Stormtrooper Sabotages Jedi's New Game Plus in Star Wars

In a hilarious clip, a Star Wars Jedi: Survivor player's New Game+ playthrough is ruined by an angry stormtrooper. Although New Game+ can bring a fresh challenge for gamers, this glitch seems particularly unfair. While the game has had a few interesting bugs since its launch, such as the ability to use the darksaber, some game-breaking bugs can ruin entire playthroughs. However, developer Respawn has made it a priority to address these issues and remove them from the game as the game progresses further from its initial release.

A recent clip posted by Redditor culdaff12 has caught the attention of Star Wars Jedi: Survivor players. The unfortunate moment shows protagonist Cal being cuffed and led away, only for the player to accidentally use the Jedi mind trick on a nearby stormtrooper, causing them to attack culdaff12. Unable to defend themselves, the player ultimately meets their demise. While the Jedi mind trick is a force power that unlocks shortly after this sequence, due to New Game+ the player can access it earlier than intended, which as demonstrated in the clip, can lead to catastrophic consequences.

Concerns were raised in the thread about the player losing XP from their untimely death. However, the original poster later confirmed that locking onto the NPC allowed them to regain their lost XP. This glitch may even prove useful for Star Wars Jedi: Survivor speedrunners, potentially offering a quicker way to move through the area. It remains to be seen whether this technique will be incorporated into the game's speedrunning strategies.

The initial launch struggles of Star Wars Jedi: Survivor seem to be a thing of the past, with developer Respawn putting in the effort to smoothen out any rough edges. The latest Update 5 has been a significant leap forward in achieving that goal, raising expectations for the game's future updates. Star Wars Jedi: Survivor can be played on PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X/S.
