 yeah fully, that shit was too OP to the point it wasn't even fun anymore. I think these dudes are smarter than that & know how important it is to stay within the rules of SW.
@@LoLPunky agreed.
@@thephoenix4093 unleashed is still a great game the second was rushed but I beat it like ten times it's great idc and they definitely took ideas from that and implemented it into this
Anyone else notice the Death Star easter-egg at 8:40 in Bode's quarters? The white orb on the center table reflects the overhead light to show a white Death Star with its weapons array pointed at you no matter where you walk in the room.
Pretty sure that’s just the light refelecting off the orb. However, I like this easter egg so it passes
Huh, the bomber set, the hair and the gun combined gave me a Cyberpunk feel to his look. Pretty cool.
Thank you!
V Kestis
It’s actually said that by the end of Jedi Survivor, Cal Kestis’ skill/rank is that of a young Jedi Master! Which I think is so cool and shows how far he’s come.
Considering he brutalized a jedi from the old republic, yeah, it's not just stated its shown
So cere would be at a senior Jedi master?
@@joshpeck9266 hard to see. Her only display in the game is against Vader and its not the most impressive showing. Her dropping a bookshelf on him with the force does more damage than her lightsaber over the course of the fight.
He's also Darth Vader and literally only cares about his former teacher and his offspring, when aware of them lol
Cal hit that “we would be honored if you would join us”
This game really did the Dark Side well. It's not cartoonish evil where you're just good or evil, it's something you slip into. The game presented you with something (really wanting to catch Bode for killing Cere), put human obstacles in your way. The Dark Side lets you tap into your anguish and anger and frustration and dispatch them quicker and more satisfyingly, for you to catch Bode.. but that's not the Jedi way for a reason. You can easily slip into that habit of just "making fights easier" and "showing my power better" and losing yourself.
This is how people fall into the dark side. Imagine it not playing that eerie violin tone or showing that red-black haze. You might not even notice.
Taking off the beard is one of the worst crimes of all, I’m calling Vader
Edit: you thought I was gonna say something cringe like “mom I’m famous” didn’t you?
Rest assured I put it back on after this. I love it when Cal has that rugged look with his beard/stubble. I felt if Cal was gonna impersonate someone from the military I felt he should look the part, even if it was for a little bit.
@@FrannyD501st I guess that makes sense, but that leaves me to question the hair. You wouldn’t catch an imperial officer with that hairdo lmao
True but I was not cutting off Cal’s hair for that buzz cut look. The closest thing besides the Buzz cut was the crew cut and undercut. I did undercut last time tho
@@FrannyD501st Crue cut woulda been better imo
i think he’s cute without it 🙈
Officer: i know what your capable of .. and what your not
Also officer: proceeds to pull out blaster knowing that jedi can deflect the bolts with a lightsaber or just use the force
I also love that even after beating the game you go dark side when you rampage. Love to see where that's going into the next game
Facts, some people prefer the initial limit break but you can’t go wrong with those OP dark side abilities. Jedi Mind Melt, Force crushing droids, amplified Force push/pull/lift/slam, and etc. it’s 🔥🔥🔥
i love how cal just casually swats the blaster away using the force in the first scene there, got a good chuckle out of me
I love the immediate switch from, "You wont kill me, you are a jedi," and right after the blaster, "Alllllright I give up."
*wears one of the highest ranking officer's uniform in front of another officer* "Ahhh, a new recruit?" Also, damn he dark sided that ambush so hard the bodies despawned
I like how after merrin gives her argument to cal on why not to kill him she just stops talking and all I can think is just “I have spoken”
"You're a Jedi, I know what you're capable of and what you will not...
You know nothing"
Cal straight up puts an imperial officer into a coma and "hmm yeah" is all he has to say for it. The hottest
I like how cal allows bode to explain himself and doesn’t demean bode too much in front of his daughter. He doesn’t share his direct actions and only explains what he did in a way that doesn’t make him sound like a complete monster, but just someone who made a bad choice.
It has taken me all this time to realise the Purge Trooper helmet is a recoloured Clone Wars Airbourne helmet.
