Jedi: Survivor is the newest game in the Star Wars gaming world. It has a great cast, but here are a few that didn’t make the cut.
Fans have loved Star Wars Jedi: Survivor a lot. A lot of the praise has come from the new features and, of course, the surprise guests. But there is something missing for fans: many figures didn’t get the chance to be in the game.
Several big names who were busy in the galaxy at this time could have met Cal Kestis on his travels, but they don’t show up. Some of these names would have been great to meet in Star Wars: Jedi: Survivor. They could have been enemies or other Jedi who could have taught him some tricks.
Yoda
Fans know that Yoda made it through Order 66 and went to Dagobah. There, he lived in hiding and didn’t seem to talk to anyone else until Luke Skywalker went to him in The Empire Strikes Back to learn from him.
It seems likely that another Jedi could have gone to see Yoda while he was in exile to keep teaching him in the fight against the Empire. Cal could have been one of these Jedis. The swampy area of Dagaboah would be a great place for Cal to climb and do parkour. This would give Cal great training in the force from one of the best people who ever did it.
Ahsoka Tano
Ahsoka Tano, who is a fan favorite, was also a Jedi during the time the games take place, even though she left the order before Order 66. Fans know that she was still alive and well when the Empire fell because she was in Rebels and The Mandalorian.
Ahsoka would have been a great figure for Jedi: Survivor to include.She could have gone on a low-key mission with Cal and taught him a few things along the way. With the new “team up” tool in the game, the Togruta could have made a difference by using both of his lightsabers.
Obi-Wan Kenobi
Fans really wanted Obi-Wan Kenobi, or Ben Kenobi as he was called back then, to be in the movie. He didn’t just sit around and wait for Luke to grow up, as his own Disney+ show shows. He went on his adventures and helped fight against the Empire more than people thought.
Cal’s travels could have taken him to Tatooine, where he could have gotten himself into trouble and then, in a callback to A New Hope, been saved by Kenobi. A cameo would have been a good idea for Kenobi. It would have added to the story of the series and been a great way to give fans what they want.
Quinlan Vos
As shown in Kenobi, Quinlan Vos lived through the purge of Jedi and was a key part of The Hidden Path, a safe way for Jedi and force-sensitive people to leave the Empire.
The Hidden Path is an important part of the story in the latest video game, but Vos is never mentioned. It would have been fun to see the recluse Jedi make a cameo. It seems like a missed chance, because it would have added to Vos’s story, which fans want to hear more about.
Darth Maul
This fan favorite is still waiting for his big break. Maul was not used enough in The Phantom Menace, but he got his chance to be a big bad in The Clone Wars.
His cameo in Solo: A Star Wars Story didn’t seem to go anywhere, so this story could have been carried in these games. Maul was in charge of a gang called the Crimson Dawn. This group should have been the bad guy in the story, and Maul should have been the boss fight. Even if Maul wasn’t a big part of the story, just having him show up would have been enough. Maybe the people who made Star Wars are saving him for something bigger.
Starkiller
Starkiller is the first Cal Kestis in many ways. He was the main character in Star Wars: The Force Unleashed, which fans loved.But when Disney took over, this title and its follow-ups were taken out of the canon, leaving Starkiller as a Legends figure.
But there’s no reason why Starkiller couldn’t have still been Darth Vader’s secret pupil. In the end, we don’t know what Vader did between Episodes 3 and 4. A game would have been a great way to bring back the character and give him a chance to show up in real life. As members of Vader’s army of Inquisitors, Starkiller and Cal would have fought each other in the game.
Captain Rex
In the beginning of Jedi: Survivor, we learn that Cal and Saw Gerrera were part of the resistance and were working together. And who else was helping the rebels at this time? Captain Rex.
Order 66 didn’t affect the former 501st Captain and Commander because he took out his inhibitor chip. Because of this, he stayed a friend of the Jedi. During the game, Rex and Cal could have worked together. Since Battle Droids are often enemies, it would have been cool for Rex to fight his old enemy the Clankers again.
Emperor Palpatine
Sheev Palpatine, or “the Emperor,” is the main bad guy in the Star Wars story. He is in charge of the Empire. The Empire was in charge of the world at this time, and the leader of the Empire should have been in Slope Game.
He would have been too strong to be Cal’s boss, so it doesn’t make sense to use him as one. But fans needed a cameo to tell them who is really in charge. In Jedi: Survivor, the Empire seems to take a bit of a back seat, but fans need to know that they are the real problem. The Emperor could have been a good way to do this.
Cad Bane
Bounty hunters are a common enemy on the worlds Kestis visits because they are after the Jedi as their prize. However, these bounty hunters are all new people. None of them are well-known people whose faces have been shown in other media.
Cad Bane could not have been one of these reward hunters for any reason. He would have to get past his meeting with Cal, since The Book of Boba Fett takes place years later. Fans liked Cad Bane, and this character would have been a treat for those who watched The Clone Wars.
Han Solo
The story of this game takes place a year after Solo: A Star Wars Story. Since it’s not clear if there will be a second movie, the story of the first movie could have been continued in this game, at least in part. Cal could show up in Solo and Chewie’s adventures, maybe in a small scene in a bar as a surprise.
If Han Solo is too much, then the Millennium Falcon should have been in this latest entry as a little teaser for the pirate and his hairy friend.It would have been a good chance to add to the story and find out where some people are at this point in time.
