- Today we take a look at the world premiere gameplay trailer for Star Wars Jedi: Survivor that was shown at The Game Awards 2022. This trailer leaves a lot of questions unanswered, but does tease quite a few interesting features and exciting gameplay changes. As a speedrunner with hundreds of hours played in the original game, Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order, I'll provide my unique perspective on some of these gameplay elements and break down what we see in the trailer shot by shot.

Several of you have correctly pointed out that the droids seen at 9:22 are not actually Dark Troopers but the DT-Series Sentry Droids seen in Rebels and The Bad Batch. That's my bad, and thanks for pointing it out! The DT-Series droid design was inspired by the Dark Troopers, but they're not the same and I try to get things right.
12:01 b2 super battle droid
My main concern is the extreme lack of Merrin in this trailer. It'll be absolutely criminal if they don't bring her back
If they don’t Ill have to see a therapist. That will be the biggest betrayal ever
Yep
The lack of Merrin and Greez is truly unacceptable.
It’s worrying honestly. Really hope they’re not killed off-screen. I don’t expect something like that from this series, as it’s been pretty satisfying so far. But not seeing them at all is worrying.
We need the goth chick to evolve as well
Cal’s abilities becoming more prominent is really cool and I hope that we get a more expansive skill tree, and I really hope more than anything we get a more lightsaber vs lightsaber combat! As always great video man
Same. Just finished the first game for the first time this week, and pretty much every enemy type that weren't humanoid weren't that funto me. Absolutely loved every lightsaber battle though, and loved force pulling the stormtroopers. Can't wait to use their weapons against the other enemies
So if Cal is going to be in full survival mode and doing anything he can to protect his friends and himself, not only would i not be surprised if he uses some dark side abilities, but what if Merrin taught him some dark magic? Im hoping we get to use it at some point because it's so unique and just straight up cool. Either way, the I'm already happy with how much they've added to the gameplay
I think magic is only a women thing on Dathomir, I could be wrong or maybe that's just hierarchy?
@@wwalton you could be right, I don't know personally. There definitely is a matriarchy though. I hope even if it is true that they just ignore it or say that force sensitive people are different/ the rules dont apply to species from outside dathomir
@@xBOBOxFebreez I suppose that's true
I want a Jedi and Sith path which leads to 2 whole different campaigns, it'd be great
@@wwalton even if it wasnt
I dont think cal is that attuned to the force and like obi wan probably has a small midochlorian count
I really hope we could seemlessly switch between the 4 Saber Styles. Even better if you have certain combos that lets you switch mid-attack.
Dmc style switching
I think it’s gonna work like this:
You can only switch between single-blade and the alternate style. (Dual wield, double blades and crossguards) The alternate style can be changed at a workbench by splitting or welding together the double bladed lightsaber, or by dismantling the second blade and using the materials to build a crossguard
@@sentientmustache8360 an article came out today confirming there’s 5 total stances in the game: Single Blade, Double Bladed, Split Saber, Crossgaurd, and Single+Blaster.
I feel like we’ll be able to switch between all of them whenever we want, because each stance is supposed to be better/worse depending on the enemy. Similar to Ghosts of Tsushima is how I interpreted it.
@@benjaminmckay6983 Eeeeeeh, I was kinda' hoping it was more similar to Yakuza Series' Style Switching where it's just different movesets for different situations, not for different enemy types. I dunno about Ghost of Tsushima's, having specific stances for specific enemies are kinda... limiting.
@@TITANia69420 the stances are not limited based on enemy type (at least not in Ghosts), but some are better suited for certain enemies. If you wanted to only use one stance the entire game you could, you’re not pigeon-holed or forced to use one.
4:17 It should be noted the orange lightsaber half of calls lightsaber (presumably stolen) as modified to have crossguard lightsaber hilts, they are folder up as in a "inactive" state.
Cross guard hilts are actually vents to control exert energy from a damaged kyber crystal in the cases I know of, this would support the idea of this lightsaber being stolen
@@CalebBerman no one cares
at 15:55 the combat very much reminds me of a long sword type style of combat not to mention the look of the saber gaining the cross guard making it look like a long sword, i think the trade off will be #1 no double sided saber (although in lore there has been double sided cross guard sabers) and #2 Slower attack speed but we will gain strong/staggering hits instead
4:15 That Other half of the lightsaber is probably a replica of Cal's Lightsaber, based off of what we saw in the Story Trailer in May.