Wow, I did not notice that! Little things like that is why I love Star Wars 😮🤓😁
it also looks like the rest of their suit is phase 2 clone armour.
Its really cool how we see Cal shed some of the emotional neutrality and let him grow as a person.
Hopefully in the next game, we see him control his darkness and awaken as a Grey Jedi. Weilding both dark and light, in balance.
As all things should be.
No such thing and the concept always was stupid. You just can’t commit to either side so you hope to skirt the line. You people like to get in here and pretend you’re good people. That’s why you try to justify someone having dark side powers and still being good. It’s a coping mechanism. You’re not good. Quit fucking devaluing the lore with shitty takes like this, you don’t get to have dark side powers just because they’re cool and then still try to pretend you’re this stoic good guy archetype.
Bendu?
I find it extremely funny that we need a handrail for anything larger than a gutter, but in the star wars universe with sure death drops they seem to be non existent.
“Stay strapped or get clapped”
- Cal Kestis (probably)
I hate how they act like killing someone out of anger just instantly changes you into a ruthless careless killer of the dark side
They don't my man, the game gives you the dark side tap permanently. They begin the road to grey jedi by having him control his anger, while still utilise it. The game is significantly better when it comes to emotion than others.
@@oldmansamsay1023 yea I understand you have the ability but all im saying is i dont think killing that guy would mean that marin loses cal forever like he would become a totally different human being
@@huh9315 True but it would be unsportsmanlike, gunning down Bode needed to happen because Bode is fully capable of just force choking you, but Denvik was unarmed at that point. It's the same reason the jedi disapprove of Trakata, they may word it differently but it's the same reason the Sith do, "A little bitch, you would be, fight fair, you should, grow a pair, you might."
@@huh9315I see your point, but the idea is that if you kill someone like that, someone who clearly is outmatched and you ruthlessly crush them to death, something breaks in you, makes it feel easier to do again and again. You did it before right? What's one more bad guy? Until you realize how much destruction and pain you left in your wake. It's not that killing one man would make him lost forever, but it would mean the low road has been taken, and may be now taken more in the future. All actions cause ripples.
@@codyarmstrong8428that sounds like over dramatic Melo drama
15:09 man I was getting a lot of clone war vibes right there from season 7, when the clones try stopping maul from getting to reactor
Man I love watching Cal walk up all gangster and pull that Space Eagle in his face. It's a shame I didn't find the Blaster mode that much fun. It's just that I enjoy the dual blade and dual wield way more than Blaster and Crossguard (I don't even know why tf they added Crossguard, makes me more of a medieval Knight than a Jedi). But yeah, overall it had some great and some very funny boss fights. Like I still remember when I faced the greatest boss in the history of gaming, "Rick the Door Technician"!! He ran yelling he had trained his whole life to kill me, and coincidently, it was one of the few times I was on blaster mode. Gave that a guy a headshot and watched him roll over.
kills hundreds of stormtroopers but then of course killing a named character wouldnt be the jedi way
You don't have to end him... just end his knee caps. He don't need those.
I thought it would be hard for them to give Cal a solid power growth arc with video game mechanics getting in the way I’m so happy I was wrong.
From the outfit, to the blaster it gives me cyberpunk vibes 🔥👍
Damn
Denvik went from "Hey f you" to "I want to apologise" in two gestures.
Damn bro, Cal is such a badass 💀💀
I hope he meets Ahsoka.
The way Cal will use Force Lightning is that he has to be hit with first. The Sith Masters sometimes did that to their apprentices so that they understand it's power. The anger, the hate, you need to be on the receiving end of it to fully grasp it. Emperor Palpatine could do that or Cal find a Ancient Immortal Sith Lord to become his new apprentice in the Dark Side.
Anakin would be very proud.
That is where the fun begins
@@darkside9547 Yep. Welcome to the Fun Side.
