“Does this mean Cal Kestis is going to die?”: Here is Why Our Worst Nightmare About Cal Kestis Won’t Come True in Final Star Wars Jedi Survivor Game

SUMMARY

• Cal Kestis' death would not serve the narrative of the game.
• Fans do not want to see him dead since that would change the theme and narrative of the game entirely.
• Star Wars Jedi 3 is set to conclude the Jedi survivor series.

Cal Kestis, the protagonist of the Star Wars Jedi Survivor Game series, might be on the verge of dying, as it is speculated that Jedi 3 would be the last installation in the series. This has made fans weary about what the future holds for Kestis.

However, killing him off would not do much justice to the theme of the game, and it will be an unexpected turn. Nothing can be said for certain as of now; doubts will only be cleared after the game’s release since it is too soon to hold a preconceived notion against it.

Cal Kestis’ Death Would Go Against The Narrative

In the next addition to the Jedi Survivor series, which will be the last addition to the franchise, Cal Kestis is seen struggling to be alive. There have been speculations about his death in the upcoming game. However, his death would reiterate and reflect on the parts of him that would go against the narrative of the game.

He has seen many close calls in the past and could easily die in the last game, concluding his as well as the empire’s story. However, Cal Kestis needs retribution; he has grown as a fighter and all for liberation; if he does not achieve it, then things do not make much sense.

Secondly, he has a large (dark side) wound that needs healing and a relationship with a mentee/padawan to navigate, along with the looming threat of the Empire. Thirdly, Kestis’ dying or giving into the darkness would prove his older self, the Inquisitors, Trilla, Masana, Dagan, and Bode all right, which goes against the theme and narrative of the game.

All in all, killing him would not be the best decision; however, having said that, it is also fair to give the writing team behind the game some credit since they are the ones currently trying to come up with an ending that will resonate with Star Wars fans for years to come.

Star Wars Jedi 3 is set to conclude the Jedi Survivor series. There has been no official announcement regarding the game’s release as of now. However, it has been confirmed that this will be the last game.

The game is far away from release; it has only been confirmed that it is currently in development. EA’s decision to make this game the last one seems logical after its recent shift in focus towards Marvel games.

The Star Wars Jedi survivor series has been profitable for all, and stretching it would not make much sense now. This is by far one of the developer’s most thought-out decisions. What do you think about Cal Kestis dying in the last game? Let us know in the comments below.