7:51 - I suspect the lightsabers only appear different lengths because the top one is straight, while the lower one is angled.
5:43, pulling enemies towards you - interesting to me that Cal appears to drop the enemy and then need to attack it. That suggests you could repeat this ability to quickly move enemies around the map, perhaps to places they can't otherwise access, for speedrun tricks. Eg imagine the extra places you could have Target Lock Jumped in #1 if you had this.
This is the best breakdown of this trailer I have seen. Well done!
The bipedal rideable creature is from the 2003 Clone Wars
im absolutely loving the look of the crossguard sabre. it looks like it could even be a form of light club?? i do longsword in real life, and usually choose the heavier slower weapons in games, so if the two handed crossguard works as i expect then i think i know what im gonna use for the whole game xD
4:13 if you look closely at the other lightsaber it has some extra stuff on the hilt that Tapal’s hilt doesn’t have… like it’s very similar but it has a bit that kinda reminds me of Taron Malicos’ lightsaber. So maybe they’re not the same just similar ?
Kinda looks similar to on the crossguard saber Cal uses. Maybe those bits flip out to the side to use the crossguard emitters
@@NolanECunningham thats what i was gonna say
@@CalebBerman shut up
I hope it won't be another open world game. I really enjoyed how Fallen Order was by moving to next areas while progressing the story while being able to go back to revisit them later on.
Most open world games have been very lackluster and story/narrative was even more disappointing. Hope they've just been further improving and evolving the mechanics Fallen Order had.
Thanks for doing this video analysis. I was just wondering if you would do one.
Lots of interesting bits in that trailer.
Edgy reverse grip is back, yey!
Imho there's no way a AAA game like Jedi Survivor won't have a demo showcase before release.
Yes, it will be in the middle of nowhere, as there are no major gaming events until the launch date, but they will absolutely show more gameplay to hype it up and reveal new features.
Certainly hope so - gonna lap up as much fallen order content as I can get my hands on lol
To be honest, that's exactly what I thought, but then God of War Ragnarok launched without any deep dive gameplay demonstrations at all. It's not really fair to compare the two, but I think when we're dealing with AAA sequels it might not be something we should necessarily expect from now on.
Yep
There's actually 5 stances in the game and the 5th one is a blaster+lightsaber combo. It stated in an article that Cal will use both his blaster and a lightsaber at different times in a combo.
I checked the Aurebesh on the left side of Dendras. It was just some random gibberish. I tried deciphering it for a contest EA put out(found the answer btw)
Yo great spot from my home country @3:00 and considering loads of SW has been filmed on round the coast at Mallin head in Co. Donegal you're likely spot on. The cast and crew wouldn't have missed up the opportunity to go see the causeway when so close. Loads of Fantasy takes inspo from the Emerald Isle. Appreciate the recog 👌👌
That huge interior with the potentially broken air dash is a lucrehulk.
I really enjoy your insight! ill def be keeping up with your updates about the game
How have you less than 850 subscribers? When I went to check your subs I was expecting in the high hundreds of thousands at least over 500k The quality of your content is amazing. Great job my friend
Wow, thank you! I've been really blown away by all the kind comments and support since my WR History video blew up.
@@binksmagnus I mean surely if some of the 18k viewers subbed that would be good. But for some reason people don't sub even to quality content such as yours.
@@binksmagnus holy cow I just checked your subs. Your starting to blow up. That's awesome news
I hope you can choose blade length when customising
Blade length would be cool but more than that I want the lightsaber mods to actually have stats so there’s an actual benefit to changing them and not purely cosmetic.