Holy shit now i realiced why i was so calmed by Bodes voice and why it seemed familiar, its the same voice actor who plays Charles smith in RDR2
It’s crazy how much the costumes change the vibe of a scene! 😃
I was so mad when started running, I felt exactly what kal was feeling
I love how if you have an orange or purple lightsaber blade, it looks as if it turns red when you use the dark side
21:51
And here we see Cal channeling his inner Anakin
24:25 had me rolling 😂
That is a nifty hand cannon our boy's packin'. Ain't no Ace of Spades, but I bet it hurls hurt almost as good in a dust-up.
Starwars x Destiny
Jedi might not be killers as their rules say what they shouldn't do. Just because Jedi can kill sometimes, it doesn't mean they always should. Cal doesn't cate right now, he doesn't have any such weaknesses when he does what he must do occasionally.
That's what differentiates a Gray Jedi from a normal Jedi
@Zero-nv4js Yep. Grey Jedi don't follow the Jedi code nor the Sith ways.
@@jamesplunkett8912 at this point, it should be called anything but a "jedi" or "sith", like force user or something better
@@c-1439 What else is supposed to be called? I pay attention to the Jedi code and ignore the code of the Sith.
@@jamesplunkett8912 honestly i dunno, i am not that deep on the lore of legend or canon. but yeah might just follow grey jedi until they introduce the proper term/name
That wrist flick was so disrespectful🤣
Danvik keep information from Darth Vader....... well that's a bad move buddy 😅😅😅😂😂😂
Being able to crush droids like that gave me some serious Force Unleashed vibes.
The white imperial officer outfit is kind of drippy ngl
I can’t wait to see what they do with Cals character in the third game he’s my favorite character in Disney’s canon because of how consistently great his story is so far
I LOVED this twist so much and tbh I would be so down for a hero goes villain story with Cal like we've seen with Anakin but actually having to play the character ourselves we set out with.
“YOUR EXPECTING ME THO FLY THROUGH A SHIP EATING TUNNEL OF 200 YEAR OLD TECH?!” yes, yeah. Ok im in😂😂
Cal fights exactly like Cere while embracing the darkness.
Bro the this combo for cal actually looks sick
Greez: You want me to travel the ship while risking it all!?!? Count me in, Cal! I'm in
Jedi have limits; don't ever push them.
Finally a realistic Jedi it never made sense they only use lightsabers 😂
many Jedi were arrogant purists, especially Guardians (Blue lightsaber, primarily combat focused) and Consular's (Green Lightsaber, diplomat's, focused on meditation, mediation, and studying the deeper mysteries of the force.
Sentinels however were a different breed. they were pragmatic. more combat focused then a Consular but more diplomatic then a guardian. they were also known to study and utilize skills other Jedi frowned upon. they were often pilots, mechanics, hackers, etc. they tended to have underworld contacts, were not afraid to bend, or break the law when needed. and unlike most Jedi? they would use a blaster when the situation called for it.
the problem was that the council was mostly full of consulars. they disdained Guardians and seemed to outright HATE Sentinels.
they also were diehard followers of the New Code which preached total absence of all emotion. the consulars actively dissuaded padawans from taking the Guardian path, and pushed the Sentinels to the brink of extinction. the irony is, with just a dozen more sentinels, and several more guardians? the Jedi may have had many more members survive the purge.
but yeah, most jedi were purists when it came to combat. force powers and rigid adherence to the Lightsaber forms... except for Form VII as that was viewed as a Sith form. any deviation was discouraged heavily, if not outright punished.
i would place Cal as a Pure Sentinel class Knight at this point.
@@K.M.Donovan you misunderstood they limit what they can do with the tool they have because that's all they know
@@redpapa859 not to disagree, but you clearly have not read a lot of the expanded universe content if that is your thought process.
In many of the stories? The jedi were arrogant. So assured of their skill with the force and their lightsaber, they never bothered to learn anything else.
Many younger jedi did in fact suggest trying something new. But the older generation refused to hear it. Claiming, in the words of obi-wan, it was too uncivilised.
Some jedi were exactly as you describe. But most of the council? They wanted to maintain the status quo, and refused anything that would change that.
Its one of the biggest reasons the order fell. They had become arrogant.
The second Denvik heard Vader’s name, he knew he was screwed.
As every Jedi learns eventually, being a Jedi is easy when you are only involved as some arbiter of justice and not directly affected.
