"You would be wise to surrender." ― Darth Vader to Cal Kestis
Darth Vader is a character and the final and main antagonist of Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order, as well as a secondary antagonist in Star Wars Jedi: Survivor.
Summary[]
First encountered during the final mission of Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order, Darth Vader is the final boss faced by Cal Kestis, though his boss fight differs significantly in that it heavily relies upon quick-time events. Invincible and able to block any and all attacks thrown at him, the player must alternate between running away and following the quick-time events to avoid a game over.
History[]
Background[]
Before the "dark times", he had been the Jedi Knight Anakin Skywalker, once trained by the Jedi Master Obi-Wan Kenobi, and served as a General for the Galactic Republic's military against the droid forces of the CIS during the Clone Wars. His possesive love for his secret wife and thirst for more power led to him being ensnared by the hidden Sith Lord Darth Sidious and becoming his prized pupil, Darth Vader. With Vader's instrumental help, Sidious transformed the Galactic Republic into the first Galactic Empire and initiated the purge of the Jedi Order. A fierce duel between old former master and apprentice led to Vader being maimed by Kenobi and being afterwards reborn in his infamous life-support suit and armor.
Eventually granted the position of Commander-in-Chief, Lord Vader led the Imperial Military on countless campaigns, stomping rebellion and pacifying Separatist worlds, while also overseeing the Imperial Inquisition's efforts to eradicate the the fallen Jedi Order. Vader's orders are placed on the same priority as Sidious', given both his military rank and special position as the Emperor's right-hand.
After being apprehended by the Imperial forces and being brought to Fortress Inquisitorius, Jedi Master Cere Junda encountered Lord Vader during her confinement. The cyborg warlord's cruelty and overbearing presence broke her resistance and she gave up the location of her Padawan, Trilla Suduri.
Star Wars: Jedi Fallen Order[]
Following the capture of Jedi Master Eno Cordova's holocron, Lord Vader travelled to Fortress Inquisitorius to debrief the Inquisitor Second Sister.
With the Second Sister defeated by her Jedi opponents, Cal Kestis and Cere Junda, Vader himself emerges from the shadows. Using the Force to keep the Inquisitor still, the cyborg warlord slowly descends to her and expresses his disappointment with her failure. Vader then strikes the Second Sister down with his lightsaber, enraging Cere who charges at him with her fallen pupil's weapon. The Dark Lord of the Sith easily brushes the Jedi Master aside with a wave of his hand, before menacingly advising the remaining Jedi Knight to surrender.
With all of his lightsaber and Force attacks effortlessly blocked by Vader, Cal opts to cut his losses and run, with Vader tearing apart the floor he is running on. He narrowly manages to reach an elevator and gets to the upper floors, though the Dark Lord of the Sith ambushes the young Jedi Knight as he opens up the underwater entrance to the Inquisitors' base. Though Kestis manages to stab him in the side thanks to a distraction from BD-1, Vader impales Cal with his own lightsaber and nearly kills him before Cere - having survived her apparent demise - intervenes. Sensing the dark zice swelling within the Jedi Master, the Sith Lord attempts to corrupt her, provoking her. Cere resists the dark side's pull and holds Vader at bay by using a Force-shield. This gives Cal enough time to break open a nearby window, causing a massive torrent of water to flow into the hallway, forcing Vader to focus on driving the water back and allowing Cal to escape with BD-1 and Cere.
Star Wars Jedi: Survivor[]
Without the blessing of Lord Vader, Commander Lank Denvik formulated his own plans to hunt down both the Jedi Master Cere Junda and the "Hidden Path", a secretive network that sheltered Force-wielding fugitives, by having his agent - ex-Jedi Bode Akuna - infiltrate the group. The Chief Supervisor believed that the ISB could do the job better than the Inquisitorius that the mechanical Commander-in-Chief also commanded.
Akuna later leaked the location of Junda's archive to Vader, who then journeyed to Jedha to both kill the Jedi Master and destroy the safehouse.
