As a dedicated Star Wars fan who has spent countless hours exploring the galaxy far, far away, I can wholeheartedly say that the inclusion of hooded ponchos for Cal Kestis in Star Wars Jedi: Survivor was a welcome addition to the series’ customization options. However, it feels like Respawn missed an opportunity to bring the series full circle and complete its trilogy with a hooded look for our beloved Jedi Padawan.
In the Star Wars Jedi: Survivor game, an impressive improvement was made regarding character customization. While it’s true that the intricacy of lightsaber component configurations has been a series staple, the customization options in Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order were essentially limited to color variations for Cal Kestis, BD-1, and the Stinger Mantis. However, with Star Wars Jedi: Survivor, Respawn expanded the customization possibilities significantly, going beyond just multiple ponchos and color options for outfits. Now, Cal can sport a variety of unique appearances as he grows a full beard in the game.
In the show Survivor, a variety of clothing choices are quite captivating, as they encompass a wide spectrum of Star Wars history and lore from different eras. Respawn and EA used this occasion to add elements that will delight fans, by integrating cosmetics within Survivor that draw inspiration from iconic moments in Star Wars, such as A New Hope and Obi-Wan Kenobi.
How Cal Kestis’ Hooded Poncho Makes an Unrequited Impact on Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order
It’s possible that the hood accessory for the cosmetic wouldn’t be so eagerly awaited if Respawn hadn’t hinted at it. In fact, in the initial shot of Cal’s reveal trailer for Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order, he was seen wearing a hood under his scrapper poncho. This hood contributed to the impression that Cal was secretively evading the Galactic Empire and the Inquisitors on Bracca, maintaining a low profile and avoiding any trouble as a refugee to live peacefully.
It’s a pity that, in the game, players all don the Scrapper Guild poncho without a hood option for Cal. This isn’t a major issue considering the limited customization options available for Cal at the start of Fallen Order. Similarly, in Survivor, they missed an opportunity to include a hooded gear item in their extensive collection.
In the pre-order for “Star Wars: Obi-Wan Kenobi,” the figure modeled after the title character features a non-detachable hood on his robe, which cannot be worn separately.
Star Wars Jedi’s Cal Kestis Doesn’t Need to Go to the Dark Side to Don a Hood
In the games Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor and Middle-earth: Shadow of War, you’ll find iconic hooded cloaks among the cosmetics. The hooded cloak from Shadow of Mordor was given as a Dark Ranger pre-order bonus skin, whereas in Shadow of Mordor’s sequel, it becomes part of Talion’s gear system and endgame storyline when he transforms into a Nazgul.
In the two-part epic by Monolith’s Middle-earth, hooded garments are often linked with shadows and mystery, particularly for Talion who was bound by Isildur’s ring – one of the nine rings gifted to Men. However, it’s important to note that many characters wear hooded cloaks without any specific symbolism or underlying message other than possibly hiding their identity, like Aragorn did while using his Strider alias at Bree’s Prancing Pony. Nevertheless, this detail adds a distinctive visual flair that isn’t commonly seen in game aesthetics and stands out as a result.
In a hypothetical scenario, Respawn could offer two distinct methods for Cal Kestis in Star Wars Jedi to wear a hood. One option could be offering a pre-order bonus, similar to what was done with Mordor, where it provides a hooded cloak. Another possibility is taking Cal’s character development further, pushing him towards the dark side, and dressing him in a hooded robe like Anakin Skywalker in Revenge of the Sith or how Talion adorns a hood when corrupted by the ring. However, a neutral alternative would be appealing – a standard cloak with its hood up, free from any light- or dark-side connotations, that could appear in the final chapter of Star Wars Jedi.
