I absolutely expected bode to betray you every since the start, but him being another Jedi was an unexpected and amazing twist, especially how it adds that extra layer to the shock and betrayal
Same. I got tipped off when he sprinted to the senator (I was wrong) Then I was sure he was a spy when he survived the 9th sister. Had zero clue he'd be a jedi. That was a great twist
I'll be honest, I didn't expect a Bode betrayal to be part of the story at all because I was so focused on defeating Dagan. If anything, I thought Bode was gonna be one of those "one last job, then I'm retiring for my little girl" tropes that ends up dying as soon as we succeed.
@@demonintellect9834 He tore the arena up multiple times and would've killed her each time if she'd been slower or Merrin hadn't stepped in. He doesn't get the honor of saying it was for her.
I wasn’t totally shocked about the betrayal when Cal conveniently left Dagan’s lightsaber behind and Bode conveniently stuck around to “look around” afterwards
when he was juuuuust a little too attached to the compass doohicky after you killed dagan, i about rolled my eyes into the back of my brain. didn't need to be a jedi to read that telegraph job.
After he showed up at the club I was already kinda sure he is a spy. I mean... escaping the empire after all that without a scratch on his first mission, that smells fishy already.
I just thought he was gonna get killed later in the story. Especially during the last Dagan Gera fight. I wasn't surprised when he betrayed us,but I DID NOT see the secret Jedi twist coming. I was almost as shook as Cal was.
There's many times he make a mistake, for me it was pretty obvious, but game did fine to pacify that feeling every time. Anyway it's not surprise that he's a traitor, a surprise that he's a jedi
Him being a (former) Jedi was about the only thing about his character that surprised me. That and the fact that his daughter seemed real chill about us killing her dad in front of her.
All we have to go on is that she’s distant from him because she loved her mother more and he’s changed since her death. Aka he’s become an absent and simultaneously overbearing parent.
And him being a former Jedi is bullshit came out of nowhere and out of 4 fully trained Jedis interacting with him or fighting against and 1 night sister nobody sensed nothing, that's bullshit Even Inquisitors were able to feel the emotions and state of mind of adversaries
Bode chose to kill master cordova and he had no problem in trying to kill his so called brother so have zero empathy for him as betrayal is the worst sin of all
Not to mention how stupid his plan was. Go to an impossible planet to find with just his daughter to live with nobody else there, and with uncharted plants and lifeforms. What if he was killed by some creature? Got poisoned? Fatally injured? Old age? He'd leave his daughter alone to live a long life of going insane until the universe grants her mercy by killing her. His idea was very flawed by not allowing more to come and build a new society there, and all he cared about was what was best for himself, not his daughter.
yeah i was wondering if i was the only one who was super confused by bode. don’t get me wrong, i like his character, but his motives make literally zero sense. imo it was lazy writing with how far they used him being a father to justify his actions, even when i take into considering that bode was a jedi and never meant to have experienced having his own family and the intense emotions that come with that. him wanting to revenge against inquisitors makes more sense, not hindering and killing the people literally fighting the ones who took his 2nd chance at life away. this isn’t even mentioning that he could have chilled on tanalorr the entire time, he did not need to do any of this. it was his exit ticket out of ISB
@@nofacedgoldfish6216 i mean at the same time you gotta remember bode thought it was a habitable place,with necessary materials,since dagan gera and Sintari kree were there,and a good amount of the jedi order. yeah hed have to be careful,but hes probably got some star wars analyzer on his ship,since we see half the characters in star wars eating god knows what and being fine,they probably have some way to test. and yeah his idea was flawed,but not for that reason,he had a good reason for not wanting to,since he wanted to go with cal and his group(merrin,cere,greez,bd),but you can see him switch his thinking when cal mentions building an army/taking the hidden path(jedi,and people that want to fight the empire) to tanalor too(their convo after killing dagan,you see it in bodes face as cal tells him he wants to make a fighting force on tanalorr) ,which would end up eventually showing the empire where tanalorr is. How you ask? because to recruit and get resources they need,theyd have to make constant trips out,same with making guerilla attacks,which would eventually get either an imperial spy through one of the ships,or even worse theyd plant a tracker,and eventually make a compass themselves. (once again,bode was way too extremist,and tbh at the end was kinda drunk on the dark side which we know makes you think not clearly,so yeah he kinda went balls to the walls)
I was a bit sus on bode cause hes a new character and we don't know his past but once we beat Dagan I thought that was the ending haha. Got hit with the twist cheese
The twist got me, Bode seemed like a brother to Cal. It Isn’t until the games over that you can find Echo’s painting a clear picture of how manipulative and self serving Bode truly was. Using fatherhood to Justify the horrific act’s he committed.
He did truly care for Cal, though, and wanted to find another way. He was on board with going there with the Mantis crew, but just wouldn't let the Path come with them as it brought too much risk. In the Saber Force Echo, he decides he will give Cal "one last chance", and their conversation on Jedha where Bode proposes going to Tanalorr before bringing the Hidden Path was clearly part of that.
I thought he was truly with us, but he did say something that was very sus and had me in my head like "I bet he betrays us." In the cutscene right after you bring the compass to Cordova, when everyone is on the little cliff balcony celebrating, Bode and Cal have a minute alone. During that, Bode tries convincing Cal to go to Tannalorr without the Hidden Ones first, to "make sure its safe". When Cal declines, Bode shows visible disappointment and lets out a sigh. Then Bode slithers off as Merrin shows up, and at that moment i was like "Hes gonna betray me." But I wasnt quite prepared for that magnitude of betrayal tbh.
