The double tap on Bode is so cold but I get it. He already got so many chances
It’s more that leaving him to “bleed out” is a cruel way of ending things so the second shot made him not have to lay there for hours slowly dying.

Bode also shot Cordova twice too
@@willvermillion1025 TECHNICALLY a blaster bolt is like a bolt of laser, it wont make him bleed cuz itll just block the blood from going out but it will literally boil his insides, so yea, he'll still slowly die in agony if Cal didn't shoot him twice

you play the first game he actually reminds have a certain character from what he met his dearly beloved
You're right
_hello there_
He looks like an older version of anakin skywalker
@takashishin8282 "reminds have a certain character from what he met his dearly beloved." I think my IQ dropped trying to understand that.
Game got me so invested I could feel my blood pressure rising when Bode started choking merrin
When he did that I knew it was a death sentence. Cal may have let Bode live had he not gone after Merrin.
Same, thoses characters really grow on me. One thought tho that really "scare me" story wise is that, If Merrin dies or disappears in any way, I don't think anything will stop Cal sinking into the dark side.
Cal: Don't you DARE touch my goth girlfriend!
Got me so invested that I was hoping we could get him to see the light because I was all in for that brotherly bond that was going on and how we already killed Dagan earlier. Then that happened and I was like there goes that idea.
Imagine being a Purge Trooper, training your entire adult life or sometimes even longer, to hunt and kill these people. You're the best the non-force users have against these kinds of people. Then he screams and he starts moving so fast you can't see him.
Yea lol

The dark side ability where cal freezes his enemies and cuts them down almost reminds me of the Ghost Stance from Ghost of Tsushima
As someone who has beaten ghost of tsushima twice including the final boss on the hardest difficulty with no charms, the power ghost stance has is just like using the dark side

Nothing terrifies me more than a skilled and powerful individual, who has more than proven themselves, lose control of their emotions and show just how powerful they truly are
It was poetic that Cal helped Merrin see the light, and thus Merrin, a Nightsister, a Dark Side Witch, was the one to bring Cal back to the light

"Love doesn't lead to the dark side. Passion can lead to rage and fear, and can be controlled... but passion is not the same thing as love. Controlling your passions while being in love... that's what they should teach you to beware. But love itself will save you... not condemn you." -Jolee
It's like poetry, it rymes
@Fatass Squirrel when was this said, out of curiosity? I really like that quote
George Lucas said that once
There was a lot of talk about
“Why does Cal have Force Slow? That’s a dark side ability?”
Glad we’re kinda acknowledging that now.
Tho he prob just learned it as a practicality thing as a youngling and then didn’t have the Jedi instruction to tell him to not do that.
Depends on how you use that power. The desire to do good with the dark side is somewhat acceptable because passion is a powerful asset to the jedi, mace windu himself is a dark side user but he only uses it to hinder or defeat enemies. Those who use the dark side for personal gain, Palpatine for example eventually become corrupted and maddened by it
It's only a dark side ability in Legends, which is non canon.
In canon, the ability is called Force Stasis, and is used by both Jedi and Sith.
I feel like he is just gifted with it
I don't think the the current story writers for the movies or the games think about all that tbh. I wish they did.
Actually Force Slow was originally an unaligned aspect of the force that didn't require one to tap into the dark side of the force. It was sat along push and pull but I don't know if the new canon consititutes it as a dark force action/ability. In EU it was always unaligned.

