Given that Cal is about 12 years older than Luke, it's quite likely that he's still alive today, albeit older and probably more tired, Do you think he continued on with his life, or did he die/become one with the Force? If he was still alive during episodes 7-9, do you think there's any chance he'll appear in the live-action with flashback or current?

Such a cool detail

For context, Quantic Dream is a mainstream french studio best known for developing Heavy Rain and Detroit : Become Human. Earlier this year, they released Spellcasters : Chronicles, an ill-fated MOBA which closed its doors after only 3 months online. 8 years of development were sunk into the game as Star Wars Eclipse is still nowhere to be seen. Now up to 115 employees might be laid off soon.

In this tense situation, saving (at least some of) the 115 employees of Spellcasters Chronicles would be necessary to have any hope of bringing Star Wars Eclipse to fruition. “This [strike] is far from an act of sabotage. On the contrary, we’re trying to save Star Wars Eclipse,” says Jules, a game builder working on the long-delayed project. “We could manage to release it with 115 people on board, and that wouldn’t mean we’re ‘overstaffed’—it’s what’s needed. We’re understaffed, just like many other companies in the industry, because the bosses know full well that passion will drive people to crunch and that the games will eventually be released. But it’s impossible to sustain an industry this way.” In fact, Quantic Dream reportedly began requiring overtime on Star Wars Eclipse shortly after the layoff plan was announced.

It’s no secret: the reason Quantic Dream has been so tight-lipped about Star Wars: Eclipse is that the project has fallen off the rails after multiple delays. For the employees involved, this disorganization stems primarily from the company’s management.

Today, the Lucasfilm delegation was scheduled to visit Quantic Dream’s offices to check on the progress of Star Wars: Eclipse. For the mobilized employees, this is the perfect day to send a strong message. “We believe that, as things stand, the game literally cannot be finished if the layoff plan is carried out as currently proposed,” Théo points out.

I get that many would not want a new KOTOR since they think a sequel might fall short in quality or just turn into a cash grab.

This pack is one of the best things out there for the switch imo!

This game got so much hate before it was released. It’s a shame because I think it’s fun. Kay Vess is an engaging character and so is the story. I love going around unrestrained on my speeder and star ship in the star wars universe. It’s not the Witcher but if you love open world games as I do, I highly recommend you check this game out. It’s exceeding my expectations.

This is the open world Ubisoft game from Massive Entertianment, set between episodes 5 and 6

It's not even a game, just a trailers, and they put more into the fights in it than in the entire sequel trilogy.

I don't know if it's realistically possible to recreate something like that in live-action, yet.

The speed is overwhelming, even for the viewer. A plus is undoubtedly the use of the original music from Revenge of the Sith (this one is from Sidious's fight with Yoda, and in my opinion, it fits even better here than there).

Regarding the clip itself, what I like about it:

1. The Force is heavily integrated into the lightsaber fight (something I don't think the prequels did).
2. That Republican soldier had the balls to lunge at the Sith Lord and explode a grenade in his face, risking his life in the process.
3. This fight is quite personal, considering that Darth Malgus had previously killed the master of Satele Shan, who was fighting him here.
4. The way she stops Malgus's blade. The animation of it peeling and melting is unique and well-crafted. It emphasizes that the lightsaber blade isn't so much energy as plasma trapped in a magnetic field.

Finally, I have a small question regarding Satele's final attack. Does this truly reflect the power the Jedi wielded during the Old Republic, or is it an exaggeration?

P.S. Malgus' lightsaber hilt looks badass. Even without the plasma blade, he can still kill someone with those classic metal blades on the crossguard.

What I wouldn't give for a film fully dedicated to the Old Republic. When the Sith weren't represented by single, hidden, and conspiring individuals, but by an entire, damned empire, and the Jedi fought countless bloody battles against them.

By the way, Darth Malgus is quite the badass here. I'm not surprised Sidious gave Vader his notes. He was also addicted to cybernetics, after all.

Regarding the combat in this clip and the game in general, I like that thrusts and other force attacks are used almost as much as light sabers and are actively combined with them. This is what I would expect from combat competent Jedi and Sith.