Bro when he disagreed about the hidden path I thought he was gonna steal the key and try to go alone. Merrin pulls up and I thought Bode was leaving so Cal could have some alone time to smash, so I instantly forgot my suspicions😅. Next thing I know I’m screaming “BOOOOODE!!!” Every 10 seconds right alongside Cal 😂
The betrayal didnt entirely surprise me, it seemed pretty clear that Bode wasnt too happy about Cal wanting to bring the Hidden Path to Tanalorr, since it could attract the Empire, and given the way he talked about his daughter I figured hed be the type to do terrible things to try to protect her. I definitely didnt expect the whole ISB and Jedi thing though, I was feeling so smug the entire time thinking I saw it all coming, and then he force pushed Cal and my jaw dropped.
Bode is the type of character I wind up having zero sympathy for despite their "tragic" circumstances, because even if their motives are understandable, what they wind up doing is so incomprehensibly stupid it overrides that. The man was so caught up in own idiotic fears that he wound up creating the exact circumstances he was trying to prevent, but not even in an ironic way in a "This was the only way it could POSSIBLY turn out, are you sure this wasn't your intention from the start?" way
On the one hand, sure. What he did was real stupid. But what I feel the game fails to make clear is that he should have won. He got away with the only remaining compass, and had absolutely no reason to assume that we would get Deus Ex Machinad to Tannalor at the eleventh hour. His plan would’ve worked if we weren’t the protagonists. Stupid, sure. But it had every reason to be successful
@@drzenter8324I don’t know why people think it’s all that stupid Bode was a spy and easily infiltrated Cal’s team so who’s to say that the same thing wouldn’t happen to the path? Bode wanted there to be no way for the empire to attack his child and honestly it was selfish but it was the only “logical” way
I am so grateful that I never got Bode spoiled for me. I didn't even suspect his betrayal until minutes before it happened. I completely trusted him until the campfire scene when I noticed him acting a little sketchy, and he said he was going to record a message for his daughter. I was like "Oh no. He wouldn't." I tried to push that suspicion away because I liked him, but an when you turn around and he has his blaster pointed at Cordova, I screamed. And that reveal about his true nature as a former Jedi... THAT I never saw coming. It didn't even register with me right away when he pushed Cal away. Amazing twist.
The betrayal wasn’t the thing that shocked me - new character, could have questionable motives - it’s the confrontation after the speeder chase when Bode force pushes Cal, revealing he is a former Jedi. He hadn’t fallen to the dark side, he just made a deal with the devil to keep his daughter safe… understandable, he’s a father who has lost his wife and would do anything to protect his child. The timing of the backstab though… Cal has presented a way out for Bode, a safe haven for him, his daughter, and many others. His betrayal at that point is so misplaced that when that reveal of him being a former Jedi happens, that’s the part that shocked me. Like “wait, this guy is a force user? Wtf? Why is he doing this now?”
@@jorgel.quiroz8862 but that’s the thing, he been deep into it for awhile, the fact that he never fell is impressive. He just went about it all wrong, he didn’t have to kill Cordova, he could have just stolen whatever then dip.
He was with Cal up until he was going to bring more people with them to the planet. Once Cal made that decision, Bode decided that he had to betray him because now it would not be safe and the empire would get to them (in his mind)
The reveal that he was a former Jedi was the only shocking part IMO, too. There were so many signs leading up to his betrayal that I kept waiting for SOMETHING to happen, and of course, it did.
I had the Bode thing spoiled for me very early on, but man, if you know ahead of time they telegraph that twist like crazy. Do another playthrough and listen to what he says and does and it is *so* obvious in hindsight.
I kinda got spoiled as well. The only spoiler I got was that there was a Bode boss fight but I didn’t know the context. I thought he would be mind tricked into fighting us so when he betrayed it caught me way off guard
I spoiled it for myself. After he came to the saloon, and we spoke a few times, I could not shake the feeling that he was kinda sus. So I googled "Bode traitor" and what do you know... He was a traitor.
thankfully it wasnt spoiled for me, and holy shit does it hit hard. my heart was racing when bode killed cordova and i felt just as angry and confused as Cal did during that chase scene. i fully thought he was on our side and his betrayal hit hard, and the fact he was Jedi was even better
@@hirenbhavsar2073 I kinda got the same spoilers and the same thought process. The brainwashing / illusion tactics is not farfetch in SW. But when he killed Cordova I was like WTF???
The unique thing about Bode betrayal compared to others like it is he had no remorse. He may have had dry sorry's about what he did but he never regretted any of it. His soul desire and single focus was to protect his daughter even if it actually hurt her in the end.
The way he shoots Master Cordova twice and then pretty much blows a bomb on his body was overkill but hilarious when Cal still checked if cordova was alive
Bode also was the one to convince Cal to pursue Merrin, that could come into question in the 3rd game given Cal can now access the Dark Side. Thankfully thanks to Kata being there, I don't think Cal and Merrin will fall into the same trap as Anakin and Padme. They have something to live for now and its not just each other.
I didn't even think about the fact that there could be a 3rd game until I solved the Wayfinder Shrine on Jedha. They could totally make Cal a Grey Jedi and run with it. It would be a great way to crossover with Ahsoka, too. I heard a rumor he is supposed to cameo in an upcoming SW project.
@@thelumberdaddy6739 I hope not, other than Darth Vader tying up loose ends with Cere. Cal should be separate from Disney Star Wars so he can survive long into the future. Granted there are elements of his story in that it connects but it stands on its own merit. I don't want Cal and everything he has worked for to fall like Mando did in Season 3 or for that matter Luke in TLJ. Keep Cal away from Kathleen Kennedy.
@@JRGProjects Wasn't Lucas trying to buy back into Star Wars because she fucked it up so bad? I heard an interview where he said she has "no idea what she's doing" with the franchise.