Cal gave Denvik a worse death. If you go back to his desk after beating the game you find out he did end up being killed by Vader. Tho being force choked might be slightly more humane than having your insides slowly crushed by the force
You really think Cal would've stopped with his insides? I feel like that was the closest somebody has come to being turned into an Ikea meatball
Yeah I swear his bones were about to be turned into dust
Sparring denvik was not about showing mercy it was about not fully succumbing to the dark side.
*there are some things far more frightening than death*
@@sketchysketches381bladee refference
I was shocked how Cal had absolutely no hesitation when putting Bode down, I expected a few emotional last words but Cal said nope 😂
He proved to be too dangerous to be kept alive, cal was in the thick of the clone wars during his formative years, probably has a great intuition for that kinda thing
Cal had already said everything there was to say. All there was left to do was put him down.
@@Mr.Unfair “he is to dangerous to be left alive”
- Mace windu
To be fair to Cal, he had already lost quite a few people dear to him thanks to Bode, who was also ready to kill Merrin had Cal not intervened. I don't blame him for not saying anything emotional or such to him before shooting him, any sort of pity for him was long gone by then.
Bode pulled the trigger. If Cal hadn't crushed his guns Bode would have shot him. No need for words at that point.
“The dark side isn’t more powerful.”
Ok yoda but have you seen an orange blurr down a room full of stormtroopers in the blink of an eye? Can the light side do that? No? You can…strain to move rocks? I guess that’s cool.
Yoda had speed to match Darth Sidious (who’s faster than Cal using the dark side) and knowledge of the force strong enough to cancel out force lightning. If he wasn’t 900 years old in episode 3 he would’ve very possibly defeated Sidious.
actually, yes. Literally just a few minutes before this. Cere's moveset is the exact same as dark side cal.
Can you defuse Darth Vader?
If you can convince Vader then you don't have to worry about rocks.
It isn’t, it’s just easier.
@@ValentinoMarino11 easier to lose yourself in yes. Not to control and use like true Sith Lords. The sides are equal there is only the force.

I like how the sound of his force powers and Saber change when he channels the dark side. Makes everything have more impact.
Sounds like people screaming. Eerie
The menu with cal's customization goes from blueish Grey to red after cere dies and the betrayal played out.
I started freaking out when gera started bleeding his crystal cause I've never seen that in star wars before, only heard of it.
Then cal started changing.
menu went red, finishers more aggressive, cal not responding excitedly when bd finds a collectable, deeper tone in voice, very dismissive when finding bode on his 'home' planet/hideout.
Then when he blew up like that for the first time and you hear his distorted screams of rage and the red border on screen I was like "give him a buzz cut, shave his beard and point his sabers backwards, cause this ain't cal no more, this is starkiller".
@@CACgaming007 and then after you beat the game, the menu changes back but the slow ability still says the same so I wonder if that’s intended lol
@@RaunchyRoger007 honestly, maybe he's a grey jedi now who can use either side of the force without it tipping him to the dark side
I love how Cal and Cere are some of the only Jedi to tap into the dark side consistently without becoming Sith
Mace Windu too
You can’t tap into it consistently in lore without falling.
The more you use it the easier it becomes to tap into until it becomes like second nature and you fall.
Cere in Fallen Order was struggling with it the same way Cal is now, only she had time to learn to give up her fear and anger.
Cal still has that journey ahead of them.
@@tjossai9302That’s not how Vaapad works, the point of it is that you don’t actually touch the dark side.
Yeah, Cal is not practicing Vaapad. That is an extremely difficult discipline only a master can do. Cal is embracing the dark side. He is on a slippery slope. It is actually a pretty clever game mechanic. When we as the player find ourselves getting overwhelmed by enemies and the force slow ability is available, we know if we use it, Cal taps into the dark side and becomes much more powerful. It's easier, more seductive.
Whole story on grey Jedi and study both light and dark, very interesting
The final execution shot on Bode was cold as hell. He definitely deserved it because he was insane and couldn’t be reasoned with. He had what he wanted all he has to do was hand over the compass. But he had gone off the deep end
It was the wrong call to kill him, some years later his daughter might start thirsting for revenge against Cal. But then I remember this is Star Wars and there is no such thing as character acting in a relatable grounded way.
@@TheBatman39 what else could they have done? Also they say that she hardly ever sees her father anyway so seeing him acting crazy plus the fact that she's not that close to him makes sense for her.
@@TheBatman39 Their relationship did not develop enough for her to want revenge pretty sure
@@TheBatman39 he literally
threw her around with the force constantly
and went against her wishes.
she was intelligent enough to understand cal had no choice, that he’d kill them if he didnt
@@TheBatman39 Cal gave Bode like four or five different chances to surrender and make amends, and Bode took none of them. He even refused to listen to Kata when she told him to stop fighting. He attacked Cal by surprise twice, killed Cordova and indirectly killed Cere, almost choked both Merrin and Cal to death, and *pushed her own daughter* with the Force, which *almost kills her* if it wasn't for Merrin. I know Cal pretty much killed him in cold blood (since Bode was disarmed at the moment, yet Cal shot him twice), but what other options he had? Bode already proved he couldn't be reasoned with, and that he wouldn't give up no matter what.
Kata mentions her father changed when her mother passed away, plus she knew Cal and Merrin didn't follow them looking for a fight, plus Bode *almost kills the three of them,* so she seems to be aware that her father was already lost.
Something to notice is that when Cal embraced the darkness in his fight with Bode, he crushed both of his blasters, which is why they didn't work.
Fuck blasters.
Yup I had to watch again to see it😂
I love how the “Embrace the Darkness” prompt only shows up after Bode bitch slaps BD, as if that’s what finally drove Cal over the edge compared to everything else.
Yeah but that makes me worried for next game. I imagine in order to make returning to the darkside seems more enticing they may decide to destroy BD-1. BD is literaly the only thing that has saved you consistently in both games and he is basically Cal's best friend. I terrified that in order to break Cal they are going to decide to break our favorite little droid.

