Cal Kestis' story makes me so emotional. He is more than just the unwilling hero. He's complex and there's big moments where you feel like you're wandering aimlessly when you play as him - but that's because he feels it too. And when he nearly drowned at Ilum, when he thought he failed... I sobbed for him because I knew he still had a lot of story to go, but only if he could find the strength to do it. It would have been easy for him to give up, to be at the end there, but he pushed through it all. Cal Kestis is a game character but he didn't feel like one - it felt like I was watching a friend find their purpose. It's an odd thing to say but playing as him and then watching his growth as a character made you feel closer to him, and he was so well written. This video highlights all of that.
Maybe this is overstating things, but I think Cal is one of if not my favorite Jedi. He's constantly put in challenging situations. He's confronted by people like Malicos and the sisters who know where he's coming from and attack his convictions. He has experienced great loss and some might suggest he has every right to give up, despair, and turn to the dark side. And yet, inspite of all this, he continues to be a beacon of hope. As a wise man once said, "A Jedi would never give up." -Mark Hamill
for me tapal's mentorship was so solid the key was "persistence was like key for him and failure is just part of the journey... then trust only in the force" he used to give up easy when things weren't going his way... cuz according to some jedis when he was a youngling he is kind of super talented basically a genius their words were "rarely struggled in training and showed promise with lightsaber but not suited for adversity and dealing with failure..." tapal may not be the most powerful jedimaster but he was the perfect master/mentor for him change him and made him better. we wouldn't have kestis without him.
Cal Kestis is one of my favorite jedi, he is constantly challenged from confronted, challenged by inquisitors, malics and even darth vader, he is my favorite jedi, he didn't give up even after the purge, even though he tried to forget the fact that he was a jedi, he cannot keep this secret, much less forget it... even if the empire wants to destroy the force, throw it into darkness, Cal Kestis, Obi-Wan and other Jedi don't give up, the Jedi fight for others , never by themselves... I'm being honest, I'm really looking forward to seeing the continuation of this game and seeing how Cal has matured.
Wow! This was such an epic and emotional tribute for Cal Kestis. I'm so hyped to continue his story when "Star Wars Jedi: Survivor" releases next year.
4:56 - 5:52 is my favorite part So many of us live their life in a indentity crisis, some not even realising it. This part shows that like Cal, overtime we can find our place in the galaxy and find out our life's purpose.
It’s a coincidence that Mark Hamill played Luke Skywalker in Star Wars and voiced Joker in both the DC Animated Universe and the Arkham Trilogy and Cameron Monaghan played both Jerome and Jeremiah Valeska in Gotham voiced Cal Kestis in Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order.
There so badly needs to be more content on Cal Kestis, and I'm not talking about the up-coming sequel game. He needs to be canonised in live-action media. Is there a single Star Wars fan amongst us who disagrees?
My god, I forgot the rollercoaster of emotions I felt playing this gem. Cal Kestis is such an underrated character and he deserves more love, hoping to see more of him in the future. Can't wait to see your future videos Crusade!
The ending was kind of disappointing they talk about rebuilding the Jedi Order throughout the whole damn game to make sure those kids don't get slaughtered and killed by the Empire but at the end they're like "Nah, let's just destroy this holocron and let their destiny be entrusted to the Force." well guess what they don't do shit in the future they all probably got slaughtered because of their choices and Luke had to take the heavy load why couldn't put it in a place where Luke can find it the whole journey was pointless I really hope the story for Jedi Survivor is not a waste of time.
@@andrewcabral963 you saw what happened if you were to rebuild the ordered though though I agree with you I believe he made the right decision he would have ended up becoming an inquisitor and all those kids being killed so in the end he made the right call
@@ShadowedSasuke But that was just a vision he had no idea was real or not it's like Yoda said the future is always in motion also Trilla is dead now so why should they worry they can find some place to train these younglings because if they didn't Vader will kill them just like he did years ago during Order 66 Cal basically doomed them all.
Very well put together, incredible work and music, and you hit all the points that make Cal who he is, someone that went into hiding and was lost, but then started to find his way back, to become one of the most compelling Jedi Knights that I have seen in ages after Disney took over. Incredible work.
So nice to see a Cal Kestis video, he's hands down my favorite Star Wars character. Respect for going through the trouble of getting the footage too, just all around perfect work bro!
One of my favorite Star Wars protagonists. My sister pointed out a very subtle trait the actor did, when his saber breaks, his voice changes back to being a scared kid. After making a new saber, he's back to the grown up and confident voice.
@@MegaKnight2012 Also when Vader says he would be wise to surrender, and Cal replies: “yeah, probably” his voice wobbles and cracks. Cameron Monaghan could have made it cocky but he turned it more realistic by making us remember that he’s still a scared kid, not even 18 yet, and battling against every Jedi’s worst nightmare alone, with nobody to help him. He most likely thought he’d die alone. But the words themselves showed a bravery and willingness to fight. I love it!
What if cal kestis is a chosen one as well he can use the light and dark side to his advantage since he uses his emotions as a indicator he is able to stay in balance of both dark and light side
I embraced the darkside and became a Sith Lord but then I turned away from that and chose the path of a Jedi my heart is Sith but I am a Jedi passion power strength discipline knowledge are the keys to being a Jedi …..and I will be a Jedi til the end “trust only in the force who ever reads this may the force be with you….always *ignites emerald green lightsaber*”
"You can kill me, but you will never destroy me. It takes strength to resist the dark side. Only the weak embrace it." "It is more powerful than you know." "And those who oppose it are more powerful than you'll ever be." -Obi-Wan & Maul
Played Fallen order a while back when it was released. Just finished Survivor 2 days ago and been wondering what next. Then I find this tribute in my recommendation and it legit made me tear up, it was perfect! I'm really hoping the rumours are true and Cal's arc will end up being a trilogy, because we definitely need more. Definitely gonna replay Fallen order now after watching your tribute. Awsome job!
this game is a top favorite for me. wish i didn’t see some of the spoilers. the game would have been all round better if the planet exploring wouldn’t have been as confusing at times.
This video just reignited a passion for star wars I have felt fading since the recent dismantling (in the most part) of star wars by Disney. This is what the Jedi was all about, this is the hope and passion star wars represented. Thank you buddy! Keep it up.
Thank you so much for this. This sparked something within me to create a miniseries on Cals Journey of healing his trauma because his story told me so much about myself. You really captured all the emotions I felt playing and experiencing this captivating story.
OMG this is so good! Once i heard the second song, just about teared up. You alone, made this into such an impactful story through this lense in the story! Well done
Love seeing a tribute for Cal! Would've been quite the challenge considering it's all video game content, but none the less you absolutely smashed it! Reminded me of the games brilliant storytelling and got me even more pumped for the new one! Great job man
Let me just say, this was absouluety incredible. If I were any executive or developer at Respawn Entertainment, I would hire you on the spot. Your ability to weave such a compelling summary of the game, is unmatched. Well done. You captured the game perfectly. I genuinely hope you get a job you want.
never played any of the games and know nothing about cal so searched on yt to try and find something out - this was the first video i clicked and by god is it amazing - it told me everything i needed to know - your making amazing things keep it up! - sending much love
I am awed by Cal but i wish merrin was in it just as much as cere and greeze was, I mean those 2 are survivors who knows the feeling of losing everything just wish we saw them together