@@thelumberdaddy6739 Perhaps he was wishing he could but once he sold it to Disney, that opportunity was gone. Hence Jon Faverau, however we know how that is turning out. I bet EA and Respawn consulted with George Lucas much like they had Mark Hamill working with Cameron on set. In some ways this series is a reset of Star Wars proper despite Disney screwing it up.
@@JRGProjects I almost wonder, since Disney declared it non-canonical, if GL could take everything associated with what is now "Legends" ie... all the ACTUAL Star Wars literature, and produce a correct set of movies, background, etc, without copyright infringement, or if he could just buy back the non canon IP
I remember talking to him in the Archives on Jedha and Bode complimented Cere and he said something along the lines of “Cere’s keeping so much of her power held back to achieve a larger goal.” Then Cal said “There’s more to her than meets the eye.” It’s clearly also hinting at Bode himself
Saw this dude and the moment he mentioned his kid, I figured he'd be dead by the end of the game. After he survived the Dagan fight, I figured pretty quickly something was suss about him.
No fact! At the beginning of the game fr I didn’t trust how long he took to shot the guy. & like many people said new character, can’t trust him. But he stuck around and we never paid him? & bro surviving that Dagan fight I was like 🤔🤔 homie never mentioned having training like this. Cal comparing to Cere earlier (marksman) rubbed me the wrong way. Him giving me the blaster (even tho it’s my favorite) he just seemed off. But when he force push me, that’s when I embraced the darkside because he really played with us on so many levels
Same! I thought he’d be murdered by Dagan and when he wasn’t, I was shocked. I also thought that Bode staying behind after that fight was just to take a breather - never occurred to me that it was to grab Dagans saber until I read these comments. I loved this game!
I realize it was the campfire scene that was so perfectly formulated to make us at least lower our suspicions of him that made the betrayal so much worse
I luckly wasn't spoiled so the betrayal hit me like a truck, although can't say I wasn't suspicious of him since the time he left us in corusant during the get away
I was left speechless after his betrayal. Here I was thinking, it’s actually going to be okay! No cliche sudden attack from the empire, no character deaths, this game would actually have a good, peaceful and happy ending! I wanted to believe it so bad, when the betrayal happened, I felt like Cal, hurt and just wanting to know “why”? We were so close to a happy ending, and he threw it all away. I literally had to just sit down and listen to the silence after the whole event. It hurt even more when I would see the red background on the menu, reminding me constantly of the harsh betrayal. I didn’t expect the game to hit me as hard as it did.
I can’t believe I made it to this part without getting it spoiled! I thought he was just going to die but I was so surprised at what actually went down. Looking back though yeah this was sus and when he said “let’s check it out first just the two of us…”
I think Bode’s insane plan makes sense once you put it into the context of his fall. He wasn’t angry at the Empire, he was terrified of it and terrified of his daughter becoming another one of it’s victims, he was running as fast as he could and he was desperate to escape, no matter the cost. Plus he had a working compass, he could leave and come back anytime if he needed to get supplies. I also think that his murder of Master Cordova and calling out the Hidden Path was a way of appeasing the Empire before his escape, I’m not saying he was right, or that I have any sympathy for him after Jedha, but I am saying that the Dark Side is a terrible thing that makes people commit atrocities that they never would have done before. Another reason I hate him is because he constantly tries to excuse his actions as being a caring father, I understand that a good father will do anything for their kid, but went way too far, there’s a point when it stops being caring and starts being selfish and he went way past that point
I think the fact that he nearly gets Kata hurt or killed by accident during his rampage in the final battle shows that his obsession was the one putting his daughter most at risk at moment. Not to mention that she seemed uncomfortable being there in the first place when Cal and Merrin show up. At this point Bode wasn't really thinking really about his daughter anymore, but about himself and how *he* would feel if he lost her after losing another close family member in his wife. And that situation sounds awfully familiar, doesn't it? "When you *could* have saved her, when you could have gone *away* with her, when you could have been thinking about *her* , you were thinking about *yourself* ."
Ngl, this is the exact scenario in why the ORDER was so crazy about no connections. His fear and obsession led him astray. While Cal was able to forge connections that were healthy and he was able to let Cere go, and even be willing to give Bode a 2nd, 3rd, and 4th chance. Cal is doing attachment correctly Bode is doing so incorrectly.
I caught onto the surprise when Bode watched Cal go after the inquisitor at the start and endanger everyone, but says nothing about it and pretend Cal is his best friend the next time they meet even tho they’ve known each other all of about 30 minutes lol
My headcanon is that seeing this vision of what Bode fears the most set him off. After that moment, his walls started to come down and his behavior became way more suspicious.
I had the feeling something was up right at the start of the game when you flee Coruscant and despite everyone dying Bode, a "rookie", still makes it out while being chased by TIE fighters with his ship unscratched. I didn't think he would be what he is in the game, but I thought he had made a deal with the Imperials to avoid being captured.
Honestly, I saw the betrayal coming from the very first mission. Basically from the first moment on screen, I knew Bode was bad news... I just didn't know what exactly his role was going to be. It became obvious though once Dagan died and the story kept going that he was going to be the new villain
I like the part where Cal kills Bode then Bode’s daughter was like, well he was a bad dude and was acting weird. Then she teams with the Cal, the guy that just killed her dad.
I knew right away Bode was going to be a traitor. No good side character ever survives the "Let's split up. I'll take some of the bad guys with me." trope.
I got the bode betrayal spoiled in the dumbest way possible. I looked up bode akuna on google and in the search bar the word betrayal popped up😩 I tryed to convince myself that it wasn’t a real spoiler but low and behold. At least I didn’t know he was a jedi
I couldn’t see Bode as being a bad guy since he was voiced by the same actor who played Charles in Red Dead Redemption 2, that voice just makes me think of an awesome guy.
