Star Wars Jedi: Survivor - Cal's Fate on the Path of a Gray Jedi

The significance of Cal's most chosen lightsaber color in Star Wars Jedi: Survivor

In Star Wars Jedi: Survivor, the sequel to Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order, players can customize their lightsabers in various ways, including choosing the color of their lightsaber. According to a tweet from the official Electronic Arts Star Wars account, the most popular lightsaber color in Star Wars Jedi: Survivor is white. But what could be the significance of this color choice?

The white lightsaber color could have an implicit meaning that predicts the fate of Cal Kestis, the main character of the game, in the upcoming games from Respawn Entertainment. In the Star Wars franchise, white lightsabers are rather uncommon and are usually associated with characters who do not follow the path of the Jedi or the Sith.

Cal Kestis and the Path of the Grey Jedi

One well-known example of a character with white lightsabers is Ahsoka Tano from Star Wars Rebels. According to co-creator Dave Filoni, her white lightsabers symbolize her own independent path: she is neither Jedi nor Sith and can be considered a Grey Jedi. This could also apply to Cal Kestis, as there are some indications that he may be heading down the path of the Grey Jedi in Star Wars Jedi: Survivor.

Indications of a Grey Jedi in Cal's actions

Cal has found himself in situations during his rebellion against the Empire where he does not strictly adhere to the traditional teachings of the Jedi. For example, his involvement in a romantic relationship shows that he is willing to deviate from the strict rules of the Jedi. His decisions in the game also suggest that Cal has a stronger interest in doing what is right and finding his own path, rather than blindly following the dictates of the Jedi or Sith.

The role of Cal Kestis in future games

Since the most commonly chosen lightsaber color in Star Wars Jedi: Survivor is white, which symbolizes the path of a Grey Jedi, this could indicate that Cal Kestis may potentially follow the path of a Grey Jedi in future games by Respawn Entertainment. This would allow him to make his own decisions and question both the teachings of the Jedi and the Sith.

Whether our speculations are accurate and Cal does indeed follow the path of a Grey Jedi remains to be seen. However, it is exciting to speculate about the possible developments of Cal's character and his role in the Star Wars universe.
