I've played Star Wars Jedi Survivor twice now and It's by far one of the best, if not the best Star Wars game, that I have played, story-wise. Given my clear passion for this game, I wanted to give the point of view of Cal Kestis the highlight and summarize some of his struggles into one edit. I do hope you enjoy it, and do let me know what you thought of the game? (Aside from the performance issues...)

And they will say: “its only a game”
But for those who do go through with the journey, they will never forget what Impact it left behind.
This... this.. is a masterpiece.

Both Jedi Fallen Order and Jedi Survivor have better story and better written characters than everything Disney released so far and are amazing games in general people who say its just game are missing awesome stuff.
@@Extreme96PLtrue. I like some of the TV shows Disney has given us with Star Wars but this is some next-level stuff right here with Cal Kestis
Holy fuck, this was genuinely one of the best edits I've seen for a game. Cal has got to be one of the best new Star Wars characters we've gotten.
Ah! thank you so much. I'm glad you like it, and yes I agree. Cal is very much at the top!
Cal and mal I feel where characters that where never meant to mean much but they get so much development and we follow them through so much that we can’t help but love them.
The eventual Cal/Vader fight is going to be legendary. It'll hit like crack
And so, we end this second installment in classic Star Wars fashion. Cal didn't really win this time, did he?
Cal suffered two great losses in this game: Cere and Cordova. Both Jedi have been very influential on Cal's life after the Purge and both have helped him grow into the Jedi Knight he's become. Their sudden and violent deaths because of Bode leave him reeling, full of rage and pain. He's angrier than he's ever been in his life after Bode's betrayal.
If you notice, everyone Cal has faced in this series has been a Fallen Jedi and a mirror for him. Trilla was Cere's Padawan, turned to the Dark Side after feeling abandoned by her master. The Ninth Sister was turned through the pain and agony she experienced at the hands of the Empire. Malicos was turned by anger at the Jedi traditions and the lure of Dathomir's power. Dagan felt betrayed by the Republic, turning on everything and everyone he loved because he thought he knew best. Bode turned after the loss of the love of his life at the Empire's hands, giving into his darker nature in the name of keeping Kata safe. And we all know the story of Vader, turned out of fear of losing those he loves.
It's fear that is Cal's greatest obstacle. He's terrified to lose the family he's found after the Purge. Cal's greatest fear is realized the moment Cere dies. He's lost yet another master whose guidance he's counted on. Another person he loves is gone at the hands of the Empire and he's powerless to stop it.
Cal letting go of the Jedi Code let him follow his heart to Merrin. He's allowed himself to love her without restraint. In a time when the Empire is only getting stronger, that's not a bad thing. Merrin is the one good thing that's happened to Cal. She's his anchor now. She's there to remind him of the kind, compassionate person he is.
When we first met Cal, the pain of losing Jaro Tapal had already settled and was something Cal had grown used to. We leave Cal mere days after the loss of Cere, feeling what he felt when Tapal died initially. But he made it through that first loss and he'll make it through this one. And this time around, he's not alone. Merrin and Greez loved Cere as much as he did. They'll face that loss together and maybe helping Kata through the loss of her father will help Cal let go of the anger he feels for Bode, too.
I don't feel like having Cal turn fully to the Dark Side would do him justice. This series has been about hope despite overwhelming odds. Cal's seen enough Jedi fall to the darkness by this point that he knows it isn't the way. It's okay to be scared; the tricky part is not letting that control you.
Bro you have the sauce.
Amazingly well said, thank you for this!
Cal is a lot of great things but he is also RESILIENT.
All of that is a small price to pay for a goth gf from space
WELL SAID. Love your analysis.
Dude this guy is just 22 and he has experienced Soo much loss
Damn
23

I always loved that moment when Greeze says "You gotta know when to walk away from a rigged game. Otherwise you may loose something you can never replace." Talk about foreshadowing. that was just good writing. Playing the game over, I get chills when he says that knowing what eventually will happen.
I got chills when I heard when Dagan Gera said "you think yourself a survivor but you are a failure". Great Tribute!!
I found Dagan to be quite silly in many ways, but he did have some cool lines, like this one! and thank you, glad you liked the tribute!