As soon as he started talking about going to Tanalorr first as soon as Cordova fixed the compass i started getting worried about a betrayal but the Jedi thing really was a twist i wasn't expecting. O_o
I knew it on jeda when you speak to him on the cliff. So spaced out. Nothing justifies what he did but you can see flashes of shame and sadness about what he was doing...but he killed Cordova, give that motherf***** the guillotine!!!
Say Bode won and got what he wanted. He was gonna have his child grow up on a deserted planet, with no one else around but him? No chance to have an actual life, meet people, fall in love, have children of her own? Yeah no, bright future for her right there.
The game agrees with you. Kata is pretty depressed and lonely when you meet her on Tanalorr. And that was after only a couple days. Funny thing about Jedi and family is they allow you to have one for cultural reasons: Ki Adi Mundi had one and he sat on the Council. They forbid strong attachment because it's a gateway to fear and control, like Bode or Anakin. Obi Wan had several people he loved, but he was able to let them go and make peace with their loss instead of fearing it
I wasn’t totally convinced that the “new guy bode” should have been trusted as much as we were trusting him and I thought after all the years cal would have put people through more trials to be trusted.
Granted, I thought Bode would betray Cal pretty early on, BUT there were several occasions where it would have also made sense and he didn't. So I got my hopes up again, only to be SUPER let down again 😂
I honestly thought he was going to die in the Dagan fight, while Cal was going to let his hate and anger take over. Which ironically happens directly after the betrayal. I knew things didn’t Bode well the closer they became
Bode had this one line when they were on the Lucrehulk. I'm paraphrasing but he said "When you play with me, the game is rigged from the start." My immediate reaction was "Oh, this guy is gonna betray me."
Playing a second playthrough is so frustrating with bode 😂 especially when he meets geez for the first time and geez says something like "whew, I thought you were an imperial spy"
Everytime I heard him call Cal "Brother" It made me think of my own brother and I really fell for his tricks. I was unfortunately spoiled on what happens so I knew it was coming but luckily I had no idea about who and what he really was so THAT reveal was insane!
I totally had a feeling, but I didn't know... But when Cordova... Man. No. That broke me. Then Vadar.. No one ever fights Vadar twice and gets to get away like that...
One of my fave scenes out of this is when it happens and your chasing him when you get to the end of the chase cal says why why bode we fought for that together and your just gonna hand it to the empire how cal said those lines especially the fought for that together and your just gonna hand it to the empire you could feel it in his voice
Bruh, I seen this coming at the start. When you pair up with Bode the first time theres a bit where you tell him what to do and he hits you with the "Stop reading my mind Jedi" in such a serious tone. Because you tell him what to do 2 times before and he replies normally.
Throughout the story, I thought Bode was alright. It was nice to have a surviving companion. After defeating Dagen, i raised an eyebrow in suspicion. When his betrayal happened, it was a bummer. When he force pushed us, my jaw hit the floor. That was exciting, cause i was wondering "how's this bounty hunter-like dude gonna beat a jedi?" Well that was quickly answered.
You're not going to believe me, but my brother and I knew it from the first scene with him, in Coruscant. The VA was SO obvious about the character they were portraying..
I accidentally had Bode's betrayal spolied for me from glancing at a post on reddit. BUT the fact he was a former Jedi still ABSOLUTELY got me. I never saw that coming, my jaw literally dropped when he force pushed Cal away
I immediately knew Bode was going to betray us since Coruscant. I mean how else was I supposed to take the line, "When you play with me, the game is rigged from the start"
You can see through force echoes how he was going to betray you. Like we could see him talking to the imperial senator and him talking to himself about his plan.
The SECOND Bode didn't die to Dagan Gera I though "Hey! That's the biggest twist they could have done! The guy had so many red flags that him surviving is honestly pretty out of the left field!" And then he stays behind at Jedah to "record a bedtime story for Kata" and I IMMEDIATELY knew what was coming. Fucking redshirt got me.
I started thinking something was up with Bode when he would casually get directly next to Dagan during fights. Dagan with a lightsaber and force abilities. And Bode just casually gets next to him to shoot at him? Uh huh.
To be honest, the only reason I knew about his betrayal before it happened was because of these FREAKING thumbnails! But if it wasn’t for them then I honestly probably wouldn’t have expected it coming
i knew bode was gonna betray everyone the moment i laid eyes on him, but at the same time i felt it was lazy for them to make cal not be able to sense his intentions
Didn’t really see it coming until he said he was going outside to record a lullaby for his daughter. It seemed pretty Sus and then five minutes later everything started exploding
Second play through all of his dialogue hits harder from “I heard Jedi avoid attachment “ to even some of the early dialogue on the starter planet (can’t spell coursant right apparently)
As soon as Bode was introduced and was the only survivor from Coruscant I knew he was going to fuck me over. I did not how ever, predict the second part of his character twist.
Bode definitely wasn’t planning on betraying Cal from the beginning, but kept it in his pocket as a plan B. I genuinely think that if Cal didn’t want to bring The Path along then Bode wouldn’t have betrayed him
I absolutely expected bode to betray you every since the start, but him being another Jedi was an unexpected and amazing twist, especially how it adds that extra layer to the shock and betrayal
yeah i was sus from the start, especially when hes the only character they have that survives coruscant, but yeah the jedi part not expected
Same here. I was convinced when he made it off of Coruscant unscathed that something was up.
Literally me aswell
Same. I got tipped off when he sprinted to the senator (I was wrong)
Then I was sure he was a spy when he survived the 9th sister.
