That said when Jedi: Survivor shines, it is truly resplendent. I’d have much preferred to spend more time learning about Merrin’s soul-searching journey across the galaxy or Greez’s family history than traipse through yet another treacherous swamp. The avuncular Greez and the brooding yet soulful Merrin are treats and I was disappointed that I didn’t get to spend more time with them. Jedi: Survivor's cast simply isn’t given enough time in the spotlight. However, it often feels like these figures are wasted in the context of the game’s pacing.

The game sets up a cast of memorable and likable characters, often arming them with charm and sparkling dialogue. Jedi: Survivor's cast simply isn’t given enough time in the spotlight

A thrilling opening section gives way to a meandering second act which, in turn, becomes dramatically upended through an unexpected and impressive plot twist. In this regard, Jedi: Survivor’s story is indelibly Star Wars. After all, it’s a franchise that gave us both The Empire Strikes Back and Attack of the Clones: hits and misses are almost as Star Wars as The Force itself. Strangely enough, there are few things more Star Wars than the contrasts that underpin Jedi: Survivor.
