@@Major98 i know doesn’t mean I have to care about her. So what’s the problem with me not caring about a character I barely know anything about. Like the starter mission were you’re whole crew but sense Cal knows them, by that logic should I care about them? No

@@JB-nl7zt yeah that’s a fair point, but a trend is a trend

[@TheLeeBonner]

That’s a fair point but I’m afraid yours isn’t. Using the terminology ‘every Jedi game’ and ‘always pays out’ implies that there is at least 3 games otherwise you’re only commenting on the sequel being more ambitious than the first which is what sequels are supposed to do.

[@MythicJedi]

@@TheLeeBonner 😩 guys… who cares?

[@TheLeeBonner]

Sorry mate but agree with you they improved on the first game and hopefully you are correct they do so again

[@ProfoundLoreOfficial]

Was actually a fan of the High Republic storyline in this, it actually made that era intriguing with its overall aesthetic and Dagan was a sick character I thought.

[@TheLeeBonner]

Agree. I’d they use the empire too much things will get stale. Was the perfect sequel in my opinion with real story progression. Had they choose to make this story all Cal vs Empire round 2 then it’s gonna start to feel highly unrealistic that he keeps ‘winning’. Here he fought other threats that felt natural, it’s didn’t feel forced at all, while still suffering real losses as well towards the end as the Empire tracks him down and gets their Empire strikes back moment that will make whatever happens in the sequel feel more real and earned whatever happens. If the trilogy is the conclusion to Cal’s fight with the Empire, Which it undoubtedly will be, and that’s the whole focus of the game just fighting empire forces and inquisitors and such then it won’t be stale because of the plot in this game being different to that just enough but also advancing Cal’s struggle against the empire at the same time.

[@Kobalt_Rax_the_one]

Yea , the High Republic seems to work better on screen , we still have SW Eclipse and the TV series Acolyte, that could make it that much more interesting . Wish Dagan was still alive for the third game for more screen time and development.

[@Major98]

Gonna get called a shill but I think more people should give High Republic a chance. Yeah some novels are better than others but the same could be said for any other era. I honestly liked the first phase of books with Light of the Jedi and Rising Storm

[@gabrielcarrasco9078]

I agree. It was refreshing to see a new enemy. I liked how out of place Dagan was as well. A relic of a bygone Era. He didn't have to be an enemy, but he chose his path due to anger and resentment. Only thing I wish would have happened is seeing Vader be the one to kill Dagan.

[@uliseto]

I just wish the High Republic took place a couple thousand years earlier, I can't take it seriously because 200 years is not enough to be different or leave enough remnants to discover.

[@AnUnlikelyAthlete]

If its meant to be a trilogy, its really about Cal's journey. In Fallen Order he was learning how to be a jedi in a time when all jedi are dead and gone. He learns he is not alone and progresses until he becomes a jedi night. In the Second game, Survivor, we see Cal bitter and feeling defeated, what outcome has his actions affected. The overarching theme of the game is watching Cal arrive at the desire to continue fighting if not for himself but for others, he is not pure jedi, but he has adopted the overarching mantra and ideals of the Jedi. With this, the third game will probably be the next level of his development, that of teacher and Jedi master, as Kata becomes his pupil. With Cere gone, he now has to take on the role of teacher and master. Just my opinion. Always more interested in Cal's internal struggle.

[@SuccessfulGeezer]

I loved that they focused more on the high rebublic. We have so much content about the empire, its nice to have something fresh.

[@stephen8805]

Yeah I’m burnt out by the Empire. It’s so repetitive.

[@xavierramirez2397]

I think Cal will be taking over as leader of the Hidden Path and hopefully that puts him in a position to meet Ashoka. But now that Cal has tapped into the Dark Side and continues to do so after the game even, I agree they need to dig into that more. Going to Korriban seems amazing. But I think we are going to see Cal struggling against his own darkness like Cere did. I keep thinking about if Merrin was given Jedi training powered up with Nightsister abilities.

