Hello there! This site is still under reconstruction. But like the Death Star it is operational.
If you don't know me, it's okay. I prefer to lay low. And you may not be familiar with Star Wars gaming.
Truth be told, I was not either until I was looking for a Jedi game. And wouldn't you know, I found: Jedi - Fallen Order with its hero Cal Kestis and his companion droid BD-1.
I did not consider cosplaying Cal until I was looking for an alternate and appropriate outfit for my first trip to Disney's Galaxy's Edge in 2025.
But as you can see the character also was a good choice for celebrating May the Fourth at my church.

The Hero and his Path
There are a lot of Star Wars games. Among those considered to be really well created and received are Fallen Order and its sequel Survivor.
The protagonist, Cal Kestis is a young former Padawan who did not complete his Jedi training when the evil Emperor issued Order 66 that sought to eliminate the Jedi order and killed most of them, including Cal's master. Cal went into hiding, working on a space scrapyard. That is, until the Empire got his attention, and Cal had to flee.
On his escape, Cal is rescued by another former Jedi, Cere and her ship's captain. Cal is taken to a planet where he makes a series of discoveries, acquires new skills, and meets a helpful droid BD-1. Upon return to the Mantis ship, Cal makes the decision to stop running and instead to help rebuild the Jedi Order.
And so begins a quest to find other surviving Jedi.

The game(s) are amazing in their design and play. The graphics look photo realistic. The environments are stunning, and the music beautiful. Characters are interesting, and so is the quest to find clues. Combat is manageable in easy story mode. And the story is well integrated into the larger Star Wars universe.
★ Info Data: Available on major platforms. I play on PC with a game controller. Made by Respawn and distributed through EA.

I modified one of Cal's standard Survivor outfits for the hot and humid Florida climate. And I could wear that vest any and every day. It may not have been the correct time line but I felt like I fit right in as I explored Black Spire Outpost on Batuu.
