Padawan Cal Kestis | Jedi Fallen Order

Hello there! Could you perhaps do an alt angle gifset of the scene where Cal kisses Merrin after the successful hyperjump? 😄 I loved how the second kiss looked from the different angle 🥹

So I can't always promise requests BUT I did already film that scene in alt-angle. Could probably make a gifset for it later next week :)

Hello, just passing by. Cool blog. I love Star Wars Jedi Fallen Order & Jedi Survivor and I'm seen your answer will Kata. I'm sorry if I'm not correct I blurry remember the moment Greez talking with Kata and saying something like this, that Cere was a special lady and that she would like Kata. Hmm how sad and sweet what Greez said.

Their conversation about Cere happens at the end of this compilation video. Greez is also very thoughtful towards Kata in the post-game dialogue: finding ways to care for her (offering food, telling stories) while still giving her space to mourn. It's a softness that he doesn't really show towards anyone else - except his family.

I do hope to make a story video for Greez eventually, which would explain all my feelings way more eloquently than I could write here. But he's become the emotional core of the Mantis Crew, and is exactly who Kata needs right now as she adjusts to a new life.

Cal Kestis | Jedi Fallen Order

#ersatz-ostrich I think I found the Ilum window! #still want to try the other spot at some point too #star wars jedi fallen order #jedi fallen order #cal kestis #photomode

I just got finished with the game and I want to say a line of dialogue I really love is when Kata asks Merrin about dancing :^) I can totally imagine Merrin dancing with Kata who is standing on her feet since she's still a kid

That would be really cute! Nightsister dancing should definitely include kids-standing-on-toes. (Cal offers to try it with Greez and gets assigned dishwashing duties for the entire week)

All the post-game conversations with Kata are so good. She's inquisitive and interested in the galaxy beyond her own experiences, while still navigating her own grief. But she was also immediately comfortable with Merrin and wants to learn from her - like in their conversation about dancing.

For Merrin, she likely sees a bit of herself in Kata and offers her the warmth and sincerity that Kata needs right now. Makes me excited to see how their relationship develops in the third game.

I just finished my second playthrough of Jedi Survivor and WOW!! The story hits even harder the second time. I came across your photos and just want to say they're amazing!! I'm new to virtual photography but I literally spent half the time this run just taking photos of everything because the game is so pretty

It really does!! Sequels are always challenging, and continuing the incredible journey from Fallen Order (while also setting up a third game) is no small ask. Survivor definitely isn't perfect, but I appreciate Respawn's ambition to challenge Cal and further develop the themes that began in FO.

And thanks! I also spend half the time running around just taking photos hah. Such a good looking game! And good looking characters! (yes, even you Turgle) I do still have hopes to make a photomode tips/tricks video - maybe after the anniversary trailer - so if you have any specific topic ideas let me know

#how many of these sunrise photos does jen have YES #if you see a photomode shot just assume I have five others that don't get posted #asks #jedi survivor #cal kestis #photomode

The Mantis | Jedi Survivor

#I am very emotionally attached to this ship #“ooh who are we going to lose in Jedi 3 who's going to die” no one. BUT no one ever brings up the Mantis and I am -afraid- #star wars jedi survivor #jedi survivor #cal kestis #the mantis #photomode

"...our Senior Producer, Paul Hatfield, had the great idea of wanting to tie in some elements of the current events that Cal was experiencing in Survivor, mixed with the lingering trauma of Cal's memory of Order 66. This led to the through line of utilizing the Koboh matter along with Venator Class Star Destroyers and ship wreckage throughout all of the Force Tear levels. For the Force Tear Arena specifically, I wanted to craft something that fulfilled that narrative while pulling inspiration from Japanese Tea and Zen gardens. I also utilized the Shattered Moon and the iconic rock formations that Kevin Quinn created for the Void in the menu/skill tree UI." - Scott Russell

#there is SO much intentionality and storytelling in every corner of this game AHHHH #star wars jedi survivor #jedi survivor #cal kestis #photomode

So I've been out of town since Friday (35 work hours in roughly two days WOO) but it's been really fun to catch up on everyone's tags and reactions to the recent photos. As always, thanks so much for enjoying this game with me :)

I also realized Survivor was released one year ago this Sunday! 🎉 Won't have a new edit ready by then - hoping to finish one in time for Cal Kestis Week - but might make an anniversary trailer to celebrate. If there's a music cue from the game that you think would work well (doesn't have to be from the official OST) let me know!

#i spend all weekend filming and editing so i can sit down and do more filming and editing but with Star Wars. very silly. #also still can't believe it's been a YEAR already wow #project updates #jedi survivor #cal kestis #cere junda #photomode

Bedlam Raider Lieutenants | Jedi Survivor

#genuinely such a cool gameplay idea for Rayvis to have a stockpile of sabers from Jedi he's killed #and to arm raiders with them #should they really be a challenge to Cal? nah #but w/o much Inquisitor presence in this game it gives a chance for scrappy lightsaber fights and that's FUN #star wars jedi survivor #jedi survivor #cal kestis #photomode

Some days you shoot the empire in the nuts. Some days you take a flamethrower to the face.
