Finding out that Cere's gameplay was actually Cal sensing her force echo crushed me.
what
@@_Beau2005_ cal used his force power to see into the past, everything the player did as cere is Cal reliving the events that led to her death.
Oh…$#!+…
@@IHATEBAYLE yeah i didnt even realize that until i read it in a post on reddit i believe,but still kinda cool we kinda got to see what happened
Ok
44:05 there’s something so heart-wrenching about how Greez, even while he’s mourning Cere, still wants to make sure Cal doesn’t start blaming himself for her death. I swear Greez has the biggest heart of anyone in this game 😭😭😭
Also, the fact that Cere was SO close… Like, of course we knew she wouldn’t kill Vader, but for her to come so close and fall at the final hurdle is even more heartbreaking. She went out like an absolute champion.
Actually that’s not his health bar that is his patience meter
I'm pretty sure Bode was using Dagan Gera's saber.
It is.
It is. If you go back to where you last fought Dagan, there's an echo of Bode picking up the saber
With the starkiller stance too
@@yahiko7701 exactly!
@@yahiko7701That doesn't make sense for Bode, though. The reverse grip is usually used by people to compensate for lack of strength or smaller builds. Bode is clearly not either. I guess it's just personal preference on his part.
The “morality” is supposed to be that Cal only strikes down those who are fighting back. The “Jedi Way” is that those who cannot defend themselves, those unarmed, should not be killed. Like when Anakin disarmed (literally) Dooku. He was supposed to let him live because he was no longer a threat. Anyone who has the potential to fight back (in that exact moment) can be killed ethically according to the Jedi code.
I disagree with him just shooting bode. Ik I shouldn't but I mean- in front of his daughter? I'm surprised Kata doesn't have outbursts towards Cal everytime he tries talking to her. But yeah Bode was technically unarmed when his blaster failed. No way Cal's gun didn't have stun mode
What’s ironic is that you don’t need your hands to use the force. Dooku was technically still a threat as he could’ve still used the force.
@epic-fictionalprojects4394 Bode had to be put down. You missed the point of his character arc. Towards the end he was being more and more consumed by the dark side, to the point that he started to attack his daughter and the range of the attacks just got increasingly worse overtime. They gave him many chances to give up but it was clear that no matter what they did, Bode wasn't going to stop.
Merrin stopping Cal had less to do with killing Davik and more about letting the dark side consume him. The dark side when it consumes you.. you're gone
Yeap, if you don't hit the brakes and keep acting out of anger and revenge you are a done deal. I mean everyone can lose their shit, even jedi are just people that can be overwelmed by emotion at some point but the important thing is to find the clarity and calm yourself down. That's what Merrin did there for Cal. Denvik was dead anyways, he said it himself, if it wasn't Cal, it would be Vader so letting him alive wasn't changing anything in the outcome but it saved Cal from going down the dark side
Do not strike down in anger, that is the way of the Jedi. The Force is to be used for knowledge and defence, not attack.
🤓🤓🤓
Agreed. Revenge is not the Jedi way.
@@jackson857 the jedi order is no more
I prefer the sith and the dark side
@@houseofaction the Jedi way isn't exclusive to the order. But if Cal wants to be a Jedi there are still some things he needs to abide by. That's what Dagan was willing to kill his comrades.
I like how all Vader can do is limp away after the duel with Cere. No final words or final attack, he’s just so weakened from the fight he just wants to get going after delivering after a mortal wound
Perfect reaction to the twist:
Alyska starts to like Bode throughout the game then suddenly the betrayal immediately turns all her hatred towards him
BD hanging out on the back of Cal during that "embracing his darkness" sequence wide eyed going "Dude?"
It’s the difference between killing in anger and cold blood from killing and self-defence or to protect others.
That’s the line. Should be easy to see.
16:43 "over my dead bode, he's getting away!"
Good one😂
1. Everyone Cal had killed so far had been armed and trying to kill him. They at least had a fighting chance, or the option not to fight.
