‘Star Wars Jedi: Survivor’ is ‘Star Wars’ storytelling at its best
LA Times“Star Wars” in 2023 is sprawling, a franchise with numerous animated and live-action streaming series, books and theme park lands. Perhaps, then, it makes sense that I’ve taken so highly to “Star Wars Jedi: Survivor,” the latest large-scale video game from Sherman Oaks-based studio Respawn Entertainment. In the first game, 2019’s “Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order,” Kestis set out to rebuild the Jedi, a mission we know wouldn’t be a resounding success due to the events of the films and series set after it. They’re the why and the emotional how.. Cal’s angle is, ‘Who am I, relative to all these people who came before me, based on what I want to achieve?’ And what he may want to achieve is to kill that or blow that up.” Cal Kestis and companion droid BD-1 explore a new planet in “Star Wars Jedi: Survivor.” Of course, this is a video game that can stretch longer than 30 hours, especially if one takes the time to explore its various planets and moons. That cheery tone — the ability to find humor in challenging times — is what stands out to me with Respawn’s “Jedi” games and makes them as enjoyable as the best “Star Wars” stories.