11:14 I feel like I’ve seen this planet in the mandalorian
judging by the skyscape in that large city where we first see Bo, im really hoping its mandalore
I hope you can choose blade length when customising
And I wouldn’t mind visiting Alderan again too
The "Dark Trooper" droid is actually a droid from Star Wars Rebels. It's got a technical name that I'm forgetting off hand but it's technically not a Dark Trooper phase per say just inspired by the Dark Trooper from legends at least that's what the creators of Rebels said at the time. It could be retroactively turned into a phase of Dark Trooper though now that a more direct reference to them was made in Mando. Also this isn't the first time a Brown Wampa has appeared in a Star Wars game. Shadows of the Empire has one on the Gall Spaceport level. My brother calls it the Chocolate Wampa. 😂
DT sentinel droid I think
His new look gives me Han Solo x Kyle Katarn vibes
With the seeming focus on the Separatists and the previous bit with the bacta character talking about betrayal I have a supposition: During the Clone Wars Palpatine engineered the capture of a Jedi by the Separatists, so they could better understand how to fight Jedi ( the more Jedi killed in the war the better from Palpatine's perspective) the missing arm comes from combat testing, and he blames the Jedi for his capture and subsequent torture hence the "betrayed by those I trusted the most" line. And we find him in the bacta tank because he was healed up in between testing sessions and the war ended unexpectedly so his captors cut and ran to avoid the new Empire's cleanup leaving him in the tank as they flee.
Cal is clearly doing some kind of midair force dash followed by throwing a grapple at that pole which pulls him to it. Like Batman's grapple gun
honestly if it was open world with dungeon areas with similar level design to the original levels I would really like that. Kind of like elden ring
4:59 that could be merrin
I saw someone say the small text is "antiquities" so it's a shop for old / reused objects if true
If the blaster is part of a combat style, that would be pretty cool.
So in addition to single, double, crossguard and dual lightsabers, you could use single saber+blaster as a style.
It does feel like they listened to your retrospective video
Man, I just hope the game is ready when it comes out
Where Cal is taming that bird creature the gaints causeway like rock is on the roof of the cave
I've seen some theories that the library Cere has is located on Bogano, in Eno Cordova's old abode. I personally dont believe it, though, because the Empire most likely knows about Bogano unless Trilla both did not report Bogano and also instructed her troopers not to report it either.
dead trees remind me of mustafar post vader immortal. specifically how it was shown when kylo went there
I think the lightsaber used by the guy in the helmet is the cross guard lightsaber cal has later in the trailer
The guy in the bacta tank may just be human. His hair is super long, so even in a bacta tank your hair will grow and it makes sense to say that his skin may have aged as well in the tank and just turned grey.
The "blaster" is the grappling hook.
What did you think of the gameplay reveal? Did you spot something I might have missed? Please me know in the comments.
you got a discord?
The person with the orange/yellow lightsaber looks like the two extra bits could fold outwards and defeating them is how you might unlock the kylo ren style lightsaber
@@haise_mix no, but if enough people want it I can make one.
@@binksmagnus Yo please do, I think it would be great to build a community, especially for speedrunning / star wars, and I'd love to be apart of it.
The dark troopers are actually Thrawn’s training droids
Love the Witcher 3 music in the background
I really hope these lightsabers have status customization.
Because then there is a sense in getting the chests to get a stronger component than what we would have.
From my point of view, it seems fallen order was respawn saying to EA “we can make a single player Star Wars games people want to play” and their response was “yea ok sure here’s a little money and not a lot of time make something happen” and now after it’s success it looks like they’re letting respawn run with the series and really make it their own
My main concerns are:
A: Do I REALLY have to have the silly crossguard hilt? I prefer to use the styles of my choice, along with the look of my saber.
B: I hope Merrin and Geez are in the game.
C: I hope there are neutral locations like Cantinas and areas where you have to do some RPG aspects to advance rather than non-stop platforming inbetween fights.
D: I hope the item drops and such are more than just visual and aesthetic stuff like outfits and saber hilts. Like more upgrades and such.
E: I hope the story builds up to the original trilogy. Maybe even having enemies like Mandalorians, Yuuzhan Vong, or even a young Boba Fett. Maybe story characters like Grand Moff Tarkin.
The droid is a DT sentinel droid from rebels but it is probably inspired by the dark trooper
I've heard some theories that the thing at 4:59 is Merrin but idk
Doesn't really make sense for him to lose the other half of tapols lightsaber in this game. Mainly because he already replaced one half with ceres lightsaber in fallen order
appreciate the super metroid music
Thats obviously going to be a dark vision of cal hidden behind a mask they did it with luke, starkiller, and now cal its really obvious as i could point it out the second i saw it
Something that was really bad in the first game was walking and manouver animations, it didn't matter gameplay wise but it looks a lot better in this trailer and I'm couldn't be happier
I kept trying to figure out why I started thinking about BOTW while watching this, then I took a closer listen to the background music lmao!