2. When Cal was using the Force to hold Denvik at 1:27:79 , he had already disarmed him. Denvik was helpess.
3. Jedi only kill armed hostiles. Any exception to that rule goes against their way, They draw the line at killing anyone who is helpless, or killing anyone for petty and selfish motives like revenge.
4. Cal has been slowly losing his way throughout the game. This is the first time that Merrin has seen it.
The music in this whole Cere sequence is incredible! The music when she died was some of the best I've seen in a video game. So well done!
So far you're the only one I've seen that doesn't ship Merrin & Cal lol
Yeah their relationship felt very realistic to me
Yeah their relationship and bond is one of the strongest parts of the game. Alyska is master a hater😂
Cal and merrins relationship just shows how powerful bonds of love can be, kind of like how Revan and bastila were in kotor, and in a sense it’s a reverse of that situation,
Revan saves bastila from the dark side by using the love he has for her.
Merrin saves cal from losing himself to the darkness with the love she has for him
They have shared the same trauma with the looses of there families and friends they understand each others pain, both have saved each other from there darkness and that’s all because of that love they share
It just goes to show how wrong the Jedi were in a lot of the teachings, even cal sees that. the force responds to emotions so in theory, if the darkness can be channel with hatred and rage, who’s to say that the light cannot be channeled with love and happiness. All that is really need to do is just control those emotions but still allow them to flow freely through.
Perhaps this will be the start of that order with cal as the first Jedi with the help of his love merrin they may start a new Jedi order that closely resembles the Jedi order that Luke had in legend which were much more powerful
Not every character has to be in a romantic relationship
@@captaindc3889true but it raises the stakes and it honestly helps it too
1:19:32 Fun fact: When Dark mode is activated most force powers become a lot more powerful, for example in this instance if you were to press these troops into the ground using R1 & X it would instantly kill them. Also as a secret power if you were to pull any droid below Dark Trooper weight & then press Square while it's in your grasp it activates Force Crush, a Dark side power that in KotOR 2 was exclusive to the Sith Lord bonus class. So yeah... Darth Kestis.
This episode was amazing. The betrayal, the reveal, Darth Vader! Everything was just epic from beginning to end and its fun to see you have fun as well
Cere's death was so heartbreaking but god damn was it beautifully shot, acted, and composed.
Merrin stopped him from killing the guy because he would have done so out of hatred. The Dark side. We know how that goes. It's a slippery slope
Nice to see your reaction to this! I was also upset at Bode but at the same time I can see his side. I get the feeling that he was initially okay if it was with just him, Kata, Cal, Merrin, and the rest of the crew going to Tanalorr but once the Hidden Path was brought up, it drove him to just take himself and Kata.
The problem with bringing the Hidden Path is that you don’t know them, how many of them will eventually become bad apples that would expose the location of the planet or cause some sort of trouble. Also if you’re constantly bringing people over to help them hide from the empire, you’ll eventually get found out.
If you take the selfish path, get small party of trusted people with you that are like family and just jump in there and live your lives, there’s absolutely nothing to worry about and you can probably live happily ever after and die of old age without ever hearing about the empire again. Of course that wouldn’t make the plot interesting but that’s what I would do if this was irl stuff.
The thing is that Bode was right, from a tactical standpoint. When you start gathering large amounts of Force-sensitive refugees somewhere, the planet develops a unique signature in the Force that Vader and the Emperor would sense. That's aside from the military parts of this you mentioned regarding the logistics of funneling people there. The fact that the Jedi scattered actually improved their odds of survival. Yes, alone IF they were found, they'd stand no chance, but alone their chances of hiding successfully were better. Keeping the group of survivors on Tanalorr limited in numbers was actually the smarter play.
I also want to state that people were willing to forgive Joel Miller for doing something VERY similar to what Bode Akuna did. Just...Joel was the protagonist, Bode was not. There is the argument that Joel wasn't close to Marlene, and the betrayal there went both ways, while Bode did profess a close friendship with Cal (he called him brother several times). Personal betrayal always hurts worse. Though Marlene did NOT give the Joel or Ellie a chance to say goodbye, OR have a say in the decision, while Cal DID give Bode a few opportunities to stand down and try to reason with him.
