Star Wars Jedi Survivor – Cal Kestis Lightsaber Review April 16, 2025
Posted by Maniac in Reviews, Site Videos.add a comment
When Galaxy’s Edge first opened at Disneyland and Walt Disney World, a shop opened which sold high-quality replica lightsabers from the original Star Wars films. Since it opened, multiple polls showed that the most requested NEW lightsaber fans wished to purchase at Galaxy’s Edge was the lightsaber which belonged to the Jedi Cal Kestis from the multiplatform video game Star Wars: Jedi Fallen Order.
The original lightsaber of Cal Kestis was pulled from sale within Galaxy’s Edge for some unknown reason, but recently it has gotten a pretty decent re-release bundled with several useful accessories. We were able to find it at Tattooine Traders, the gift shop adjacent to the original Star Tours ride at Disney’s Hollywood Studios.
What can this lightsaber do? What does it come with? Is it worth the price of $240US? Take a watch for yourself and judge!
Star Wars: Jedi Survivor is out now for PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X/S.

Apple has just released a minor but important update for all iPhone, iPad, Mac, and Apple TV devices this evening. The new update includes an important CarPlay fix for iPhone, as well as some nondescript patches and improvements for all other affected devices.
The new update, depending on your device, could weigh in between 250-550MB. At the time of writing, there does not appear to be an Apple Watch update. We have not tested if Vision Pro has gotten an update or not.

One of my favorite recent games for the Meta Quest platform just announced that they’re now available to purchase on PC through STEAM!
Human Within is an interactive immersive film which allows players to control a narrative. There are branching storylines, puzzles to solve and multiple different endings. Check out the launch trailer below!
I’m really happy more people are getting the chance to play this game. Personally I’d like to see it ported to the Vision Pro in the future.
Human Within is out now on Meta Quest 2/3/Pro and PC on SteamVR.

An important update has just been released for practically everything Apple makes today. The new update, 18.4, has just been released on supported iPads and iPhones. It weighs in at over 3.6GB and should be downloaded as soon as possible.
The new update adds support for an integrated Vision Pro application on iPhones. The app will download automatically to your device following a successful update. Thankfully, this update will NOT force the new Apple Intelligence feature to autoenable on supported devices, and require you to manually turn off the Apple Intelligence feature as soon as the update concludes.
Similar updates have also been released for Apple TV, Mac and Vision Pro. The biggest new feature for the Vision Pro is expected to be a new immersive application to highlight some of the best curated spatial images and video from across the world. There does not appear to be an update for the Apple Watch at this time.
