It’s a captivating arc for both the game’s hero and main villain, and it also reveals that not all was as it seemed during the High Republic era. In the end, Cal manages to defeat Dagan, but to do so, Cal comes closer than ever before to his own corruption. For Cal, reaching Tanalorr is a chance to help the Hidden Path underground network (first introduced in Obi-Wan Kenobi) to find a safe haven for fugitive Jedi trying to escape the Empire and their Inquisitors. The rest of the game becomes a race against time between Cal, Dagan, and the Empire to reach Tanalorr, one that results in many casualties along the way. Learning that the Jedi Order of Cal’s era fell to the Sith and allowed the Empire to rise from under their very noses only strengthens Dagan’s view that the Jedi are too weak to do what needs to be done to “protect” the galaxy. Now back, Dagan plans to find Tanalorr and raise a new army, with the help of a group of marauders known as the Bedlam Raiders, to take down the Empire and rule the galaxy as he sees fit. At first, Cal believes that a full-fledged Jedi Knight like Dagan can help him in his fight against the Empire, but he’s actually made a terrible mistake by freeing him from the tank. When Jedi hero Cal Kestis finally discovers Dagan, the High Republic era Jedi has been asleep in a statis tank for 200 years for reasons we discover as the game progresses. It’s no wonder that Dagan Gera, a new Jedi Knight players meet in the video game Star Wars Jedi: Survivor, experiences whiplash when he wakes from his long slumber on the distant Outer Rim planet of Koboh during the reign of the Empire. In other words, this is a very different Star Wars galaxy than what you’ve watched in the movies and TV series thus far - a new Disney+ show called The Acolyte will change that in 2024, though.

There’s no Empire or Clone Army or Jedi Purge. Instead, the biggest threats to the majestic, gold robe-wearing Jedi Knights of this era are a faction of pirate terrorists known as the Nihil and a swarm of plant monsters called the Drengir. The Jedi Order are at the height of their powers and the Sith are nowhere to be found (although we know they’re out there somewhere).