@@Hjartulv Gee I wonder why the game he first appeared in they called him "Darth Revan". Maybe it's fake news because iAtilla on UA-cam said so, I'm sure he read the books or played SWTOR/both kotor games.
@@DrBeevo I already stated he was mindcontrolled before events of this "first game". But in actual game no one call Revan by "Darth". Because well. He isn't. Even if player decide to choose dark side path - game wouldn't recognize it as "Darth" until final cinematic.
You can fanboying as much as you like. Revan in established Canon - is purely good guy. And bad guys is everyone else who he confront, because of somewhat stupid plot in books and SWTOR.
Also no one call him "Darth" as person after events of first game. Everyone just call him revan
And only one reason why people fanboying over him. Because he is those people. And beyond that have no traits or personality in kotor's.
And those fanboys never played SWTOR or read those shitty books by Karpshin.
Revan is a character that’s primarily comprised of word of god(the author) statements, and featless accolades. But they don’t really show him doing things. He’s just constantly praised as the peak of the Jedi, when there’s not much to prove it. And I’ve played Swtor from beginning all the way to the current Malgus expansion.
5:45
He... wasn't just gonna choke him, was he?
I feel like if Merrin wasn't there he was about to use force-crush on his entire body.

@missmimeo3092 hello there (general kenobi)
1:53 - 4:52 It was Rumored that this was the same ability that was used by Palpatine in star wars episode 3 when he killed Mace windu's team easily when they tried to arrest palpatine since in the comics mace windu's jedi team was powerful but they were easily defeated by him because Palpatines Darkside ability was slowing down time to make it look like he was attacking his enemies fast. So by seeing this ability Cal is using to easily slay his enemies means that the rumors were true.
No, it's a totally different ability. This is the same ability he's used since Fallen Order (Force Slow), it's just much stronger when he's on the dark side. The one Sidious potentially used is Force Scream.
@@ignisinfernal1843 that version is upgraded by using another ability of the dark side that palpatine used in episode 3 the scream that worked like a explosion of the force in lack of better words.
@@phonkydude2390 Is there a source for that? Because it looks and sounds the same as Force Slow just with Cal using the dark side instead of the light

7:35 Anakin and Obi Wan fight in Mustafar shot like in Episode 3
I love this game for this reason it shows us cals battle with the dark side intensified since the last game and how he deals with it this game was too good
0:25 The way bro just swiped away Denvik’s blaster and pulled out a Glock with that cold look on his face… 🥶
I love the fact that whenever you use the dark side you can hear a faint scream of rage and agony
He who embraces the light, shall find himself in the dark. When the light fades, his true being is revealed.
He who embraces the dark, cannot see the light.
When faced with his reflection, he only sees his shadow.
Everyone had a dark side, but that doesn’t mean they’re doomed to be consumed by it.
Cal with long hair makes him kind of resemble a hybrid between Obi Wan and Anakin.
I love how the skill tree slowly turns into red giving you the hint that it will happen
Really want another game like force unleashed where you’re on the dark side and don’t hold back at all
“In order to defeat the enemy, you must become the enemy”
This guy gets it
I love how absolutely COLD Cal was when the Imperial tried pulling a blaster on him, just to have Cal Force pull it from his hand, into his own. To be fair, I can’t imagine what the Imperial was thinking. You’re a regular man dealing with a space wizard, did he seriously think he would come out on top?
I will argue that Cal tapping into the dark side is unlike other Jedi and Sith before him, and maybe even necessary.
The Dark Side embodies natural human qualities. Anger, fear, grief, greed etc. feeling these emotions isn’t evil. What matters is whether we temper them. Let them work for you, not the other way around.
Initially we see Cal cutting down foes with the dark side, watching him nearly strike down Denvik. But Merrin helps him snap out if it, and not kill him…because, after all, Vader finishes that job for them anyways.
Then we see his fight with Bode. Here, Cal is left in a very simple position: does he let Bode kill him and Merrin? Or does he save them. He chooses to save them. Bode was given multiple opportunities to stand down and he refused each one.
The reason I feel Cal won’t full succumb to the Dark Side is because he is not Anakin, Dagan or any other fallen Jedi. He is a survivor. He is being put in a position no other Jedi has been through before.
In the end of the game: Cal tells Cere that he’s afraid he does not have the strength against the dark side…but him saying that shows something that Anakin, Dagan and Bode never did: awareness. Cal is aware of the potentially dangerous path he’s walking, he is aware that he can fall like so many others before him. But because of this awareness, I feel he knows just how dangerous his powers are. And that they should not be used lightly (from a story telling perspective, of course.)
Like Cere told him on Jedha: every day was a struggle with the dark side for Cere. And that’s a struggle Cal must do now.
And like Cere, I have faith that Cal will emerge the victor over the dark side every time.
when it comes to the sides of the force Cal really buried the light
Well to be fair there isn’t a true light or dark. It’s only how you perceive and use the force and not letting it corrupt or overtake you,