This is absolutely beautiful. They should have let you make the trailer for the game.
Idc what anyone says, ik the performance issues where a big part on why people didn't like the game but this story, is the best in gaming history. If they compete the trilogy with a banger I will never play another game again. That's how good this series is getting
I had a fair amount of performance issues at some point, but that never stopped me from playing the game through twice. Such a good story!
It is amazing and I think it is on par with gow and ghost of Tsushima
This goes hard. Even harder than Cal around Merrin.
DUDE 🤣🤣🤣
He has become my favorite Jedi
He's up there, that's for sure!
His story kind of reminds me of Ashokas
Beautiful work mate!
Cal has grown a lot as a person and a Jedi, I hope his story will be continued.
May The 4th Be With You!
Thank you very much, Crusade! And yes, for sure he has. Throughout this game, he's become one of my favorite Star Wars characters In canon. Let's see if, in about 5-6 years, we'll get a third installment of the game series.
May The 4th Be With you!
I cannot even fathom the amount of brain damage that the few people who say this game is bad have.
Exceptional. I'm almost in tears. You nailed this brother, may the fourth be with you, ALWAYS
Thank you so much brother. Knowing that you are a big Star Wars fan, and appreicating this edit is certainly a blessing!
*May The 4th Be With You!*
CASUALLY DROPPING THE HARDEST JEDI: SURVIVOR EDIT OF ALL TIME!!! ;______;
Cal Kestis is about $1.50 worth of midicholrians away from being a normal dude named Jake, yet the guy is surviving and finding meaning inside the pressure cooker of the world George Lucas created and I am very here for it.
I wonder.
Cal Kestis has seen so much horror and death that his world is titled after the end of this video, if we do get a third game of Cal, we need to see if he can complete his journey that which he so happens to be scared for.
We certainly do have to see that, yes.
dude the first game, we see him as a padawan, in this one he is a really good jedi knight, if we get a third game he would be a jedi master. Beside the end of the game seem to go this way
I didn't have a favorite Jedi until Cal Kestis. ❤
If I only had one video to show someone to sum up this game, I would show them this video. This is fucking INCREDIBLE!
Thank you so man! I'm honored.
dude, this game is so freakin good
EA/Respawn really outdid themselves and proved what a good AAA SW game can be like
Cal is fighting his way to becoming my favorite Star Wars character. After a third game he probably will be.
Cal has become one of my favourite characters in the Star Wars universe. I absolutely loved this game, they really took it up a notch from Fallen Order in all aspects. Great edit also ❤
Literally just finished the game, this hit home so hard. Incredible work!
That's awesome, such a good game!
Star Wars Jedi Survivor may be my favorite star wars game of all time. Absolutely amazing story and characters, and Cal Kestis is so grown up and is facing the real questions and doubt about fighting the empire, his love for Merrin and the loss of most of his family (again) he is so so close to falling to the dark side. Merrin is the only one keeping him in check now.
I just hope he realizes his force potential. Cal is clearly more talented than most Jedi but his judgement seems to be clouded at times.
Amazing edit that sums up the story to Jedi Survivor.
This game and Andor have pulled me back in
This man needs his own tv series that takes place after the games.
How is this not viral, amazing edit 💯
Thank you very much!
@@EscathonEdits nw
I love that the windswept became a lot of players definitive hairstyle. (Also: finally another orange lightsaber enjoyer)
Its very obi wan and survivor like no?
Quality hairstyle.
I just can't play with anything other than windswept hair for Cal. With either the short or long beard.
This Cal Kestis Tribute is absolutely brilliant!!!
“What have you done?!”
“I have come for you!”
A true masterpiece these two games have been.
Yes!
This game has the best star wars story ever told and no one will change my mind about that
So hyped for when they do the 3rd game, finish it off with Cal vs Vader and with Cal flirting with the dark side im hoping cal gives Vader a hell of a fight. Also hope they add the Drifter outfit with all its colors in the third game as well since the Drifter is the best outfit IMO.
The third installment is being considered as we speak. Really hoping for them to conclude it all with a banger.
Now that i 100 percent the game bro it feels sad that everyone is gone 😢 i fell in love with this game i hope there is more to Cals journey.
