After being officially revealed at Star Wars Celebration earlier this year, the first gameplay trailer for Star Wars Jedi: Survivor--the next Star Wars adventure from EA and Respawn Entertainment--aired during The Game Awards, with lead Jedi Cal Kestis taking center stage.

The trailer showed off some of the older Cal's new abilities, including a grappling hook for improved traversal and a new fighting stance that incorporates dual lightsabers for an extra edge. Multiple friends and foes also appear in the two-minute trailer, including the returning Cere Junda and a new friend in Bode Acuna.

To learn more about Cal Kestis's return, we had the opportunity to sit down with the game's lead actor, Cameron Monaghan, who explained at length his approach to becoming Cal, how things have changed for the Jedi since the previous game, and how the events of the last game have shaped Cal's personality.
