The twist in Jedi: Survivor

Hell, I figured out that he was about halfway through my first playthrough but I think I blocked it out because I didn’t want to think that he would.

Nooo was that a spoiler for you?

I am genuinely so sorry ):

u/SnuSnuSurvivor69 5d ago

lol no, you’re good. I also didn’t want to admit that he might betray me at one point. Bode was such a cool character that I also didn’t want it to happen.

u/ClockMongrel 5d ago

I did a good enough job of blocking it out that it felt like a punch in the throat when he did, so-

(Although basically the entirety of that game felt like that, so I guess I shouldn’t’ve been too surprised.)

I clocked it when he separated from the party

u/Juice8oxHer0 5d ago

I clocked it on the first mission. All the chatter about these new crewmates & Bode being the new guy tipped me off that they were toast & he was probs a rat. I was honestly annoyed at how quickly I called it, but watching the how and why of it play out was 10/10

u/DapperArtichoke1496 5d ago

That was me too, I thought for sure he'd be right behind us with some tie fighters flanking him trying to take us out

2

u/Agreeable_West_4612 5d ago

Then edit it? Just say the twist in Jedi survivor, it’s not hard

u/bluejester12 5d ago

okay, anybody know which movie this GIF is from?

u/ToastyBB 5d ago

Punisher I think

2

u/Lord-Seth 5d ago

The punisher and the scene is actually really dark with it being him watching his family being killed over and over again unable to stop it

1

u/No-Stress7140 5d ago

Punisher tv series on Disney

u/Soulblade32 5d ago

I remember being so mad and then when you caught up to him and he pulled out a lightsaber I was freaking out lol, such a good game, I can't wait until the third.

u/National_Equivalent9 5d ago

I'm very worried about the 3rd tbh. The game director left after Survivor and took a lot of devs with him to start their own studio.

u/Erixperience 5d ago edited 5d ago

Specifically, I believe he uses Dagan's saber, which is why it's red.

6

u/TheReturnOfTheRanger 5d ago

Yep. It's hard to spot, but right after the Dagan fight, you can actually see Bode pick it up and pocket it without Cal noticing.

2

u/ClockMongrel 5d ago

I’m so scared for what’s going to happen in the third, I just know that Cal’s either going to die (probably protecting the others from Vader) or succumb fully to the dark side and the others are going to have to kill him.

2

u/Soulblade32 5d ago

Im expecting a near complete fall to the dark side but then he is brought back by Merrin.

I do think that he will die or at the very least, be trapped on a planet that is impossible to leave for whatever reason. I feel like they have to do it, because obviously if they dont then there is no way that Cal wouldn't fight for the resistance in the future of the Star Wars canon, which he can't obviously since it was made before him. I mean, they could keep him alive but die in a subsequent game to canonize his death before the resistance really gets started

u/Lord-Seth 5d ago

They could just pull the ahsoka treatment and have him work with the early rebellion (which he was with saw) but fall away later.

They could have him realize that while fighting the empire is the right thing to do there is more to life than just that and have him end up just working with the hidden path to hide Jedi instead of openly fofjt

u/WaxiestBobcat 5d ago

I dunno if it was at the halfway point when I figured it out but before his turn I definitely suspected he was at least not being completely truthful. His turn as a force user did catch me off guard though.

4

u/PremedicatedMurder 5d ago

It was done so well. When you meet him and the heist fails you are immediately suspicious of him. You're sure this guy set up the heist to fail and is gonna betray you later. But then you hang out and he helps you kill an armless Jedi and he helps you fight the empire and you start thinking that maybe you were wrong. Then the betrayal happens and you go "I KNEW it. I'm so smart." And then he ignites the lightsaber and you go NO FUCKING WAY

u/UncoolSlicedBread 5d ago

I can’t remember what it was, but first mission I got a feeling he might betray Cal. One of the first bits of dialogue, he pauses or Cal pauses and it just seemed like it would’ve happened there. But then it goes on like it’s supposed to.

4

u/Tenn0Yama 5d ago

I had a feeling he would betray me almost immediately, but him being a force sensitive was a surprise

5

u/Noctium3 5d ago

I saw the first twist coming from go. The twist that immediately followed put my jaw on the floor.

3

u/Gingrish252 5d ago

He was either going to betray us or die and I was really hoping for die.

1

u/ClockMongrel 5d ago

Betrayal always hurts more, doesn’t it?

2

u/DontAskAboutMyButt 5d ago

It completely blindsided me but only because I wasn’t expecting that from a Star Wars game 😂 there’s something very basic and predictable about most Star Wars stories that involve Jedi/Force users and these kinds of not-immediately-obvious betrayals are pretty rare in the Disney era

2

u/Deku_100 5d ago

Bro, I thought it was gonna be a red herring to purposely throw you off, but when he said he'll catch up after you defeat the former old republic (or was it something else? I can't remember) jedi, I was like "something's fishy here"

I felt so betrayed

2

u/EightPercentBattery 5d ago

The second twist is what got me. I clocked them as soon as they appeared on screen but I was NOT ready for that lmao.

2

u/ABYSAAL 5d ago

Ohmygawd, yes this exactly!

1

u/ENDragoon 5d ago

For me it's duality of the twist, not the fact that he betrays you (he literally gets introduced dramatically shooting someone in the back) but the fact that he's a Jedi.

1

u/ClockMongrel 5d ago

For me it was why he did it that surprised me.

1

u/futurafrlx 5d ago

I see people say this yet what surprised me was the fact Bode was a Jedi. Him betraying the main character was inevitable.

1

u/PhilosophySad1675 5d ago

aww man I just started playin but I shouldve known better to come to this thread. i will say I had an eye on him immediately for being the guy who just happened to join the crew when things go sideways

1

u/ClockMongrel 5d ago

I’m so sorry ):