[@Major98]

I'm down for cameos/famous appearancesthat make sense and both Ahsoka or Maul make sense considering the timeline. Obviously i think Boba plays a bigger part than a cameo in the third game

[@drdapper1899]

There’s one interaction in the Mantis where Kata asks Merrin if she’d teach her to dance. To me it seems pretty obvious Kata is shaping up to be a padawan, which I’m super excited for. But, if Merrin sticks around, I wonder if she’d teach Kata more than just dancing? Either way, the story of Kata and Cal as it is right now is super promising, and does have a lot to pull from in the future. I’m fairly confident that she’ll end up as a force sensitive child, and trained as a padawan. That much I’m willing to bet on 😂 but, with Merrin being somewhat involved as of right now, I wonder if Kata could possibly learn to combine Jedi force techniques with nightsister magicks? I don’t want her to become a very occult character like Merrin was in Fallen Order, but the idea of a young girl having so much potential to go so many ways, her growing to be a Jedi who’s dabbled in magicks could be super super cool. Sort of like how Sidious was very educated in many different teachings of the force, not just the Sith

[@SheoMad]

Cal could find a Sith Holocron and open it and that’s what teaches him how to use force lightning or something. Which would be a good explanation on how he’d learn how to do that.

[@mac1991seth]

...but then it would open the plot hole on how Rey unknowingly unlocked yet another Force power. You know, random mind trick, random force pull, random lightning. At least for now we can make the excuse that she got a bit too angry fighting Kylo Ren.

[@FreezeFun]

​@@mac1991sethYeah well the first guy to ever do force lightning must've done it either randomly or figure out how to do it on their own. That can happen to Cal as well.

It would be nice to see how Cal handles balancing the light and dark side in this next game, and could be neat to see him struggle with it. I also wanna see how he interacts with people from here on. A LOT of people have betrayed him, so I wanna know how careful he’ll become when making friends.

[@darthplagueis7055]

I bet you Kata will be what “saves” him. Cal will struggle with the dark side emotions and struggle with his feelings to include Merrin and the unknown between the two of them and I’m sure Cal will do things that are questionable and kata will snap him back to the light side

[@NHTube1]

The Arkham games are mediocre

[@builderphill1361]

​@@darthplagueis7055 it could be kind of the opposite I think, kata could see how strong cal is when he feeds into his dark side but it makes it so some situation kata saves cal by using the dark side(assuming she's force sensitive) and cal could come to the realization he's going down the wrong path

[@KingShibe]

Cal won't hesitate to kill next game. He gave too many chances in this one

[@isthatajojoreference.]

I feel like cal is gonna be the cannon verson of legends Luke skywalker since he does mirror a lot of things that Luke did in the legends timeline and maybe cal makes a new Jedi order that mirrors the legends verson of Luke’s order, Just as Luke did cal found and was not afraid to love Merrin, just as Luke did with Mara jade you could say that there a lot alike since they did try to kill both of there love ones when the first met. Second Cal sees the problem with the dogmatic views of the Jedi order and he leaves it behind just as Luke Skywalker did, and he ends up creating his own Jedi order that doesn’t have those dogmatic views At least that’s what I hope is going on, but only time will tell

[@abel_medaris]

Now that they have Tanalorr, and Merrin has her new powers of reconstructing long destroyed objects and structures, we could see them at some point undoing the destruction of the holocron and regaining access to the list of force sensitive children, essentially giving Luke a head start on his new Jedi Order when/if Cal crosses paths with him in the future.

[@KingShibe]

I don't think it works like that.

[@Puggylord316]

The holocron only allows you to see the data itself. The data is inside a kyber crystal and that was destroyed eliminating the data from within.

I deeply enjoyed the story from this game. A lot of people think the High Republic era is lame but i thought they did a great job of introducing it to those who haven’t read the books like myself. I hope this isn’t the end because I’m so excited to see where they could take Cal’s story next💯

[@kaiz2646]

This is my theory: Cal in the 3rd game learns how to control both the light side and the dark side. We see later in Jedi Survivor that Cal starts to tap into his darker side, but we can tell he is resentful of it, and doesn’t want to do it. I would love for him to go down more of what Ashoka went down, where she is neither a Jedi or a Sith, but in the middle, learning how to control both the light and dark side to her advantage without becoming lost and pulled too far to either side. This would be a cool narrative for Cal to become the first Grey Jedi (fyi I have no idea when Ashoka officially became a grey Jedi so I could be wrong). But that would be so cool and would kinda give some big importance to Cal in the galaxy if he really was the first Grey Jedi to appear. Or at least, the first one to appear in a long time. Obviously Kata will have a significant role in the story, so what if Cal’s fear of losing Kata or failing his Teacher Cere’s wish could really have him struggle with the dark side. But that’s just my theory, don’t take it too literal lmao.

