'Star Wars Jedi: Survivor' is a video game that feels like a 'Star Wars' greatest hits package. It also makes the argument that the Jedi are what make the franchise special, writes toddmartens. Read the full review 🎮
“Star Wars” in 2023 is sprawling, a franchise with numerous animated and live-action streaming series, books and theme park lands. I suspect that most fans who are interested in the brand pick and choose their spots, rather than try to keep up with it all. My favorite element of “Star Wars” these days is the one that’s in a physical space —. It’s a place to wander, explore and play, and a reminder that the original films created not just a new American myth but a world we wanted to get lost in.
What struck me with “Survivor” is how patient it can be. After a rigorous opening in which Kestis is on a rebellion mission — one in which not every one of Kestis’ collaborators makes it out alive — the game dials down the action for a moment.
But the tone is set. “Survivor” isn’t a game of simply running and battling another foe hunting the Jedi. It’s an action game that strives for personal reflection — the efforts to maintain a sense of idealism amid numerous tragedies and personal disappointments . Also, when you’re destined to be selfless, maybe it’s OK to figure out a time to be a little selfish? Disney+ series “Obi-Wan Kenobi” grappled briefly with such internal conflicts. “Survivor” makes them the narrative focus.
