personally i’d be pretty disappointed if cal and merrin have a romantic storyline in jedi survivor, bc even though they have an interesting dynamic together as both being some of the last of their people, i just can’t imagine them as anything more than friends. and i know that a lot of people like them as a couple and i wouldn’t be surprised if it did happen, but i just don’t want it to😩

#a bit hypocritical of me bc im already shipping cal and that bode guy #but also i know that there’s no way they’d have a canon relationship #also idk i just always feel disappointed when reading fics that involve cal and merrin and the others meeting luke and other characters #and cal and merrin are almost always married and with kids #like cal and merrin and both so young during fallen order (18-21 im assuming for them both)#and cal has so much to learn about the force still and he’s spent the last 5 years of his life on bracca #and merrin has never left dathomir and she’s so powerful #so the two of them settling down after 5 years or so to have kids and never leave this new planet they’ve decided to live on #idk it just feels ooc and a bit disappointing #(that isn’t to say it can’t be done well - one of my fav fics atm features cal and merrin with a daughter)#(and i get that if you yourself want kids/already have them it might be satisfying to see your fav characters so the same #but as someone who doesn’t want kids it’s just disappointing to see these super interesting characters #who are still young and have their whole lives ahead of them #go down this route that it feels like every single character does)#also also - a big part of the ending of fallen order is that cal realises that he wouldn’t be able to keep any force sensitive children safe #if he tried to find them and train them #so i feel like he wouldn’t want children partly because of that #though obviously the empire is eventually defeated #idk i might delete this later because it’s a bit of a rambling vent