@@thedarkstarr11 So basically nothing like the Joel Miller situation. You started by saying it was similar and then listed basically everything that was different between them 😂
@@atharvawaikar9730 How is it different? Joel slaughtered all those Fireflies and robbed humanity of a potential cure to protect Ellie (even though it's what she would've wanted). Bode betrayed Cal and sold out the Hidden Path to protect his daughter. Both did horrible things for selfish reasons. If Bode was the protagonist like Joel, I'm sure all those people angry at him would suddenly be sympathetic. It's just that we've spent more time with Cal and have a stronger connection with him.
@@izilladkilla "Even though it's what she would have wanted." Soo you a psychic or something because the whole point was that the Fireflies did not tell anyone about the risk involved and the fact that all their previous attempts had failed miserably. Unlike the Bode situation where Cal hid nothing from him and involved him in every decision he made.
“Your betrayal hurts when it’s someone you thought you could trust.”
Tell that to Obi Wan and Padme. 😂😂😂
And that “you’re gonna turn me into a Sith” had me dying of laughter. 😂😂😂
It's like love and romance in a video game are taboo for some reason 🙄
A lot of the "build-up" could be inferred/implied from their conversations together. The fact that both of them were one of the last survivors of their kind. The fact that Cal redeemed Merrin from a dark path. Merrin embracing Cal after their mission on Nur. The unwritten journeys they had together after FO. Merrin saying that Cal was never far from her thoughts during her travels.
How much "build-up" is needed, really, for it to be considered enough? Adversity and common experiences can accelerate relationships faster than we think. Cal and Merrin had 5 years to realise what they really want from one another.
Yea I don’t understand why she thinks it’s forced. It’s built up pretty well. Especially if you catch all the looks they give each other and pay attention to the dialogue between them
@@timothymance2710 my thoughts exactly. The moment she thought it was "forced" I rolled my eyes. Of course, bad takes can always be defended with "it's just my opinion", and then stop there without trying to see from the other point of view.
@@timothymance2710 The looks they give each other and the dialogue *are* kinda forced though. It all happens *very* quickly.
I agree. And this doesn't just apply to fictional works such as movies, video games, or books. I, personally, can confirm that it's possible in real life. My now fiancée and I met a little less than 2 years ago through a mutual friend, began dating about a year ago and realized we had a ton in common. Then, we went through some very dramatic times in both our lives where we were each other's rock. That's when we realized we were definitely feeling something more. I proposed a couple of weeks ago and she said yes. So, people who say that a couple must be together for a set amount of time before it's "real" or "true love" don't have a clue.
She didnt care about the enemies, she cared about Cal and his dark side showing.
I think the entire thing is he can't kill Denvik because it's not in a "fight" so it's killing in cold blood. However yeah the fact that all the people "just following orders" can be slaughtered by the dozens but the ones who ordered them must not be harmed is kind of odd.
Well I think the difference lies in the motives for killing, Cal had nothing personal against the soldiers he massacred they just got in his way. Unlike Denvik, he is the cause of all his misfortunes (Bode). The death of Cordova and Cere, if Cal succumbed to his anger and killed Denvik there would be no turning back.
Alyska, I adore and respect you very much. But not being a Cal and Merrin supporter is high level insanity. Respectfully of course.
Respectful of course
Alyska: not being a cal merrin supporter
The cal merrin supporters : don’t lecture us Alyska we see though the lies of the Jedi, we don’t not fear the the cal merrin ship as you do
Difference of opinion does not in fact equate to "high level insanity" believe it or not.
@@adamparker43 Joke
@@ZaWardo151 That’s funny
11:19 That's right, The Jedi Order is gone and it's time to leave it behind.
Its like she didn’t saw the movies on how the dark side works apparently she wants Cal to turn like Anakin
Bode is by far one of The Most treacherous n unpredictable character in the Jedi Games
I don't think Merrin's point was that you can't kill Lank Denvik, but rather that if he keeps using the dark side, it'd consume him. That being said, Star Wars morality is ill-defined at best.
which really makes no sense since the magic of the night sisters is by definition the DARK SIDE.