I'm starting to feel like Cals story has been a path to rebooting the Jedi Academy game. It really seems like Cal Kestis is set up to be a canon replacement of Kyle Katarn. They both have dabbled in the dark side, and they both survived the dark times between Order 66 and the Battle of Endor, I could easily see Cal taking Kyle's place in a Jedi Academy remake where we make our own Jedi in Luke's academy. This game already has the Jedi title, and I can't be the only one to notice how there are several cosmetic options right from Jedi Academy that Cal can find and use. I know they said Cal's story would be a trilogy, and I'm hoping that it dovetails into a Jedi Academy remake using all the systems they've built up in Cal's games. They've nailed lightsaber combat, they have a robust customization system (one could easily imagine a gender/species option being added, AND the part where we get to play as YOU KNOW WHO (won't say for spoilers) it felt like they were testing out a system that had a more limited saber style choice and not to mention the healing ability STRAIGHT OUT of Jedi Academy. Idk...maybe I'm totally off, but does anyone else sense the writing on the wall that this game series has been building to something?
They might. they’ve been adding old characters or similar characters. Durge came back in comics awhile ago. we remember him being a huge antagonist in 2003 clone wars and now they made gen’dai (forgot his name in this game) one of the main enemies in here. they are bringing thrawn back during the imperial remnant times like “heir to the empire” & gave the sequels a watered down “dark empire” plot after failing to impress fans. Seems like they are going back to legends material. Even the mandalorian has Jango fetts origin.