[@mike197714]

Yup

[@skyrider169]

Grey jedi aren't canon. Should be though

[@TreyJ_mx]

Would love to see Cal start training Kata as something that transcends the Jedi balancing both the light and dark

[@tannyocean9984]

Yeah I think Kata would become a Jedi that also learns magick from Merrin, that’ll be dope

[@necrotic256]

Story jumps another 5-10 years, with Kal being Kata's father figure essentially. Teaching her to protect herself, but she not showing her force affinity until crucial moment when she tries to save Kal/Merrin. From there, training her basics of force/lightsaber. 3/4 of the game playing as Kal, 1/4 of the game as a grown up Padawan Kata, trying to rescue Kal from Empire at the end of the game. My prediction, see you in 3-5 years

[@jordanhooper1527]

Personally not a fan of the cal becoming an apprentice of Darth Vader, but I like the other ideas for sure! Would be interesting to see cal meet Ashoka maybe?

[@fisher2000]

It would be nice if the third game brings it full circle and brings back the eluded zeffo species. Travelling into the unknown regions as cal would make sense if the hidden path is established on kobah. Cal hopefully embraces the path between the light and dark, that would give us an interesting look at the character development

[@Celtjak7]

I wish they had more decision making like in kotor with the dark side and light side options dominating your path and what abilities you can use so you can roleplay a jedi sith or grey jedi

[@DanWeeks]

Yeah, I agree, but frankly I don't think the creators have the spine to do it. Modern Star Wars is all about "there is no good or evil," so there are no consequences and nothing matters.

[@miragemain105]

Doesnt Cere specifically tell Cal to guide her through the force It heavily implies Kata is force sensitive, i feel that Cal is gonna be her teacher and her adoptive parent since both he and Merrin didnt really wanna kill Bode, he just forced their hand and amazingly Kata seems to understand that but could end up resenting them all for it even

[@marcusdixon8274]

I really hope that they don’t follow the GoW model. I love GoW and they did those games so well that it would be impossible to live up to. I think it would be best if they went in their own direction. Love your vids Theory!

[@cantrip5849]

one thing id love to see focused on is the role fear plays for both sides of the force. it is fear that led jedi toward the path of avoidance of emotions, it is fear the sith prey on inside force users to switch over, it was fear that ultimately led to anakins turn. fear is subtly tied to every moment in this series, i think a cool thing to do with cal's third adventure is to focus on controlling and conquering those fears, that could lead him to studying the dark side, visiting old sith relics, as way to run away from his fear of the dark side.

[@itscaZZa]

Jedi: (insert name here) - Plot Idea I would love to see an interest in Cal learning of Vaapad and wanting to learn it himself to perfectly balance his emotions. Maybe this would give him the chance to finally create his own lightsaber as a means of finally moving on from the past. I could potentially see an encounter with Mace Windu if this were to happen. I know we have seen Cal with a “master” in both games so far, however, this could be his final step into ascending into the true Jedi that he could be! Samuel L. Jackson has also been extremely vocal in his desire to revisit the role of Mace and this could be a great opportunity for that to happen. Cal crafts his own purple lightsaber and and we finally get closure for Mace as we learn what truly happened on that fateful night on Coruscant. Cal is then able to return to Merrin and Kata with what he believes to be the difference between the light side and dark side. Similar to Luke’s ideology in Legends. We then explore the idea of Cal and Merrin attempting to bring Kata up the best way they can. Just some thoughts I had! Gotta admit, tell me this game wouldn’t be 🔥!