Jedi cant cut someone down in anger or revenge since those emotions lead to the dark side.
Jedis can’t just go killing in anger or seeking vengeance.
your reaction through the whole thing was just, the best. i feel like if another human was in that room at that moment, they may have choked lol.
Vaders health bar isn’t a health bar. It’s his dwindling patience.
The way Alyska went 😮😮 at the force push lol
1:27:35 he could not kill the guy coz then he will embrace the dark side and with that will destroy litteraly everything so... u have ur answer
33:29 I sometimes forget that this man is Anakin SKywalker, General of the 501st Legion during the Clone Wars.
I guess killing to defend yourself is A-Okay to the Jedi but if you kill out of Revenge that's the dark side coming through. I think leaving that Empire turd for Vader to kill is the way to go though, cause you know Vader will make him suffer for his failures.
Your playthrough and reactions to all of this. :) The scrunched up face of the kiss, the betrayal, the deaths, Vader. You were embracing the dark side for sure and your got to use it a bit. I sense more of that to come. :)
I love how she saw the the betrayal coming, but her reaction to the reveal of Bode being a sith was priceless! That jaw drop and gasp was so good! lol
Not a sith. A dark Jedi
33:53 I JUST noticed Vader's light saber is reflected in his mask when he lights it up. Such an awesome detail.
You cant like Anakin and hate Bode. They're literally the same character.
sorry for the incoming paragraph, this is just my thoughts! i think the reason you can love anakin and hate bode is that as much as anakin's turn to the darkside hurts, we KNOW what's going to happen. we dont feel the betrayal the same way because no matter what, we know he's going to become vader. but bode? fuck dude, i didnt see that shit coming. like you knew he was acting weird after we killed dagan but it was such a shock and it feels so much worse.
@@ghostb1tch61 It's the main character bias that we all suffer from. There are plenty of characters who are willing to sacrifice everything and everyone for the people they care for. However, we truly only see how dumb that logic is when villains or side characters do it.
Really liked Bode. I had just finished playing The Last of Us for the first time the week before. Bode really reminded me of Joel. Really understood his pov
That's some trick Bode parking his fighter on Jedha when it was on the landing pad when he took off from Koboh on the Mantis 😂
kinda funny to think about the fact that this and the kenobi show take place in the same year, because vader got his shit rocked two times in one year. obviously it didnt kill him either time but he definitely left the arena worse for wear
Within the span of an hour I went from overwhelming joy with Cal and Merrin to wiping away tears after Cere’s death. This is without question one of the most painful and destructive betrayals in all of Star Wars history. As soon as Bode brought up the idea that maybe he and the crew go to Tanalorr alone first I knew something was up. Because that sounded like he was racing against a clock. And while I understand that he did everything for his daughter, it’s still unforgivable what he did to Cordova.
This is *almost* worse than what Joel did at the end of The Last Of Us.
As for Cere, I absolutely loved playing as her. And I freaking cried my eyes out at her death scene. I like Cal didn’t know how I felt about Cere until the end of Fallen Order, but now after finishing Survivor Cere Junda is one of my all time favorite Jedi! Her fight scene with Darth Vader was both one of the greatest boss fights I have ever seen in my life and one of the most emotionally powerful duels in all of Star Wars.
Debra Wilson should get a Game Award nomination for this role.
Previously:
Alyska: “I don’t want Bode to die.”
Later
Alyska: “Let’s kill Bode.”😂😂
what joel did was much worse, he literally damned the world by saving her
omg that has to be the most adorable trash talk i ever heard
Alyska ready to make Kata an orphan 😭
It's not the killing that's a problem for a Force Sensitive, it's doing it in anger that poses an issue.
Sometimes, fathers can be monsters. For example, Ozai from Avatar: The Last Airbender, Stan Smith from American Dad! You people can name the rest.
When Cere died so did the wifi connection she was that strong😔
Funny, Wanda said the same thing in Dr. Strange in the Multiverse of Madness that she is not a monster, but a mother. I did say that even mothers can be monsters like the High Priestess from Samurai Jack.