-Best game i played since Ragnarok and Spider-man.
I've played through this game so many times already. And it, like it's predecessor. Was a masterpiece. But this, was something new. It didn't just make you feel like your actions have weight. It manufactures, just like halo reach, desperation. It makes you HATE, it makes you burn inside. You feel the loss, the emptiness, the hollow feeling of victory such a cost. When Cere died, you could feel that anguish, and when finally. you'd had enough, Bode using his daughter to escape. The rage us as players could feel was like no other. Giving into the darkness after such a careful, intricate, yet horrible and dark fate, just to savagely mow down every single person in your way. Until the only one left standing in our side of the rim was Bode, was one of the best feelings in a video game I'd ever experienced. Rest in peace Cere. He will guide her through the darkness, we'll make sure he does.
Great edit! Such a good game. Fingers crossed for a live action Cal.
I'm glad you liked the edit, and yes, a live-action would be cool to see! But only if it doesn't come with a comprise over the games.
might be the best edit i’ve seen
I'm honored, thank you!
Just wow 😮 If only we could get actual star wars music here... It would be 🤌🏻
This gave me absolute chills. This is a legit work of art. It's beautiful!
Thank you thank you, I appreciate that!
Beautiful edits every time.
Yeah.. masterpiece
Cal is an actual Jedi Story. He doesn't start of powerful. The game has a constant power creep, but once you get good at fighting mook enemies...you stay good.
You don't feel immortal the stakes and action are real. And if EA will let the company take more time..
These games will be amazing.
This was so well done. I loved this game with all m heart and pray we get a a third and final installment.
I can already see the tribute made for the entire trilogy.
Thank you! and I agree, this game was really good!
This gave me chills! This was so amazing, mate and you did Cal justice by far. I'm not sure I've officially checked out your edits before, but you've just gained another viewer purely off this one. Can't wait for more material from you, I'm always looking for fellow fan editors to check out and this gave me so much inspiration for my own content. Love this!
Thank you very much, I appreciate this a lot!
Bro I’ve watched this a least a 100 times, and I still get goosebumps. Such a great video…. One of my all time favs
Such an incredible story
This is some incredible work. Everything is perfect, the pacing, the dialogue and score, all of it. I just keep watching it over and over.
Best Star Wars game ever. I can’t wait for the third game, but sadly that will be probably the last episode.
Man I really hope cal survives the next game and can make it to meeting Luke and maybe joining his academy as an instructor
*May The 4th Be With You!*
May the 4th be with you
@@justinaluna44 And to you too!
All I can say is.. Wow.
This is truly an amazing edit.
It shows Cal's struggles through everything.
Big props!
great edit, Cal did so much more this game
from the instant you decapitate the 9th sister i knew it was gonna be a more full on game
Both games were absolutely amazing
You really dropped the hardest cal kestis edit of all time and expected us to just not notice huh? This made me feel things, lots of things.
This is an AWESOME edit. Holy shit the chills man. Thanks UA-cam algorithm for putting this in my feed.
2:29 these fvcking transitions go hard!
This was perfect, id love to see this combined with FO story as well.
So good! Just finished my own story edit tonight and it's crazy how similar and different our takes are-- love the quiet hopefulness and longing that you emphasized. What a great game.
We all capture different perspectives from every adventure we have, even in games. Its great to see this form of diversity in the editing community!
Wow. Just wow. Made me love this game even more. And I didn't think that was possible lol
Haha, well I am glad that was the case, thank you!
I watched this like a movie since i cant play, 7+ hour movie. I love star wars
I loved just going around pretending to be a Sith and having fun but then I realise. “I don’t want this to happen to him..”
Oh just don’t mind me crying over here
Need a napkin? :o
His story is the trilogy that I hope we get that starkiller never had, and it’s own story outside of Disney and it is awesome and Disney wonders why fans love his story more then the sequel trilogy because it’s great story and great character development it’s the best star wars game in decades
The Jedi: series has proven to be really great, that's for sure!
that hair style makes alot of sense
I’ve watched this video so many times and it’s one of the best videos I’ve seen for Jedi Survivor. Amazing job.
I appreciate that very much, thank you!
