In "Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order," the game offers various paths and endings depending on the choices you make throughout the story. While the main story mode follows a specific narrative arc, the "Journey Plus" mode allows players to explore different aspects of the story and character alignment.
In Journey Plus, if players choose to play as Cal Kestis with a red lightsaber, representing his embrace of the dark side and his alignment with the Inquisitors, it creates an interesting parallel to the more traditional heroic journey. During this run, Darth Vader attempts to manipulate Cal, leading to significant character decisions, such as the potential to turn against allies like Cere. This offers a darker perspective on the narrative and showcases how power and corruption can influence choices.
While players can face Vader in both endings, the context and motivations behind the confrontation can differ greatly based on Cal's alignment—making for a more complex and layered storytelling experience. The darker choices in Journey Plus emphasize themes of temptation and betrayal, adding depth to Cal's character and the overall narrative of the game, highlighting the struggles between light and darkness within the Star Wars universe.