There’s Witcher 3 music in the background
9:28 those aren't Dark troopers, they're Imperial sentry droids
Shit, you're right. That's embarrassing.
I dont care what you say, this game is gonna be broken as frick, and its gonna be amazing.
I'm just gonna say it now because I've been thinking about this ever since we watched it and how they're going the "clone" route. I think the new Jedi games are retellings of Starkiller where Cal Kestis is basically the new Starkiller. Think about it.
Starkiller in legends created the rebellion.
Cal Kestis is by all means a rebel and in this trailer is quite well known throughout the empire.
Cal Kestis had a force vision of becoming a inquisitor and even dawned a red lightsaber.
Cal Kestis is the perfect character to inspire hope, but also the perfect character to corrupt because of how arrogant he can be, like when he fought against Vader.
To me I think it's a full retelling of Starkiller.
No
Maybe the word "Dendra" has something to do with the Dendratis Biological Export company.
I wonder how they will deal with new moves/combos considering there are already some.
What is the bg music?
Time stamp?
I thought that the character from the tank was a clone of Cal. It doesn’t make sense but the character model looks like him a bit. And the comics mess with clones a lot so I could buy into it
The game is going to be very bigger than fallen order because in the first reveal trailer cal looks quite young but different and in the newest trailer cal looks very much older
super metroid music lfg
People are are freaking out about no merrin but the real problem is where is greez ?
Do you think you will speedrun this when it comes out?
I hope so, though it's probably going to depend on how long the early runs are and how the situation with selling my house goes. If it's an 8 hour run I just don't have time for that in the day.
Big binks
What soundtrack did you use for background?
There’s a little bit of a bunch of stuff. Super Metroid, Witcher 3, Breath of the Wild, Red Dead Redemption 2, God of War, and Knights of the Old Republic.
@@binksmagnus loved it! Thought it was a specific remix or something lol. Great choice
Hope they got NG+ in mind this time around. I want to feel powerful at the start of the story when I buy the game on sale and download some persons save
Why was the fallen order gameplay demo hated? It looked fine
People thought the gameplay looked pretty generic for an action-adventure game and that the level looked super linear, and assumed it applied to the entire game if that’s the section they chose to show off.
@@binksmagnus thanks for the response. Getting an answer from the creator is nice so i appreciate it. From the few minutes of the demo that I’ve seen it showed enough, so I see those claims as waaaaay to harsh.
@@simply_soul4355 it’s easy to say so in hindsight, and I’ve thought the same, but at the time I definitely understood the sentiment. It looked very on rails, very Uncharted-esque and forgettable.
@@binksmagnus I guess when they try for cinematic moments in gameplay demos it’s not acknowledged as intended. I wonder if it was nominated for any goty awards, that would be insane
Bhahaha 4:21 got me 🤣🤣🤣🤣
i loved fallen order, but like survivor is literally $100 in my currency, too much...
Im really hoping for some dark side abilities ala Jedi Academy or summin
Hopefully no ponchos return
all i know, is this game better not have any dumb ass ponchos... where's my robes? where's my armor? where's even the slightest amount of variation in type of clothes other than the jacket made for a twink, and a poncho?
Nice
im just hoping for more planets and no tunnelfunneling in the levels itself / more openworld like eldenRNG
I just replayed JFO since getting the platinum when it came out and I really hope they lean more into the souls type complex open environments for survivor. Dathomir is really the only planet that has that feeling of tension combined with exploration that the souls series is known for. It feels to me like JFO was like a proof of concept for respawn to prove that they could make this type of game. And despite being probably my favorite star wars game of all time it feels quite shallow when you replay it, but they have the opportunity to make a true masterpiece with the sequel.
At 12:22 when we see Pale Tank Guy in the new attire, those are high republic jedi robes, indicating when he's from (before 200 BBY) and that he is, in fact, a jedi. Or at least was one.
I loved that Jedi Fallen Order was a more classic linear experience. Going open world like so much of the singleplayer story driven games gets a sigh out of me. Lets hope that the game will be more like a wide corridor with focus on story.
I’ve probably watched like 12 analysis videos for this trailer and most of your details weren’t in any of them lol. Great video m8
7:22 I'm pretty sure the big guy is a member of the Gen'dai species, as in the same species that Durge was. So he's probably going to be very significant or at the very least practically immortal.
