Why Cal Kestis is So much More Powerful Than Other Order 66 Survivors

  I would suggest that his lack of "proper training" is his greatest strength. He is not hindered by what a Jedi CAN do, his driving force is "What does he NEED to do?" The traditional way of training a Jedi would be a handicap for Cal. Not knowing where the limits are supposed to be allows Cal to keep pushing without the concern of "will this be enough?" because it has to be enough.

  Cal is by far the best thing to come out of the current era of Star Wars imo

  Cal was able to bypass the Disney lightsaber nerf when he embraces the dark side. That’s pretty powerful.

  It's crazy that Respawn was able to create one of the most powerful Jedi in Star Wars canon and still keep him balanced enough to stay canon AND become a fan favorite.

  I think that Cal might be so powerful because of his ability to sense information from objects. Almost like he's absorbing Jedi (and other force user) teachings whenever he's in contact with his history.

  You forgot his greatest feat:<br><br>Pulling Merrin.

  Cal’s greatest asset is having to stray from the jedi code. He’s not JUST reconnecting with the force as a Jedi. He’s reconnecting with the force as it truly is for the first time.

  I like that Cal embraces the failings of the Jedi order, he has attachments, he allows himself to feel and therefore control his emotions to empower him in a balance of both the light and dark side, he’s what a truly balanced force user should be

  In canon it’s also suggested by the Grand Inquisitor that following order 66 and the near eradication of the Jedi, the force tried balancing things out by blessing the few remaining Jedi, with a major boost in force power. This would explain why characters such as Cere could grow to the point of nearly defeating Darth Vader or Cal being able to take on Dagan.

  I wasn’t expecting Cal to be <b>this</b> powerful. He’s certainly unorthodox. From using irregular force powers to using equally irregular lightsaber fighting styles. Mostly self taught. Even opponents with great experience will never have faced someone as versatile as him. After fallen order, I thought Cal was a pretty strong, just about average Jedi with some unique skills. But after Survivor… he’s no joke. <br>But, in the end, I adore him because he’s such a good character. And him and Merrin’s relationship is my favourite romantic relationship in Star Wars. Honestly… Merrin seems really powerful too. She certainly knows handy some handy rituals and spells. Invisibility and teleportation… Wow. We’ve rarely seen nightsister tap into all this power, except for smother Talzin herself. Maybe it has something to do with Merrin being about the only nightsister that’s left. But maybe she too has some very underrated potential in the force.

  Jedi survivor might be the best star wars media we&apos;ve gotten in the last decade.