[@tiefighterscreech5558]

Keep up the epic work theory, you the best

[@thehiddenone2875]

I hope they dig into Cals dark side more but they shouldnt go as far as Cal being Vaders secret apprentice. I think a story around a Sith planet like Corriban would be sick and Cal discovering more and more what the Dark Side is. I think he could be a pretty good grey Jedi

[@locoartsuu9607]

personally i'd LOVE these ideas: 1. Cal mentors Kata 2. We try to avoid plot points done by previous ones (Jedi holocron again? Opening the wrong bacta tank again?) 3. Cal delves into dark side powers to blend it with good intentions 4. He becomes crucial to the hidden path or Rebel alliance, hoping for a cameo 5. His story ends in perhaps, triggering/affecting battle of Yavin/Endor or anything Empire-breaking, as Rogue one ended with A New Hope.

[@spencergates5766]

I’m excited to see what Cal does in response to his brush with the dark side. In most real-world religions as well as the Jedi, if you have temptations you can either give in and let them consume you, or you can fight them off with the light side. Like in ROTJ Luke used the dark side just a bit when Vader threatened to find and turn Leia, Luke went crazy and beat Vader, but realized what he was doing and turned back to the light. Cal is now faced with this decision, he can either go full dark side or fight the temptations and return to the light. It’ll be interesting to see how it plays out in the next game.

[@DanWeeks]

He's already made that decision. As a player, you can now go Dark Side repeatedly with no cost other than filling that meter. And in story, he faced the same choice Cere did, but while Cere pulled herself back and refused to kill Vader, Cal made no such concession with Bode.

[@liamthelion.]

On my second play through, and while I'm not too sure on what could happen next there's small seeds planted through the story that would be interesting to see grow. For now it seems Merrin has taken more of the mentor approach with Kata, and while the next game may focus on Cal and Kata growing closer in a master/apprentice and surrogate family relationship, I could also see Kata learning skills from Merrin as Cal stays a protector. There was a point in the story where Cere doubles down on her claims about Cal's nature; that he can't sit still and needs to act no matter the danger. One could say that the negative side of this impulse is what made him go for the neck of the Empire on Coruscant, and inevitably be labeled a terrorist of sorts. In many ways throughout the story, Cal reminded me more of a bruiser/fighter in his approach instead of the methodic approach some Jedi's may take against adversity. For the next game, I could see Cal continuing to be this fighter/protector with his nature as a force user. He could be protecting the Hidden Path and taking that fight head on, further searching himself and trying to control a growing anger and hatred (yes I know we can control his dark side, but that narrative could always flip if some shit hit the fan). From there? I got no idea. I think it depends on whether they wanna go into Legends territory or not, but with where we are with Cal, I don't think it'd be time to pass the story on to Kata. Maybe a spinoff, but I have a feeling there's much more in his story we haven't gotten to yet.

[@spectre1999]

5:02 an ad appeared at the perfect time here. Mace Windu was talking to Obi-Wan about “Mr. Clean’s magic eraser.”

[@The92Ghost]

From the way the story carries so far, Cal Kestis is following exactly the same path which Anakin Skywalker walked until he turned dark. From what I understand by the end of this game Kestis already had a taste of the Dark Side of the Force and even though he somewhat resisted it, you can tell that he also embraced it and liked it on a few occasions even if it scared him. In the next game most, likely we will see him tutoring Kata if she is Force sensitive but most likely somewhere down the path of the third instalment, we see his love interest find her demise which will completely unlock his dark side and walk down that path. Maybe Kata will be one of the few elements that will help him come back to the light eventually... This is how I see the story develop, it is simple logic and the elements are there, Cal is going to face the dark side in the next game and most likely embrace it. We actually see that happening in the First game, when he looks into the wall that acts as a Mirror in the Jedi Temple showing him as corrupted with yellow eyes. One of my favourite moments actually in Fallen Order, seeing Cal corrupted by the Dark Side. I bet that in the third game we will return to the Jedi temple on Bogano for some reason during his corruption moment and we will touch that wall as part of the story which will allow him to see his reflection as a Jedi from the 1st game and that will most likely be a part of his redemption. Later on, perhaps he will get the chance to fully redeem himself becoming a Grey Jedi with the help of Kata, and hopefully survive for the TV series. Since there is already talks about him being in the Ahsoka Tano's TV series. If things develop this way, Cal will actually be the second Grey Jedi in the universe during the Skywalker Era, first being Ahsoka Tano.

