I really like that Merrin is the one to pull him back to the light, kinda goes to show that the Council was wrong about how they viewed having emotions and relationships. If not for his love for Merrin, Cal could’ve very easily gone down the path of the dark side.
not exactly, sure this is an instance of relationships helping, but it was a jedi's absolute responsibility to maintain vigilance against things that led to the dark side, such as romantic attachments, the fear of which could lead a jedi to seeking the dark side to artificially prolong their life (i.e anakin). cal allowed his emotions to dictate his use of the force (dark side) because of the death of his family, imagine what would happen if the same happened to merrin. it's completely natural for a person to grieve, the jedi encouraged its members to deal with these emotions, as they're completely natural, what they were strictly against was the temptation to allow such emotions to dictate their usage of the force, which was extremely easy with close friendships let alone romantic relationships
@@randomt800kiddo2For some reason people just assume that those rules were bad, yet they were all correct tbh. Anakin is a prime example of what you could get if you don't follow those rules. Those rules stuck around since the high republic, and the jedi of those times were great and followed those same rules
@@randomt800kiddo2 Yea, the council was right all along by not letting Anakin into the order. He literally proved they were in the right about everything regarding how the dealt with him. They didn't trust him and they were right not to, because in the end he chose himself instead of the people who took him in, raised him and cared for him. What made the council weak in that era is that they were too heavily involved in politics and were too aligned with the republic allowing them to be corrupted from within
@@G_Singh222 Padme wasn't there when Anakin severed Window's arm, at the latest after that she would have had the last chance to talk to him. The difference isn't Anakin and Cal, it's Merrin and Padme. Both Anakin and Cal want to protect the woman they love and never lose them. Cal and Merrin have both experienced almost the same pain. But Padme never knew how Anakin felt after his mother died.
well from a certain point of view, comparing merrin to padme is nonsense. merrin is orphan, strong warrior and mastered the force's rare powers like dathomir magic. merrin used to hate jedi, she was manipulated by taron malicos. she was a broken person with fullfilled by hate. padme lived literally dream life if you don't count her last weeks. she could never understand a jedi's facing to the darkside.
because anakin saw obi-wan on the ship, and in his enraged, irrational state believed padme betrayed him. anakin started on the path of the dark side because of palpatine's false promises of saving padme, but eventually became consumed by his "lust for power". cal on the other hand was barely on that road, and hadn't slaughtered an entire temple of innocent jedi and younglings
Fun fact: Force Slow (in legends at least) is a dark side ability only useable by Sith. If I recall correctly, I believe it was shown to us through Kotor 1 and 2. Fun fact #2: Every time Cal used it in Fallen Order during a cutscene, you could visibly see anger and fear during said uses, specifically during the opening section and Order 66 scenes. Now look at this section: not only is Force Slow massively improved, but its only this powerful when Cal is super pissed. It took a couple years, but the foreshadowing and payoff from Fallen Order to Fallen Survivor is worth it in my opinion.
in Canon is called force stasis, originally shown by Vader himself in ESB, later also shown by Yoda in the Clone Wars movie and a couple times in the sequels It doesn't specifically require the dark side to be used, but it does seem to amplify its power, like Force judgment vs Force Lightning
i suppose it's similar to the lightsaber form of juyo, a jedi needs a great amount of discipline as those abilities are extremely dark side adjacent and without control can lead to the user tapping into the dark side
Chris Avellone (writer of kotor 2) was involved with the writing of Fallen Order, though I don't know if he was involved with Survivor. It wouldn't surprise me if he was responsible for that bit of blink and missit detail, haha.
Most people dont actually know how many things change in darkness cal gameplay: -Force lifting opponents will kill -Force attack will throw the lightsaber in a circle -You can force pull and stab purge troopers -You can force pull and crush security droids -finally, using a yellow lightsaber in darkness mode makes it look Red
@@adonisgeovanni5430 What was Luke going to do? Kindly ask all non-combatants to quickly exit the giant world destroying war machine so he could blow it up?