Had zero clue he'd be a jedi. That was a great twist

I thought I had finished it... 3 more hours after that I was finally right...
Man when he pulled out that force push though I had a whole “You’re one of them!” I thought he was just a spy not Jedi turned ISB.
The twist got me, Bode seemed like a brother to Cal. It Isn’t until the games over that you can find Echo’s painting a clear picture of how manipulative and self serving Bode truly was. Using fatherhood to Justify the horrific act’s he committed.
He did truly care for Cal, though, and wanted to find another way. He was on board with going there with the Mantis crew, but just wouldn't let the Path come with them as it brought too much risk. In the Saber Force Echo, he decides he will give Cal "one last chance", and their conversation on Jedha where Bode proposes going to Tanalorr before bringing the Hidden Path was clearly part of that.
I thought he was truly with us, but he did say something that was very sus and had me in my head like "I bet he betrays us."
In the cutscene right after you bring the compass to Cordova, when everyone is on the little cliff balcony celebrating, Bode and Cal have a minute alone. During that, Bode tries convincing Cal to go to Tannalorr without the Hidden Ones first, to "make sure its safe". When Cal declines, Bode shows visible disappointment and lets out a sigh. Then Bode slithers off as Merrin shows up, and at that moment i was like "Hes gonna betray me." But I wasnt quite prepared for that magnitude of betrayal tbh.
Yeah this is the exact moment I realised something was up. Which is annoying because the literal very next thing is said betrayal
Bro when he disagreed about the hidden path I thought he was gonna steal the key and try to go alone. Merrin pulls up and I thought Bode was leaving so Cal could have some alone time to smash, so I instantly forgot my suspicions😅. Next thing I know I’m screaming “BOOOOODE!!!” Every 10 seconds right alongside Cal 😂
exactly the exact moment i also said to myself that bode will betray me
The betrayal didnt entirely surprise me, it seemed pretty clear that Bode wasnt too happy about Cal wanting to bring the Hidden Path to Tanalorr, since it could attract the Empire, and given the way he talked about his daughter I figured hed be the type to do terrible things to try to protect her. I definitely didnt expect the whole ISB and Jedi thing though, I was feeling so smug the entire time thinking I saw it all coming, and then he force pushed Cal and my jaw dropped.
Bode is the type of character I wind up having zero sympathy for despite their "tragic" circumstances, because even if their motives are understandable, what they wind up doing is so incomprehensibly stupid it overrides that. The man was so caught up in own idiotic fears that he wound up creating the exact circumstances he was trying to prevent, but not even in an ironic way in a "This was the only way it could POSSIBLY turn out, are you sure this wasn't your intention from the start?" way
On the one hand, sure. What he did was real stupid. But what I feel the game fails to make clear is that he should have won. He got away with the only remaining compass, and had absolutely no reason to assume that we would get Deus Ex Machinad to Tannalor at the eleventh hour. His plan would’ve worked if we weren’t the protagonists. Stupid, sure. But it had every reason to be successful
@@drzenter8324I don’t know why people think it’s all that stupid
Bode was a spy and easily infiltrated Cal’s team so who’s to say that the same thing wouldn’t happen to the path? Bode wanted there to be no way for the empire to attack his child and honestly it was selfish but it was the only “logical” way
If Santari Khri hadn't built a backup way to Tanalor, he would have won...
It wasn’t stupid though, that’s like saying Joel saving Ellie was stupid because her death could maybe help make a vaccine for the world.
You know who else did that...... Anakin.
I was like, nah. I’m ready for anything- then I saw Bode…. Made me flinch. I wasn’t ready for this….
took me by surprise too. let my guard down for one second lmao
I am so grateful that I never got Bode spoiled for me. I didn't even suspect his betrayal until minutes before it happened. I completely trusted him until the campfire scene when I noticed him acting a little sketchy, and he said he was going to record a message for his daughter. I was like "Oh no. He wouldn't." I tried to push that suspicion away because I liked him, but an when you turn around and he has his blaster pointed at Cordova, I screamed. And that reveal about his true nature as a former Jedi... THAT I never saw coming. It didn't even register with me right away when he pushed Cal away. Amazing twist.
The betrayal wasn’t the thing that shocked me - new character, could have questionable motives - it’s the confrontation after the speeder chase when Bode force pushes Cal, revealing he is a former Jedi. He hadn’t fallen to the dark side, he just made a deal with the devil to keep his daughter safe… understandable, he’s a father who has lost his wife and would do anything to protect his child. The timing of the backstab though…
Cal has presented a way out for Bode, a safe haven for him, his daughter, and many others. His betrayal at that point is so misplaced that when that reveal of him being a former Jedi happens, that’s the part that shocked me. Like “wait, this guy is a force user? Wtf? Why is he doing this now?”
Remember, it always starts with fear.
@@jorgel.quiroz8862 but that’s the thing, he been deep into it for awhile, the fact that he never fell is impressive. He just went about it all wrong, he didn’t have to kill Cordova, he could have just stolen whatever then dip.
Sorry but that’s wrong. He absolutely did fall to the dark side.
He was with Cal up until he was going to bring more people with them to the planet. Once Cal made that decision, Bode decided that he had to betray him because now it would not be safe and the empire would get to them (in his mind)
The reveal that he was a former Jedi was the only shocking part IMO, too. There were so many signs leading up to his betrayal that I kept waiting for SOMETHING to happen, and of course, it did.
I had the Bode thing spoiled for me very early on, but man, if you know ahead of time they telegraph that twist like crazy. Do another playthrough and listen to what he says and does and it is *so* obvious in hindsight.