I agree with narz, I’d rather see him have an epic, respectful death like Cere, Cordova, or even Kanan Jarrus, where after having played his role he’s tied off in a satisfying and respectful death. I would much prefer this to Disney sucking the life out of him for years to come.

That would be a great story to see Cal further battle his dark side as Vader tries to manipulate him in classic fashion. Having Merin, Greez and Kata around as a support group help remind Cal to stay in the light as well as a force ghost interjection from Cere at a pivotal moment could really elevate the story. We’ve all had moments where it’s easy to give in and having good friends, parents, or some form of support really helps in those times. Totally relatable

We already saw Cal leading towards the dark side. He lets his emotions guide him just like Anakin did before he turned to the dark side. It is possible that Cal could turn to the dark side and then turn back to the light side and help our heroes fight against the empire for a final battle right before his death/or goes off on his own journey with Merrin and enjoys the rest of his life with her and having Kata as an adopted daughter. He is emotionally attached to everything and characters dying has a major impact on him, more than the standard Jedi.

[@aphicient]

I like either storyline but omg the last one. Imagine switching between Cal and Kata; switching between getting taught the dark side by Vader and Flashbacks to Kata getting trained by Cal before he turned. OR There’s a Light/Hero side play though playing as Kata and then once you complete that, you can play as Cal through the same events but the other side - a dark/villain side play through

[@ryanwate4123]

I hope they have Cal follow more of a "grey jedi" path vs going full blown dark side. Always love the little grey jedi parts we got in some of the legends books and their balance between light and dark.

[@Foxster_13]

I think a third game will be the final game, at least for Cal Kestis, as we may get other Jedi games. I also think a Sith inspired plot would be interesting and play onto Cal's sort of struggle with the Darkside. I don't think any character like an ancient Sith would appear as that would be too similar to Survivor, and I presume the Devs would want to try and tell a different story rather than taking similarities from the last instalment. I will say that the Empire should have a bigger focus in the third game as if they do another time jump of another 5 years, it would be a year just after Andor, so the Rebellion would have been officially created by that point or at least starting to. I don't believe we'll get Cal becoming Vader's apprentice as I don't think Vader is that interested. To be honest, I think he would have probably preferred Cere but was forced to kill her. As a title for the next game, I think it could perhaps be called Jedi: Exiles or Jedi: Exiles.

I'm super hyped about these games. The progression in story and gameplay from the first to the second iteration has been awesome. However, I believe in order to make the third game feel new and fresh like it did between the previous games; Cal needs new abilities, new lightsaber combat styles and for me the best way to do that is to make him become more in touch with the dark side. Whether it is him struggling with it or walking somewhere in the in-between like a Grey Jedi. I hope the next game is amazing and tells a story of Merrin and Cal, Kata in training, Cal building or running missions for the Hidden Path, I hope Cal's story is ultimately happy in the end. At the end of these games, my preferred ending would be that the whole crew is on Tanalorr at a Hidden Path base full of survivors, with an ending scene of Merrin being visibly pregnant hugging Cal and (a young adult) Kata.

[@mrhali91939]

I hope there is a sequel to Jedi Survivor. It would break the cycle of Star Wars games like the KOTOR and KOTOR 2, OG Battlefront and Battlefront 2, The Force Unleashed 1 and 2, and of course Battlefront 1 and 2 from EA. Funny how there are always 2 (no more, no less) games in a series and they move on... But hopefully now we can get the third game with Cal.