People are terrified of Vader and for good reason, but most times, he tends to kill people rather quickly (seeing how insignificant everyone is to him) and just cuts them down efficiently (exceptions are made, of course, when he really goes full on torture machine)... Maybe Denvik was an annoyance to Vader, but Cal hated his guts, so I'm betting that if Merrin wasn't there, Denvik would have suffered much more at the hands of Cal than Vader's
He actually would've, since Vader flat out stated he loathes incompetency and kills only because imperial officers were incompetent. Vader didn't kill for pleasure like Palpatine did.
He's chains are broken the Force has set him free.
I like to imagine in the slow down effect that it isnt cal slowing everyone else down but speeding himself up.
According to relativity that’s exactly the same thing it doesn’t matter how you imagine it. Ofc taking the victim’s pov is gonna be more terrifying.
@@datboy038Na verdade do jeito que Cal faz é mais aterrorizante. Se ele estiver muito rápido a vítima não vai nem ver o que a atingiu. Mas com a force Stasis Cal segura os inimigos no lugar e eles veem seus parceiros caindo aos poucos só esperando chegar sua vez.
Good, Cal Kestis, good!
I love how Unjedi Cal is. Makes sense growing up outside of the order and with most Jedi knowledge gone.
Can we agree Cameron Monaghan is such an amazing actor. When he gets angry, you feel the rage
Holy shit he used monstrous shrine make your choice on hag😱😢
Is that good on hag? I've only played her a couple times
@@JWhitlocke you can teleport and instadown the guy who saves with make your choice, and in order for make your choice to activate, you have to be 32 meters away, which already procks monstrous shrine’s 24 meter requirement, so it creates insane pressure time wise and population control wise(especially with the hag trap counter rework recently added)
@mike d ah. Yeah, I've only played her a couple times. She fun tho
tf y’all talking about lmao
@@quota4eva a game where 1 killer kills 4 survivors called dbd
Your design of Cal is awesome
Every time I see Cal yeet the gun out of the Denvik's hand I chuckle a little bit🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Cal learned how to use Spartan Rage holy shit
I find using the dark side to slam the enemies into the ground is quite good at clearing a room
We need a Cal villain arc in the next game tho, it would be absolutely amazing
Or Cal falling to the Dark side at the end of the third game, with bonus levels of him as an inquisitior
The problem is i think at this point, the only way to get Cal to go fully DarkSide, is Merrin to be killed
Or bring back a version of Starkiller to show Cal exactly where he’ll end up if he keeps going down that path.
No!
@@kaiserreichempireofohio834 The only problem is that cal is too strong to be an inquisitor ,the way things are going rn he is going to get a buff to vader level in next game so either vader or emperor will put him down or he needs to hide and start a family and resurface after the empire has fallen
I love how you hold a red saber up to Denvik’s neck and it still glows blue on your clothes
Bro watching Cal give into the dark side was so badass bro finally said enough is enough and just let all hell break loose can’t wait for the announcement of the 3rd game
It's funny that only then is it considered "embracing the dark side", but it was all light side when you slaughtered hundreds of stormtroopers, animals, raiders and bounty hunters over the two games.
The stormtroopers, raiders, and bounty hunters had it all coming them.
The animals were all hostile towards Cal and tried to kill him as soon as they saw him.
Everyone Cal kills deserved it as far as I know.
@@0din176 the stormtroopers and bounty hunters I wouldn’t say totally deserved it. They were just doing their job and trying to survive during these dark times. I don’t think it’s 100% justified how Cal possibly orphaned hundreds of children and widowed a thousand more wives. Also, the Jedi way isn’t massacring tons of people simply because they “deserved it.” And the animals are threatened because someone was intruding on their turf. Most of the time, Cal just kills them without them even attacking him.
@@kurimzen You're right, but just because what Cal's doing isn't fully justified doesn't mean that he's not using the light side. He is and he only started using the dark side when he gave in to his negative emotions after the death of Cordova and Cere.
@@0din176 This, Jedi slaughter people all the time, it's when they have strong emotions, such as joy, hatred, or even guilt when they kill people that it leads to the Dark Side. A sociopath who didn't have much personal ambition would actually be the perfect Jedi, as he could kill as many people as needed without it taking an emotional toll on him.
@@kurimzen they are litterally trying to kill him on sight and see him as less than human that’s like saying Jews shouldn’t have resisted the nazis because the nazis had families
They need to bring him to live action, it’s actually impressive how good of a character he is despite being created for a videogame. And that’s in large part due to the actor who absolutely kills it.
man your Cal goes hard
Such hatred , you would have made an excellent inquisitor…Your anger gives you strength , gives you focus . I love when cal uses his darkside force slow . Everything around him is fuzzy expect what he’s focused on
Esse visual do Cal ta muito maneiro, eu sempre achei estranho o design padrão dele pq ele fazia altas maracutaisas e o topete continuava no lugar
I love the part where he turned into the dark side
It never said he turned to the dark side. It only said he embraced it
Cal is so fkn cool, he's a good balance of the force, not too light or dark, (the way he uses mind tricks and the force is pretty fkd up) yet time and time again he demonstrates a good heart and mind, my favorite Star Wars protagonist