Don't forget Anakin Skywalker
Cal didn't need to kill Denvik. Vader will do much worse to him
that is something i have always hated in media, the minions can will and do die by the trillions but the ones in charge get to live, to "pay" it's the thing that ticked me off most about like arrow season 1 especially. kill if you must, don't if you have the option, but don't pick and choose.
tbf Vader was fast approaching the system with his Inquistitors...
so everyone there was f**ked with or without Cal lol
Hey Alyska,👑🌹👑
Got on late my internet was down
but I'm watching now with you playing
Star Wars Jedi: Survivor pt. 9 and the
Biggest Betrayal.👑🌹👑
I hope that you are doing okay and have
a beautiful weekend and Thank You Alyska.
👑🌹👑
The reason it was permissible to kill so many people in combat it because they were trying to kill you at the same time. You were using lethal force, yes, but you were protecting yourself.
Conversely, the reason you couldn't kill the inquisitor it because it would not of been a killing so much as an execution. He was a helpless enemy, that would have only died because you chose to kill him. Making it more an act of vengeance or revenge which is not the Jedi way
It’s crazy looking back seeing how obvious it was that bode was stronger than he said. He was able to at least somewhat keep up with a Jedi turned sith of the high republic. He literally dodged a lightsaber being thrown at him in a way that could only be down by having the force.
Impressed you picked up on abode’s face. It was only after replays and video clips that you can see the regret in his face when the alarm goes off.
You swear a lot, I like that! It just shows your natural reaction to one of the greatest betrayals in SW history
Fun fact: Jedi: Survivor isn't the first Star Wars media Jedha made an appearance in. That was in Rogue One. But, chronologically, Survivor is the first.
I feel like one of reasons the romance feels off is because of the book that was released called Jedi: Battle Scars. It takes place after the events of Fallen Order, and I believe it is responsible for setting up the events of Jedi: Survivor. Supposedly, it explores Cal and Merrin's relationship.
In my opinion, I don't think that was a good idea. They should've left the story unfold only throughout the games because finishing Fallen Order and continuing with Jedi: Survivor, it feels like you are missing a good portion of the plot.
Example:
- Merrin joins the mantis crew at the end of the game in Fallen Order; Merrin meets up with Cal almost halfway through the game in Jedi: Survivor.
- At the end of Fallen Order, Cal says to his crew "So, where to now?"; Starting Jedi: Survivor, Cal has a new crew.
To be fair, Han and Leia's relationship moved fairly fast too. Fallen Order set up the ship tease, Battle Scars helped, but was unnecessary for the relationship to progress. In the end, it comes down to personal preference. Not everyone was for it. I was. I thought it was built up well enough...this is a game, not five seasons of Rebels, so I wasn't expecting a lot...and it was CERTAINLY less cringe worthy than what Anakin and Padme went through (I liked the relationship...NOT how Lucas directed it, because both actors are actually really good at what they do and I felt that he felt his vision was the only way to go about it, which meant NOT trusting two good actors to sell the scene like they were able). Still, nothing says you have to like the relationship. I think it served the character arc, and the story well. If there is a sequel though, I figure Cal and Merrin will have a child...and he'll end up like MOST of the other Jedi...y'know, killed off in a heroic sacrifice or something. Then ten years down the line, we'll get a Disney Plus series about their kid.
Seemed pretty damn obvious the route their relationship would take in the first game the moment Cal gave her the Astrium on Dathomir and their hands lingered awkwardly. You could tell they liked each other when they started talking. Both of them were survivors who found a kindred spirit. It’s a matter of opinion but sometimes less is more
17:00 now imagine if obi wan said "use the fucking force" in a new hope to luke.
He killed hundreds of people *actively attacking* him. The ISB agent in that moment had been disarmed and was no longer an active threat. That's the difference. Jedi don't strike down in anger and hate. Strangling that guy to death after he had already been disarmed would have absolutely qualified.
“You’re gonna make me a sith!!” - Alyska 2023
My reaction for a kiss - YES!!! FINALLY!!!
Alyska reaction - 11:50
BD's electro darts are what you need to open those chests that look like a small radio.