16:53 She admits that she loves him And she started to have feelings for him in Jedi Fallen Order and now she's openly shared her feelings to him in Jedi Survivor An old saying was "Love comes in all forms and works in wondeful ways" Thats so true
He didn't embrace his darkness. He embraced his freakin' inner Jack The Reaper! Edit: if you'll look closely on the "Ripper mode" moveset, you'll actually see it's Cere's moves. So Cal does all of this to avenge her, to honor her, even if it gets wrong.
This is very similar to Ghost Stance in Ghost of Tsushima. Though I do wish Cal will learn Vaapad since it is a form that uses the dark side but never submit to it.
I don't know but I wish we have a choice to choose dark side.Yeah of course use dark side power is no better than sith according to old nonsense jedi tradition but come on if we have force sensitive,we use dark side force for "research purpose".
@@johnlanderglea6120 he and his padawan. A girl. And before them another jedi master used it, but fell to the Dark side. Thats when jedi were forbidden of using it. Technicaly Cal is no pure jedi, he's more like a sentinel. He can choose his own way.
1:15 that voice sounded lots like lieutenant lyst (spelling?) from rebels, specifically the imp officer from season 2 episode w Princess Leia, or the one accused of being a rebel spy in season 3
You know if Anakin had someone like Merrin by his side, he'd never have become Darth Vader. Instead, he got stuck with Padme, who was either content with quietly being on the sidelines or passively denying that Ani had a problem only deciding to intervene when it was too late and Ani was already completely under Palpatines' control.
@@danielgeronimo5538 Yeah, Anakin just witnessed the most traumatic moment of his life and murdered an entire settlement of Tusken Raiders in response and she barely responded.
9:07 Wait, so Cal Kestis has John-117 reflexes now? From the POV of the stormtroopers which were "normal soldiers", it took like 2 secs, while for Cal, it took about 13 secs! So does Cal secretly has 6.5 times the speed and reaction time of a normal human being, but only chooses to do that rarely? If this is true, which I hope it is (It's probably not), then Cal killed like 13 men in 2 seconds!
One of the troopers shouts "I can't move!" so it seems to be akin to how Cal would slow things down with the force in Fallen Order but now as an AoE kinda thing, and not so much him moving mega fast.
@@Jeda_Tragumee well, there will be a 3rd one it seems, apparently they said they're going for a trilogy, your wish may very well be granted come the next one hahaha
At first I even thought his lightsaber went red during this, which woulda been a sick detail since you normally cant have a red lightsaber and it would literally just be in his perception (aka seeing red)
I’m actually glad that this actually have, because the most important parts of the game build up to this moment, and it just shows Cal’s character development
There's one super cool move in the whole kit, that works on the Security Droids essentially when you force pull them you can press x or something else on another device to crumble them up like a piece of paper. Also the super buffed force float thing and force slam.
Best part of the game for me-proving the whole ethos of the Dark Side-the more you use it the easier it gets to fall to it, it's so much more appealing and easy-in the game it makes everything so much easier, satisfying and destructive-you find yourself using it more and more
Btw, did anyone else notice how limbs went literally flying when cal used the dark side and all that? and everyone says we’re never gonna get it w Disney in charge, even when it wasn’t there wasn’t much of it outside of droids, looking at you force unleashed 1!
I love the use of the dark side in this game and how it fits yoda’s description of it being “easier and more seductive”. When cal is pushed over the edge he forgets his training and embraces the dark side and instead of being punished he(and by extension us) are rewarded. Its as easy as clicking two buttons when fights get hard, we resort to tactics Cal’s master would frown upon and it feels good. The ability to wipe out a platoon of DT droids and all obstacles in our path and cal is so over the edge that he was close to losing himself until Merrin pulled him back into the light. This game for me gives a great way to explore the dark side, its powerful for sure but Cal nearly loses his soul to it. This whole game puts cal in a complicated spot for the next installment, he’s still got a good heart but now its been tainted and he’s at possible risk of further going down the path of anger and hate especially without Cere there to guide him.