I kinda got spoiled as well. The only spoiler I got was that there was a Bode boss fight but I didn’t know the context. I thought he would be mind tricked into fighting us so when he betrayed it caught me way off guard
I spoiled it for myself. After he came to the saloon, and we spoke a few times, I could not shake the feeling that he was kinda sus. So I googled "Bode traitor" and what do you know... He was a traitor.
thankfully it wasnt spoiled for me, and holy shit does it hit hard. my heart was racing when bode killed cordova and i felt just as angry and confused as Cal did during that chase scene. i fully thought he was on our side and his betrayal hit hard, and the fact he was Jedi was even better
@@MacgruberHimself I didn't google it, but after a few hours into the game I went yep.. he going to be a traitor.
@@hirenbhavsar2073 I kinda got the same spoilers and the same thought process. The brainwashing / illusion tactics is not farfetch in SW. But when he killed Cordova I was like WTF???
The unique thing about Bode betrayal compared to others like it is he had no remorse. He may have had dry sorry's about what he did but he never regretted any of it. His soul desire and single focus was to protect his daughter even if it actually hurt her in the end.
The way he shoots Master Cordova twice and then pretty much blows a bomb on his body was overkill but hilarious when Cal still checked if cordova was alive
Jedi are pretty famous for not dying when they _really_ should have
I lol'd a bit at Cere. "He's DEAD"
I expected Bode to betray Cal and the others, but him being a Jedi I didn't see coming at all. That genuinely caught me off guard.
Oh God this is sad. Agreed.
Bode also was the one to convince Cal to pursue Merrin, that could come into question in the 3rd game given Cal can now access the Dark Side. Thankfully thanks to Kata being there, I don't think Cal and Merrin will fall into the same trap as Anakin and Padme. They have something to live for now and its not just each other.
I didn't even think about the fact that there could be a 3rd game until I solved the Wayfinder Shrine on Jedha. They could totally make Cal a Grey Jedi and run with it. It would be a great way to crossover with Ahsoka, too. I heard a rumor he is supposed to cameo in an upcoming SW project.
@@thelumberdaddy6739 I hope not, other than Darth Vader tying up loose ends with Cere. Cal should be separate from Disney Star Wars so he can survive long into the future. Granted there are elements of his story in that it connects but it stands on its own merit. I don't want Cal and everything he has worked for to fall like Mando did in Season 3 or for that matter Luke in TLJ. Keep Cal away from Kathleen Kennedy.
@@JRGProjects Wasn't Lucas trying to buy back into Star Wars because she fucked it up so bad? I heard an interview where he said she has "no idea what she's doing" with the franchise.
@@thelumberdaddy6739 Perhaps he was wishing he could but once he sold it to Disney, that opportunity was gone. Hence Jon Faverau, however we know how that is turning out. I bet EA and Respawn consulted with George Lucas much like they had Mark Hamill working with Cameron on set. In some ways this series is a reset of Star Wars proper despite Disney screwing it up.
@@JRGProjects I almost wonder, since Disney declared it non-canonical, if GL could take everything associated with what is now "Legends" ie... all the ACTUAL Star Wars literature, and produce a correct set of movies, background, etc, without copyright infringement, or if he could just buy back the non canon IP
I remember talking to him in the Archives on Jedha and Bode complimented Cere and he said something along the lines of “Cere’s keeping so much of her power held back to achieve a larger goal.” Then Cal said “There’s more to her than meets the eye.” It’s clearly also hinting at Bode himself
Saw this dude and the moment he mentioned his kid, I figured he'd be dead by the end of the game. After he survived the Dagan fight, I figured pretty quickly something was suss about him.
No fact! At the beginning of the game fr I didn’t trust how long he took to shot the guy.
& like many people said new character, can’t trust him. But he stuck around and we never paid him? & bro surviving that Dagan fight I was like 🤔🤔 homie never mentioned having training like this.
Cal comparing to Cere earlier (marksman) rubbed me the wrong way.
Him giving me the blaster (even tho it’s my favorite) he just seemed off. But when he force push me, that’s when I embraced the darkside because he really played with us on so many levels
Same! I thought he’d be murdered by Dagan and when he wasn’t, I was shocked. I also thought that Bode staying behind after that fight was just to take a breather - never occurred to me that it was to grab Dagans saber until I read these comments. I loved this game!
You either die a Jedi or live long enough to see yourself become the villain. 😅
Him being a Jedi hit me so hard I felt the dark side flow through me in our fight
The first interaction with Bode it was obvious he was going to be a main enemy.
I realize it was the campfire scene that was so perfectly formulated to make us at least lower our suspicions of him that made the betrayal so much worse
I luckly wasn't spoiled so the betrayal hit me like a truck, although can't say I wasn't suspicious of him since the time he left us in corusant during the get away
I was left speechless after his betrayal. Here I was thinking, it’s actually going to be okay! No cliche sudden attack from the empire, no character deaths, this game would actually have a good, peaceful and happy ending! I wanted to believe it so bad, when the betrayal happened, I felt like Cal, hurt and just wanting to know “why”? We were so close to a happy ending, and he threw it all away.
I literally had to just sit down and listen to the silence after the whole event. It hurt even more when I would see the red background on the menu, reminding me constantly of the harsh betrayal. I didn’t expect the game to hit me as hard as it did.
I didnt trust him from the start, something about his was forBODEing
Yes, it definitely did not bode well for Cal...
I only started catching when he weirdly showed a deep interest into the old republic
I can’t believe I made it to this part without getting it spoiled! I thought he was just going to die but I was so surprised at what actually went down. Looking back though yeah this was sus and when he said “let’s check it out first just the two of us…”
I knew from the beginning. His fascia expressions and weird demeanor gave it away.
I new boade was going to do something crazy when cal said we should keep fighting the empire. The look at boade face after cal said that .
