    In Jedi Survivor, Cal Kestis basically mirrors

    Tap for spoiler

    Bode Akuna (a fallen Jedi turned imperial agent)

    who fights exclusively with blasters and a saber, and you can utilize a blaster/saber hybrid stance. So if the game is Canon, then a jedi using a blaster combined with a saber is a new form of combat formed after the fall of the jedi

    Edit: realized I put a spoiler in even though the game was released two years ago

      That one fact might be what pushes me over to actually wanting to play Jedi Survivor, I played but didn’t finish the first one and thought it was neat but it didn’t really hook me.

      I’m a sucker for a good sword-and-gun stance though.

        Having just completed the game recently, I will say it’s flawed, as is to be expected from an EA game. But it is objectively a good game in my opinion and makes up for its flaws. Where the first game was really more of the “Jedi tries to survive” plot, this game is really “Cal comes into his own and works to make a difference against increasing odds.” Being able to choose between single/double bladed/dual wield/saber&blaster stances is really fun and they all feel thought out in their own way. I would never recommend to buy it at full price, but on sale it’s certainly a fun game to play through