[@23majesticblue]

I mean there are so many directions they can go with in the next game. I liked how much stronger Cal has become since the first game, I think it will be interesting in what kind of abilities there will be in the third game and the conflicts Cal has within himself about using the dark side. Even though in the ending, the screen color turns back to blue from red, there is still that conflict within him about using the dark force slow push especially when fighting it against enemies. That would be cool to have sith planets of some kind in the third game or even having spirit of some kind of sith lord trying to manipulate Cal into tapping more into the dark side. When I saw that star destroyer in the end, the empire will have to be going after Cal and his allies, and maybe even attacking Koboch. The containers from the first and second game should of been used for upgrading Cal's powers and his lightsaber.

[@GumGob1in]

the only thing that worries me… they did such a great job with this game. for me, in my personal opinion, it’s better than fallen order (although seeing more zeffo things would have been cool). i worry that they’ll be unable to keep up, and the third game would just feel like dlc. they’ve done so many customization improvements. as most things with star wars as of late, i need to not get my hopes up. it would be very cool if Cal could learn better balance in the force. maybe use a little bit of force lightning?

it would also be really cool if instead of becoming “starkiller” Cal meets Galen as he begins to join/ form the rebellion.

Galen Marek/ Starkiller is just too cool of a character to just replace.

I can kinda see a pattern with Cal’s story too. In Jedi Fallen Order he is still a padawan, in Jedi Survivor he is a Jedi Knight, and then in the third game I’d assume he’d be a Jedi Master. Maybe not officially, but he’d be Kata’s master. I’d imagine she’d be force sensitive like her father was

[@hiedra68]

I love both games. I love the story they tell and I love how Cal has evolved to be a more complex, more complete Jedi. What I don't want is him loosing the balance between light and darkness he seems to have mastered at the end of Jedi Survivor. That's how the perfect Jedi looks to me. A Force user who uses mostly the light side but could use the dark side as a last resource without falling for it. I don't understand the fascination some people seem to have for Sith lords or dark side users. I mean, who can be happy chewing their own negativity all day long and recurring to their fears, anger, bad memories and frustration just to access the power they crave? No, thanks.

I still have my hopes up for a possibility of 2 ends. I hope as the game goes on you can make choices of choosing the light or the dark. In Survivor Cal tapped into the Dark side a lot in the mid to end game. What I am hoping for is that the game gives you choices in the story to walk the light or dark, and in the end depending on alignment you are (light or dark) will depend on the ending. I dislike when a game forces a choice on you like how star wars always wants the player to be a good Jedi. That is why games like SWTOR, Force Unleashed and Empire at war are some of my favorites because you can choose to be evil and play as the empire instead of your normal Jedi Knight against the empire. I know that the likelihood of the game allowing you to choose the dark side will be slim, but if I can choose what kind of character Cal will be in the 3rd game then it will definitely be one of my favorite star wars games. I would love to see Cal use some force lightning or force choke, but the way the game will go Cal will redeem himself and become a Jedi Master, or die.

[@oXRaptorzXo]

Even though these games are technically canon, I would love to see them add in some things more associated with legends, like Sith temples and Koriban.

Making Cal becoming grey would be interesting. If he realises the dangers of the dark side after falling in it, and knows the lackings and mistakes of the jedi, becoming grey would be great for his character. Imagine Cal saying to Vader in an epic final boss fight: "I am no Sith, and I'm no Jedi".

[@IdreesNajibi]

The Vader apprentice route would be sick Star Wars Jedi: Fallen

[@mathitis93]

I think it's more likely that Cal will train Kata in the ways of the jedi, and Merrin will teach her nightsister magic. Then, in a few years, the empire will kidnap Kata and turn her into an inquisitor. Jedi 3 may be about Cal and Merrin trying to rescue their adopted daughter, all while training a new group of force users. It would draw parallels between Cal and Cere, being that Cere had to overcome her darkside and also losing her padawan to the empire.

Jedi: Hunter. I wanna see Cal go after the inquisitors to stop them from "recruiting" more force sensitive children. They feed false information to the empire to lure inquisitors into traps to be killed. I also wanna see him and Quinlan Vos team up to lead the Hidden Path together. And since Cal has been using his psychometry on dead/ murdered beings (which is a big no-no) Quinlan can teach him how to do it without becoming more susceptible to the darkside. And to really drive the point home they go to a planet strong with the darkside of the force to do it. Cal, after overcoming his darkness, and Quinlan both eventually have a run in with Vader at the end of the game and both die to protect Kata and everyone else in the Hidden Path. Kata then is comforted by a new master, Ezra Bridger.

