Summary
Respawn Entertainment made a splash withStar Wars Jedi: Fallen Orderand further built on the success withStar Wars Jedi: Survivor. These games are what many fans ofStar Warshave been craving since games likeStar Wars: Knights of the Old Republic. It was a pleasant surprise to many when the creator ofTitanfallsuccessfully crafted an amazing story forStar Wars Jedi: Fallen Order, which in turn gave high hopes forStar WarsJedi: Survivor.
By the end ofJedi: Survivor, Cal and his friends have gone through many terrible things, and Cal personally starts to struggle with such tragedy. He had been betrayed by the man he called a brother, and he lost two of his mentors in one day. WhenJedi: Survivor’ssequel makes its appearance, it will likely further explore the story that its predecessor has laid out for it.
5 Obvious Directions For The Story of Jedi: Survivor’s Sequel
Cal’s Struggle With The Dark Side
What started out as hints of anger, and flashbacks to his time in the Clone Wars, Cal’s subtle struggle with the dark side has bloomed inJedi: Survivor. In the last act ofJedi: Survivor, Cal has unlocked new abilities which align with the dark side. With Cal going through so much and losing so many people that he cares for throughoutJedi: Fallen OrderandJedi: Survivor, it would make perfect sense for the sequel to continue exploring his struggle with the dark side. Perhaps there could even be a possibility of adark side ending for Cal.
Guiding Kata Akuna and Her Potential Connection To The Force
In the latter half ofJedi: Survivor, it is revealed that Cal’s friend-turned-traitor, Bode Akuna, has a daughter named Kata Akuna. With the game ending with Kata joining the Mantis crew, it seems very likely that Cal will guide Kata through her childhood, and likely train her in the ways of the Force. Since Bode Akuna was a Jedi during the Clone Wars, it would be no surprise thatKata will have inherited her father’s Force sensitivity.
Cal and Merrin’s Romance
Cal and Merrin met on Dathomir inJedi: Fallen Order, and ever since she joined the Mantis crew, there have been hints of a potential romance between the two of them. BetweenJedi: Fallen OrderandJedi: Survivor, Merrin had decided to leave the Mantis and explore the galaxy. After the pair are reunited inJedi: Survivor, their romance starts to bloom, and they later share a kiss while overlooking the plains of Jedha.Jedi: Survivor’sbudding romanceshouldn’t be a fling, since it has been growing from the moment they first met on Dathomir, and it should have a part to play inJedi: Survivor’ssequel.
Tanalorr and the Hidden Path
The main objective Cal had set himself inJedi: Survivorwas to find Tanalorr and turn it into a haven for the Hidden Path. Once Cal found Tanalorr, the Hidden Path started preparing to move to the mysterious planet when things took an ugly turn, and the Empire stopped them and destroyed their base. Sincethe Hidden Path has appeared inObi-Wan Kenobi, which is set around the time ofJedi: Survivor, it is likely that Cal will seek out the remainder of the Hidden Path and lead them to Tanalorr. The next game could make use of a time skip, allowing the story to start after the Hidden Path has settled on Tanalorr.
A Threat to Tanalorr
With danger always looming over Cal, it would be no surprise that the antagonist ofJedi: Survivor’ssequel will want to do something nefarious to Tanalorr. Maybe the Empire discovers the hidden planet and sends out new Inquisitors to eliminate the Hidden Path and capture Cal and Kata. PerhapsStar Wars’Saw Gerrerafinds out that Cal abandoned him and decides that Tanalorr should be a base for his rebels, and causes a conflict between himself and Cal. Fans who have watched the animated shows know all too well how extreme Saw Gerrera can be. The expectations are certainly high for the sequel ofStar Wars Jedi: Survivorand its story will have a lot to wrap up, from Cal’s struggles with the dark side to guiding Kata Akuna and much more.
