I would bet good money though this is going to come down to Cal vs Vader. He has been in it too much and impacted him too much.

I think there will be a battle, but I think what it's going to come down to more is Cal vs Cal. I think that is every Jedi's greatest foe. Because Vader wins if that's the case and Cal may as well never had existed. He needs to be out there, alive and possibly acting as a savior to this franchise.

And with that, a lot can be put onscreen in video game format. As far as Merrin dying, I can see it..but Cal has lost many already. Maybe if his darkside pushes her away, or etc. She's an interesting character that benefits Cal's story and this overall story.

A jedi actually finding and keeping love would be a good story. Cal can succeed where Anakin failed. He seems to be a better person.

I'd save something big for the 3rd game too,.. I'm talking Mace Windu lives to help finish Cal's growth type level of reveal.

I hope youre right that he has secretly been acting in the best interest of Jedi in the shadows. That would be cool.

If Maul can survive what he survived, then I believe Mace could have too.

He had that going for him, he was presumed dead by the time of order 66. If he was smart, and I believe he was.. he would've done the same thing as Yoda.

Eta

And he probably knows Vader's identity. Imagine the shite Cal would be in if he tried that shite with Vader in battle like with the 9th sister..


..If he called him Anakin during a fight lol

I’d rather their duel end in 2 ways

1. Cal is ultimately bested out barely but holds out far longer than Cere and more or less allows everyone else to get to safety or have as best chance as possible. I’d have him forgo dark side in this fight assuming it’s the climax and he can die knowing he won his fight against it.

2. Battle to a stale mate Cal escapes with who he can and an epilogue tells us he gave up the fight ultimately deciding it was futile and fruitless and is living life peacefully with Merrin or another love interest if she is dead.

I’d be shocked if Disney lets them kill him though. He’s 100% live action bound when this is over

I believe Maul is also alive for another 7 years if he dies in year 3BBY or 2BBY. Would've been cool to get some underworld encounters. Maybe in the 3rd game..

I don't see Cal ever besting Vader, and I don't want the character to die..mainly nowadays being everyone I like in Star wars has to be randomly off'd, or their character ruined.

I think he's ready for live action now. Like if the Kenobi series was coming out this year instead, I'd like for his name to have been mentioned or share a scene when Obi-Wan was learning of their "underground railroad" system..would have been cool to hear about a jedi named "Kestis" being heavily involved with helping people escape the Empire to a place out of reach.

His mentioning I’d be fine with but as a lead character Disney will butcher him. The games have been a woke feminist intersectional no go free zone. It’s part of what makes them remarkably refreshing. I want no part of Disney having ultimate creative control of this off shoot of Star Wars

Oh I agree, Cal would end up dying with Merrin and her new girlfriend taking the lead.

Apparently the question was put to her at Canne she replied with something amounting to "Ah I keep seeing this! And I love it! OFC we dont want to conflict with what respawn and EA have planned and we are focusing on moving to the high republic era in the next few years for tv. But, yes, If it is right and makes sense I believe there is a definite place for him in that framework."

The absolute most bullshite thing put into this game. The Rancors can much easier be perfect dodged but those things man. Whatre you playing on Jedi Master? I can tell you how i ended up doing on master and grandsmaster after about 70 odd deaths if you want. Either way youll need a dash of luck either using my method or any other. It seems they didnt properly tune them to attack in turns or proportional to one another.

Whatever the second hardest is….Jedi Master I think.

I’ve got the strategy to beat them when combined with luck. I just tend to lose focus for a split second when I’m having a good run (sometimes right as I’m getting ready to kill the first frog). It’s always the tongue….I’ve never come close to using all my stims

What weapons/stances are you using and btw idk if you know this but the skill (can’t remember it’s name) where you hold down 0 using force to dodge all attacks works on unblockabkes including the tongue. I used all my force using only that till I got the first one down

Went back in to the game late last week to finish up some stuff for Platinum on PS5 and now the bounty hunter cun+ won't talk to me anymore. I'm at 11/16 bounties and she won't give me any more location clues. Went to an online guide to find the locations of those bounties and they won't appear when I go to those spots. After some digging it appears this is a bug affecting a lot of folks.

Oh well, on to Tears of the Kingdom until this gets fixed.

Just random thoughts on the game as I just finished the main story. Pretty solid game. Feels like you get all of the variety of baddies thrown at you pretty soon, then you don't really get a whole lot of variety after that.

I wish you didn't really have to slaughter so many animals as you wander around. Kind of contradicts the good guy vibes.

I liked how you start off powerful and you just get more powerful as the game goes on. Making groups of stormtroopers float and then sending them flying is really entertaining.

As with most games, the side stuff is pretty meh. The final battle was ok, but I thought the move where he ran at you and put the explosive on your body was insanely annoying. I had a hard as hell time evading that move.

I just finished the main story, as well. Agree on Bode’s unblockable move where he puts the explosive on you. I couldn’t dodge it. Also had a power surge about 3/4 of the way through the battle so I had to do the entire thing over.

I really enjoyed the game, probably more than the first one. The other two bosses that were awful to beat were the Mire Terror and Spawn of Oggdo. Both pissed me off. Enjoyed the story, though I wish we could’ve seen more of Tanalorr. I guess they’re saving that for the next game.

I just wish I had more to do after I’ve beat the story. I’ve found every chest in the game and have 100% explored on every planet minus one that’s around 98% explored. Done all the rifts/tears etc etc. only thing I’m missing are a few scans with BD and finding every seed (yawn).

New game + is cool and all but that would be another absolute grind to just get the double jump abilities and what not.

I just find myself running around Koboh 99% of the time on my first play through just wishing there was something more to find or explore.