This Obi-Wan looks really good
I should’ve watched this after I beat the game cuz I just spoiled myself with some big things here BUT IDC BECAUSE THIS WAS WORTH WATCHING. In fact, now I’m even MORE HYPED to continue the game!
One of the best Star Wars games in my opinion….great story. Awesome video man!
Incredible incredible incredible video, amazingly done! 👏👏👏
Thank you so much!
Cal is up there with Ezra and Ben Solo as one of my favorite characters in the Disney era
I can't wait to see how his story ends in the next game
Masterpiece..
The game and the edit.
You are amazing at what you do.
I mean that.
Ay, thank you very much!
you never dissapoint with these edits! I love the style that you chose for Cal, makes him fit with the edit so much. keep it up man happy may 4th!
Thank brother! I'm glad you like the style and the edit, haha!
A true Master piece put together…
Thank you. It gets my vote for game of the year❤🏆
Everyone and every illusion and lie falls apart, fearing and afraid of what is always at the face of simply telling the truth 🕊️🦋🥀
Kata: you really a jedi??? Cal:i am Luke Line❤❤❤ so cool🥺🥺🥺
I felt it was an important touch!
that hair plus beard give jedi master vibez
Sweet!
this hits twice as hard because these are the cosmetics I used lmaoo
Reletability hits hard once again!
Honestly what an amazing video. One of the best gaming tributes I have seen! Absolutely loved this
Thank you so much!
You're more than welcome! A good idea could be grey jedi? Start off with him on red saber and then use white...think it's cool idea or something on those lines 🤷🏻♂️
Thanks for making my eyes sweat!!!!😢😢 amazing work! And this is easily one the best star wars game in a while
What an epic and heartfelt summary. I was surprised to see how there are so few ones, yet this is such a great story! You really nailed its essence, thank you!
Poor Kata😞😔😭, I feel sorry for him
I hope the translator translates well enough because I am learning English and I come from Poland🤍❤
Emotional! A real tear jerker. congrats
This is absolutely beautiful. I've made edits myself but this surpasses anything I could ever hope to do.The timing of the edits is amazing, the scene planning and choices are so perfectly done to a professional level. I am so impressed with everything you've done here!!!! Amazing job!!!!
This is better than the trailer
this might just be the cleanest game edit I've ever seen
Much of thanks!
Can’t wait for the 3rd one. Going to have to wait another 3 in a half years though😔. Fourtunatley it’ll go by quickly.
This is a masterpiece! Honestly. Seeing this with Neffex' Song: mindblowing, gave me goosebumps.
I’m ready for part 3 fellas!!
This edit is amazing, loved it! It's even better for me, because it's the exact same look I chose for Cal on my first playthrough (aside from the full beard), the same light saber color and incredibly similar hilt. Made it feel more immersive. Great work!
Oh, that's quite interesting. I personally felt this style and outfit were very fitting for Cal. Still has that "Jedi" feel to it but still keeps that respectable uniqueness and distance to the order. I'm glad it resonated more with you due to the matching outfit. And thank you!
This is amazing Escathon. ❤
The only thing that I hate in this game is that frog boss fight
I just can't wait for the next one
Incredible work! Match cuts and transitions :)
Thank you!
Cal has such a unique and sad character and this just proved why
Idc what anyone says the windswept hair and full beard is Cal’s canon look. I had it on my first playthrough and will always wear it
When I start a new game on ng+ I equip Cal’s hair to parted and keep his beard at stubble so throughout the story at certain missions I make the beard grow longer until it grows fully. When Cal get betrayed by Bode and he’s chasing him outside I equip his windswept hair then I keep it that way for the rest of the playthrought. This basically shows that Cal wasn’t taking care off himself during the story especially after what happened on Jedha
Beautiful. Just Beautiful.
This deserves way more views
This is amazingly put together, well done! Already excited for the next game 🔥
Thank you so much! Yes, the next game is being considered right now
wow this deserves more likes
I appreciate that!
This was outstanding I love it!
Thank you so much!
Feel like the long hair and beard is a must for this game, really fit where his character was in my mind. So committed and focused on his personal war with the empire that he's neglecting everything else.
This............. just wow
