Players can truly make anything in the Saints Row reboot as a standalone, free-to-play title during the recent Summer Game Fest livestream. The creator gives fans a chance to try out the new options for crafting their own custom Boss ahead of the full game’s launch in August.
The Saints Row franchise has always featured robust character creation options, enabling fans to recreate favorite celebrities, movie characters, or comic book icons. Not too long after the character creation suite went live, players started posting spot-on Saints Row versions of famous characters like Morbius and the Joker - all of which can be shared and ed for other players to see and use. With so many options available to make popular characters, it isn't surprising Star Wars fans have taken advantage of the creator's potential.
Reddit Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order’s protagonist Cal Kestis in Saints Row Boss Factory on r/FallenOrder, which they created under the handle "Deathclaw". Cameron Monaghan’s likeness is captured well in the Saints Row Boss Factory screenshot, complete with Cal’s signature blue and yellow poncho and Jedi: Fallen Order’s lovable droid companion BD-1 perched on his shoulder. GoIdBlue’s screenshot also includes the share code for this Cal Kestis character model, allowing other players to their creation for use in Saints Row.
The real Cal Kestis made his first appearance in 2019’s Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order, in which he set out to locate the hidden secrets of the Jedi Order at the height of the Galatic Empire’s reign, exploring various worlds and battling several of the Sith-aligned Inquisitors. He is set to return in Star Wars Jedi: Survivor, which is planned to release on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S consoles sometime next year. Cameron Monaghan himself has suggested that Jedi: Survivor could take the Jedi outcast in a darker direction. Some fans have speculated the sequel could reveal that Cal is actually a clone, due to the mysterious bacta tank that was shown in the ominous Star Wars: Jedi Survivor teaser trailer from this year’s Star Wars Celebration event in May.
Clone or not, Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order fans can now play as Cal Kestis earlier than expected thanks to GoldBlue’s Saints Row Boss Factory creation, though the destructive and criminal actions players usually take in the Saints Row series might not fit with the Jedi Code that Cal tries to live by. Nonetheless, this Cal Kestis model is yet another example of the freedom Saints Row Boss Factory offers players, boosting excitement for the game.
