Cal Ketsis, Star Wars Jedi: Survivor
Cal was already a fascinating character in Jedi: Fallen Order, one whose journey you yearned to see in spite of the grim inevitability of his quest to potentially restore a future Jedi Order being doomed to fail. In Survivor we get to meet an older, wiser, more headstrong Cal who’s been both hardened and emboldened by his fight against the Empire, and yet still craves a sense of inner peace he can feel slipping away with every tragedy, every little betrayal that comes along with his noble goal of standing against Imperial tyranny. Survivor puts him through a ringer that has you rooting for Cal to find that peace every step of the way, and sees Cameron Monaghan turn in a career-defining performance that makes him one of Star Wars’ brightest current stars—regardless of whether he shows up in a movie or TV show some day. Plus, he’s very fun to play dress up with.
