K-Pop Demon Hunters and Star Wars Jedi: An Unlikely Yet Amazing Fusion

Okay, so listen—if someone had tapped me on the shoulder and said, “Hey, your latest obsession, that wild Netflix show KPop Demon Hunters, is somehow merging with your forever love, Star Wars,” I’d laugh. Seriously. What does Cal Kestis from the Jedi games have to do with, like, Rumi and Zoey from HUNTR/X?

Turns out: they all dig taking down bad guys in style. Who knew?

The video I’m talking about? AnimatedJen whipped it up. It’s a total adrenaline rush. Perfect for surviving mornings. You gotta see it.

Picture this: “How It’s Done” from HUNTR/X plays. We’ve got Jedi dude Cal Kestis with Bode Akuna and Nightsister Merrin taking on the Empire gang. They’re not skydiving off planes, but their moves? Chef’s kiss. Epic stuff.

“You want some more? Cal, I think they want some more,” Bode shouts. Next thing, Cal is dropkicking a stormtrooper while Bode zooms in with his jetpack, bam, punches galore. Merrin’s spinning her staff like she’s in a dance-off. I’m already on the edge of my seat, bro. And we ain’t even halfway through.

AnimatedJen’s stuff is gold. Fan of that channel for ages. The work she pours into the Cal Kestis saga—especially imagining him as an Inquisitor? Sign me the heck up. Those Jedi games? People love them. Everyone’s yelling for these characters to hit the big screen someday.

Star Wars, man. It’s a universe where fans just remix stuff into art. Canon? Pfft. Cal, Merrin, and, ugh, Bode (my feelings are complicated about him, okay?) doing hardcore K-Pop fight-offs? Why not? Who’s stopping them? No one, exactly. Starting now, they’re MANT/S in my head. Cere Junda as their manager? Anyone wanna pen this on AO3? Modders, too—get cooking on those costumes, if you please and thank you.

Anyway, don’t mind me—I’m diving back into Jedi: Fallen Order, blasting “Takedown” while I swipe through those Imperial bad guys.