Gota love how badass the first scene is. Flicks the blaster out of Denviks hands with the force and pulls he own blaser out and aims it at him in such an impossing way.
The windswept hairstyle should have been the default style for this game. Matches the tone of the story really well
It really should have. I used it my entire playthrough while modifying the beard to simulate progression of time a bit. Best hairstyle in the game and makes Cal look more mature, plus fits where his head is by the end of the game.
I guess orange is his cannon light saber color which kinda makes sense by the end of this game.
I love how your Cal matches with BD
Looks sick as hell
I like how his lightsaber is red but the light reflected on cal and that bold guy is blue.
To better understand the force, one must study each and every one of its aspects, not just the limited point of view of the jedi.
By far the best look ive seen yet
Cal's VA is on fire in this game, I swear. The anger is impeccable.
People don't wanna hold Cal up there with Starkiller and Vader cause his prowess with the force and blade don't match theirs, but I can count on my finger the Jedi capable of handling concentrated blaster fire and/or massive enemy numbers, the weakness the Clone's exploited in Order 66, so I feel it's appropriate to definitely put him up there as one of the most powerful Jedi post-66. Also, I hope we get to see Cal in a show or upcomming movie, given that his character is also an accomplished actor who's been in multiple cable TV shows and his general likeability make him a perfect fit for a cameo or even a full role. Hopefully we see him during the high republic stuff.
Also, that part where Davik would rather be cut down than choked out by Vader, only to get choked out in the EXACT same way Vader chokes his subordinates out is such dark humor I couldn't help but chuckle.
I agree! I think it’s time Cal deserves his respect as one of the strongest Jedi post clone wars. He has grew a lot since the beginning of fallen order
Cal can use the darkside in the first one and possibly the second i havnt played it yet and havnt watched alot. If u force pull enemey and then force push them it kills them
That’s not the dark side lol
Pretty sure using the force to kill someone is the darkside Its no different then the force choke It still kills them and i dont think its the impact of the ground that kills them. Were basically crushing their insides
@@paullarosa1986no that's not how the force works at all
We used the same hair and beard combo and I'm so happy about that. He looks the best like this oml
This is stupidly op
i just noticed that the light emitted from cals lightsaber is always blue in cutscenes, regardless of the actual blade color
I feel like they should of made it so that Cal's dark side ability was infinite until after his cutscene with Merrin, then allow you to use it just like his regular slow afterwards. Have Cal also talk a lot more aggressive to everyone until after his talk with Merrin. I feel like it would of really harbored his dark side arc full circle. He still isn't fully dark but isn't a warrior for the light anymore considering he fell in-love with Merrin and accepted it. Outright breaking the Jedi code. Cal is no longer a Jedi, nor Sith, but a rogue Dark Jedi. Which if you know Star Wars the dark side corrupts people and kills them if they continue to accept its embrace. The Dark Side is pure evil. If Cal continues to use the dark side it could potentially alert Palpatine of his presence directly and that would eventually lead to Cal's death. So comes my theory:
Cal is a reimagined story of Starkiller, where Cal is essentially a replacement for a canon Starkiller. Darth Vader & Palpatine will control Starkiller by capturing his beloved, Merrin. Cal consumed by hatred will spark the rebellion and eventually fail to kill Darth Vader / Palpatine and end up dying, however saving Merrin in the process who goes back to Dathomir with his body and buries him. Shortly afterwards Kenobi/Rogue One takes place and the story continues.
Cal is redeemed when he unites the Rebellion in a more proper conjunction and saves Merrin, sacrificing himself. Returning as a voice of the force from time to time in planets with force nexus's.
thats a good write
Goofy ahh fanfiction
They do something similar, since the Slow Gauge will fill absurdly fast until you meet with Merrin.
And I wouldn't say Cal is already a Dark Jedi. As Cere said, Cal is facing something every Jedi will have to face eventually. But it's not like he's a full blown dark side user already.
"Being on both side has it's advantages, it's like having a cheat code for the force." -Revan maybe
Gideon emery’s voice never fails to make a good character!
This man needs to be a gray jedi in the future.
I almost see Merrin dying in the 3rd game, pushing Cal past the precipice. Then Kata, having been trained by Cal and Merrin, duels him to stop him like how her father had to be. That would be both epic and sad.
I really hope Merrin doesn’t die :(
@@lordmasonchase7696 if anything I feel like Cal may die, like yea he is skilled but he’s not near Vader level and even cere who was relative to Vader at the time got killed. Someone is going to come after him it just depends on if it’s Vader or someone slightly less terrifying.
@@PalletEater214 That’s a great point. At first I didn’t like the fact that Vader barely walked away with his life in Jedi Survivor, just to fight Cal in the next Jedi game and get fucked up again because that’d be disrespectful to Vaders character, but when you think of Cal not being more powerful than Cere, it makes sense for Cal to not do as good as Cere in the next game, and probably do ok against Vader until he makes a sacrifice for his friends or something like that.
@@PalletEater214 Cal may increase in power by the time game 3 comes though.
@@Solomon_C Doubt he will be even near Vader level though, maybe count dooku or ventress but the only one even remotely near vaders level is Luke (kinda) yoda, palpatine, and maybe Ashoka since she did survive their battle.
