Darth Vader, the legendary Star Wars villain, made an epic appearance in 2019’s Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order. But does he returns in Star Wars Jedi: Survivor? Here’s that, and more, revealed.
***Needless to say, the following article discusses Star Wars Jedi: Survivor plot points and spoilers, so only read on if you’re happy to know the answer to the question.***
Does Darth Vader Appear in Star Wars Jedi: Survivor?
Yes, Darth Vader makes a return in Star Wars Jedi: Survivor. It’s not a huge role and he is not the game’s primary antagonist, but Darth Vader does appear towards the end of Jedi: Survivor’s narrative. Before we delve into his specific appearance, it’s probably worth revisiting his role in its predecessor.
In Fallen Order, Vader occupied the role of the final ‘boss’, executing Trilla for failing to kill protagonist Cal Kestis. A battle between Cal, BD-1, Cere and Vader ensues, with the three protagonists escaping by throwing vicious torrents of water at Vader. His role in Jedi: Survivor differs considerably, but has similarly powerful repercussions.
What Role Does He Play?
Towards the end of the narrative, the Archive on Jedha, one of our heroes’ de facto HQs, comes under attack by the Empire.
Just prior to this attack, Cal’s friend Bode Akuna is revealed as a traitor installed by the Empire. He murders Master Eno Cordova and flees, forcing Cal to pursue him across Jedha. This leaves Merrin and Cere to defend the Archive, with players thrown into the shoes of the latter.
As Cere defends the base from attackers on all sides, Darth Vader reveals himself behind the forces and launches an assault on Cere. A fierce Lightsaber battle ensues, with Cere ultimately killed by Vader despite temporarily overpowering him. Vader then flees the Archive as the attack continues. He does not feature again in Jedi: Survivor.
Because of the game’s ending, there is every chance Darth Vader returns in a subsequent Respawn Star Wars game. Whether he has a more substantial role is up in there, but there’ll doubtless be fans clamoring for more Anakin Skywalker given how epic his last couple of cameos have been.
