The upcoming video game Star Wars Jedi: Survivor features an intriguing antagonist named Rayvis, a member of the Gen’Dai race known for their regenerative powers. In a recent interview with IGN, the game’s Cinematic Director, Dori Arazi, and Lead Writer, Danny Homan, shed light on Rayvis’s character and the challenges he poses to the game’s hero, Cal Kestis.
The Gen’Dai: A Resilient Race
To understand Rayvis’s character, one must first know about his species, the Gen’Dai. The Gen’Dai are a nomadic race whose home planet was destroyed long ago. They are known for their immense size and regenerative abilities, making them almost impossible to kill. Their bodies are made up of a shapeless mass of regenerative tentacles, and they are covered in armor to give them a manageable form. The Gen’Dai are incredibly long-lived and have witnessed the rise and fall of empires and even the Jedi.

Rayvis’s Character and History
According to Arazi, Rayvis has a long and tragic history, having witnessed and experienced a great deal over his many centuries of life. He is confident in his beliefs and motivations and uses his vast life experience to exploit the weaknesses of his enemies. Homan adds that Rayvis’s presence in the game gives Cal a new perspective on the Jedi and the Republic. Despite being a member of the same “extinct” species as Cal, Rayvis deals with his circumstances very differently, coming across as confident and self-assured.
The Contrast Between Rayvis and Cal
Arazi and Homan believe that there is a certain charm in the contrast between Rayvis and Cal. While Cal is struggling with his own questions and doubts, Rayvis knows exactly who he is and what he wants. This contrast is expected to add depth to the Star Wars Jedi: Survivor game’s story and provide an interesting dynamic between the two characters.

Challenges in Defeating an Indestructible Adversary
One of the major challenges that Cal will face in the Star Wars Jedi: Survivor is how to defeat an almost indestructible being like Rayvis. Arazi revealed that if a Jedi were to strike a Gen’Dai with a lightsaber, it would do nothing. Rayvis’s regenerative abilities make him almost invincible, and the game’s violent constructs are entirely different when dealing with such a character. It remains to be seen how Cal will overcome this formidable adversary.
Rayvis’s character is a fascinating addition to the Star Wars Jedi: Survivor‘s story. As a member of an almost indestructible race, he poses a significant challenge to the game’s hero, Cal. However, the contrast between the two characters and Rayvis’s extensive life experience promise to make for an engaging and intriguing story.
