Funny / Star Wars Jedi: Survivor

• Cal crashing the Mantis after the very first mission of the game is funny in hindsight, considering that in the first game, Greez suggested that Cal learn to fly on some other ship.
• As always, the Separatist droids provide plenty of comedy, including two droids arguing over which outranks the other and another droid musing that the view is beautiful at its post... which Cal agrees with once he's sliced them in half.
  • In the standard B1s' moveset is the ability to throw a grenade at Cal. This normally works as well as this tactic can against a Jedi, but the droids have a random chance to fumble the throw with no outside interference, leaving them juggling the live grenade for a few seconds before blowing themselves and, likely as not, a few allies up without harming a hair on Cal's head. When the player eventually runs into suicide B1s, one get the impression they were created because Rayvis was getting tired of their incompetence.
• The various heavy droids (B2’s, Security Droids) will call out taunts such as ‘lowering expectations’ when they sock Cal in the face.
• In Pyloon’s, Cal can find a gonk droid (the power droids that are basically just boxes with legs) painted to look like it’s wearing a tuxedo. The kicker? This particular gonk droid is in the saloon’s bathroom.
• Rick the Door Technician. A random Stormtrooper who gets his own boss introduction and closing, despite being no stronger (or more important) than any other one.
  • What makes it funnier is that just before that, Cal had just fought through multiple waves of imperial soldiers and droids, which even on easier difficulties can be quite challenging. So when the player sees a boss's health bar appear they will initially feel a mix of You Have GOT to Be Kidding Me! and This Is Gonna Suck, until of course they read his name, and see a lone scout trooper rushing towards them.
• Merrin provides some excellent moments of humor:
  • Shortly after reuniting on Jedha, Cal remarks how is surprised to see her, given he believed she was off travelling the galaxy:
    Merrin: (completely deadpan) Jedha is part of the galaxy, Cal.
    • BD’s response to this comment sounds very much like a laugh at Cal’s expense.
  • As Cal and Merrin make their way to Cere's base, Merrin comments:
    Merrin: You've not lost your edge. BD seems a step slow.
    BD-1 *disgruntled beeping*
    Merrin: Learn to take a joke, droid.
  • At another point, Cal has to do some climbing and Merrin comments how he always liked to do that. Cal's response is that it comes in handy. Merrin, not amused, tells him if that was a joke, she hopes he falls.
  • Cal learns that the Imperials refer to Merrin as “the desert ghost.” He then wonders why he and BD don’t have their own nickname.
  • Merrin comments that she’s never met a Jedi that has a better sense of humor than Cordova. Cal points out that the only other Jedi she knows are him and Cere, which Merrin says proves her point.
  • When Cal first tames a spamel, a large camel/giraffe hybrid-looking creature, he offers Merrin a hand up on the animal's back. She thanks him, extends her hand... then vanishes into the ether, only to reappear seated behind Cal and cheekily state she can get up on her own. Cal merely shares an amused smirk with BD over the exchange.
• Cere admits that when Cordova arrived at the Archive he scared the shit out of her, mostly because she had come to terms with his presumed death, and then he just comes strolling in completely out of the blue.
• Cal getting Post-Kiss Catatonia after Merrin kisses him for the first time, to the point that BD-1 has to repeatedly tap his shoulder to remind him that there's a giant Imperial machine trying to kill them all.
• Cal can find his old Poncho as a jacket, albeit after a brutal brawl with the Spawn of Oggdo. The default color? The meme-worthy pink poncho.
• When you consider the timeline, Vader's boss fight becomes this in a way. The events of the game take place in the same year as Obi-Wan Kenobi, so between Vader getting beaten down by his former master, then getting lit on fire by Cere, and it's clear that the Dark Lord of the Sith is having a bad year when it comes to his battles.
• At the imperial outpost on Koboh, there is a Stormtrooper and a Security Droid at the door checkpoint inside that Cal can’t get to. The Stormtrooper taunts Cal and looks to the droid for backup, but to his surprise the Droid comes to the conclusion that since the probability of a Jedi being present is so low that Cal simply does not exist, before it starts chastising the trooper. Even better if you chose the Mindtrick option to make the guard think Cal’s not there, in which the droid manages to sound smug when it agrees.
• This exchange:

  Greez: Let Me Get This Straight... you want me to fly the Mantis through a ship-eating nebula, using a tiny tunnel, carved out by two hundred year-old tech?!

  Beat

  Merrin/Cal: Yes/Yeah. (BD-1 nods)

  Greez: ... Alright, I'm in.

• The Mantis' run through the Koboh Abyss has a few of these moments, starting first with Greez asking what's taking Zee so long to align the arrays, to which Cal replies that Dagan Gara was the last person to survive what they were about to do. Merrin adds that at least they'll all die together.

  Greez: Great pep talk, kids. Hopefully they can engrave it on my tombstone.

  • Once the arrays have finished aligning, Greez is about to head out only for the ship to shudder, causing BD-1 to bleep angrily at him, to which Greez testily responds if BD-1 wants to fly the ship. We don't understand the droid's response, but the way BD-1 beeps angrily, only for Cal to push him off to the side, just adds to the moment.
  • Finally, there's the scene where they get through the Abyss. Using the Force to guide him, Cal activates the hyperdrive to blast them through the safe corridor before it closes, with Greez screaming in fright all the while. Once the Mantis stops, Greez is still screaming in fright.
    • Cal and Merrin's own reaction to making it through the Abyss is just the cherry on top. After a beat of staring out the window, they turn to each other and passionately make out, all while Greez is still screaming beside them. Eventually, without even breaking the kiss, Merrin just lightly slaps Greez in the face to finally make him stop yelling.
  • Greez's line once all is said and done is just the icing on the cake:
    Greez: At least none of us lost our cool.
• The Fractured Delusion Force Tear is named so because all three waves in the Tear are led by a hostile, insane NPC named Soont Madas in Rambler's Reach, who you won't encounter until you've gained the ability the pass through the laser wall sealing his house.
• The Final Boss battle against Bode Akuna has a potentially funny moment in what's otherwise a more serious duel, between the second and third phases, in which Bode tries to gives Cal a No-Holds-Barred Beatdown with his own bare hands. When BD-1 tries to stop him, Bode comically pauses to glance upon the droid before swatting him away. Then the screen fades to black and things get more serious when you're asked to "embrace the darkness" once more for the final round.
• Gulu and Gido, two old men who hang out together at Rambler's Reach Outpost insulting everyone they can think of and whining about how things aren't as good as they used to be. They're basically Statler and Waldorf if they were dating.
  Gido: Is it just me, or does Zygg seem lonely these days?
  Gulu: Makes sense. Last time she had a date, we were living in a Republic!
  Both: Haha!
• One of the post-game hyperspace conversations bring up an amusing past story: At one point, Cere tried to make a Devaronian dish for the Mantis crew. According to Merrin, she somehow nearly ended up burning down the ship.
• Another post-game hyperspace conversation has Greez offering to make Kata's favorite food, before deciding he can't make what she likes and offering to make one of his own dishes instead. Kata asks what happens if she doesn't like them, but Greez is unconcerned, offhandedly betting the Mantis that she'll love them. Kata takes him up on that offer.

  Kata: Merrin, you heard him, right?

  Merrin: Oh yes.

• An advertisement for the game has Mark Hamill show up on set to mentor Cameron. When Cameron is given a second prop for his second lightsaber, Mark is surprised that Cal gets two lightsabers. He walks off the set grumbling that he was never given two lightsabers.
