Star Wars Jedi: Survivor players are going bananas customizing cylinders and showing them to each other
Performance woes aside, we really enjoyed Jedi: Survivor(opens in new tab), a new swashbuckling Star Wars tale starring fan favorite Punished «Venom» Cal Kestis. One delightful surprise has been how much Respawn's leaned into Cal Kustomization, with all kinds of lootable beards and hairstyles leading to personalized variations like "indie sleaze(opens in new tab)" Cal Kestis, "this town ain't big enough for the two of us(opens in new tab)" Cal Kestis, "Roinks, Raggy!(opens in new tab)" Cal Kestis, or even the ultra-rare, bemulleted "Eastbound and Down(opens in new tab)" Cal Kestis.

This is the sort of thing Wrex from Mass Effect would make if he were a Jedi—you know how aliens in sci-fi always have ships and weapons that look like themselves for some reason. As for Jedi Wrex, this is actually a thought provoking what-if scenario you can explore in my 36-part fanfiction on AO3.