I think Bode’s insane plan makes sense once you put it into the context of his fall. He wasn’t angry at the Empire, he was terrified of it and terrified of his daughter becoming another one of it’s victims, he was running as fast as he could and he was desperate to escape, no matter the cost. Plus he had a working compass, he could leave and come back anytime if he needed to get supplies. I also think that his murder of Master Cordova and calling out the Hidden Path was a way of appeasing the Empire before his escape, I’m not saying he was right, or that I have any sympathy for him after Jedha, but I am saying that the Dark Side is a terrible thing that makes people commit atrocities that they never would have done before. Another reason I hate him is because he constantly tries to excuse his actions as being a caring father, I understand that a good father will do anything for their kid, but went way too far, there’s a point when it stops being caring and starts being selfish and he went way past that point
I think the fact that he nearly gets Kata hurt or killed by accident during his rampage in the final battle shows that his obsession was the one putting his daughter most at risk at moment. Not to mention that she seemed uncomfortable being there in the first place when Cal and Merrin show up. At this point Bode wasn't really thinking really about his daughter anymore, but about himself and how *he* would feel if he lost her after losing another close family member in his wife. And that situation sounds awfully familiar, doesn't it?
"When you *could* have saved her, when you could have gone *away* with her, when you could have been thinking about *her* , you were thinking about *yourself* ."
Ngl, this is the exact scenario in why the ORDER was so crazy about no connections. His fear and obsession led him astray.
While Cal was able to forge connections that were healthy and he was able to let Cere go, and even be willing to give Bode a 2nd, 3rd, and 4th chance.
Cal is doing attachment correctly Bode is doing so incorrectly.
I caught onto the surprise when Bode watched Cal go after the inquisitor at the start and endanger everyone, but says nothing about it and pretend Cal is his best friend the next time they meet even tho they’ve known each other all of about 30 minutes lol
I think we all all agree Bode being a Jedi caught us all by surprise
The second he came aboard I didn't trust him. His betrayal got me in my feelings just like when they killed my horse in Ghost of Tsushima. 😂
My headcanon is that seeing this vision of what Bode fears the most set him off. After that moment, his walls started to come down and his behavior became way more suspicious.
I hate that a UA-cam thumbnail spoiled Bode’s betrayal for me
I had the feeling something was up right at the start of the game when you flee Coruscant and despite everyone dying Bode, a "rookie", still makes it out while being chased by TIE fighters with his ship unscratched. I didn't think he would be what he is in the game, but I thought he had made a deal with the Imperials to avoid being captured.
It felt like Bode always had a different idea and values
“You’re not the only one who survived.” Such a cold line as he pulls out the lightsaber
Honestly, I saw the betrayal coming from the very first mission. Basically from the first moment on screen, I knew Bode was bad news... I just didn't know what exactly his role was going to be. It became obvious though once Dagan died and the story kept going that he was going to be the new villain
the betrayal i wasn't shocked about but the jedi part i didn't see coming
I like the part where Cal kills Bode then Bode’s daughter was like, well he was a bad dude and was acting weird. Then she teams with the Cal, the guy that just killed her dad.
Goddammit, I come to UA-cam for kitchen nightmares and memes, not heartwrenching foreshadowing
The feels, they're......F&*@!n RAAWW!
@@chakinabox*violin urgnnn sound*
I suspected him from the beginning, but I didn't expect him to be another Jedi Survivor.
bro the betrayal was wild and then him having force abilities on top was the cherry on top
Every “brother” hits different now
I'm still haunted by the force echo outside the chamber you fight him in
Bode... What a nice guy... What a good friend he is... Of course we can trust him with our lives. It's not like he's gonna betray us or something... 😬
I knew right away Bode was going to be a traitor. No good side character ever survives the "Let's split up. I'll take some of the bad guys with me." trope.
I got the bode betrayal spoiled in the dumbest way possible. I looked up bode akuna on google and in the search bar the word betrayal popped up😩 I tryed to convince myself that it wasn’t a real spoiler but low and behold. At least I didn’t know he was a jedi
I couldn’t see Bode as being a bad guy since he was voiced by the same actor who played Charles in Red Dead Redemption 2, that voice just makes me think of an awesome guy.
As soon as he started talking about going to Tanalorr first as soon as Cordova fixed the compass i started getting worried about a betrayal but the Jedi thing really was a twist i wasn't expecting. O_o
I knew it on jeda when you speak to him on the cliff. So spaced out. Nothing justifies what he did but you can see flashes of shame and sadness about what he was doing...but he killed Cordova, give that motherf***** the guillotine!!!
I felt really betrayed after Bode killed Cordova and revealed himself to be a coward Jedi
If a character has higher loyalties than the one they have to you… expect betrayal
Say Bode won and got what he wanted. He was gonna have his child grow up on a deserted planet, with no one else around but him? No chance to have an actual life, meet people, fall in love, have children of her own? Yeah no, bright future for her right there.
The game agrees with you. Kata is pretty depressed and lonely when you meet her on Tanalorr. And that was after only a couple days.
Funny thing about Jedi and family is they allow you to have one for cultural reasons: Ki Adi Mundi had one and he sat on the Council. They forbid strong attachment because it's a gateway to fear and control, like Bode or Anakin. Obi Wan had several people he loved, but he was able to let them go and make peace with their loss instead of fearing it
I think I knew he was going to betray them... but him being another Order 66 survivor was a bit of a "Oh god, not again." Sorta reaction
I wasn’t totally convinced that the “new guy bode” should have been trusted as much as we were trusting him and I thought after all the years cal would have put people through more trials to be trusted.