I think Cal is one of the best written Jedi in star wars.
he's great but I liked Luke and Kanan from Rebels are pretty great too.
I wrote something with the Meta AI where he's 66 years old and fights Kylo Ren a year before Episode 7. Similar to Vader vs Ben Kenobi
Felt more emotion for Cal and his crew than the entirety of the sequel trilogy. This is the story we deserved.
Cal is more of an protagonist than Rey ever was. Also, Cal is red headed and Rey is not redheaded.
That already makes him a way better protagonist.
Agree, shame that we just see him and other character just in video game. The story of the game is really good than sequel trilogy.
Goddamn y'all bums can't live a second without thinking about it
Anyone else think cal reminds them of Ian From shameless??? Don't get me wrong he's a very cool awesome character
@@anannonymouscoverartist They're both played by Cameron Monaghan the actor. They based Cal's look on how he looks irl.
This game is an underrated gem
Bro it tops the best selling games almost every month. In now way is it a hidden gem lmao.
If jedi survivor is made in unreal engine 5 it will be even better
@@rover5058 Given that the Fallen Order was made on UE4, there is a big chans that your wish will come true!
It's written by the same guy who wrote Fallout NV
@@magicoddball1452 as someone who played New Vegas I can attest

He reminds me of Star Wars’ Peter Parker honestly, similar reasons to why I love both characters
He’s my absolute favorite!