I dont think Bode is a monster. And esoecially not selfish. Everything he does is for his daughter to keep her safe. If cal didnt want to give Tanalor to the Hidden Path, Bode propably would have settled things peaceful
1:15:43 😂 your reaction cracked me up!
Honestly I cried when Cere was killed by Darth Vader but I was angry at Bode for the betrayal
1:15:27
Dang that was quick 😂
One of the best reactions of all time! Love the righteous fury!
After that speeder bike chase. I kinda hope that in the next game they give you your own customizable speeder bike.
Cal Kestis Deserves to Have a Purple Lightsaber 💜
Bro I remember when the celebration party for this game and everyone was just dressed up as cal and merrin 😂❤
Want to be intimidating, how about a pink poncho, that would make anybody fear of you, "Look at me, I'm wearing a pink poncho, FEAR ME"
She wanted to kill Bodes daughter when she’s pissed, oh boy😅
Vader killed me so many times on my first try, once he get him angry he’s so fast.
Vader (Phase 3): Now I'm Motivated!
Am I the only one who thinks that the Imperial Base’s alarm sounds like someone shouting “NO!” over and over?
31:51 Merrin!!!!!!!!!!! No......... you are cal's only true love, you're his true love...... Cere needs to face Vader alone.
Been waiting to see your reaction to this.
"Where do we draw the line?" When you start taking lives for no other reason than pure hatred. Denvik was beaten, unarmed, he was no longer a threat. It wasn't self-defense anymore, Cal just wanted him dead purely for revenge. Merrin could see he was giving in to the darkness and stopped him before it was too late. Once he's embraced that path, there's no going back.
NOW THAT I HAVE BEEN TO REALIZE THAT THE ACTOR WHO PLAYED HIM IS HANK'S COMPANION IN BREAMING BAD
Alyska really went totally Sith on that episode 😄
Bruh she’s watching Cal torture someone using the dark side
No offense....butttt the fact that you like the "tension" of a friendship rather than the actual build up of someone being together says more to your experience in your own life than it being something "forced"
Thr line's drawn between killing people in the heat of the moment and killing people in cold blood
Girl your réaction is very incredible 😂
So fun fact. The grenade Bode throws at Cal after killing Cordova was an impact grenade not a thermal detonator (which has a timer). The impact grenade should have detonated on impact with the ground.
You underestimate the power of the dark side ! Or u don’t realise it can refill unusually fast in this scene
Cals Darkness is the coolest shit ever. Gives me Starkiller vibes. I hope we see more of this in the future.
I had no idea that Bode was going to betray I mean things were suspicious since I thought that Dagan was the end all be all villain but I was so distraught and disappointed in Bode and heartbroken I liked him so much and then the whole Cere thing it all had me up at like 4am contemplating everything.
Holy shit! You beat Vader first try! I'm impressed!
Probably easier mode.
Wow alyska was really walking on the edge of darkness in this episode
The moment when cal about to kill the imperial leader near the end of the video is a goal example of ludonarrative dissonance like cal has hundreds of stormtroopers but one leader that causes the most damage that too far like what like he the most responsible so that made no sense.
Jedi cant cut someone down in anger or revenge. Also, Jedi cant harm the defenseless. If Cal had simply deflected those bolts back at Denvik, it would've been fine, but he had disarmed him making him defenseless.
Good game play
"I thought they had more chemistry in the flirty friend way"
People flirt with their friends?
Can we talk about the fact her internet disconnected when Cere disconnected lmfao 🤣🤣
Is the line really weirdly drawn for morality? Seems really obvious. You kill in self defense, but never as an indulgence. He took that captain guy down, that was it, there was no need to kill him, especially painfully. The jedi way is fight to protect others and yourself, but never harm if you dont need to, at least as someone whos never seen any of the movies thats what it feels like it is.
Technically Bode is no longer a Jedi he’s a Fallen Rouge or Dark Jedi to me is a fallen Jedi just like Malicos
Vader killed your wifi connection or what? 🤣
That move at 1:24:14 was insane! alyskaPog
Gonna need infinite embrace the darkness cheat to survive.
Is that Skoova Stev’s little ship at 5:19 just floating in space?