Kinda like in Attack of the Clones, when the spirit of Qui-Gon Jinn tried to stop Anakin from murdering the Tusken Raiders that kidnapped and killed his mother.
OMG!!!!!! I was worried that vision from the first game when he turned was coming true, but I am still praying it's not. CAL PLEASE FIGHT THISSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THE DARK SIDE IS PURE HATRED YOU CAN'T LET IT TAKE CONTROL BTW I KNEW BODE COULDN'T BE TRUSTED!!!!!
I feel that Cal is the Kyle Katarn of this variation. Kyle uses both light side and Darkside abilities. There is even clothing Cosmetics to wear Kyle's outfit.
Bode is just doing what any Dad would do. Putting his family first no matter what cause or how many people. Not even a billion people are worth the sacrifice of your own family.
"I won't kill you... but I don't have to save you." "From Vader? Hypocrite." "We all are hypocrites, but some of us try to be better about it, unlike you... or your master."
What’s crazy though is that Cal isn’t well in my eyes anyway bad for falling a little from the light and tapping into darker emotions the dark side doesn’t just use anger it’s fear suffering and pain that allows it to flow, while he is angry he’s also in pain. Which is what we see here. This is why the Jedi fell the strict code does not allow them such emotions or attachments. There is NOTHING wrong with fighting for people you love or want to protect. Cal is a good Jedi. In the old days way before the old republic the Jedi studied both light and dark sides of the force, And if at one point one became to enthralled with the dark they were sent to a moon that allowed them to bask in the light side and regain balance. Balance is key I believe. This is what legends Luke taught his Jedi order and he didn’t believe that shunning the dark side completely and allowed students to explore it with caution and if you fell you deserved a shot at redemption (circumstantial).
Cal is human, and humans (or any sentient race in this universe for that matter) is ever really perfect. We have both the light and dark inside of us. I love this universe and franchise with all my heart, but refusing to acknowledge these nuances has led to a lot of narrative problems and makes the idea of either Sith or Jedi feel pointless. I'm very happy that they acknowledge the idea that while it is good to maintain yourself in the light, time to time we would also have to fall into extreme form of emotions, like fear, pain, or even grief. It is what made Jedi legends like Qui-gonn and Obi-wan a cut above the rest, among others. They all did what was necessary, and never the extreme. Cal at this point, would have made a fine Jedi Master.
@@mohabalserafe3795 If u run up on a stormtrooper and shove a lightsaber through his back in the game, is that defending urself? Lmao just pointin out the light/dark binary is kinda weird
Is it bad to say i sort of sympathize with bode? Im not saying i fully agree with what hes done(betraying cal, killing cordova, all that stuff) but i do get his reasoning. Trying to keep his daughter safe, but he still kinda pisses me off with what hes done.
Cal would not have last 5 mins impersonating an imperial officer with that nasty ass beard. If you are in or were in the military you guys already know.
because first crossguard lightsaber was kylo ren's in movies. crossguard is one of your option in your game for lightsaber style. you hit heavy attacks but it makes you so slow.

What’s crazy though is that Cal isn’t well in my eyes anyway bad for falling a little from the light and tapping into darker emotions the dark side doesn’t just use anger it’s fear suffering and pain that allows it to flow, while he is angry he’s also in pain. Which is what we see here. This is why the Jedi fell the strict code does not allow them such emotions or attachments. There is NOTHING wrong with fighting for people you love or want to protect. Cal is a good Jedi. In the old days way before the old republic the Jedi studied both light and dark sides of the force,
And if at one point one became to enthralled with the dark they were sent to a moon that allowed them to bask in the light side and regain balance. Balance is key I believe.
