What happens at the end of Star Wars Jedi: Survivor?

Star Wars Jedi: Survivor’s story culminates in a showdown on Tanalorr. Cal, Merrin, and Greez successfully navigate their way to the idyllic planet – with Cal and Merring leaving the Mantis in search of the traitorous Bode Akuna.

They find Bode’s daughter Kata and she takes them to Bode. He rejects Cal and Merrin’s attempts at reconciliation and refuses to surrender. This leads to a long fight between Cal and Bode with Merrin simultaneously providing assistance to Cal and getting Kata to safety.

After Cal eventually gets the better of Bode, the turncoat Jedi asks if Cal can protect Kata from the Empire. He receives a dejected silence from Cal and Bode laughs and springs from his downed state to grab Cal.

In the process, he force pushes Kata away and nearly kills Merrin with the force choke. Cal uses dark powers to break Bode’s hold on himself and Merrin, and both Jedis pull out blasters.

Bode fires, but his gun doesn’t work, but Cal’s does and he fatally shoots Bode twice.

In the aftermath, the crew hosts a funeral in which the bodies of Bode Akuna, Cere Junda, and Eno Cordova are burned. Everyone leaves but Cal who ends up telepathically speaking to Cere.

Cal confesses his fear and admits his frailties when it comes to the dark side, worried he will fully embrace it. Cere reassures him though and tells Cal to “guide her through the darkness.”
