Star Wars Jedi: Survivor is an action-adventure game developed by Respawn Entertainment and published by Electronic Arts. A sequel to Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order (2019), it was released on PlayStation 5, Windows, and Xbox Series X/S on April 28, 2023.[1] The game received generally favorable reviews.
Star Wars Jedi: Survivor maintains many of the gameplay mechanics from its predecessor with new elements. In lightsaber combat, there are five "fully realized" stances in the game that Cal Kestis can use. The single blade and double blade lightsaber stances return from Fallen Order, while the special dual-wield single blade attack is expanded into its own fully playable lightsaber stance; the dual-wield stance was intended to be a fully playable stance in Fallen Order but Respawn did not have enough time to finish it before release so it was changed to be a special attack. A new, heavier Kylo Ren-style[clarification needed] crossguard lightsaber stance is added that requires more confidence[clarification needed] to use due to longer timing windows in blocking and parrying enemy attacks. The second new stance is the blaster stance which allows the player to use a lightsaber and blaster combo for both close and ranged attacks. These different stances are designed to be used to combat specific types of enemies which Asmussen says will make the player "figure out what the best weapon of choice is".A new Force stasis ability, similar to the one used by Kylo Ren in The Force Awakens, allows the player to freeze enemies and blaster bolts in mid-air.Level designThe level design of Jedi: Survivor features larger, more expansive maps populated with more non-player characters. The design of planets like Koboh have been made more open and expansive compared to Fallen Order. Lead level designer Martin Badowsky said that Respawn wanted Koboh to feature a dense central area with more open outskirts areas as the player explores outwards. In addition, the Mantis landing pads have been moved to a more central location on planets to provide easier access to the various regions on the planet.The planet Koboh has been described as a "home away from home" that the player will revisit throughout the game, and with each revisit, new pathways will open up. Design director Jeff Magers said that "By exploring the worlds, players will both make Cal more their own through customization" and many of the optional areas contain skills, upgrades and perks that will make Cal "more powerful and equipped to take on the challenges ahead". By comparison, revisiting planets like Bogano in Fallen Order was done primarily in service of progressing the plot rather than for encouraging exploration. Exploration is made easier in Survivor with the addition of fast travel at meditation points where the player can be quickly transported to another meditation point on the planet that they have already discovered. However, Respawn wanted to ensure that using fast travel was not necessary to ordinarily traverse the environment or to complete the story. Scattered throughout planets are Jedi Chamber Trials for the player to discover which have been compared to the Shrines from The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. Jedi Chamber Trials feature puzzles and challenges for the player to complete which provide rewards such as skill points for the player to upgrade their skill tree.
Player cosmetic customization options have been greatly expanded in Survivor over the limited ponchos options in Fallen Order. Survivor allows the player to customize Cal's appearance with entire changes to his outfits. Cal's hairstyles and facial hair are also customizable cosmetic items.

Let’s also not forget that Cal is very much the kind of Jedi Starkiller was trained to take down.
-
Putting Cal in Galen's crosshairs is a cruel move.
-
The only thing asked when matching up Starkiller vs. Cal is "how long can Cal live before he finds a way to escape?" Because that's the only outcome aside from his death.
-
I love Cal, he's now in my top 3 Jedi, which is why after this fight I'll be there to help plan the funeral.
-
Not once in either Fallen Order or Jedi Survivor have I ever felt as POWERFUL as I did when playing as Starkiller.
-
Cal utilzies the Force like a tool and a performance enhancer. Galen Marek UNLEASHES the Force.
-
Can we all just admit they should make a new Starkiller game?
-
Let’s put this in perspective, Cal struggles to fight one rancor that they treat it like this big boss encounter, Galen on the other hand fought rancors casually like common grunts. They’re incomparable
-
Starkiller: pulls down star destroyer Cal: understandable, have a nice day
-
I love Cal and Jedi Survivor really made him into one of my favorite characters in the new canon but even high balling him he isn’t scaling to Galen
-
One thing I don't understand about the star destroyer getting pulled down feat. Everyone just takes into account. The weight and size of the craft and not the fact that its engines are also actively working to keep it up directly contesting against his power as well, he pulled that weight and overpowered the ship's engines.
-
As much as ive grown to absolutely LOVE Cal, in Starkillers crosshairs, he's getting both scrambled like an egg and folded like an omelete simultaneously.
-
God damn I miss Starkiller. I love Cal, but it's so limiting being on the light side. Starkiller's force abilities were WAYYYY more fun to use. Not just the lightning and force choke. Starkiller could throw a tie-fighter and pull down a star destroyer. Cal can barely lift regular combatants.
-
Even with removing Starkiller's overpowered force abilities (lets just go with nerfing them to more standard power levels), he'd still have a high advantage against Cal due to their respective training. Cal never got to complete his Padawan training because of Order 66 and the death of his Jedi Master, whereas Galen was trained for most of his life by Vader under some very harsh Sith training methods (even having PROXY frequently attack him with the combat profiles of several Jedi Masters). While Cal did manage to adapt to the times and grew to become a seasoned survivor, Starkiller was forged into a lethal weapon from day 1 and not even turning towards the Light Side kept Galen from his destructive potential.
-
I love how the title is “Who wins?” but the thumbnail is “Can Cal Survive?”
-
Putting starkiller and cal in the same room would be like that time mike tyson shouts at the reporter
-
Starkiller beats Cal 10/10 times, no contest. Agreed on your points of legends vs canon. Great video!
-
I love how the thumbnail says "Will Cal survive" my first thoughts too. There's a reason star killer hasn't been brought into the Canon. If he was, he could solve all the problems in the galaxy before they even popped off. And thats him as what I'd assume, is a night. Can you imagine GRAND MASTER Star killer? Dude would be throwing battle cruisers left and right
-
The gameplay mechanics speaks for itself, as StarKiller is mostly used to take out entire ARMIES by himself with ease, along with the strongest of individual force users. While Cal is used to take out small groups or to only get by strong force users until he becomes just strong enough to rival them. But even with Cal’s versatility, his feats don’t even come close to StarKillers, on and off screen.
-
The starkiller in force unleashed 2 was heavily implied to be the actual starkiller. The novels practically even say he's not a clone. The darkside ending wasn't canon as they planned a 3rd game about the lighside ending where they would comfirm he wasn't a clone. Also it's also implied Vader was trying to convince him he was a clone to better control him and break his will. There's a lot of stuff that basically implies he's not a clone. Other than that great video!