This is what legends Luke taught his Jedi order and he didn’t believe that shunning the dark side completely and allowed students to explore it with caution and if you fell you deserved a shot at redemption (circumstantial).
Cal is human, and humans (or any sentient race in this universe for that matter) is ever really perfect. We have both the light and dark inside of us. I love this universe and franchise with all my heart, but refusing to acknowledge these nuances has led to a lot of narrative problems and makes the idea of either Sith or Jedi feel pointless.
I'm very happy that they acknowledge the idea that while it is good to maintain yourself in the light, time to time we would also have to fall into extreme form of emotions, like fear, pain, or even grief. It is what made Jedi legends like Qui-gonn and Obi-wan a cut above the rest, among others. They all did what was necessary, and never the extreme.
Cal at this point, would have made a fine Jedi Master.
Nice touch for the ISB to have British accents, it's really what sets them apart form the rest of the Empire
I can hear Liam's voice in the officers
He has so many roles. jesus christ
You can slaughter thousands of storm troopers but cause revenge bad you can’t kill an unarmed imperial 😂
16:20 No damn you and your precious empire
Can we now assume Cal as a Grey Jedi?
Nah, he is just having a bad moment like Ezra Bridger.
He’s deviating from the jedi path by getting in a relationship with Merrin and occasionally tapping into the dark side, but he’s not quite there yet
the concept of "Grey Jedi" doesn't work
@@joaofranscisco7817 How?
Is the guy with the kid Charles from RD2?
pretty sure
Can we keep this outfit or no
this is proof that the dark side is stronger than the light ngl
He really massacred dem boyz
Hey do we keep the imperial guys outfit? If so then how?
You are gonna want to install infinite rage cheat code so you'll be able to use the darkside as much as you want.
Cool Bode’s VA voices Charles from red dead 2
NO PLEASE DON'T TURN
Good release your anger Cal
This is like that Splinter Cell Conviction scene.
Wait so its ok for him to kill 200 stormtroopers but not that one guy? lol
Its self defense while Cal is choosing to kill that guy out of anger
@xen Tru but if we talkin bout levels of evil he’s definitely worse lol
@@David-nq8cv Yea its just funny Cal can kill soldiers 1,000 different ways in the game, shootin at him or not, but draws the line here lol
@@adonisgeovanni5430 because he is defending himself
@@mohabalserafe3795 If u run up on a stormtrooper and shove a lightsaber through his back in the game, is that defending urself? Lmao just pointin out the light/dark binary is kinda weird
Hi mandem did say he feared losing himself
Edit: but my lord has he gone berserk
This game looks so awesome. Can't wait to play it! ❤
Gooooooood let the hate flow young kestis
Biggest let down ever was that this ability is not in NG+. Seriously you only use dark side powers for 10% of this game. Sigh...I miss KOTOR...
Katana laser sword😮
Will it's called a lightsaber for a reason
No matter who threatens them they’d rather die right then and there rather then facing vader
Is it bad to say i sort of sympathize with bode? Im not saying i fully agree with what hes done(betraying cal, killing cordova, all that stuff) but i do get his reasoning. Trying to keep his daughter safe, but he still kinda pisses me off with what hes done.
Understandable reasons, but it doesn’t make his actions any less treacherous.
Yessssssssssssss Let the hate flow through your veins
Yeah? Are cal and merrin slappin cheeks now?
So no Jedi mind trick use? Or
I would embrace the dark side too maybe
Will prepare to lose all Senses of reason after that
Cal would not have last 5 mins impersonating an imperial officer with that nasty ass beard.
If you are in or were in the military you guys already know.
Getting some Andor vibes from this place
I kind of get it with Bode. He wanted to keep his little girl safe.
Why that choke and that lightsaber remind me of Kylo Ren
because first crossguard lightsaber was kylo ren's in movies. crossguard is one of your option in your game for lightsaber style. you hit heavy attacks but it makes you so slow.
16:57 😆
BD-1 : wtf