He’s tied as my favourite jedi along with Ezra
Cal reminds me of me
“Hope will always survive in those who continue to fight.Failure isn’t the end my friend,it is the necessary part of the path.”
Finally someone makes a tribute for Cal Kestis
I really hope we get to see Cal Kestis in live action
Cal Kestis is one of my favorite jedi, he is constantly challenged from confronted, challenged by inquisitors, malics and even darth vader, he is my favorite jedi, he didn't give up even after the purge, even though he tried to forget the fact that he was a jedi, he cannot keep this secret, much less forget it... even if the empire wants to destroy the force, throw it into darkness, Cal Kestis, Obi-Wan and other Jedi don't give up, the Jedi fight for others , never by themselves...

Except for Luke who runs away and leaves Han to die and Leia alone.
I don't care what others say. Your favorite character can be obi-wan, or Luke, or Ben solo. Mine will always be Cal Kestis.
or Ezra Bridger
Wow! This was such an epic and emotional tribute for Cal Kestis. I'm so hyped to continue his story when "Star Wars Jedi: Survivor" releases next year.

Maaan this gave me goosebumps
he earned his place in the cannon in my book.
It’s a coincidence that Mark Hamill played Luke Skywalker in Star Wars and voiced Joker in both the DC Animated Universe and the Arkham Trilogy and Cameron Monaghan played both Jerome and Jeremiah Valeska in Gotham voiced Cal Kestis in Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order.
In the whole game cal find and protect the list.but when he destroyed it,he became the real Master.
Im shocked by the End,but this is perfect.
Cyclops & Dr. Strange as Cal Kestis & Ezra Bridger.
There so badly needs to be more content on Cal Kestis, and I'm not talking about the up-coming sequel game. He needs to be canonised in live-action media. Is there a single Star Wars fan amongst us who disagrees?
A true fun Jedi experience now I'm ready to become the new Jedi of the Galaxy.

Wow this Cal Kestis Tribute is so very Spectacular!!!
Thank you so much!
Cal is one of my favorite jedi I feel he’s also a great example of the Jedi order
I literally cannot wait for an update to this with Jedi survivor footage. Like I love love love this video so much.
Thank you so much!
@@crusade5886 are you going to do a survivor update
I hope one day we get to see cal in live action definitely would be a great site to see
Fantastic tribute for Cal! He’s a true survivor ❤
Can’t wait for the sequel.
6:53 gave me goosebumps. Well done.

Jedi survivor ina month and a half

Fallen order was such a awesome game
I like how the Outfit changed on the Final level to Symbolize Jedi Robes.

A ginger Jedi. As a ginger myself I had to play the game and loved it. Just as I love your video!
Thank you so much!
I so can't wait to play as Cal again in the Jedi fallen order sequel "Star Wars, Jedi Survivor".
I embraced the darkside and became a Sith Lord but then I turned away from that and chose the path of a Jedi my heart is Sith but I am a Jedi passion power strength discipline knowledge are the keys to being a Jedi …..and I will be a Jedi til the end “trust only in the force who ever reads this may the force be with you….always *ignites emerald green lightsaber*”
Cal Kestis my favorit Jedi
Beautiful work! well done!
Cal's journey in jfo was truly special and this tribute really did it justice. Love your work.
"You can kill me, but you will never destroy me. It takes strength to resist the dark side. Only the weak embrace it."
"It is more powerful than you know."
"And those who oppose it are more powerful than you'll ever be."

His story was so great
You did an amazing job seamlessly blending in all the elements that make Cal’s story a deeply emotional one. Beautiful video.

Literally better than just about anything else Disney has pumped out lately
I just know I’ll rewatch this whenever I feel emotional about this game

fallen order is a jewel in an ocean of incompetence
I really hope cal has his own series
You should do an updated video that includes Jedi: Survivor! I feel like Cal as a character has only gotten more complex
ive been on a huge star wars youtube binge lately and this makes me want to play the game very badly
Amazing tribute! It gave me chills. You showed off what makes Cal Kestis a great character
Thank you so much!
@@crusade5886 ofc
2:52 Petrichor - J.T. Peterson 😭
I would’ve screamed if this was after the credits. Amazing. ❤️
I am genuinely crying right now geez this is incredible work also CAL my SON ;_____;
You never see tributes on cal Kestis, I love that u switched up the “tribute” game with this one
Games story was better than anything Disney spewed out
Thank you so much for this. This sparked something within me to create a miniseries on Cals Journey of healing his trauma because his story told me so much about myself.

We need live action cal Kestis
YESS

Thank you so much!
Its also used for a The Last of Us Tribute Video which makes even sadder now. Because Ellie and Cal a through so much since childhood
I Love this game.