I think the man in the water chamber is Starkiller, i played again "Star Wars The Force Unlished 2" and there are a lot of those for Starkiller clones
i liked the detail on the crossguard that make it feel more practical to use the top halth not bein covered and the dow one being covered for protection if someone just slides it dawn.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but my wild card theory is that the canyon planet/archive room we see Cere in is actually on none other than Batuu, the planet that houses Black Spire Outpost of Disney's Galaxy's Edge park. the stone looks similar to the facades used for the park, as well as concept art for the planet itself. And in the VR Title "Tales from the Galaxy's Edge: Last Call", you wind up actually finding a Jedi Archive while working for Dok Ondar, and can scan a few of the books in the archive to send to R2-D2, who is implied to then send them to Rey. So the landscape mostly lines up, and a Jedi archive DOES exist on the planet. It's always possible. It'd be cool to see Batuu during the Reign of the Empire, as you only see it with a First Order coat of paint everywhere else.
That’s possible. Didn’t occur to me because I always envisioned Batuu more forested based on my reading of Thrawn: Alliances. I think the “black spires” of Black Spire Outpost are supposed to be petrified wood?
I can't place the Zelda music in the background I'm dying to know what it is ;o;
Rito Village (Night)!
@@binksmagnus I love you
I really enjoyed this. I hope you also do this for the 9 min gameplay vid that came out.
Planning to. Might take a few days.
2:34 If I were to say, I'd say that that is inspired by The Force Unleashed games!
At 7:47 the cool electric spear is a mancacher wich is a very old wepon used by police in china
Did I ever tell you the story about Darth jarjar the Wize
the witcher soundtrack just perfect
My last hope is just a bit more polish on the animation side of things. I’ve known Respawn to be top tier when it comes to animation and how that affects gameplay flow, and while I’m sure this is basically a completely different team entirely from the teams that worked on Apex and Titanfall, they clearly have some overlap (wallrunning). In the first game the two things that stood out were the dodging animations, and the “on rails” sections. Each individual part looked fine, but the transitions between each were usually too fast, it almost looked like Cal would return to a default state after dodging or falling off of a wall or slide and then start the next animation. Combat and climbing were fine, but since they had those fundamentals down pat already, here’s hoping that that’s the area they focused on improving alongside more combat. Other than that, this game is shaping up to be great! Finally get to use that cross guard stance in a game!
Awesome analysis
As far as Cal’s blaster is concerned... I’m getting a lot of Ghost of Tsushima vibes from this. Presumably, we’d use the d-pad to switch lightsaber styles like we did in the first game, and it would sorta mirror Tsushima’s “stances.” If the pattern holds, we could see his blaster as something analogous to the bow in Ghost. A ranged attack with a few ammunition-dependent skills attached to it. Though considering that blasters can fire hundreds of times before reloading in lore, it’d have to do much less damage than a lightsaber for balance purposes. Which is also supported by lore, come to think of it.
Also, given the “survivor” title, I wonder if there’s going to be a stealth element? On one hand, I like doing the sneaky sneak, and I dislike being railroaded into combat, but on the other hand it gets closer to “the Ubisoft game” (for there is only one of them now) than “the from software game” (which is where fallen order took its inspiration). I’m gonna be honest, I’m kinda tired of the Ubisoft game.
They're going to nerf Cal in this. Kinda stupid to have you level up a character in the previous game and then put him back to nothing status in the next. They should allow you to load your precious game save data so you can continue where you left off
When did they say this
Uh... Have you seen him? He looks a lot stronger in this game. And if you mean a temporary reset nerf, it'd be very easy to just let him keep the double blade from the last game (Or have his lightsaber stolen/destroyed)
@@hazeltree7738 exactly, they literally showed off stronger versions of his abilities from the last game
This is a phenomenal breakdown and it’s the second video I’ve seen of yours that is like this. You have a ridiculous talent for this. If you are looking for something smaller scale move over to tik tok. If you are already there link it down below
If I had to guess that canyon planet might be the equivalent of Zefo for this game, maybe with a huge expanding main zone and then branching paths from there
They had a brown wampa in Shadows of the Empire on the 64. Yeah, not canon, but it was there.
The dessert planet appears to be Utapau, there's also possibly a Dactillon in the trailer