Honestly I had a feeling when you went to the lucrehulk core, but after he saved cals life I thought he wouldn't do it, so it hit even harder
Literally from the beginning I saw the betrayal coming
Granted, I thought Bode would betray Cal pretty early on, BUT there were several occasions where it would have also made sense and he didn't. So I got my hopes up again, only to be SUPER let down again 😂
I honestly thought he was going to die in the Dagan fight, while Cal was going to let his hate and anger take over. Which ironically happens directly after the betrayal. I knew things didn’t Bode well the closer they became
Bode had this one line when they were on the Lucrehulk. I'm paraphrasing but he said "When you play with me, the game is rigged from the start." My immediate reaction was "Oh, this guy is gonna betray me."
And here I was hoping that was just a Fallout New Vegas reference when I first heard that.
Playing a second playthrough is so frustrating with bode 😂 especially when he meets geez for the first time and geez says something like "whew, I thought you were an imperial spy"
Everytime I heard him call Cal "Brother" It made me think of my own brother and I really fell for his tricks. I was unfortunately spoiled on what happens so I knew it was coming but luckily I had no idea about who and what he really was so THAT reveal was insane!
I totally had a feeling, but I didn't know... But when Cordova... Man. No. That broke me. Then Vadar.. No one ever fights Vadar twice and gets to get away like that...
One of my fave scenes out of this is when it happens and your chasing him when you get to the end of the chase cal says why why bode we fought for that together and your just gonna hand it to the empire how cal said those lines especially the fought for that together and your just gonna hand it to the empire you could feel it in his voice
I knew he was bad immediately after he didnt say “may the force be with you” to cal not even an hour into the story lol
Bruh, I seen this coming at the start. When you pair up with Bode the first time theres a bit where you tell him what to do and he hits you with the "Stop reading my mind Jedi" in such a serious tone. Because you tell him what to do 2 times before and he replies normally.
Throughout the story, I thought Bode was alright. It was nice to have a surviving companion. After defeating Dagen, i raised an eyebrow in suspicion. When his betrayal happened, it was a bummer. When he force pushed us, my jaw hit the floor. That was exciting, cause i was wondering "how's this bounty hunter-like dude gonna beat a jedi?" Well that was quickly answered.
I wasn't entirely surprised about the betrayal... what sent me was that heis a JEDI SURVIVOR! omg it was so badaddsss
Tbh I saw this coming as soon as they were the only two to survive coruscant.
You're not going to believe me, but my brother and I knew it from the first scene with him, in Coruscant. The VA was SO obvious about the character they were portraying..
This cheeky MF. He had no excuse. NONE!
I accidentally had Bode's betrayal spolied for me from glancing at a post on reddit. BUT the fact he was a former Jedi still ABSOLUTELY got me. I never saw that coming, my jaw literally dropped when he force pushed Cal away
I hated how I told myself that he WILL be the plot twist but somehow midway I was like "Eh, maybe I was wrong" then BOOM, BETRAYAL happened
I immediately knew Bode was going to betray us since Coruscant. I mean how else was I supposed to take the line, "When you play with me, the game is rigged from the start"
After the betrayal and we finally had a bit of darkness oh boy I enjoyed the rush! I can’t wait for the same feeling for venom in Spider-Man 2
I saw bode as a character that would either die a hero or betray us like a villain.
Wasn’t expecting to be both AND him be a Jedi 😂😂😂😂😂
You can see through force echoes how he was going to betray you. Like we could see him talking to the imperial senator and him talking to himself about his plan.
Oof as soon as u saw him my breath hitched in a “ahh shit, here we go again”
The SECOND Bode didn't die to Dagan Gera I though "Hey! That's the biggest twist they could have done! The guy had so many red flags that him surviving is honestly pretty out of the left field!"
And then he stays behind at Jedah to "record a bedtime story for Kata" and I IMMEDIATELY knew what was coming. Fucking redshirt got me.
I started thinking something was up with Bode when he would casually get directly next to Dagan during fights. Dagan with a lightsaber and force abilities. And Bode just casually gets next to him to shoot at him? Uh huh.
The last time I wanted to throw hands real bad with someone after being betrayed was Micah/Dutch.
To be honest, the only reason I knew about his betrayal before it happened was because of these FREAKING thumbnails! But if it wasn’t for them then I honestly probably wouldn’t have expected it coming
From the beginning when everyone died beside Bode even though it was a good plan I knew Bode was a traitor. But I didn't expect him to be end boss
i knew bode was gonna betray everyone the moment i laid eyes on him, but at the same time i felt it was lazy for them to make cal not be able to sense his intentions
Didn’t really see it coming until he said he was going outside to record a lullaby for his daughter. It seemed pretty Sus and then five minutes later everything started exploding
As soon as he veered off with those imperial fighters on Corusant I knew he was sus
I knew something wasn’t right when the shield came between them when they are exploring the ship
Second play through all of his dialogue hits harder from “I heard Jedi avoid attachment “ to even some of the early dialogue on the starter planet (can’t spell coursant right apparently)
From the beginning I could tell bode was going to betray cal. The only thing I didn’t expect was him being a Jedi I was completely baffled
Bro I didn’t give a once of trust to bode since that shit on coruscant happened, just felt like he was an informant after that
When he said this i immediately got suspicious. The way he said it seemed off
As soon as Bode was introduced and was the only survivor from Coruscant I knew he was going to fuck me over. I did not how ever, predict the second part of his character twist.
“Real safety” he sounded so sarcastic lol
*Goes through door
BODE YOU TRAITOR
Bode definitely wasn’t planning on betraying Cal from the beginning, but kept it in his pocket as a plan B. I genuinely think that if Cal didn’t want to bring The Path along then Bode wouldn’t have betrayed him