If they where to just jump 8 years and just give us John it wouldn’t have worked nearly as well. That’s kinda the problem with read dead 1 and just giving us jack as a free roam character. Kinda felt a little forced. There’s no way respawn is going to have enough time to flesh out Katas grown up character and create a 8 hour epilogue to seamlessly connect her to the free roam aspects of the game. It just wont work. And even then, she will still be very young. No where near Cals power. It would just be watering down the gameplay. In terms of the cosmetics side of things, John being able to wear all of the cosmetics that where available for Arthur just works. Because they’re of a similar build (And they kinda just ran out of time and took Arthur’s body and plastered Johns face onto it). They couldn’t do that with Kata. And another difference between the two games is power. Red dead is all about gunslingers. Jack was the blood of John. It makes sense that he became really quick with the gun in 3 years time. The Jedi and the bonding with the force is a decades long process.

Nice theories. However your issue is Timeline.

I wont lie, if they were to do something about Cal learning about Revan and maybe something he hid and the Empire was after, that would be a fun way to tell some story that would lead up to the release of the KoToR remake they would be making. It could give Cal new means to learn a path related Revan turning back to the light and seeing how he was able to become so strong and many respected to follow his teaching. This could, for fans, tie in to Mandalore and hunting down maybe relics related to Revan like his mask or his sabers hidden maybe there. This could take people to places like Koriban and other worlds we yet see like even Nar Shadaa. This would mean he could go up against the Empire with a new threat of like some Imperial Officer hunting down relics for the Emperor, Mandalorians aiding him some what, and perhaps meeting some tied to some fan favorite characters. We could see this as a new way of having unique sabers based around characters from the SW series that are well known and even as far back as kotor. We could get outfits inspired by many movies and series that could be like wearing Imperial armor, Mando armor, or even jedi sith clothing that all reflect moments in SW lore. Perhaps Cal could even be some what haunted by the ghost of Revan and its trying to teach Cal both sides of the light and dark but many fear he is falling to the dark from it but Revans ghost is merely trying to save him from that darkness, like a new master to him. Or we could see him find holocrons that teach him new force skills that tie to old republic or even other masters like Kenobi or Mace. I also like them to ditch the saber styles for Saber Forms. You could still be able to do so much with that and you could have a custom form that uses a blaster but please let that form be better, love it but hate the starting attack with the saber being a lung. Anyways thats my thoughts, love to hear what you just gave us and can't wait to see whats next.

I could see Cal turning to the dark side or learning to use both sides of the force. I could not see him joining Vader and the Empire. The Empire took everything from him and it has been ingrained in his identity to fight them. That wouldn't make any sense for his character.

[@MizzterFu]

I honestly see a very similar formula from the prequels on these games, specifically on Cal’s journey. Ep1/JFO We see Innocent protagonists(Anakin/Cal) who already have gone through stuff and while they remain pretty innocent, there is enough there to be concerned about the protagonists’ future. Then on Ep2/JS the protagonists start to really battle with the darkside and both of them tap into it without fully submitting to it. Cal judged Bode and Dagan but he already fell to a similar path Dagan did and now that he has Kata to protect, he could easily find himself in a similar position to Bode when he grows an attachment for her. Not to mention Both Anakin and Cal make a promise to be stronger when their loved ones died (tho they were driven by different things. Cal wants to build something strong to outlast the empire and Ani wanted to stop people from dying) I also see Bode and Dagan as representations of Cal much like Maul, Griveous and Dooku are to Anakin. I also thought of the Cal being the new SK theory and i don’t think its that far fetched but we will see. Anyways.. I think Cal will definitely lean more on the darkside for the majority of the next game. After finishing survivor, this story seems to be written already, Survivor made me appreciate JFO even more and some critiques i had are gone because it just feels like the journey is already set much like the pre disney films. Maybe the prequel formula will play out all the way with Jedi 3 being similar to ROTS as the previous two did. I honestly cant wait
