Okay, so here it goes. This might get a bit wild.

So, uh, buckle up. I gotta talk about this thing that’s been spinning in my head lately. Picture this: KPop Demon Hunters and Star Wars somehow smashed together. Yep, you heard me right. If someone had whispered to me that this was gonna happen, I’d probably have laughed and said, “Nah, you’re kidding, right?” Because, honestly, how do Cal Kestis and the gang from Jedi games even relate to these pop star warriors like Rumi, Zoey, and Mira?
Spoiler alert: it’s all about demolishing the bad guys with flair.
Oh man, I stumbled upon this wicked video by AnimatedJen. And let me tell you, if you’re like me and need a daily dose of something utterly intense to kickstart your morning, just check it out. No clue why, but it hit me hard.
There’s this tune, “How It’s Done” from HUNTR/X — it plays while Cal Kestis, Bode Akuna, and Merrin team up to smack down Empire goons. They aren’t plummeting out of planes or anything, but the way they move? It’s like watching art. Seriously, it’s just bam-bam-wow.
Bode goes, “You want some more? Cal, I think they want some more,” and BAM! We’re seeing Cal kicking a shoretrooper like there’s no tomorrow while Bode’s zooming in with his jetpack, delivering a punch that’s, well, epic. Merrin? She does a twirl that’s just… yeah, I’m hyped. And trust me, there’s like a whole minute more of this awesomeness left.
So, uh, I gotta gush about AnimatedJen for a sec. Been hooked on their channel forever. The amount of heart they pour into this story of Cal? Honestly, it’s beautiful. Cal as an Inquisitor? Sign me up, please. The Jedi games have this huge fanbase and honestly, people are itching for a live-action spin someday.
And, I just get lost in what makes Star Wars timeless for me: fans taking bits of it and twisting it into something personal. Let’s be real, might be wild to imagine canon Cal, Merrin, and, uh, Bode (still undecided about him) boosting their powers with the magic of K-Pop to blast stormtroopers. But no one can say it didn’t happen, right? Nobody. My brain’s even calling them MANT/S — and Cere as their agent? Someone needs to scribble this on AO3, pronto. Also, modders, those outfits need to happen. I’m just saying, help a fan out here.
Anyway, catch me replaying Jedi: Fallen Order, blasting “Takedown,” and slicing up some Empire soldiers because why not? Draped in chaos is where I find my joy.