There's something so sad when Bode addresses Cal as his best friend...
24:40 that has to be the best “alright I’m in” I’ve ever heard
Remember this version of cal only came to be after he survived an encounter with Vader
Wow. So glad I found this video. I have been seriously underutilizing his darkside power. Great stuff. Time for another playthrough.
Appreciate the support! As Darth Sidious once said,
The dark side of the Force is a pathway to many abilities some consider to be unnatural.
Have fun and experiment plenty! I recommend Fort Kah’lin. Great spot to fight and grind. 💯😎😈
Cal went from jedi to Gangsta 😎
when cal just swipse the blaster out of denvik's hand gave me chills
I love that cal is straped now
In the next Game CAL has to FIGHT VADER!!
Of all the playthroughs ove seen, everyone kept a beard or stubble on him. This is what he would look like if he never grew one. Doesnt look much older then fallen order, just a little more hardened.
You are gonna want to install infinite rage cheat code to be able to embrace the darkness in jedi survivor as much as you need to survive.
Can you keep infinite rage from the start of new game plus?
Spiralling down to the Dark Side, I see.
My second favorite version of cal. Undercut and clean shaven, makes it look like he is only in his early 20s and then the original with his og hair and stubble which makes it look like he's late 20s early 30s.
That ISB OFiccer who said he'll report you for insubordination, is CLEARLY blinded that he is mouthing off someone MULTIPLE ranks above him...
imagine a series with the same actor reprising the role of Cal Kestis
Gotta love Cal with the modern 2024 haircut
I love how this game also shows the division within the Empire and how it caused the rebels to have the victories that they have
only butchered dozens of troopers and officers. But oh boy, gutting this one ISB guy is truly the step towards darkness.
i love how you can ruthlessly cut through dozens if not hundred of human beings while on a dark side rampage...but that's not going too far. its only going too far if you kill the last guy because...because what? because we know his name?
Ikr I hate that trope so much
to be fair though, theres hundreds of soldiers all attacking cal at once and hes fighting in self defense and to get out of there, meanwhile theres one dude he can easily disarm and knock out, but hes about to kill him in cold blood out of pure rage. if cal did kill him like that, theres a chance he could spiral down into a cycle of hate and murder just like anakin
It just speaks volumes of how stupid the rules between the "light" and the "dark" have become.
Used to be that the "light side" was just the default and the "dark side" was an unnatural corruption, Jedi followed a specific doctrine and grey Jedi were just Jedi who didn't follow the doctrine.
Now the light and dark are two sides of the same coin, you can just swap sides when you want, and grey Jedi are le epic force centrists who get all the powers (but are somehow still good).
Welcome to modern Star Wars. Everyone’s like “They’re trying to kill him!” but no shit they’re trying to kill him because they’re part of the military and he literally infiltrated a top secret base. Of course they’re going to kill him. Go break into a military base or the Pentagon while armed and hurt people and see what they try to do to you lol. So many people live in fantasy land and the writing shows that.
@@ABonafideSkeleton Except that's how Star Wars works? The Light is the default and the Dark is a corruption. Grey Jedi aren't a thing and that's not at all what the game is saying. You're just reading too much of people's fanfiction about how Star Wars works. Cal dipped into the dark side, then was talked down and became a light sider again just like how Anakin dipped into the dark a few times and was able to be brought back before he fully turned.
can we appreciate greez, "You want me to fly through a ship eating nebula using 200 year old tech?! Okay i'm in."
This is honestly how the Jedi should be. Unforgiving and playing the enemies game against them and treating them accordingly. Not being the peaceful, polite peace keepers to all things
Wow he looks soooo much better then the first game 😮
This is when cal turned into Jerome Valeska
Jin"s ghost stance
Cal's darkside rampage
Spider-man's venom rampage
All similar
What about kratos spartan rage?
I need to know the blaster combo, genuinely one of the best I’ve seen in awhile
Bruh went full dark side and showed us he really could be Galen Marack's apprentice
18:28 that block sequence.
"Don't give in Cal!" She says after he just killed like a hundred people.
Can we just all appreciate the acting?
